Quick note that post-by-email and comment-by-email is (sometimes?) failing silently without actually posting right now! I'm pretty sure this is related to last night's shenanigans and will be fixed once Mark can finish the full fix for it, which he's working on, but if you've posted or replied by email in the last 24 hours, fish it out of your sent folder to check if it posted!

EDIT: This should be fixed as of around 7AM EDT! We *believe* everything that was stuck in the plumbing has been sent along to your journal or the comment thread it was meant for; it's definitely not where it was stuck anymore, at least.

Michaēl ā Cervantēs.
Dominus Quixōtus ā Manicā. Versio latina ab Antonio Peral Torres. Centro de Estudios Cervantinos MCMXCVIII (1998).

Ē capitulō sexāgēsimō quartō librī alterī

Dominus Quixōtus contūsus et perturbātus, quī nondum cassidem levāvit et loquēns tamquam sī ex sepultūrā loquerētur, vōce dēmissā atque īnfirmā dīxit:

-Dulcinea ā Tobōsō est pulcherrima mulier in tōtō mundō et egomet īnfelīcissimus eques tōtius orbis terrārum et nōn est bonum ut dēbilitās mea hanc vēritātem dēturbet. Quārē, eques, opprime lanceam tuam et aufer ā mē vītam, quoniam abstulistī meum honōrem.

Don Quijote, molido y aturdido, sin alzarse la visera, como si hablara dentro de una tumba, con voz debilitada y enferma, dijo:

-Dulcinea del Toboso es la más hermosa mujer del mundo, y yo el más desdichado caballero de la tierra, y no es bien que mi flaqueza defraude esta verdad. Aprieta, caballero, la lanza, y quítame la vida, pues me has quitado la honra.
Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quijote de la Mancha II, 64

Suprā in titulō verbō adiectīvō "sēmitārio" ūtor prō illō "asendereado" crēbrius ā Cervantēs ūsurpātō.

Robby has managed to put in a temporary fix for the site errors and things failing to refresh or not showing up where they should! The permanent fix is going to need Mark's experience, and unfortunately -- seriously, this literally never fails -- Mark has been on an international flight all day, because of course he has. (Never. Fails. He and I are not allowed to both take vacation at once.)

The site will work just fine with the temporary fix in place, things just might be a little slow here and there. We'll keep you updated.

We're aware of site traffic issues and are working to fix them for the people who are having problems! (The tactics the damn bot traffic uses are endlessly shifting, and they're really good at looking like real traffic, sigh.)

Testing needed in advance of code push!

28 May 2026 04:10 pm[staff profile] denise posting in [site community profile] dw_maintenance
It's been a while since we've done a full code push rather than just hotfixes for bugs, so we are well overdue! Depending on availability, we're aiming to do one sometime soon; we'll let you know specifics once we've worked out good timing for everyone who needs to be available.

However! The reason it's been so long is we kept trying to get some of the stuff that's pending to "really finished" instead of just "mostly finished", and then we once again looked around and went "oh no, this is a really big code push with a lot of changes". Those make us nervous, because while we do a lot of testing ourselves, y'all are really creative in how you use the site and we inevitably find a bunch of edge cases when we let you loose on new code with your real-world data!

So, if folks have some spare time in the next few days, it would be a huge help if you could spend half an hour or so using the site the same way you normally do but with the "Site-Wide Canary" beta features flag turned on. Canary mode is a sort of "live testing" mode: it's your real data, but running the most up-to-date code.

Canary mode always does have a few glitches -- there may be missing text strings or errors about missing database properties, which is a limitation of how we run it. We don't need to know about those, but anything else weird that you run into, leave a comment with what you were trying to do and the error message you got.

I'll repeat that the "here be dragons" caution that's on the beta features page: some things may be broken, so don't use it for when you're doing something important. But a few more eyeballs on it before the push will help the push go more smoothly for everyone.

For folks who want to concentrate on what's changing, we haven't finished the second code tour of what's going to be in this push, but the ffirst one has a good chunk of what's going to be going live. (We'll get the second half done ASAP!)

