when I try to view "show context" of messages in my inbox in a new tab, the page fails to load (ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE).

when I view "show context" by opening it in the same tab, it directs to the reply but then when I try to click on the "show context -->" link, the page does nothing.

this functionality was working fine prior to whatever happened that broke comments a few days ago (ddos or whatever it was) & it's stayed broken.

anyone else having similar issues?

on pc in chrome:

• if I try to check my messages & then mark as read, then go back to https://lemmy.world/ in a new tab, I'm signed out.
• when this occurs, when I try to sign in again it says "logged in" but it doesnt and I cant access my account or subscribed communities, make comments, etc. however, when I close the browser window and open a new one, I'm autosigned into https://lemmy.world/
• already deleted site specific cached data, history for the week, even all cached settings for the week across all sites. issue still occurs.

issue doesnt occur in voyager (chrome) on my android phone.

no issues on any other sites on pc in chrome that I can find.

is https://lemmy.world/ borked again?

saw the post about "The Refrigerator" and thought... "what about junk drawers?" - we've all got one. some of us have more than one ;)

post images of your Junk Drawer, discuss junk, etc.

I tried to like Invidious, I really did but it's just awful. it's basically painful to use as it is now. I've tried to play around with various combinations of settings and browsers and cant find any combination where the video doesnt either:

• take a few minutes to launch
• fail to buffer every 30 seconds or so

sometimes it'll do both or get "stuck" and then wont buffer at all, or skip frames and then the audio is out of sync with the video - it usually gets stuck at that point though. is there some magic trick that folks use to make it at least moderately usable? or is it just vaporware?

as it is, I'm just going to go back to youtube. it works & works really well. the only thing I found useful about invidous was the ability to export the channels I subscribed to as xml/json. there's better downloaders, I just dont see the draw for this utility.

there's a ukraine/russia one so I figured I'd ask.

some intriguing stuff there

got this when it was released back in the mid 90s. great album, amazing vocals.
