What were you up to during the outage?!

    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 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 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.

        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.
