Inside bucket, lights dimmed:

Two figures move in the darkness, getting closer whilst unaware of the meeting fated to take place away from the masses.

They approach... unheard, leaving no sound or evidence.

From beyond, a voice echoes:

"Now kiss!"

    Favorite use of this:

    As Simple bank was being shut down, the sysadmin turning off servers etc replaced the site with the poem.

    While dns forwarded to PNC or whatever, anyone hitting the server directly, a nerd like me for example, would get the poem as the dying breath from a service that had been loved by many.

    "weapon of terror"..... Used an awful lot throughout quotes and bits or the article.

    I thought terror was only something terrorists used?

    Huh. Almost like the current knobs know it's evil and are doing it on purpose.

    Fucking hell.

    Fun story...

    Back in the late 90s, several friends and I were doing the extreme Frisbee thing. An hour or so of just running around like the idiots we were, full tilt.

    We stop and hit up the gas station at the corner. Most of us pick up things like Gatorade or soda etc... Not Dave.

    This legend grabs 2 fucking jugs, about a gallon in total between them, of full fat chocolate milk.

    We get to the check out, pay for the batch. Most of us start drinking right there because we're absurdly thirsty.

    Dave pounds down both jugs immediately... Not even stopping for breath.

    You likely see this coming.... We all did. Slow motion car crash...

    Up it comes without delay. Just 1/2/3...

    Chocolate milk

    Chocolate milk

    ..... Chocolate milk.

    The attendant for the shop got a $150 tip that day.

    Dave was the best.

    PyLova (Python+Pavlova) is a soft fork of PieFed, aimed at improving the user experience through UI overhauls, empowering users and admins with agency, improved administration and moderation functions, and general bug fixing.

    New in V0.3.2

    New & Improved

    • Muffle Users : Instead of outright blocking a user, you can now 'Muffle' them. This will place their content behind a spoiler. This functionality has also been extended to the filter system.
    • Live Posts : Mods can designate a post as a Live Post. A Live Post will continuously update with new posts coming through will sorting by new. This is great for keeping track on currently happening events such as global news or sports.
    • Reel View : This is a new way to browse the site, putting it into 'Reel' view shows one post per scroll. Cuts out the noise, allowing you to appreciate one post at a time.
    • User Flags : Want to show off who you are? Add a flag next to your pronouns. These small flags can be set by instance admins, great show showing Pride Flags, Sports Teams, Nationalities, Political Ideologies, etc.
    • Bookmark Organisation : Users can now sort their bookmarked posts and comments by folders.
    • Admin Notes : Admins and Instance Moderators can share notes about users on their profile page, this can be handy in building a history of bad behaviour or sharing concerns.
    • Account Oversight : Admins and Instance Moderators have greater ability to search through a users upvoted and downvoted content.
    • New Theme : Nocturne Core @luminous5481@anarchist.nexus has wonderfully created a Sci-Fi inspired theme you can apply.

    Bug-Fixes & Misc

    • Lemmy/Mbin support for Multi-Image Posts : Multi-Image Posts will now add the extra images into the post body for users on Lemmy and Mbin so they don't have to miss out on your amazing content.
    • Censorship Transparency : On the instance about page, there is now a one-stop location for viewing what sort of things are being censored by your instance.
    • Options Menu : The menu has been updated with a more navigable UI in 3 Panel Mode.
    • Reactions Only Mode : A small setting for instance admins to 'turn off' up and downvotes, letting posts only have emoji reactions. Note, emoji reacts do technically count as an upvote and this is more of a visual change in regards to user view.
    • Trusted Instances Only Federation : Communities can already be set to local only, this feature allows communities to only be visible on those in your instances trusted list.
    • Banned Users can now unsubscribe from a community, allowing them to remove it from their feed.
    • Blocked/Unfederated Instances now show more information, such as allowing for reasons why it was removed.
    • Poll Post Type teasers had a slight visual inconsistency, their icon should now align properly with every other post type.
    • Flair, Tags, & Live Status all follow the same visual format. Also now visible on post teasers.
    • General Performance Improvements.
    • Code Refactoring to follow a more pythonic style guide and reduce McCabe complexity.
     

    Hola!

    A new fork of piefed called PyLova had started adding quality of life featured, notably multiple images in a post.

    Notably, we started around here to implement the changes for it. https://codeberg.org/quokkau/PyLova/commit/c3da93ee2bcb963c79c8c036821b78716b7c20e1

    I was wondering if this could get in a (would be nice) type list for eventually supporting it.

    Not a priority yet, but wanted to potential get it on your radar. We're looking to try getting other fedi software to mingle with this so hopefully it becomes widespread.

    Still love the work you do. Thank you for working on this

    Ahoy! It would seem that the Hetzner Helsinki Datacenter is having an outage that caught our little corner of the webs...

    Luckily, our backups were updated just before their systems went down, and I was able to spin up a replacement and move DNS over. While things all cleared on my scopes, if you see trouble, please reach out in a DM.

    Alternately, find us via matrix:

    Apologies for the troubles!

    11 year old picture, but still one of my favorites. Ben and Jerry, a father and son pair we got from a rescue. this picture was just a few months after we got them.

    Jerry unfortunately is gone, but Ben still smarts off at us regularly. Hard to believe so much attitude can be in a 1kg little wad of fur.

    Edit: This appears there may be some missing data from our server-side Schema. The Piefed devs have fixed the issue!

    Summit seems back to normal again!

    -- leaving the post up in case others some by to report similar. sorry for the annoyance!

    Greetings,

    Following the update of our Piefed server to v1.2.0 (just released, https://piefed.social/post/1278967 ), it looks like the /api/alpha/ path now returns a 400 error.

    I love your work, and hope this isn't too much trouble to adjust things for.

    In a pinch, feel free to reach out to me if you need an assist from the sysadmin side of things.

    Thanks!
