Hi! You may have seen that Weird Gloop is now hosting the official League of Legends Wiki.

I also love that it got started because one of the Riot guys plays a ton of Old School RuneScape and thinks our wiki is awesome.

DNA analysis company 23andme has been in trouble lately: data was breached in a 2023 hack, and this September the entire board of directors resigned over disagreements with the CEO. That CEO, Anne Wojcicki, had said she was open to third-party takeover proposals; she only reversed that decision this week. The company is not currently for sale, but nothing about this is looking good—and it’s not clear what would happen to customer data if the company goes under.

Service A calls service B, which calls service C, and if something goes wrong at the end, the system becomes inconsistent.