Praedilecta praefatio

 TITĪ LĪVĪ AB VRBE CONDITA PRAEFĀTIŌ

Factūrusne operae pretium sim sī ā prīmordiō urbis rēs populī Rōmānī perscrīpserim nec satis sciō nec, sī sciam, dīcere ausim, quippe quī cum veterem tum volgātam esse rem videam, dum nōvī semper scrīptōrēs aut in rēbus certius aliquid allātūrōs sē aut scrībendī arte rūdem vetustātem superātūrōs crēdunt. Utcumque erit, iuvābit tamen rērum gestārum memoriae principis terrārum populī prō virilī parte et ipsum cōnsuluisse; et sī in tantā scrīptōrum turbā mea fāma in obscūrō sit, nōbilitāte ac magnitūdine eōrum mē quī nōminī officient meō cōnsōler. Rēs est praetereā et immēnsī operis, ut quae suprā septingentēsimum annum repetātur et quae ab exiguīs prōfecta initiīs eō crēverit ut iam magnitūdine labōret suā; et legentium plērīsque haud dubitō quīn prīmae orīginēs proximaque orīginibus minus praebitūra voluptātis sint, festīnantibus ad haec nova quibus iam prīdem praevalentis populī vīrēs sē ipsae cōnficiunt: egō contrā hoc quoque labōris praemium petam, ut mē ā cōnspectū malōrum quae nostra tot per annōs vīdit aetās, tantisper certē dum prīsca [totā] illā mente repetō, āvertam, omnis expers cūrae quae scrībentis animum, etsī nōn flectere ā uērō, sollicitum tamen efficere posset.

Quae ante conditam condendamve urbem poēticīs magis decōra fābūlīs quam incorruptīs rērum gestārum monumentīs trāduntur, ea nec adfirmāre nec refellere in animō est. Datur haec venia antīquitātī ut miscendō hūmāna dīvīnīs prīmōrdia urbium augustiōra faciat; et sī cuī populō licēre oportet cōnsecrāre orīginēs suās et ad deōs referre auctōrēs, ea bellī glōria est populō Rōmānō ut cum suum conditōrisque suī parentem Martem potissimum ferat, tam et hoc gentēs hūmānae patiantur aequō animō quam imperium patiuntur. Sed haec et hīs similia utcumque animaduersa aut exīstimāta erunt haud in magnō equidem pōnam discrīmine: ad illa mihi prō sē quisque ācriter intendat animum, quae vīta, quī mōrēs fuerint, per quōs virōs quibusque artibus domī militiaeque et partum et auctum imperium sit; lābente deinde paulātim disciplīnā velut dēsidentēs prīmō mōrēs sequātur animō, deinde ut magis magisque lāpsī sint, tum īre coeperint praecipitēs, dōnec ad haec tempora quibus nec vitia nostra nec remedia patī possumus perventum est.

Hoc illud est praecipuē in cognitiōne rērum salūbre ac frūgiferum, omnis tē exemplī documenta in inlūstrī posita monumentō intuērī; inde tibi tuaeque reī pūblicae quod imitēre capiās, inde foedum inceptū foedum exitū quod vitēs. Cēterum aut mē amor negōtiī susceptī fallit, aut nulla unquam rēs pūblica nec maior nec sānctior nec bonīs exemplīs dītior fuit, nec in quam [cīvitātem] tam sērae avāritia luxuriaque immigrāverint, nec ubi tantus ac tam diū paupertātī ac parsimōniae honōs fuerit. Adeō quantō rērum minus, tantō minus cupiditātis erat: nūper dīvitiae avāritiam et abundantēs voluptātēs dēsīderium per luxum atque libīdinem pereundī perdendīque omnia invexēre.

Sed querellae, nē tum quidem grātae futūrae cum forsitan necessāriae erunt, ab initiō certē tantae ordiendae reī absint: cum bonīs potius ominibus vōtīsque et precātiōnibus deōrum deārumque, sī, ut poētīs, nōbis quoque mōs esset, libentius inciperēmus, ut orsīs tantum operīs successūs prosperōs darent.

Conventiculum invium

Doleō quia magnā cum difficultāte duo saltem gladiātōrēs locum invēnērunt. Leō post quadrantem pervēnit, Beātus autem in fīne conventiculī adfuit. Dē Colīnō vērō nihil omnīnō audīvī. Tōtā vītā Catōnis lēctā, usque ad Nep. Att. 5 prōgressī sumus.  Etsī Nepōs pauca in librō hoc dē Catōne scrīpsit, didicimus dē inimīcitiā inter eum et Scīpiōnem Āfricānum. Quod congruit cum pelliculā Ītalicā mihi placitā:



Subtitulī Anglicī hīc inveniuntur.
