/c/café daily chat thread for 25 June 2023

System rebooted after running tests and doing a backup, and yep, that solved both issues! Ahhh the frontpage looks so much better.

That was a tiny bit nerve-racking lol. I'm in tech but don't usually deal with production systems in my line of work.

Probably the websocket handling having weird behaviour. Things should get better once we can get the 0.18.1 update

Had 2 cups!! :D

fuhhh jeles. perfect for our hot days nowadays
help me drink another cup 🙈
No way, where is this truck? Too bad I'm all dead from yesterday. Basically fly everywhere for one whole day lol
- There's an event at my workplace today,it was defo worth all that sweat and standing for 2 cups of Milo from Milo van!

lemmy 0.18.0 was released 2 days ago, but without captcha support.

so @dcx@monyet.cc @Naomikho@monyet.cc you all might want to wait for the next release before upgrading.

however, the latest jerboa 0.0.35-alpha seems to have a hard requirement on lemmy 0.18, so jerboa users may also have to hold off upgrading this app if the admins decide not to upgrade lemmy yet.

Whoa so many great changes! Sadly we'll have to wait for 0.18.1 for captcha support. I'm surprised they chose to rely on websocket in the first place though, because the standard is always using http requests. There are certain stuff that would need a websocket, but that doesn't mean the whole system should rely on it. Using websocket creates a lot load
Too bad. They get rid of websocket which is pretty much a troublemaker for the ui, and also custom emoji!? 😮

Thanks for the heads up!

fediverse politics and function is...a headache. luckily since dcx set up this server and stand on its own and mostly unaffected by what happening outside...mostly.

Hahaha welcome to fediverse - this is a reboot of nov 2022 but more energetic. At least that discussion seems to be lightspeed ahead. Anyway, you're right - small, midsized instances are the way to go. More focused = less headache in at least trying to manage a community, among other things

Harlow - decided to make a monyet.cc account as backup, like today. This chat thread didn't federate 🙈

Hello, new member need to pay toll
- Alamak what's the toll?
Yup, had the same problem.

for ~~chaos~~ fun!

Ooo, what is that?
Looks like PornHub for cats 🤣

Never would have thought that I would be having a dream of an original song created. It's definitely new and not put there in real world. Beats are pretty good, lyrics a bit on the cheesier side. Too bad it's just a dream so can't remember properly the beats and lyrics.

Noticed stormy001's were all downvoted. Seems like his hater is allowing stormy to live rent free in their head.

I remember cendawanita said we can take a peek on who upvoted and who downvote over at kbin, too bad kbin is currently down. Will check later.

Edit: Hmm,doesn't seems to work on downvote :/
- Gimme which posts to look at (that's not this thread, since didn't federate). Sometimes the downvotes don't travel also but I'll take a look
I can try checking if there's such data storeed somewhere later, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to find it.
- Update on downvotes: The data is stored in the database, but there's probably reasons(which I can understand) why they don't have this as a thing on Lemmy.

Played Project Zomboid before sleep, and the result is a very stressful sleep because i dream about zombie apocalypse

😩

omg another project zomboid player!! :o

planning on buying the game soon after my finals in college, is it that scary to give nightmares? [also i hope you sleep better after this, stressful dreams suck]
- It's just stressful because a tiny mistake can end the game 😩
  
  Also pretty scary 🙈
get chase? lol
- Git rek both in game and in dream

I want to write a post about a major scam in Malaysia, where should it go? I'm a bit confused.

hmm, what industry does it relate to? if no community fit in that, perhaps just do it in cafe, that one is anything goes
- Alternate medicine and cult gurus. I'll post it in cafe.

greetings just woke up....good ol Sunday

As my mum would say "yit tau sai sifat jor"

Literal translation: "Sun shining on your buttock edi"

Hmm is it just me, or is there something wrong with our front page?

Some of the stories on my Active view are as much as four days old, even though there are tons of posts in New (and most of my Active is 2-4 days old)
The sitewide users per week and month seem to be stuck at 67, but I know for a fact there have been new active users. E.g. yesterday I had a comment thread with someone who registered a new account just 20 mins ago and commented, and the number didn't change in that time.
If others are seeing this too, I might try doing a reboot or something.

i just switch it to "hot"
- Hot and active is the same for me.
Yep. It doesn't seems to update and i think i raised the issue yesterday.

Sidenote: might wanna have a place to lodge complain, probably place it under announcement
- Okay. I'll do some safety tests and then try a reboot in maybe an hour or two. Thanks!
This is a known bug in 0.17.x.
The new version 0.18 just released a couple of days ago supposedly fixed the issues but they removed captchas, which will be readded in 18.1.

I suggest we wait for the update with the captcha.
- Oh, thanks for letting me know!
  
  Hmm the other option would be to upgrade and temporarily require email signups until 0.18.1 drops. I'm suspicious about whether email is properly configured though - will try that route too.

Anyone who does handicrafts/crafts and is on Fedi (or would like to join that instance)? The admin is looking for someone from our timezone to help jaga mod duties while they're asleep.

Can check out the local feed also to see the vibe: https://handmade.social/public/local

Meeting a friend tomorrow and he owes me money, so nyets, how do you ask a person to pay you back without being too abrasive? This person owes me decent amount of money for a while already

Just like the other comment, just be straight with it. Maybe can tell you needed the money for something if you feel too shy.
