on all my devices i get this screen that lets you go no further.  think they got hacked?  might be time to lock down my paypal account...

Becoming standard practice on search engines because a website's security system, called a CAPTCHA, is trying to verify you are a human and not an automated bot! Mainly triggered by quote-unquote "suspicious activity", such as using a VPN or proxy, having certain browser extensions, or rapid/repetitive browsing from a single connection.

Frustrating to say the least

I get that reverb page too.....and I don't have an account with a password.

Elsewhere on the net this morning.....I'm getting a Seattle Network server error to my usual sites.

well i'm finding out that we live in a world of hyperscale cloud providers, gigawatt data centeres with AI controlling it and nobody really understands how it works.  kinda makes skynet seem like less of a hollywood special effect and more of an encroaching reality.  kinda hoping i can find a decent fretless before it all implodes and we're all back in the the stone age.

time to get baked, it seems....
