I have long given up on the thought if getting everyone to accept me. I grew up in texas. I am not trans, but I have chosen to start presenting more feminine.

This will be a very fun christmas when I visit because I have gotten to the point of no longer valuing any of that negativity. It turns out when you are an adult you can just say “that’s a shit opinion you shouldn’t share” and move on!

It’s especially effective if you don’t even let it affect your tone. Being cheerful and being myself seems to infuriate my mother in a way that makes her show her ass, so I’ll just let her do that.

If you give that response, the other commenter vaporizes. Fascinating!

Why is nobody able to admit when someone has a point anymore? Learning and collaboration should be the point of the internet.

But the implementation is often a bit more stable or user friendly. Those features often do not light the world on fire because the user experience is not there yet, and google moves on too fast to finish the feature.

A lot of it comes down to software. I had a cpu performance scaling bug that meant my oneplus 7 pro would occasionally take ~5 seconds after unlock to stop being clocked at 100mhz. It made the unlock experience really laggy and crappy. It felt cheap and lazy.

Exactly. As an iphone user (and linux sysadmin, compartmentalization is not that hard), i agree with your criticisms of apple most of the time. They just make the better phone IMHO, and I say that as a nexus 4, nexus 6p, pixel XL, oneplus 7 pro, and oneplus 9 pro user. Yes i used custom roms, no I do not have the patience to treat my phone as a linux project anymore.

I regularly have android users go out of their way to try and fight me over this, and they always claim I must not have used android. It’s annoying to field over and over.

My hisense google tv connected to an open wifi network and updated without being told to. The update broke CEC and hdmi arc. I cannot adequately express my rage at this moment.

I saw this house if it’s in texas around austin! I was seriously considering using the fridge nook as a little server rack closet by finishing the front and making it extend to the ceiling for a vent.

As the co-owner of another instance, this kind of admin/mod behavior is distressingly common. I get that administration is hard, but I swear a lot of moderators are addicted to the kind of drama they are supposed to be preventing.

If you ever need a bit of a safe haven in the future pawb.social is the instance we run, and having followed your content for quite a while back on risa and now on tenforward I can say nothing you post has ever been a problem with our rules thus far.

I really do hope some of this dies down for your sake!

Actually yes. Recovery was slow and painful, but I have policies in place to handle these failures now. I’m sure we will find another failure mode as we go forward!

Lessons do stick around when you have to learn the hard way!

Correct! to give a bit of background while I wait for backups...

last night we had what appears to be an out of memory error. Our cloudflare tunnels broke around the same time that the internet went out (probably related), and we also didn't have our nodes configured to keep some ram reserved to allow kubernetes to keep running. Additionally, we still only had 1 replica of the data for furry.engineer and pawb.fun that we were still building/downloading from other instances (mostly cached images).

so it was the perfect storm. node 1 runs out of memory and basically crashes, node 2 then tries to pick up the services that are suddenly offline, immediately causing it to run out of memory and crash. There's only one copy of the data, so nothing offline to check for corruption against. all the storage with 2 replicas was unaffected.

I've done an announcement post on the telegram channel to try and keep people appraised, but this restore is going to take another couple hours probably because I'm trying not to repeat my mistakes by setting things to 1 replica or skipping backups for expediency. My impatience pretty directly caused this issue.
