I'm slowly catching up with backlog tasks and cleaning up instances, but there's still quite a bit to do. Day by day, I'm managing to work longer hours, but I still need some time to ramp up the intensity of work.

I'm feeling a bit better. Starting today, I'll be returning to work as much as possible. This week will likely be spent catching up on tasks, replying to emails, reading overdue comments, etc. I also need to work with Piotr on instance infrastructure. I'll be more actively handling spam as well, but it's clear that we need...
That's great Ernest. Good to read you're going to delegate admin tasks. I'm ready to help as you know. There's a question on the matrix about unusual activity, maybe you can have someone look at that. Stay strong!
I check in here quite often, but for now, I'm just focusing on clearing spam and keeping the instance alive. In January, I was working on the AP module, and there has been significant progress in the work, which hasn't been publicly published yet. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the year, I developed a skin condition that...
He may well be referring to my posts and the chaos that ensued in the comments thereof. You have a valid point. However, Ernest's communication has up to now not been very consistent, both timing and content wise. It makes sense he hasn't given updates, for the time being, as he didn't have any real improvements to announce, unlike this one, to prevent another escalation. Not the best strategy, but given the odds of a similar situation arising again, understandable. You are already part of a similar discussion it would have started and it would have been over nothing. At least now he had some (good) news to announce. I would not likely have responded though, I haven't really paid much attention since the last time. Once again I was attracted by the notification of a message, on matrix this time, leading me to have a look at what's going on. I am saying this because some people were convinced I was stalking and harassing Ernest last time, to give you an impression of what chaos he is likely referring to. Of course odds are something would have triggered my attention and I would have, as I said I won't be silenced. But other people have taken the lead this time.
Let's hope Ernest really is doing better and will do as he says, so we can forget about the past.
Currently I wouldn't count on it as for as long as there is no activity on codeberg, looking at it in general is a waste of time. If you find an issue on both Kbin and Mbin and are convinced it is the same issue, it's definitely worth reporting on both.
This month, I managed to wrap up many overdue matters. It seems to me that I responded to the majority of lingering emails, and a few issues turned out to be so important that they took a few extra days. I also dealt with [a certain aspect related to the project, about which I'll be able to share more in a few weeks....
I see a lot about source codes being leaked and I’m wondering how it that you could make something like an exact replica of Super Mario Bros without the source code or how you can’t take the finished product and run it back through the compilation software?
Not completely random, every noun/verb would be translatable to a specific word/name. But also characters, there'd be many characters whose names, intentions and goals, relationships/links would also be in the same unreadable state. The storyline would likely not be chronological, but several actions and decisions by all kinds of actors would intertwine. It would be very hard to translate into a readable story, let alone so that it makes sense
Well then. I don't know what happened here. I was asked about this situation so I linked here, to find, to my surprise, that my final comment is missing.
This is a month ago now and I don't want to continue the thread, but also do not like my comments going missing. So here is my response to the above
I understand your response, if I would stumble across this just new I'd respond the same.
This situation had been going on for months and this was in fact the first time ever that Ernest has properly responded to a message, anywhere, from anyone, since he went silent. So I took this opportunity to ask questions and get answers from him. A lot of people had already given up or lost interest, but I wanted to know for sure.
I was undecided up to now, but have always expressed my serious doubts about whether a person like him is suitable as a leader of a project like this. Not because of his personality, I am sure he's an awesome guy, but because of his lack of professionalism when things go wrong. Don't get me wrong, I felt very sorry for him all along, he was in a terrible position, no doubt about that and as I've said before I fully sympathize with him. But he should not have dragged the project and its community down with him. I'm glad he's climbing back up again and with him his loyal supporters.
What this entire roller-coaster ride, including this thread, has demonstrated to me over the past few months is, sadly, that should something go wrong again, it will very likely happen in the exact same way.
That for me removes all doubt; I conclude that he is not a suitable leader. I am sorry to say it but it's the way it is.
There is no grievance, but if this all sounds like waa waa babies to you I can fully understand. People were not pleased by the bad code being planted so that kind of set the tone and I understand I sounded like I was trying to make him sound bad. Everything I've said to and/or asked about him is based on reality, however.
It makes sense to me it came across as reactionary, but it's done now. A lot was cleared up for me, all doubt has been removed. Let's all move on with whichever version we prefer and make this great project better than ever
I'd like to do a poll in a magazine, basically like they are on reddit. But better of course, not limited to 6 entries and maybe even have links or pictures in the entries....
I noticed I submitted this question 4 times. Once from another instance. My apologies. I have removed all duplicates. The reason for this is that after placing the thread, I got an error message and was under the assumption that posting the thread had failed.
I would like more information, please. if I am running software on a public server which breaches any license or law I would like to at least be made aware of that
Dear subscribers, I'd like to kindly ask you to unsubscribe from this magazine and check out the active magazine, which is linked to the official rimworld.gallery kbin instance. The one you're looking at now is local to this instance and not shared anywhere. It was made by me to see if kbin is a suitabe alternative to Reddit. Which is certainly is.
You are the first person in over 4 years to make a point of that. It's based on /r/earthporn & /r/mapporn. I'd reccomend not linking renders to your grandma or boss :)
@tchambers this question is for everyone, I am tagging the owner as it may concern you as well. I have a few questions.
First of all, this is looking great and I can imagine this platform is under a lot of stress due to the mass migration form Reddit. Keep up the good work!
-Will it be possible to set the add type to photo only for /m/RimWorldPorn
-What is the maximum allowed filesize/resolution?
-I have almost 1000 renders on /r/reddit. Can those all be posted on /m/RimWorldPorn? (I have them stored locally)
-Less important: would it be possible to use square thumbnails?
Yes I was going to say this, it doesn't quite suit the needs of RimWorldPorn but does look like a great imgur alternative @LollerCorleone
I would like to note that it did not like me signing up from firefox, then verifying my username using chrome. It would not let me in until I tried signing in from chrome and then verifying again. I recommend passing this on to the devs as this will likely be too complicated for a lot of users.

Why can't code be uncompiled?

Just a tiny one to start with: could you add a css ID to the thumbnails so we can change the size?
