didn’t Verizon overbuild most, if not all, of the area with FiOS? not sure how they’re getting away with it in the rural regions unless there are still CLECs operating. All this to say… fiber still has the issue of power outages and nonfunctioning customer backup batteries in the ONTs and I vaguely remember some drama over Verizon not offering replacement batteries or providing backups at all.

I’ll do YOU one better: WHY is @melroy@kbin.melroy.org?

it satisfies the borrow checker or else it gets the hose again

I think you mean McDonnell Douglas, it’s what happens when companies fire all the engineers in charge and replace them with beancounters.

we’re “spread” out on purpose to avoid becoming an unwieldy behemoth like kbin.social…

kbin.run admin here, i’m curious if this cert problem is still happening as i recently loosened up some of my super strict bot killing mechanisms… give it a shot again and DM me if it still doesn’t work so i can try to figure out what’s going on.

as for the name… yea, i should have named it something different. at the time, kbin was the only horse in town and the intent was to help alleviate some traffic from .social before the foundation took over to run it on their cluster… then things fell apart. unfortunately, i can’t rehome it to a new domain because it will break federation of all existing content, accounts, etc.

You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Hip To Be Square”. A song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It’s also a personal statement about the band itself.

when you’re the OS, they let you do it. you can do anything.

@MrKaplan@lemmy.world pointed out that after reviewing the html source there’s a link to this https://github.com/Linuzifer/domain_seizure… looks like a joke or a hack.

it would have been perfection if they had done this last thursday (on 4/04), add another fail to the list.

i’m almost certain there’s a hentai like this

100%, this is a trap being set for retail investors… not touching this even if I had a 1000ft pole.

hi, kbin.run admin here, i wanted to confirm that the 429 and 500s you’re seeing are not on kbin.run but fedia.io? thanks!

@13@kbin.run i’ve created an issue for this bug: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues/487

@13@kbin.run ok, i can replicate it now… its not mercure, but it’s the auto media preview… that thread is trying to load a video that’s not supported. can you disable this in the settings menu (gear icon) and hit the button at the top of the menu to “refresh the page” that should appear? we’ll have to submit an Mbin issue for this…

@13@kbin.run argh, which browser are you using? im on linux, firefox 122.0.1 and it’s not happening. let me ask in the matrix chat with the other devs, this sounds familiar

@13@kbin.run is it still doing it? i just re-enabled server-side push updates (it’s called mercure) that i’ve had disabled for the longest time… the timing seems about right when i was messing around with the configuration.

Haven’t looked up the station’s license to see how much power they could have been pushing, but if I were the “authorities”, I’d definely be checking local hospitals for records of anyone coming in with mild to severe [RF] burns. With [low frequency] AM stations, the tower itself is basically the other half of the antenna electrically… probably lit them up like a Christmas tree.
