Thank you for bringing it back online, I was worried it might be down for a while! Welcome back :)
Nice to meet everyone by the way, I’m new to SDF, just getting to grips with stuff.
It wasn’t me (I don’t work for SDF😅)… it was @SDF@lemmy.sdf.org!
I ended up watching some new anime. Ranma ½ (2024) is kind of bonkers, in a fun way.
SDF is a quirky instance, isn't it? It might go down once in a while, but at least to me, it feels more like a community system than some of the bigger instances. I love that it hasn't made Cloudflare an observer and gatekeeper of our Lemmy activities.
Hey, thanks for telling me about the Ranma ½ remake. I loved it as a teenager, looking forward to watch the remake.
It's a top-tier remake. Gorgeous animation and lovingly faithful
Yep. Watched a few episodes. It's great.
In that case, I think you'll appreciate the voice cast in this new adaptation.
Love it.
HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN
Just finished chanting "S.D.F. come back" while kneeling inside a pentagram surrounded by stickers and magnetic tapes. Pretty good overall.
I smoked a pack of these in anticipation:
Thank you for your service 🫡
That picture always reminds me of a SysAdmin that I worked with a while back at a DC. He was an old school Perl and BSD guy and always smoked unfiltered rollies.
a pentagram
Oh! That's why. It's SDF, not your neighborhood technodemons. Should have been a bigram, so that the machine spirits could understand without converting numerical bases.
But were they MATA stickers?
of course not https://sdf.org/store/
I listened to my intrusive thoughts and filled a cheap fountain pen with (dye-based) printer ink.
I hoped for the darkest black, but it actually looks gray when used with a pen :(
But yeah, it works. It feathers and bleeds through a lot on cheap paper, but it works. By that I mean that it bleeds even through 120g/m^2^ printer paper. Maybe I could try drying it a bit first...
Might look good with cyan.
Oh no. Now I'm thinking about whether I can make fountain pen ink work in my ecotank printer.
I doubt it.
Although, I guess ecotank will have piezoelectric nozzles since they're permanent, so there shouldn't be a problem with how it behaves under heat, but viscosity (if that's the right word) and particle size...
Sounds like a bad idea.
Probably a terrible idea. I do also have a sacrificial HP in the garage to rip apart and try to implement a FOSS/OSHW controller for at some point. Maybe I'll try with that eventually, supposing I can hack together a nozzle.
Sleeping
I suppose the server has to catch up now, right? There seems to be plenty of stale discussions.
Less than 0... how?
no idea, but at the current progression youre lookin at >10hrs to achieve sync
I give it 7 days as usual to stabilize.
Yeah, the newest thing I can see was 14 hours ago
Welcome back, sdf family!
Glad I didn't notice. Welcome back, all.
Since I didn't have unix_surrealism posts I had to rely on my downloaded collection of Unix surrealism.
Waiting for it to come back lol. Was this scheduled or is something going on?
I couldn’t tell you because I don’t know, lol🤷♂️.
I was just on my backup account on .ml There's some commandline tool i use to sync my subs between the two that runs on my server whenever i do monthly update/backup
That’s a cool idea… I should steal that! What’s the tool that you use?
Nice! Thanks!
I went to my backup instance. Now I'll be on two for a bit I guess - I wouldn't want to leave anyone hanging.
I have decided that now is the time, finally, to read those Buffy and Angel comics.
Nice!
Mostly sleeping, handily.
Snuggles and kisses 😘
It seems to be lagging behind by hours.
For instance, this thread on lemmy.world shows 5 comments and 56 upvotes, while the same thread on lemmy.sdf.org has 3 comments and 24 upvotes only. And the weird thing is, I posted this thread from lemmy.sdf.org, as well as one of the comments, and outgoing is instantaneous. It's just incoming comments and votes that don't seem to come through.
I knew something was up as soon as I couldn't vote on anything. Good to be back.
