What were you up to during the outage?!
Since I didn’t have unix_surrealism posts I had to rely on my downloaded collection of Unix surrealism.
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 went to my backup instance. Now I’ll be on two for a bit I guess - I wouldn’t want to leave anyone hanging.
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.
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/m2 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.
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 🫡
But were they MATA stickers?
of course not https://sdf.org/store/
