Sylvia Sotomayor @terjemar.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Tracked down an intermittent 403 Forbidden error today on one of my apps. Apparently district IT added some security to the load balancer that rejected requests based on request body size, and sorry, but faculty are wordy! and they paste from Word, too. Fixed now, but I need a drink. 020

Eater of insects & small mammals, these bats are monogamous. They also "sing" likely to advertise territory but also for social reasons.
