kbin.earth server upgrade planned (kbin.earth)

Due to the increased usage and number of posts on kbin.earth, we have recently been reaching the system resource limit, and the server has frozen a few times in the past week. Sometime today (or hopefully by at least the end of tomorrow), I'll be moving kbin.earth to a new server with more ram. The expected downtime should be...

The server upgrade is complete, with only 20 minutes of downtime! Hopefully, now we won't experience resource issues any time soon.

Looks interesting. Would kbin support be added at some point?

I also volunteered for the linux magazine a month ago because it had some spam, but I haven't heard anything back.

Agreed

Also, someone should make a dedicated community to Linus Torvalds quotes.

AUA: We are the Plasma dev team. Ask Us Anything about Plasma 6, gear 24.02, Frameworks 6 and everything else in the upcoming Megarelease.

David, Nate, Josh, Marco, Carl, and Niccolò are here ready to answer all your questions on Plasma (all versions), Gear, Frameworks, Wayland (and how it affects KDE’s software), and everything in between....

Thanks for the AUA and all the work on KDE, especially with plasma 6.

It's not really a question, more of a request, but is it possible you all could make the kwrite/kate situation less complicated? I don't mind having options, but from what I understand, you can only have them both installed (or none), not one or the other. Also, if I want Kwrite to be the default editor, I have to go into every supported mime type (file association) and switch the default (instead of just once for all of them).

My preference would be that there's only one text editor (to cause less confusion; maybe just have a toggle button to switch between basic and advanced modes), and to make it easier to change file associations for common file types (like text files, video files, music, images, etc.); even if it's technically a different file format, e.g. .mp4 vs .mkv for videos, I should only have to set the default app once.

You can have only one installed, and Fedora KDE ships this way. If your distro doesn’t offer that, it seems like a distro packaging issue.

Thanks for the info; it does look like that's how my distro packages it.

make it easier to change file associations for common file types
That’s in Plasma 6. :)

That's awesome to hear! It's a problem I've had for a while, so I'm glad it's being worked on.

Anyway, I just want to say I really appreciate all the work y'all have done over the years; I've been using plasma for the past 6-7 years, and it's a desktop environment like no other.

Iconify Icon web component version 2.0.0-beta.1 is available: https://iconify.design/news/2024.html#icon-200b1

New version offers big performance boost by rendering icons only when icon is visible.

You can see it in action on new Iconify icon sets website that renders hundreds of icons.

The new icon sets website looks great, I hadn't seen it till now! Also, thanks for all the updates and hard work you've put into Iconify, it's a great tool.

Interstellar testers needed (kbin.earth)

I'm currently in the process of uploading Interstellar to the Google Play Store, but before it's considered "Production", I need to meet the following requirement: "you must run a closed test for your app with a minimum of 20 testers who have been opted-in for at least the last 14 days continuously". If any of ya'll would like...

Kbin already let's you apoint users as instance level moderators (without admin permissions). So, Ernest probably just needs someone that can help with the moderation, because I can't tell he actually looks at the reports, considered I've reported several spam posts before (from kbin.social) and nothing was removed.

kbin has the Interstellar app, for android: github.com/jwr1/interstellar
