I’m getting this too, as well as some image posts occasionally not federating, and lots of error messages about “voting failed”, “failed to mark as read”, etc.
I know there were some expected temporary performance issues after switching hosts, but would that still be happening a week or so later?
Some of the image stuff for me is just my device caching urls that change, but I don’t know why so many urls are changing
I’m not getting the failed to vote thing, but maybe that’s because you are using startrek.website as your instance instead of another; probably just timing out because whenever I pull up the site it is always a bit slow to load
Yeah, all I can tell is that the url of the file on the server seems to be changing and devices are caching the old url. Using a different image hosting service like imgflip/catbox.moe/selfhosted image server for the image uploads would probably solve that problem, but that’s pretty much the extent of my knowledge
Nah, posting Star Trek memes is like therapy or meditation, it centers you. A problem would be spending four and a half hours troubleshooting gif/webp compatibility for Lemmy-UI while having things to do and in the end getting neither done.
If you’re using Ublock Origin, disable that for your home lemmy instance.
I have a custom rule you can add to prevent that from happening (in lieu of disabling UBO), but it’s on my other computer. I can update post with that later.
Even more curious is when I view the post on lemm.ee, since if I open the image in a new tab by clicking on the image, it pulls up the actual image but when clicking on the link to the image under the title it goes to the same wrong URL that my instance has
Mass Effect is pretty top tier for me too. I know you said Trek-like but Star Trek Bridge Crew is a ton of fun. Or at least it was. Number of players has ramped down significantly after Ubisoft dropped support.
This is significant, but probably not quite as significant as it would seem at first glance, if indeed the contracts are merely suspended and their terms will be extended once they resume.
On the other hand, it’s nice that the studios have dropped their “the strikes are saving us money” bullshit.
(the links atm go to ~3 days ago when maintenance happened but ofc will start to drift as more posts are made)
You can see the thumbnails disappear exactly at the mark of the maintenance and ever since then they're gone. If you see thumbnails after that, they're usually wrong ones that are being loaded from different posts (there's a separate issue in for that now). I was wondering if you were aware of any issues or changes that happened because of this maintenance that would prevent kbin instances from fetching thumbnails? I've raised this in the kbin matrix chat as well
Just to follow up on this, contributors to kbin investigated and found that startrek.website appears to block user agents that contain "curl" in it now.
works. kbin apparently sends User-Agent: Symfony HttpClient (Curl) in its requests for images, which is different than how it handles other fetch requests. they've made a PR to change kbin to send the user agent it uses elsewhere in those image requests https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/1098 once that is approved / merged they should start working again as instances update. It'd be nice if, assuming this is all accurate, the block on curl could be removed so people don't have to wait for the PR / instances to update but I understand if that is difficult
So, setting aside things like the episode count being off by two, Swapna Krishna is a freelancer, not a BBC employee, and is pretty prominent in the Trek space, and in fact has multiple bylines at startrek.com.
All the more reason not to perpetuate a question on which the IP owner has a settled position. It wasn’t neutral.
I get that BBC has engaged an expert from the community, but in such a case the expert is under all the greater responsibility to ensure their neutrality. This isn’t presented as an opinion or perspective piece the way it might have been on the official site.
Had they written that there has been a long debate about TAS status, in part due to documentable statements by and those attributed to Roddenberry by his representative (I.e. Richard Arnold), and that there continues to be many fans that have reservations about its canonicity, that would be factual and neutral. This isn’t.
