knoland,

The lengths Americans will go to to not build trains is astounding.

knoland,

America has one of the worst run freight rail networks in the world. Plighted by decades of deferred maintenance and destruction of existing infrastructure in service of the all mighty operating ratio.

Amtrak would be far more reliable without the American freight rail industry clogging up the lines with massive super trains and refusal to make capital improvements to the network.

Other countries mange this with proper clothing and a variety of alternative public transit options.

Rain Capes are a popular solution for rainy weather when cycling.

Or you chose to avoid the bike that day and take the bus/streetcar/metro/etc.

I live in NYC and by far my favorite aspect is being able to decide between a variety for transit options that best suit the specific trip I’m making. For example, I typically commute by bike, but if it’s raining I can easily switch that trip to be on the subway.

Is there any one else who feels like their life has been disrupted by this whole debacle with Reddit.

I really do like KBin and Lemmy and the fediverse on the whole, but development is still young and the userbase still growing. KBin is still basically early access, and Lemmy is buggy. I spent alot of time in reddit and I'm feeling the pain of trying to ween myself from it. Just wanted to here community perspectives and see how...

knoland,

No. Reddit had turned into doomscrolling for me instead of a place I enjoyed spending time. I would find myself feeling worse after having browsed reddit, not better.

Switching to KBin has totally changed that, it's more like a forum I go to see stuff and chat with people instead of a hellscape of depressing news and vitriol. I do not miss reddit in the slightest and I can live without the one or two communities there I actually participated in.

knoland,

Absolutely counts in my opinion. I love that game, perfect snackable length too.

Anyone got similar recommendations? I don’t have that much time for 60-100 hours epic games these days, and loved strays world and length.

knoland,

It absolutely does. Just not in suburbia where a lot of Americans live.

knoland,

This waste is also present in traditional injection molding in the form of sprues, runners, and gates (probably less, though it depends on the site specifics).

knoland,

I’m at Cannes Lions rn. There’s a ton of of the Reddit marketing team here overhearing their conversations with advertisers.

Lemme tell you, that place was doomed to start with.

knoland, (edited )

They just have no idea what value the site brings to their actual users.

Essentially, pushing a Reddit as a recommendation engine for “organic brand evangelists” instead of organic community communication.

I’m gonna swing by their booth tomorrow and report back.

knoland,

This is the solution. With enough small instances, not only do we provide a wide range of options to users, but we also distribute the hosting costs across the community.

knoland,

Admins almost certainty have database access.

knoland,

To clarify, by "admin" I mean the owner of the instance server, not necessarily people being granted admin privileges.

Point is they are not private.

/kbin contribution and information for instance owners

The search form has been fixed (if you were experiencing this issue). This time, the Docker recreate may take a bit longer. Moving forward, when making changes, I will create pull requests like everyone else and ask for your review. Sorry for the inconvenience. Soon, the first tagged release will also be available. It's time to...

knoland,

Are there other maintainers charged with reviewing and merging code or just @ernest?

knoland,

The real benefit as I see it for using rust for backends is memory safety.

knoland,

Cross-posting my comment:

This is one of my largest frustrations with the open source community. Everything is immediately assumed as malicious. There is no escalation, it's "you screwed me over" from the jump.

I suppose it's bred from decades of large corporations pilfering open source for profit. However, this post could easily have been, "I noticed there's some code I wrote that wasn't attributed, would you mind adding that?". Escalate from there if the appropriate actions aren't taken.

knoland, (edited )

In LitigousEmma's defense, kbin did not comply with the license terms of the open source software, so there is a valid concern here. Unlike most programming languages which are often released under licenses which do not requite attribution.

However, mistakes happen. The open source community is better off if we could all just start from 0 and escalate based on response.

knoland,

I don't have any issue with opening an issue in the repo, that part seems reasonable. It, by definition, is an issue with the codebase.

knoland,

A domain registrar needs to do one thing, point to name servers. In that regard they’re all the same. Personally I just use Route53 unless the TLD is not suported, in which case I just point the domain nameservers Route53.

knoland,

Why even go back? Kbin was kinda dead a week ago which sucked, but I have no loyalty to Reddit.

  • knoland,

    NYC usually has pretty good air quality on average for a city this size.

    Checkout Paris if you wanna see a rough AQI.

    knoland,

    Here in NYC, all weekday rides are 5:30am - 7:30am before the park gets crowded.

    Are you using Wayland? What has your experience been like so far?

    I took Plasma's Wayland session for a spin a few months back but it had too many small annoyances for me to daily drive so I switched back to X11. However, now I started noticing horrible screen tearing in Flatpak applications and lo and behold, as soon as I switched to Wayland they disappeared. It's really frustrating because...

    knoland,

    Same here, zero problems in wayland.

    Certainly far fewer than trying to do hidpi multi-monitor in x11.
