Xenia is so awesome.

I wasn’t able to do that even, Firefox with HSTS is dumb and goes against user freedom by failing to give a meaningful bypass method. Though I was able to get around it.

FYI people won’t tell you how to disable HSTS enforcement, just delete the contents of the file SiteSecurityServiceState.txt then set permissions of it to read only and owned by root for good measure. Then the unbypassable warnings are able to be bypassed same as any other http warning on an https site.

Just checked my SDF Inbox and noticed a message from them:

Hello and thank you for using lemmy.sdf.org!

There has been a recent uptick in new sign ups, so we’d like to get in touch and welcome you as well as provide updates to existing members.

Currently, the lemmy instance is running v0.18.5 and we’re watching 0.19.x beta efforts. We do have testing on a smaller instance and once there is a formal release, we plan to upgrade lemmy.sdf.org

For those who have set up 2FA there has been a reported issue where a user can get “locked out” from their account. If you are in this situation, please reply to this message from the email address you signed up with and we can get you reset.

During the Summer there was a large “reddit exodus” and lots of folks signed up with new instances. However, many of those instances have either have become ghost towns or have disappeared all together.

We want to assure you that lemmy.sdf.org as well as our regional instances are in for the long haul. SDF.ORG is celebrating 36 years as a non-commercial community resource this year.

Thank you for using lemmy.sdf.org

Still seems very sudden to update the main instance to 0.19 considering there hasn’t been a formal release and it is still very buggy as @GenderNeutralBro pointed out the Instance block feature isn’t even functional, but more importantly almost none of the Apps out there actually work with this version.

Very true in more ways than one.

It seems weird for them to do it because it’s so close to spawn and it could be considered an ugly build.

I also wonder if it was from a player not here or banned, though it still wouldn’t make much sense to grief their house instead of just taking it down or giving it away.

Also it seems like they’re extending the subway tunnel underneath it as well as carving out a tunnel for the nearby road through the hill.

Funnily enough I have to hide terminal windows when updating while I’m around any of my less tech savy friends who think it’s scary or creepy. I really dislike them portraying this as “hacking”.
