This is fucking ridiculous. My https://openbenches.org/ website is serving over two TERABYTES of bandwidth per month! That's up from 1.5TB the previous month. While I'd love to believe that's all people fascinated by benches, I think it's more likely to be […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Star Trek Online’s Galaxy line up for Sir Patrick Stewart has absolutely ended me this morning 😭
