Seriously. Lemmy is kinda gross with this stuff.

This change is shit but I'm not a fan of personal attacks on the guy.

CTA plans 24-hour service on Orange Line to Midway, thanks to mass transit bailout

Nebula is the only thing remotely comparable.

I'm loving it. But its not a "search what you want and you'll find it" like YouTube is. You can't search for a video to DIY your bathroom tile.

That alternative simply doesn't exist.

If you treat it like podcasts i.e. follow creators you like (just about all of them are also YouTubers) theres some excellent content there. And the creators are all stakeholders so no daddy capitalist screwing with algorithms.

PeerTube is the open source federated one. But discovery is next to impossible on it.

Public transportation does this too and isn't controlled by some company trying to make graphs go up

Thank you. This drives me crazy. Apple for comparison is less then 0.5%

Jellyfin: why is the line two different colors?

The video is either being transcoded or direct streaming (audio only being transcoded). The red line is how far ahead that process is.

Like many parts of the US, we were in serious g danger of massive budget cuts for next year after COVID transit relief dries up.

In Chicago's case we had three scenarios.

  1. Funding does not pass, 40% service cuts everywhere. Devastating

  2. 700 million. Status quo, the current schedules remain with the gaps many have been experiencing since ether pandemic.

  3. This 1.5 billion. Not without compromises, but very promising to improve reliability and frequency

FUCK.

I've been wanting to sell mine for ages and get the Honeywell Z-Wave one. Now I can't really do that. Fuck off Google.

All thumbnails have always been broken on the mobile app, is this just me?

Yes, that works! It seems to just be when exploring among all channels that the problem happens.

How long until AI models start training off Grokipedia, and we have the biggest game of hallucination telephone?

Would it be possible to get a status page?

Hey, did you ever get a chance to explore this?

I run Uptime Kuma on my personal server, it works as a standalone Docker container if that's your jam: https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma

Of course you probably don't want to run it on the same server you're running Lemmy on to avoid it also going down. Personally I run it on a free tier Oracle Cloud instance.

There have been a few outages lately so it would be helpful to have a reference for status and to see communications.

I know being a sysadmin is thankless work, I'm a DevOps engineer by trade :) so thanks for all you do. And if you ever need tips I have my work and personal home lab as a reference.
