I am sad to report that traceroute bad.horse no longer works as a network test for me.
Old output attached for historical purposes.

@sindastra It’s the lines to a song from Dr. Horrible’s Singalong Blog (2008)

@sindastra Somebody somewhere set up all those domains. I don’t know who.
It was a work of art.

Realizing I only ever listened to “TV Party” so may as well give the rest of the album a shot.

@nivex @mhoye@mastodon.social interesting!

@djsundog It’s fitting my mood today, that’s for sure!

@sindastra but it worked for @nivex, so it’s not just that it’s down.
I don’t know why we’d get diverging paths. Clearly I have more to learn about networking!

Five minutes here, ten minutes there. I’ll finish when I finish.

@KungFuChickenNoodle There’s hope yet! Check the thread. Instead of a tragedy, this story is a mystery.

@poncio @thegibson I got several “your account has been locked after failed attempts”-type emails a few weeks ago, except that direct login worked just fine.
Don’t know if it was phishing. Didn’t occur to me to click the links in the email.
hackers.town: 2020-07-10 Fri 11:52
@poncio @thegibson my usual routine when I want to click is copy and paste the link. If I’m suspicious, I paste it in a text buffer first and scrutinize.

@klardotsh Clearly, bad.horse itself has judged some of us and found us wanting.
And hi!

update: bad.horse has found my suffering sufficiently amusing to end it.

@klardotsh We are learning network topology ISN’T THIS FUN
I got a successful trace this time.

I didn’t have to build & deploy mid-aughts Java Web apps to understand why Rails got so popular so quick, but now that I have I feel that understanding at a visceral level.

Deep breaths. Folks know there’s an a lot of awful. I don’t need to remind them.
