I have a few ground-nesting bees buddies in the yard.
They’re chill and I see them pollinating my garden now and then.
They’re now part of the family and I’ll knock some sense in any guest who tries to harm them. - Comment on Herpetologists be like 5 weeks ago:

Yup. On reddit, if you stumbled on a 13 hours old thread, commenting was just sending a bottle in the void.

I think that’s a fine decision to make, as an adult, for benign things.
People who make that decision for their child, for more severe stuff are pretty wack though. - Comment on Federation problem? 1 month ago:
Yup, that would also do it.
Which is something I ran into now and then with a community/user I blocked before becoming an admin.
Super confusing when you get a report and it brings you to a blank page with no info. - Comment on Federation problem? 1 month ago:
Hmm, it’s actually not out of sync, just the pinned posts are unpinned on .world but not on discuss, which I think is another known bug in lemmy.
Sounds like an account settings thing to me.
My guess is either show read posts is unchecked, or you selected different languages in settings. - Comment on Federation problem? 1 month ago:
discuss.tchncs.de/c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world does return stuff for me, although I dot have an account of discuss.tchncs.de
It does seem oit of sync by a few hours, sometimes lemmy needs to catch up with large instances.
Maybe you have ‘Show read posts’ unchecked in ypur account settings, which would hide older posts you’ve seen. - Comment on Jack Dorsey claims Bluesky is 'repeating all the mistakes' he made at Twitter 1 month ago:
It works the same a a remote instance lemmy page.
Most likely .zip banned that community, which I’m also considering since it’s mostly spam.
Actually, kbin itself is mostly spam lately - Comment on Jack Dorsey claims Bluesky is 'repeating all the mistakes' he made at Twitter 1 month ago:
Yea… no moderation would mean flooding of ads, spam, porn, child porn, etc.
I think it’s dumb af for someone like him to bitch about moderation.Example:

Water will find a way.
We had the whole foundation drain replaced and urethane sprayed the whole thing.
That was expensive as fuck, but no regrets.
The dehumidifier barely has to run in the basement now too.
Still, 20k was a lot of money to keep water out. - Comment on Which one? 1 month ago:

A1: probably, although that’s more processing power. The tool I used to fix it would have outputted a second image file if the extra data had been an image, which is then a weird case to handle. (Upload both? Make 2 links?) Certainly, it could output a better error message though.
A2: Should be lemmy-wide, although technically a malicious server could disable that somehow, which I think would only affect their local users. ie: don’t make an account on a server you don’t trust.
A3: It is a server specific setting. It’s easy enough to change the setting. Bigger limits uses more storage which costs money
A4: Possible, I would think. No idea if that’s ever on the devs’ roadmap. I think that would be added to the pict-rs code which is then used by the lemmy server.
Both are open source projects, so an instance implementing this could then share the code so it’s eventually a feature for everyone.I’ve ran into bugs before on some public image host I don’t remember where it wouldn’t strip metadata if you uploaded an album. It’s probably a good practice to strip metadata before uploading, although much less convenient. I double-check that it still works here from time to time, doubly so after upgrading versions.
- Comment on Image upload error? 1 month ago:
Got it.
Your PNG contains extra data after the PNG’s IEND marker which pict-rs probably errors on.
Your images aren’t stored as-is, among other things, their metadata is stripped so people don’t unwittingly share their geolocation, etc.
It rewrites the file in the process, but in this case doesn’t know what to do with the non png compliant data appended at the end.Here’s a fixed version of your image that uploads fine.
Using
pngcheck -vf
on the original image will give you the starting hex offset (0x10fc31) of that invalid chunk of data, which can then be browsed with whatever hex editor.
I haven’t investigated that extra data much.
It might be part of a ‘capture the flag’ game, or not.The fixed image is just the first bytes of the file upto that invalid extra chunk.
- Comment on Image upload error? 1 month ago:
Would you mind sending me that file through another means so I can test what’s happening?
Whatever file host, matrix, email, etc.Thanks

I had a telecom teacher who would either allow you to use a calculator, but you had to get everything right.
Or go without and you could get away with rougher estimates.Doing stuff like decibels by hand isn’t too bad if you can get away with a ballpark and it’s a much more useful skill to develop than just punching numbers in a calculator.
- Comment on Paging Mr. Manager 2 months ago:
a home-instance temp ban will override a remote instance perma ban (there’s a PR in the works to fix this , but it’s the way things are currently)
The way things work now is annoying.
Troll creates an account on instance A, posts racist shit or other uninspired bait on instance B.
Gets instantly permabanned from instance B.
3 days later, home instance A decides to ban them for a week.
Thus, a week later, user is automatically unbanned from home instance and all federated instances, including where they were permabanned.
Current behaviour is bananas.This particular troll’s lack of creativity is unsurprising.

I’d like to celebrate early and possibly jinx myself in the process but the line is going down.
- Comment on Anyone else notice a long delay for comments/posts from lemmy.world? 2 months ago:
Not necessarily.
Thing is, after a few consecutive failures, the next retry is now in a while (later tonight).
This retry spacing at least explains why it hasn’t gone down after the restart - Comment on Anyone else notice a long delay for comments/posts from lemmy.world? 2 months ago:
Sadly that line keeps going up.
I don’t have much of an update but it’s really specific to outbound federation and just with lemmy.world.
ie: inbound works fine, outbound with other instances works fine. - Comment on Anyone else notice a long delay for comments/posts from lemmy.world? 2 months ago:
We are currently seeing a backlog in outbound federation towards lemmy.world.
Really, this graph says it all… 📈I’ve restarted the containers, hoping it starts catching up.

Ultimately, do whatever you think you’ll be able to keep up with.
The best documentation system is useless if you keep putting it off because it’s too much work. - Comment on Change tracking ideas 3 months ago:
It can be in git even if you’re not doing ‘config as code’ or ‘infrastructure as code’ yet/ever.
Even just a text file with notes in markdown is better than nothing. Can usually be rendered, tracked, versionned.
You can also add some relevant files as needed too.Like, even if your stuff isn’t fully automated CI/CD magic, a copy of that one important file you just modified can be added as necessary.
