Yeah I'm seeing it struggle a lot the past few days

Hmm, sorry no idea what might have caused that.

I realize I should only be getting the initial reply. I have checked my read notifications, there is nothing.

Well, you should be getting only notifications for direct replies, not all comments. Have you checked your read notifications if the ones you think are missing show up there?

just an FYI it was down for me for quite some hours, had to use my alt on .world ;)

Just installed and testing it out, super cool!

I've started browsing slrpnk.net with a terminal based Lemmy/Discourse/HN/Etc client called Neon Modem Overdrive (yes really). If you can see this then commenting works too.

It's noticeably faster than using the website, presumably because it's using the API when I browse rather than having to render HTML and push that all the way to Australia for every post. Hopefully it's less pressure on the server side too.

yeah, exactly. and it's done in a way makes it feel like a large-scale gaslighting campaign. "the fake thing is real but the real thing is fake".

Thanks for checking!

I have not noticed a change with the search.

And no, we are still using Lemmy. We are currently waiting for the Lemmy 1.0 release and will re-evaluate the plans for moving to Piefed after upgrading to that, but at least some of the technical issue we have had with Lemmy have been solved and/or will be solved in v1.0.

Having human-made content called AI generated is more disheartening to artists than seeing actual AI slop. It tells you the battle will never be won.

Thank you for another month in this wonderful platform.

A small question, I noticed that the search is better. Is this a Lemmy update or have we moved to piefed and I missed the update?

I can look in the server logs, but when I woke up it was working, so no real idea.

Edit: looks like the ISP is doing some maintenance on the connection today. There was another brief outage just now.

What happened earlier today? Slrpnk.net was unavailable?

Good stuff ^^

I have not tried Fidus Writer, but it also seems like "overkill" as a LibreOffice Writer replacement with online collaborative editing rather than a simple Etherpad alternative. That said, it's AGPL 3.0, so it wouldn't hurt to install it and let people test it out for a while.

This looks great! Going to use it for now. I’ll keep an eye out for photos of ancient artifacts that might be good candidates too.

I took a quick jab at it in Krita using a public domain picture of some broken pottery, laid down a solarpunk logo over it, then used a rough shaped stamp tool with eraser mode on (reduced opacity) plus some added shading over some of the darker grooves in the pottery so it kinda blends in a bit better. It was just a quick and dirty attempt, and I'm not sure how well it'll show up as a smaller icon (might wanna crop it closer if it's a bit too indistinct).

Please don't feel obligated to use it if you had something else in mind or find something you like better (such as some actual ancient art like poVoq suggested, which is often super rad, and certainly better than my attempt) :)

Base images used:

The pottery

The solarpunk logo

Ancient history kinda requires an (public domain) example of ancient art, no?

I think there is little hope reforming huge hospitals from within, but have you looked into mobile clinics and such? I think there are examples of them being operated by local NGOs to help disadvantaged rural communities or maybe seasonal migrant labour?

I mostly know concepts like that from emergency response though. Like they are relatively common in Ukraine. Most are small and only do basic care and referrals, but you can find larger examples like the mobile field hospital the Red Cross is operating in Gaza.

That pic reminds me of a post I made a while back hoping to brainstorm ways to nudge modern healthcare toward the solarpunk mentality. What we have now, especially in the big-hospital setting like where I work, seems so hopelessly incompatible with solarpunk, which still kinda drives me nuts.

Revisiting that thread, it looks like it got more attention than I realized, but still not much I can act on or forward along to others with some actual authority (of which, I don't really have squat).

Anywho, relinking it here just incase someone more creative than me stumbles across it - always looking for new improvements!

I'm really loving the art for these posts. And this one has a coloring page?! You guys kill me with awesomeness!

Ahhh, why didn't I think of that, thanks! 😸

Oh, the photon one is very nice, thanks!

Hey, this is the art I borrowed my PFP from! Love how it captures the concept of mutual aid and the ways that communities overcome disaster and misfortune through cooperation, far more common than successfully making it through on "rugged individualism."
