shit winds a blowing, randers

After subscribing to a new magazine, I get booted to m/all despite my default view being m/sub (kbin.run)

I’m on mobile right now. I tested and this does not happen on other kbin instances. It also seems to happen with some magazines but not others and I’m not sure why—best guess is some of the magazines are totally new to this instance and some are not.

very interesting observation, and that could very well be the cause of this behavior, i.e., if this instance hasn't federated with a specific magazine before, it might just redirect to /all the first time since there isn't any federated data available yet. i'll have to dig through kbin's codeberg issues to see if someone else has reported this behavior, but it doesn't sound familiar to me.

there's a manual retry period i added for things that fail to federate correctly the first time, but yes... it's a little sketchy right now. it could also be something with this latest development code. the comparison between kbin instances is a little bit of a pain right now since we don't tag the releases with version numbers. i will say there are several federation improvements with pull requests ready to get merged into the code, but @ernest hasn't approved them yet.

seems like this is an area that a nice "arrangement" could be made, that is, US congress: you grant T-Mobile their band 41 licenses that are being held up by your own incompetence in exchange for T-Mobile actually addressing their own repeated incompetence involving anything related to data security. sell it to the public under the guise that it would be detrimental to the US consumer by letting T-Mobile continue to expand their public reach while completely ignoring the importance of data privacy and security of said public... and you can go on taking bribes from AT&T and Verizon in the meantime, dunno, sounds like a win-win to me.

Admin of my instance seems to have gone inactive, looking to migrate to a small instance with an active admin (kbin.cafe)

I’d like to help out with decentralization, with users not all gathering in one place, so I don’t want to go to kbin.social or fedia.io. I did look at fedidb.org and the list of instances there, but it doesn’t tell me if the admin is active. I could just visit every instance listed there and check the admin’s profile for...

you can give kbin.run a try if you'd like. i've been actively keeping it up-to-date with the latest commits to the kbin develop branch, even had my own admin feature pull request accepted (yay!).

kbin.social's federation was disabled early on and a lot of users ended up sticking with the mothership, but kbin.run has been online since "the exodus" 3 months ago. honestly it's been more for me to use as a gateway to the threadiverse/fediverse, but i've kept registrations open while actively purging the occasional spam accounts that make their way through. i sysadmin as a hobby (i like giving myself extra work) and i will scale up the instance if it becomes necessary, but the current bare metal virtualization environment has no problem keeping up with the way it is. i also try to be as transparent as possible with the faq/privacy policy/terms of service pages and posts in the local meta and announcement magazines, but realize it's a US based instance so the laws of the land apply in full force, of course.

Apple A17 Pro SoC Within Reach of Intel i9-13900K in Single-Core Performance (www.techpowerup.com)

An Apple "iPhone16,1" was put through the Geekbench 6.2 gauntlet earlier this week—according to database info this pre-release sample was running a build of iOS 17.0 (currently in preview) and its logic board goes under the "D83AP" moniker. It is interesting to see a 16-series unit hitting the test phase only a day after the...

hell, even intel tried to get away from x86 with itanium but failed miserably... and they screwed themselves again by recently dumping the RISC-V pathfinding a year after initiation. i worry about the future of Arc, but maybe they'll pull their head out of their ass on that one if we're lucky.

Yep, find a cheapo 5g modem with an ethernet port that's capable of being given an identity crisis from the usual sources and you'll be golden...ask me how I know. We ain't got shit out where I am other than garbage DSL, but decent 5g coverage from the big 3 surprisingly.

Starlink only serves a purpose in truly rural or remote areas where, unsurprisingly, they'll make no money. The number of people I see using it as a backup connection or aggregate it with terrestrial cable or fiber connections is obscene... and a waste of money imo.

and different parts of the body resonate at different frequencies...part of the reason ~2.4 GHz was picked for the common household microwave is water molecules resonate there (and other harmonically related frequencies too... it's why a lot of the unlicensed ISM stuff is allocated there: crappy atmospheric propagation). also the necessary magnetron and waveguide for that freq is conveniently sized for a kitchen appliance and not too complicated.

EDIT: see proper principle of operation in reply below

oh, i totally agree with your points and i think most of us are already doing that... i was being borderline sarcastic. now, that said, i have no knowledge of what prompted this as a possible resolution by @ernest and it's none of my business, but i can take an educated guess at the calibre of individual(s) that prompted this as a solution. sometimes you have to be a hard-ass if you want to maintain quality and vision (cough mr torvalds) and @ernest has made it clear he's too nice. :-)

the upfront cost for something like geothermal is still outrageous, though. anecdotally, i bought my house with an older unit that ended up catastrophically failing after the reversing valve got stuck and destroyed the compressor. only 1 local shop in the area serviced the thing (same people who installed it when the house was built...) and the unit had long been discontinued since the company that made it (hydro delta) went bankrupt years ago. it was over $15k to put in a new updated unit... luckily my home owners insurance (with the help of a rider i added a year earlier that covered home systems) footed the bill, albeit after a long and arduous battle with the 3rd party shits that state farm outsourced it to. now this new system has a 10 year warranty on parts and labor, otherwise, i would have switched to gas in a heart beat. i can put in a new gas unit every year for 10 years at the same price... so while the geo's monthly electric bill is nice, i wouldn't dare install a new residential build with geo... plus add another easy $50k for the loop field if it's a new install.

i'm afraid what's going to happen once then 10 years are up since that always seems to be about the time major home appliances fail... probably try to move by then so it isn't my problem, lol.

Is privacy possible with smart TV?

I’d like to start a discussion about TV privacy in 2023. I’ve never been interested in having a TV, but recently I was thinking of getting one. Looking into it, the privacy implications seem horrible. All the major brands seem to have cameras, microphones, and content recognition software. I can’t believe how dystopian it...

just wait until "5g" network slicing becomes more of a thing, soon you'll see all these manufacturers putting UE chipsets in them to bypass end user wifi completely... that's really what the commercial IoT vision has been about all along, big data => dangerous (🎵 cool 'indie' music plays 🎵)

meh, it still has some use. my dog tore up the plastic housing on garage door sensors out of boredom and there was no way i was calling a local place to quote out parts for a 14 year old opener... found the same pair of sensors (albeit used) on ebay for $25. a little dog proofing later and bingo bango, back in business. but usually it's my last resort for obscure stuff that i can't find anywhere else and i have to be really desperate.
