yeah, the pict-rs service needed to be restarted it looks like. That just happened a few moments ago, and i think things are looking good from my side.
at the end of the day, the issue is the pict-rs service (which is separate from lemmy) isnt…the greatest.
- Comment on Issues uploading/loading images 5 weeks ago:
i did a little testing after i noticed that local communities had the missing image placeholder; It looks like i was unable to upload any images, so i opened a ticket with the host; I would presume the pict-rs service is having issues again.
- Comment on Issues uploading/loading images 5 weeks ago:
I’m not seeing any issues…Can you try clearing your browser cache, or maybe open in an incognito tab?
What problems are you seeing? the same missing image thumbnail?
- Comment on Issues uploading/loading images 1 month ago:
is it? it currently looks fine to me. maybe it was just a blip? are you still seeing issues?
- Comment on Issues uploading/loading images 1 month ago:
Yeah, maybe there were some federation issues or something with a particular instance or two. I think Lemmy reaches out on demand to cache the thumbnail the first time it’s requested, but posts get federated over independently.
So if no one has viewed a post in the UI that’s been federated over, and the instance and ours developed communication issues between then, it’s possible that it fails to grab the thumbnail when someone is browsing in the UI
- Comment on Issues uploading/loading images 1 month ago:
I’m not seeing that, I appear to see thumbnails and previews. Is this still happening for you? It could be having issues with specific instances if there’s federation issues
- Comment on Issues uploading/loading images 2 months ago:
yeah, i think that’s actually a setting on the lemmy side, you can restrict the size of uploads to prevent abuse and such. We’re using whatever the default is, i’ve never changed it.

- Comment on Traveller / Cepheus Engine? 4 months ago:
Might be worth starting in c/RPG with basic questions, and if they end up drumming up a lot of conversation maybe a community is warranted? I know traveller has been around a long time, but I don’t ever hear too much about it so I’d guess the community for it is pretty niche
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
Yeah, I don’t think there’s any way to report communities, just users and messages
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
Nope, definitely not. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. FYI, the reports came through a little weird (since it’s about a community) and I accidentally hit ban on your account, but I’ve rescinded it (also on mobile so the interface was a bit different)
- Comment on Does alcohol expire? Specifically whiskey? 6 months ago:
You’ve obviously gotten the base level answer, but to add some color here - certain types of food, such as dried pasta, rice, beans, grains, high proof alcohol, vinegars, and basically anything frozen to name a few, never spoil in the sense that they’re unsafe to eat.
Flavor, however, is an entirely different matter. Just ask anyone who has eaten freezer burnt food.
Pretty much any high proof alcohol will fall into this category. And, if it’s unopened, it should retain most of its flavor for a very long time. Once opened, however, it can deteriorate relatively quickly, depending on how it was stored.
- Comment on Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its users 7 months ago:
yeah, its hard to predict what will happen to it, especially after gabe steps down or dies, but depending on how much of the company is broadly owned by employees vs individuals, it can help to shield it from bad decisions. Unfortunately, we don’t know the exact numbers. If gabe + mike own 51+% then it could potentially lead to overriding employee will in a bad decision for money (either through their actions or through inheritance like you say). Or the employees could just collectively make a bad decision too.
- Comment on Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its users 7 months ago:
AFAIK, most of valve’s stock is held by employees, not private investors. It’s usually a pretty hard sell of “make the company you work at shittier to make more money”, especially since most of the employees probably know gabe personally (valve has less than 400 employees) and likely approve of his leadership.

People frequently make demakes with pico-8
- Comment on Let's discuss: Earthbound / Mother 11 months ago:
Earthbound is eternally on my list of games i play through every couple of years. Its such a great game. Some aspects of it are a tad clunky by modern sensibilities (inventory management, going through the menus for a lot of things, etc.), but overall it holds up really well. Also if you liked earthbound, mother 3 is also 100% worth playing. Mother 1 (or beginnings, or whatever you wanna call it), is hard to recommend to anyone but the most diehard fans, though.
I like earthbound the most of all of em, but thats purely for nostalgia reasons. From a critical perspective, i think mother 3 is the superior game.

whenever you start a game, there’s always a phantom player 2 that joins, and it absolutely wrecks the hardest difficulty

You missed our, bro. It was you from the future calling to warn you of your dire fate and how to avoid it.

pretty sure theyre talking about the show runners, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the same people who ran (and messed up) game of thrones.
- Comment on Lemmy updated to 19.2 1 year ago:
Glad to hear you like it! Most of the praise should go to Mike shea (aka sky flourish) for maintaining the list though. He occasionally posts here but is far more active on mastodon (chirp.enworld.org/@slyflourish)
- Comment on Lemmy updated to 19.2 1 year ago:
Should be fixed now. The library i was using broke on the 19.2 update, so i had to go find a new one. It was just one of those “need to find time to do it” things. Should see things start trickling in over the next day or so.
- Comment on You know how bad it needs to be to be ignored for over 2 decades! 1 year ago:
It’s probably still perfectly safe to eat. It likely just tastes like hot garbage. Frozen food doesn’t technically expire, it just slowly gets more and more freezer burnt that degrades the quality and taste. It remains perfectly safe to eat indefinitely, however.
- Comment on Lemmy updated to 19.2 1 year ago:
yeah, unfortunately it’s hard to get the message across when people can’t access the site because of the issues.

- Comment on People who dont particularly care for or celebrate Christmas, Whats your favorite Christmas song? 1 year ago:
I’ve always thought it sounds like a horror song as well, which is why my favorite version is by the Lovecraft historical society: Carol of the old ones
