  • They could be upgrading hosting infrastructure - sometimes this requires servers to be shut down or restarted. They might also be applying database changes such as migrating data from one server to another, or updating the structure of the database to improve performance or support new features.

    Honestly, there are quite a number of reasons for planned downtime.

    Unplanned downtime is a different story. Usually that’s because something unexpected went wrong and there will be engineers trying to get things back up and running ASAP.


  • One really practical way to learn some new recipes is to use a recipe box service like HelloFresh or Gousto.

    They deliver a box with all the required ingredients and easy to follow recipe cards.

    For anything that you make & enjoy, you can keep the recipe card and cook it again using store bought ingredients.

    These recipe boxes regularly have deals and promotions (e.g. 60% off, refer a friend, etc.) so it doesn’t have to be too expensive.

    Or if you don’t want to order one at all, it’s worth knowing that HelloFresh make all their recipes available online for free. So you can download and print off any that you like the sound of, without ever even ordering one of their boxes.




  • I do think Firefox gets a degraded experience on some websites.

    For example, Google Meet supports virtual video backgrounds and 3D face filters for Chromium based browsers.

    And Google Search serves up an older results page design with fewer features to Firefox users. Someone has literally had to create a Firefox addon to make it pretend to be Chrome so it gets the modern results page.

    I realise these are both Google-owned websites - but I don’t think it’s accurate to say that the average user isn’t going to come up across these differences.
