Poor li’l blighter got attacked by a bin chick’n and was limping away last we saw em… after goin’ the bin juice drinkin’ irrit of course.

Apparently I was wrong, it’s decided it’s done and working again now.

The pict-rs upgrade is ongoing.

From what I can tell it’ll be about another 5 hours. I’m going to have to go to bed and check on it in the morning.

Unfortunately the stock-standard lemmy-ui doesn’t like it that pict-rs is migrating to a new version of database and not serving images, so it’s stubbornly just not working at all.

Our best haj, Shonky (they/them) is available now, over at their own Github repository for use when referring to Blåhaj Lemmy.

I’m guessing we’ll need them to make an appearance for the Canvas template.

Not that I am aware of, and not that it’s not possible, but the protocols are quite different, the Lemmy API, the Misskey API (with various dialects for Sharkey, Iceshrimp and Firefish) and the Mastodon API (with Akkoma, Pleroma, etc) are all very different from each other and even making a third party UI that completely understands and implements a single API / dialect is an enormous undertaking.

I think it’s because a lot of her fans were like “hang on, she’s just misunderstood, she’s not really transphobic, just doesn’t want those fake transes going into women’s spaces”, and Rowling kept it pretty vague, open for misinterpretation, not really ever able to be pinned down as actually being provably transphobic in the minds of many.

But something happened recently and it tipped her over the edge, from keeping her donations low key and her transphobia aimed at the theoretical “not really a woman ‘trans-identified-male’ boogeyman-woman” (who doesn’t really exist), to outright making open donations to anti-trans groups and attacking real trans women.

All the sudden her supporters are like… Wait, this is not who we thought you meant… Where are these scary men? The ones invading women’s spaces that you were talking about?

Wow, okay that’s weird. It’s doing it for me too, must be some debugging option

I’ve been using alexandrite and haven’t noticed.

I’ll take a look tonight.

For a desktop client, it actually works pretty nice on mobile too.

okay, i’ll take a look… probably something to do with the media proxy or the pictrs config.

Yeah, you just need to login again and put in your totp code this time. Kinda annoying that it doesn’t provide a field for your totp code on the first page.

I also agree.

While I couldn’t care less (it’s their body and bodily autonomy is super important to me), I’d be a little hurt if they didn’t tell me about it.

In that case I’d be more interested in talking to my partner to try and understand why they felt that they couldn’t talk to me about it and needed to keep it a secret.

I asked my AI and that was its thought also.

So I’ve completed migration of the pict-rs server to our new infrastructure. I’m not sure what the issue was you were having, as I am unable to replicate.

Based on the father ambiguous error message, I presume it was returning a “Request timed out” or something.

Anyhow, after the migration, I’d be interested if you still see errors. Let me know.

Migration has been completed!

Fixed!

Okay, the new media cache server was locked up. Fixed the code and redeployed it. Images should come good after a page reload.

I would suggest getting 'Nutter to drive us in, but it’s going to be hectic out there, and ze doesn’t really like too much traffic.

You are super welcome, lovely.

It brings Ada and I a whole heap of pleasure running these instances and it’s largely knowing that we’re making a difference to our users, and providing a safe space for you all to grow and flourish that makes it all worth it for us.

I have been watching my love tie herself in knots over the last several days, having to deal with the drama that has been brought on, trying her best to bring everyone back together.

There’s been bad behaviour from both sides, and I’m really disappointed to see that some of the worst of it came from our users, who didn’t keep to the moral high ground, disregarded our instance rules and stoopped to levels of behaviour worse than that leveled against them.

There have been accusations against us (or Ada specifically) that we are a safe harbour for bad behaviour and cause harm to trans people through our inaction.

This is perhaps the cruelest accusation they could have leveled at Ada, as she works tirelessly to maintain a safe space for our community, and while I was hoping, for all the effort that she was investing into this issue, that she could make it work despite my own reservations, this last attack on her impeccable morality has made me very angry.

I’m sorry for those that wanted to remain federated, sorry that it came to this, but I am glad it’s over now, purely for the mental health of my precious beloved.
