Heh, lucky you, at least you get a message. My ISP just drops traffic to the affected IPs. No ping, no traceroute, just a spinner in the browser until it says "page not found".
Every response and comment from LaLiga, the football organization responsible for this, has been so far that this is a minor issue that only affects a few bunch of nerds who talk about "docker images" or "github repositories" or "whatever that means".
Meanwhile, there are testimonies of smart home devices like anti-theft alarms or automatic doors, that stop working whenever there is a football match, because their backends rely on Cloudflare.
Last week, a woman asked for help on social media, as the GPS tracking app she uses to see where her father with dementia is, went offline during a match. It was getting late and he still wasn't back home, and she couldn't locate the tag he was wearing to find him: https://www.infobae.com/america/agencias/2026/04/05/laliga-d...
It's hard to say this, because no one should experience an event like this, but as stressful as these are, it's the only way to make the mainstream people care about this censorship. "I cannot pull a docker image" will never be on nightly news, but safety and personal security is a more powerful driver for discourses.
With all due respect, but if humans can figure out how new unseen programs work by using -h and seeing what options exist and what they do, I am sure robots can figure it out too, or else they weren’t that intelligent to begin with.
It happened to me earlier today too. The response the machine gave me was completely different, as if it was a different codebase and a completely different task. It also had a few paths to some files and the username used for the `$HOME` directory was not mine. Local mode, not cloud or anything like that, and Auto mode.
Couple of "what the heck are you talking about"s, but because the attitude continued, I switched to Sonnet 4.5 and tried again, and this fixed the issue for me. I forgot to document it, and when I tried to export the original conversation for analysis it was gone.
The Slopware paradox: I don't know if the error message is the actual website and this is just post-AI nihilism, or if it's a configuration error because if your website is not even a serverless edge function then `bro do you even scale`.

Now let's replace in this sentence the word Grokipedia with Wikipedia and ask the same question to Musk and to his followers: The need to hate on Wikipedia is weird to me. It's another site on the web.
Hi, author of Jacqueline here. I read HN almost daily so it caught me off guard to see my stuff here.
It's been a long time since I did this (2019). It was a prototype just to see if a standard PC boot loader could hand-off into something that's not C (or Rust). And yes you can, as long as the programming language has a way to control how symbol names are exported, and then to link the object code with the rest of the boot loader.
You won't have a runtime unless you implement one, so for most languages there is no stdlib, no exception handling, no garbage collector... But it is fun anyway. As I said, this was a prototype and once it could say Hello World I considered it complete.
Happy to see it here though, and I'll be happy to answer any questions about what I remember, or what is like to write code in Pascal, or OS development or i386 in general.
