Is Geekhack down?

[elecplus]

There is no Theme button at the bottom of my page! What am I missing here? I use Chrome.

[bhtooefr]

Not seeing it on Firefox either, just the Deskthority dropdown.

[BlueBär]

I'm using Internet Explorer, maybe it's a browser issue.

[yobinad]

There's no theme button on chrome and safari

[SL89]

nothing on IE either, i have a feeling your messing with me

[webwit]

I forgot. It's only available to club members who sacrificed a clickclack to the Keyboard Oracle.

[elecplus]

Hmm, so membership does not count, eh?

[BlueBär]

I miss my Oktoberfest
But the night theme was worth it.

[Blaise170]

I can't find it either lol.

I have started a Geekhack benefit T-shirt sale.

$5 from each sale will go to Geekhack for operating costs.

It took me two days before I found how to change my avatar.

have they announced a need for more capital?

have they announced a need for more capital?

I contacted mkawa and he said that there was a strong likelihood that they would "need money".

Who knows, but it takes hundreds of dollars, at least, to do anything, these days.

I am a club member but do not want to sacrifice a Clack to the Oracle, so I can live for now with inverting the colors.

Those bitches...

[Oobly]

<GeekHAck>'s fallen in the wah-taa!

Enter Oobly, waits for audience applause, not a sausage.
Looks around, heeey, this place looks nice. Can I stay?


Can't believe I haven't posted here before now. Seems to be my kind of place. Guess I just got sucked in over at GH.

Hello and welcome! Make yourself comfortable.

Takes about $2 to provision a server in AWS. Even less if you just use the free tier for your first year...

I strongly doubt that an EC2 micro instance would be sufficient for running GH though.

not even close

Especially as it appears to be a common target of the script kiddy.

[Muirium]

Someone getting rubbed up the wrong way at GH? Nah, I won't believe it!

I hope it gets up again, I am interested in some news regarding a 1800 layout keyboard I ordered, the TX1800, and some other group buys, actually i can't believe it is down that long. I also can't believe that only one guy runs and pays a discussion board that big (is it like that?)! For me it was always slow, especially when they switched to https.

[Khers]

When GH is down, the spy is too fast! I can't keep up!

[tootallforthis]

When GH is down, the spy is too slow! I'm bored!

FTFY

Despite the constant griping about DT and /r/MK from the Geekhack users what are the 2 safe havens now that GH is down.

[Blaise170]

Yeah GH always took like 30 seconds to load compared to 2-3 seconds for other sites.

I never complained about it. I check OCN, GH, DT, and /r/mk consistently, as the dynamics of them are different from site to site.

I've been a member of all three for about the same time. I have never really posted in /r/MK and DT until now though.

I always blamed it on Geekhack being hosted in the US as opposed to Deskthority in Europe, but it looks like it's slow for everyone.

I use Tapatalk, so in this stripped down version, both DT and GH are equally fast. I encourage all of you to use Tapatalk.
