I am in San Diego, connecting via WiFi, I've got 3 out of four bars in coverage. On my phone it is fast too. [06:40] schestowitz[TR2] Hmmm, I'm trying on my phone and laptop and it takes about 12 seconds to bring up the webpage. [06:40] schestowitz[TR2] Also when I click on any story, it is also about 12 seconds (such as this one) https://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/343656/index.html. I also tried it on my girlfriend's laptop and it took the same. [06:40] schestowitz[TR2] The ping times are reasonable, but the website seems to have a long pause before it shows anything. does anyone else notice this? [06:40] schestowitz[TR2] hmmm, i noticed it's fast to my computer through the mobile network, maybe there's something weird with my router or wifi config although I don't notice any issues on any other website...I'll try rebooting the router and playing around more. [06:40] schestowitz[TR2] I rebooted my router and it's still 10 seconds. Every other website is fast, maybe there's an issue routing packets? Does anyone else notice a problem? I do notice it's an issue with SSL only. When i do curl https://lxer.com, it takes 10 seconds to respond, but when I do a curl http://lxer.com, then it responds very quickly telling me to use SSL.

[15:32] schestowitz[TR2][15:32] schestowitz[TR2]As can be seen, citing age, expenses, andmost notablya lack of time, he stated that continuing the project is no longer feasible. Despite the somber nature of this announcement, Sherman expressed deep appreciation for everyone who supported the distro over the years.

[19:26] schestowitz[TR2][19:26] schestowitz[TR2]In a recent post, Joshua Strobl, a well-known open-source advocate and lead contributor to the Budgie Desktop project, took a deep dive into the achievements of 2024 and highlighted plans for the year ahead. Here are the most important things.
[19:26] schestowitz[TR2]In 2024, the team completed rigorous testing and daily-driver status on Wayland. Though they aimed to deliver Budgie 10.10 by the end of the year, various development challenges prompted them to shift the release date to 2025. Nevertheless, the result of their 2024 efforts speaks volumes: [...]
