Embedded videos finally stop & unload when you close them!

Commenting here due to the timing of the issue: looks like no new posts have come in from federated instances for about 3 hours?

Thanks for reporting that - I am working to fix it - not sure what is going on yet

Ok, I think the problem is fixed now.

Even on local ( see newest posts at /m/test ), images with alt-text (?) seem to trigger an upload failure.

I've also been having trouble with thumbnails not being generated on the lemmy-side of YouTube links I've posted -- which I initially thought was something on YouTube's end (they made some breaking changes recently) but maybe it's related to this instead?

I see a (very handsome, I might add) image from you with alt text there

Hi jerry I'm afraid I'll need to enter your hotel room now and confiscate all your USB drives, because you are clearly using them to hack me

😅 I think I have it fixed now so hopefully no need to go into my safe

The 403 was the planned response when you tried to DM any remote user, because federation of message was just not implemented. With v1.7.0 we implemented it and you will not get a 403 anymore

@jerry Thanks for keeping us updated! Nice to hear

I was wondering why Fedia was 500-ing; thanks for your work!

jerry, to fedia in What actually happens when posting to a microblog?
@jerry@fedia.io avatar

Anyone who follows you across the fediverse can see the post

atro_city,

So people have to explicitly follow me to see the post? It doesn't show up on feed like mastodons?

jerry,
@jerry@fedia.io avatar

It’s more nuanced than that. If they look at your profile from a mastodon/etc instance, they’ll see the post. If they are on an instance that has someone who follows you and watch the federated/globel feed, they’ll see the post. And a few other specific situations.

atro_city,

Thank you for explaining!

Hello. I applied the most recent mbin upgrades, which I believe may fix this. can you try again?

ciferecaNinjo,

It works. Thanks!

Hi. Yes, nearly all the previous issues have been fixed. There are still occasional issues with federation breaking, but I’m working on that.

I will try to reproduce the DM issue between this instance and a lemmy instance. It would not surprising me if that doesn’t work, though.

downvote information can be use retaliatory... its hidden to keep people civil

Beneath_the_storm,

Where there such complaints in kbin? In kbin if they downvoted you usually they would explain their reasoning promoting discussion. Anonymous downvoting creates in my opinion less positive environment for civil growth and discussion.

originalucifer,
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

its been discussed at length. downvote information can be procedurally abused (bots). the same cannot be said for upvotes.

remember we're not building for a specific community, but for an entire ecosystem where there can be bad actors.

You mentioned that fedia has a very small number of active users. Is there a place I can learn more about this? What is large amount, and what do you consider to be active?

jerry,
@jerry@fedia.io avatar

Fedia.io has 422 monthly active users - basically, 422 accounts have logged in within the past 30 days. I suppose I am comparing it to infosec.exchange, which has about 15000 monthly active users. I do believe that fedia.io is the most active mbin or kbin instance, by a factor of 2 or 3, but relatively quiet in comparison to Mastodon and Lemmy.

DarkThoughts, to fedia in Unplanned downtime on Fedia.io

Do those specific servers have any specific hardware that would indicate why they fail so much? Do they cheap out on something?

jerry,
@jerry@fedia.io avatar

Hetzner makes their own servers in a form factor that works for their rack space. There are lots of YouTube videos on that. I don’t know specifically why these are failing, but being an old time engineer and knowing the CPU they are running, I am going to bet it has something to do with cooling. Either the main board is getting too hot (I monitor CPU temp and that seemed fine) or it is related to either vibration from the certainly larger CPU fan it needs, or somehow related to how the CPU impacts the power supply - possibly creating noise that ultimately burns out capacitors or something similar.

jerry, to fedia in Anyone experienced with graphic designing interested in creating a mascot for m/AskMbin (successor to m/AskKbin) and other Mbin communities?
@jerry@fedia.io avatar

Apologies for having registrations closed. The moderation tools in Mbin/kbin are very very basic and I keep experiencing large numbers of spam signups, with no meaningful way to handle them until they sign up and start spamming

TheArstaInventor,
@TheArstaInventor@fedia.io avatar

Hey! Thanks for the response and no worries I figured out spam was likely the reason behind he temporarily closure of new sign up's.

Btw let me know if you are in need of more admins, id gladly contribute to help the server as I have a long experience as mod already on reddit and the fediverse.

jerry, to fedia in Terms of Service needs to be updated? Still says Kbin, when we are using mbin.

I will add that to my to do list
