  today in "random good news": today's #fedora #rawhide and branched (F44) composes were both perfect (no failed artifact builds at all) and each took less than 90 minutes. that includes producing over 100 (114, for Rawhide) images. I remember when composes failed all the time, individual images failed all the time, and composes took up to 8 hours, so this is pretty cool! great job everybody!

  help me, German, I need a loan word: that feeling you get when you open a new firefox tab and type a URL snippet to open a page, but while it's open you briefly see a junk story you secretly want to read, so you open a new tab again but the junk story list has changed and the one you hated yourself for wanting to read is gone, and now you feel both frustrated and guilty
