Don’t buy Apple. As simple as that. You know when a company gives you the creeps? That’s how I feel about Apple.

Thank you for the post. I confirm this is definitely a problem.

That amount of stress when you rush a deadline isn’t humane for sure.

One step towards avoiding misuse is to stop considering porn to be misuse.

Not that instance, but Lemmy is missing a lot of moderation and federation tools. Right now you only have sledgehammers to deal with tiny nails, in regards to tooling.

A good decision.

Here it says that this should not be possible in Australia due to the immobilizers.

Maybe some thieves believe all KIAs and Hyundays are targets and eventually some are stolen due to other factors.

It’s worth mentioning that this impacts only US vehicles from those brands.

I heard on the news that no one survived.

Can someone explain what the Intel ME actually does / is? Thank you.

Good point. I think that might be it actually. This could be the reason.

It should be safe as long as you put in a valid timestamp and not some other value. If you run a large instance, then you run the risk of pseudo-DDoSing yourself by sending a large amount of requests to dead servers, but unless you’re a large instance you shouldn’t have to worry about that.

That seems to be the case more or less. In my case times go from 0:00 to 0:25 or so when it finishes.

In theory that’s what Lemmy now does every day, but I have no idea why it fails to update some instances sometimes. Instances which are very much alive at 12AM which is when this gets executed.

Do you know if you had any cronjob running close to 0:00 (server time, possibly UTC) that could have interfered with the validation of dead instances that lemmy now does?

I’m trying to figure out what could have interfered with these checks in the first place.

It only works for new posts. Try creating something new in a community that you know lemmy.world knows about.

Older posts may appear progressively, but there’s no guarantees.

Yes. That should fix it. There is instances that are genuinely down. Later today I’ll try to share a script to detect which ones are down and which aren’t via curl. In our case we had 350+ false positives.

Hey, this happened to us recently. In your database check the table called 'instance ’ and make sure the value for ‘updated’ is less than three days old for lemmy.world

There are false positives regarding the detection of “dead instances” in the latest version of Lemmy and it’s actually your instance that stops sending out messages to lemmy.world

That’s about 200 meters for anyone who doesn’t use feet.

Depends on who owns the network as well and if you’re connected to a corporate VPN. The rule of thumb is that you can’t expect privacy if you’re not the sole admin of that computer.
