I know the title targets the correct audience, but I have to say, that was a great read - if the title tickles your brain, then read the article, its worth it.

because it was a median, milquetoast-ish article that mentions a party other than blue or red.

always cool to see routing by rumour in meatspace.

they are. props, however, for system76 branching out into their in-house hardware.

AFAIK, most of the community dropoffs are now coordinated with state and local relief. and yes - stay out of the areas, its a mess and coordination over the next few days rather than ad hoc scramble is what will save the most lives.

I have persoanlly heard a steady stream of millitary large transport helicopters over my area, so I know materials and personnel may be getting through.

this is not being discussed and actioned on nearly enough.

from friends in NC... and example of what is desperately needed in all affected areas. things are really, really bad. first aid kits are also in demand. at this point a cut can kill you.

wow! this must be the most "fuck you in particular" moment ever.

my undaeratanding is that lens material is so optically tuned for weight that removal of any amount of material makes a difference to the focusing - not to mention the possible coatings on the lens. this is what I have been told, I have no other evidence.

more than a few actors may (likely?) have very low yield devices. only takes a few to panic people and governments into stupid actions.

...and this ensures it will happen again. with greater magnitude. the machine needs more meat.

I am so so so expecting a nuclear exchange in or around the middle east witin 12 months - possibly after a "dirty nuke" attempt somewhere.

I am clutching at straws to even excuse this out of my top 3 worst case black swans.

only positive news is that nuclear winter will sure fix up that global warming thing real good.

just updated to the v0.0.35 f-droid build and jerboa started to consistently crash at seemingly random times. likewise, I would get web UI error notifications while using the web frontend.

did a little testing and noticed that it may be related to the "show avatars" setting being enabled.

turning "show avatars" off and saving the settings seems to have eliminated the issues on both web and app.

will continue to test and update the post if needed. any others able to confirm or refute this particular issue might be helpful.

edit: there are still crashes related to editing a post, but crashes while scrolling through posts and comments seem to be much reduced. any feedback is welcome.

edit2: further poking suggests the underlying cause may be jerboa not handling server response timeouts well. turning off avatars may reduce the number of API calls and therefore the number of potentially mishandled timeouts. crash frequency is likely variable as a result of variable server load. if others also experience reduced crash frequency with avatars turned off then I can either create a github issue or add info to an existing one.

 

sorry about the quality - was stopped (safety first) but dealing with poor picture taking conditions.

 

Just checked the Jerboa git and...

Had to document it for posterity.

 

I know that many of us already know this, but it should repeated as often as needed.

we are the network -- the network is us.

social is nothing without the interactions that we create. reddit was just a place; a place that, because of a centralized power dynamic, abused us all.

we have are now at a cultural juncture, an opportunity to bring back what each of us knows to be true. our interactions do not need to capitalized, marketed and sold.

we are not products. we are the network.

please, find communities that even mildly interest you or catch you eye, join them and comment on posts.

just had this conversatin with the wife and she is joining Lemmy to start her own federated social journey.

pretty please... we need a samwise "share the load" meme for Lemmy instances, and it should be pinned far and wide.

mememasters... do your thing.
