Oof, hugops to the Codeberg team. Unfortunately this is probably what pushes me over to sourcehut.

A message on the Codeberg statuspage reading:

"Power Outage

Since Sunday 00:18 CEST, Codeberg.org is offline. From our investigation, our primary location lost power in our racks, leaving the majority of our servers and some network switches offline. We're waiting for a fix from the datacenter operator."

From DC BOE's page on this: www.dcboe.org/rcv

For a general election contest for at-large members of the Council of the District of Columbia, where two winners are declared,

Each ballot counts as one vote for the highest-ranked candidate on that ballot.
Tabulation shall then proceed in rounds until there are two candidates remaining.
If there are more than two candidates with votes remaining, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and the votes from the eliminated candidate are transferred to the ballot's next-ranked remaining active candidate.
This process continues until two candidates remain, and they will be declared winners.

@wmata.com the RIA station only has signage for track work on the NW segment of the red line. However, it appears some Glenmont-bound trains are also scheduled to offload at NoMA (according to the website). Please find a way to convey this with in-station signage next time - it impacts planning.

I've twice been clotheslined by these Patterson signs.

idk, today he managed to detach all of his tags, and he's very concerned about squirrels crossing through his property

Oh, that explains why the app updated its icon...

The Alaska Airlines app now reads "Alaska-Hawaiian" and has the logos for both airlines.

If you live at 3120 10th Street NE, your trash bin is just past Busboys on Monroe Street and Michigan.

RIA is my local station, so I didn't ride to the station, but I did walk. When we moved to DC many years ago, I preceded my wife by several months. When she officially moved, I welcomed her to town with a SmarTrip card. #TranspoBINGO
