Notable interments
gollark: My internet connection does seem to be stable now, at least, but with a 35% lower download speed than usual.
gollark: Azure apparently had a 775% increase in demand or something crazy like that.
gollark: It's probably under heavier load than usual.
gollark: The internet connection here has become slow and unstable. I hope this is fixed soon because having to stay at home without even working interweb connectivity would be horrible.
gollark: Also, OpenSSL still had Heartbleed for ages, sooo...
