Had the same issue this morning. The lagging status always causes the issue of "is it you, me or GitHub?" snaffoos. Really annoying to have these issues so consistently. Would switch to gitea or similar in a moment given the choice.

Just a friendly correction: `SNAFU:' Situation Normal: All Fucked Up
This misspelling brought to you by foobar.

Foobar: for when you are too polite to say FUBAR (Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition).

My two favourites lakes in the Yukon - SNAFU and TARFU (Things are Really Fued Up).

Named, of course, by the Army when they built the Alaska Highway.

I had never given any thought to this word as I had heard and used it since childhood, had no idea that was the origin!
