  • Much further back… Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. The party was founded on anti- slavery. The current party has nothing to do with the original party.

    1. Fontaine and 2. Rondeau des Fleurs et des Rapieres (Genshin Impact; HOYO-Mix, London Symphony Orchestra)

    The music in Genshin Impact never disappoints.

    Here, the London Symphony plays the main theme of the nation of Fontaine (#1) as well as a battle theme (#2). Fontaine is a water-themed nation ruled by the Hydro Archon and heavily inspired by France, from its environmental design to a story that appears to heavily focus on justice, mystery, and stage magic, and I think both pieces expertly capture these thematic elements:

    1. Use of the glass harp and glass harmonica, both of which need water to function, to create a sense of mystery.
    2. Many cascades of notes throughout both pieces resembling waterfalls.
    3. Highlights of traditional instruments, like the accordion, to elevate that French influence.
    4. Rapid and unpredictable tempo to create that sense of mystery and underlying tension. Many parts recall Harry Potter or stage magic tricks.
  • I think while the general communities have made it, a lot of niche communities failed to attract enough population to keep on generating more content. As an example, just search for the "Imaginary" series of landscape art communities on the Fediverse (eg. ImaginaryVistas). Many of them don't have any recent posts or 1 post per days or weeks. That's not enough to keep people invested. Even the largest digital art community is still mostly carried by 1 person.

  • The Lord said that the "VCR shall be saved" with the knife technique, but in the following paragraph, it was not the VCR that was saved, but the man that was saved. The VCR was not saved!

  • It looks like it could fall over with any gust of wind and kill someone.

  • Should the instances that responded to you be refederrated? I’m pretty sure I saw some of them on lemmy.world’s block list. I think it would be sad for these small servers to not realize they are, in fact, not connected to the greater fediverse. On the other hand, if you’re an admin, and you don’t know what you’re doing to the point of not knowing your server was infected by hundreds of thousands of bots, maybe it’s too dangerous to refed.

  • Oh good to know. I guess I only really caught reddit downtimes in the past.

  • I like how it looks exactly like reddit's status page, especially considering they just released old.lemmy.world.

  • Luckily I did bring my flashlight and batteries, otherwise I would have been screwed. I did not plan to stay up so late, but the ascent to the ridge hike took longer than anticipated, and of course, what was a sunny day in the morning progressed to clouds and rainstorm by the afternoon, which continued into the night.

    I continued as best as I can. I was acutely aware of the danger of a trip and fall that might break an ankle and hypothermia - some parts of the hike still had snow, and anytime I stopped, I could feel the cold seeping in.

    In the end, I reached my car at around 10 PM.

  • Getting caught in a large rainstorm in the evening while on a mountain trail with 3 more hours of rocky descent to go.

  • I just experienced my first actual report. 🙃

  • The Voyager app just recently added the ability to block a community directly from the feed without opening the post or the community.

  • The only person I met with that name, and only in small amounts, is Henrietta Lacks.

  • I feel like it would be a bot purge or lemmy.world and several other instances being down from the hacking.

  • Consider undervolting (via Throttlestop or Intel XTU) to prolong your laptop’s longevity and possibly mildly increase its performance. For the same CPU workload, undervolting will reduce the amount of heat generation and therefore the temperature of the CPU, thereby decreasing the risk of hitting the CPU’s temperature throttling and risk of CPU damage.

    There are ready guides on youtube and r/gaminglaptops sub, but I’ll leave reddit links out for now. Just search for your laptop model since the exact values will depend on the model and also on luck. If you’re lucky, you can undervolt a lot without causing instabilities.

  • You don’t see anything from the bot because lemmy.world already defederated from lemmit.online.

    1. Do the maneuver @[email protected] suggested.
    2. Try Flonase. Helps a lot but takes 1-2 weeks to start to work.
    3. See a doc if things persist.
  • That drone live view was pretty nice.

  • I was really surprised to hear this, so I dug a little deeper. It looks like an honest mistake.

    Here's what their admin said:

    We unintionally did until about 8 hours ago.

    Lemmy.ml has a ton of bot crawlers in its nginx logs spam fetching posts, so I added the bots to an nginx block. Turns out one called kbinbot wasn’t actually a crawling bot, but their federation requester.

    If we don’t respond quickly, its because we have notification backlogs that are months long at this point.

  • @[email protected] and @[email protected]

    I got you. I think this guy is the original photographer.

    However, the original has one light at the left-most side out, and it's a popular photo to post on reddit because people photoshop to fix that light and do other funny things to it. So this is someone's edit to fix that broken light.

    PSA - The 0.18.X updates changed the community banner's aspect ratio.

    The previous maximum displayed banner size is 912 x 300.

    The current maximum is 1770 x 300 but dynamically changes as you shrink your browser window.

    The community icon remains the same at 150 x 150.

    You can see how this messed up even this community's banner by cutting off the lemmy.world mascot at the top. If you have text in your banner, you'll need to position them closer to the center than before. It can be... mildly infuriating.
