what's the status of embedding stuff on cohost? I saw some wild css stuff, and of course there are images and then custom embeds for bandcamp/birdzone/etc, but like can I stick a dosbox-to-javascript image in a chost too or

Im gonna guess it’s variations on “What do you mean i can’t be an rear end in a top hat?” with the usual declensions of “Show me where the line is” and “What is being an rear end in a top hat anyway?”

sounded like it was something around third party backups or something I didn't really follow or have any context for, so I just kept scrolling to see who else was yelling at whom

but like I still don't know what the problem is, like, these tweets around "they didn't run the TOS by a lawyer" and "the TOS is abusive" might be true or not but they don't tell me what the TOS ought to have said

pretty wild that half their expenses are from their CDN

like when I worked there I knew that Fastly was among the more expensive of the edge offerings but in hindsight maybe continuing to take cloudflare's accidental free enterprise tier would have been a better move
