A reminder to review the kbin.run terms of service [TOS] (kbin.run)

Hi everyone, I saw a conversation on a certain magazine about the wording of kbin.run's terms of service. I'm not going to reply there because its unproductive and irrelevant to the conversation being discussed. I do; however, encourage everyone to (re)review the privacy policy and terms of service of the instance....

We were so preoccupied with whether or not we could that we didn't stop to think if we should.

Another round of performance optimizations completed (kbin.run)

I spent a fair amount of time this weekend optimizing the interaction between NGINX, PHP, Symfony framework tuning handles, Postgres and Cloudflare before I give up on this server and move kbin.run to a more powerful machine. The big change that will improve performance: I'm force rewriting the caching headers on images that are...

[REMINDER] Magazines with 0 subscribers will receive 0 updates (kbin.run)

At least 1 user needs to be subscribed to a magazine in order for it to receive federated updates, so keep that in mind after searching for a new magazine/community. I get subscribed to everything by default (hopefully Mbin will change this behavior in the future), so if it's not a magazine I want to see in my feed I will...

it's also a big FU to everyone accessing Gmail's web interface over geostationary satellite internet connections. i had to deal with that shit for a few months and HTML mode was the only way to ease the pain from how bad the latency can get. the "normal" view would hang like a mofo all the time.

But you have to trust the instruments and not become disoriented, takes lots of training and practice.

Don't let it fool you, they'll make exceptions to the rule for the ones they want to keep. This is just a way to make their "worst" performers miserable so they quit instead of laying them off. All the shit tech companies are doing it.

[META] How's my driving? (kbin.run)

Hi all, so it has been a couple weeks since the initial launch of kbin.run and I'm curious to hear what people's opinions are and how they like the overall experience here vs. other kbin instances. Generally speaking, I think kbin's stability has greatly improved since launch as the first turn on was a very haphazard attempt at...

so hear me out... not a popular opinion by any stretch of the imagination.. but the real reason manufacturers are doing this is because of how much RF spectral splatter EVs put out (think inverters/switching noise, computers, etc) and it's bad news for ham radio operators that use AM/SSB bands. it's cheaper to ignore the problem than it is to EMI shield everything to reduce the noise floor low enough so that the AM receiver works in the car, otherwise you'll hear a bunch of static/popping/whining from the EV electronics that make the AM radio effectively useless. a similar concern that has since gone away was the battle over BPL [broadband over powerline] for the same reasons in that power lines would be effectively big antennas radiating crap in the AM bands. personally, i'm in favor of keeping AM around if it forces these manufacturers to follow proper EM shielding practices, but again... minority opinion for my own selfish reasons. the FCC doesn't give a shit about ham radio, so it's not looking good.
