Edit: A fix has been deployed, and federation should work now. Unfortunately, kbin.social is taking its sweet time federating with us, it is probably overloaded. Lemdro.id is already accessible from other kbin instances such as fedia.io (https://fedia.io/m/android@lemdro.id)

Hello! Admin here at lemdro.id. This is the result of several problems in the lemmy default reference nginx config. I am working on resolving this right now and should have it fixed within the next 30 minutes!

Basically, the lemmy backend service for some reason marked every instance we federated with as inactive, which caused it to stop outbound federation with basically everyone. I have a few working theories on why, but not fully sure yet.

TL;DR lemmy bug, required manual database intervention to fix

This was a stressful start to a vacation!

For a more detailed working theory...

I've been doing a lot of infrastructure upgrades lately. Lemdro.id runs on a ton of containerized services that scale horizontally for each part of the stack globally and according to load. It's pretty cool. But my theory is that since the backend schedules inactive checking for 24 hours from when it starts that it simply was being restarted (upgraded) before it had a chance to check activity until it was too late.

theory:

• scheduled task checks instances every 24 hours

• I updated (restarted it) more than every 24 hours

• it never had a chance to run the check

• ???

• failure

This isn't really a great design for inactivity checking and I'll be submitting a pull request to fix it.

sure! take a look at this issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/issues/106

It is likely yours is fixed if you deployed recently

Freesync yes, HDR soon™

I've gotten an email like this before for lemdro.id. I think it's a generic phishing email since the community links look like email addresses (and actually often are)

It is my opinion that there is only "tension" because you say there is. I do not believe that most people feel that way; it isn't exactly an active war zone. Nevertheless, I respect your decision as moderator of this community, and I'll leave you be in the future. Best of luck!

fuck

wow, this one is relatable. So far I keep succeeding so I haven't been demotivated yet...

I'm the backend guy at lemdro.id, I started the instance. I don't moderate the !android@lemdro.id community (or any of them... I purely do infrastructure), but I am quite aware of the drama around recent events involving the two android communities.

The intent behind banning all lemdro.id users from applying to be mods feels quite... retaliatory? I'm not sure there is anyone on lemdro.id who would apply, but depriving them the opportunity simply because they are associated with an instance that hosts a community which had another community merge into it?

It is your community, you can of course do what you want. I just wish we could drop the drama, act like adults, and move on. Tired of the vitriol.

test comment please ignore

I don't understand why this exists. Polestar has enough problems lol

not surprising, but super disappointing. Beeper Mini was a dream come true

Hey everyone, this exploit was present in the custom emoji feature of Lemmy. Because lemdro.id does not use custom emojis, we are not vulnerable at this time.

I'm gonna go against the grain and say this is awesome and I'm excited for it. I love talking to other people about less-popular songs. I think it could really add a cool social aspect

I'm sure the GOP-led house would be very receptive to that

A lot of people are missing the big picture here. Look up Starshield. SpaceX is aggressively hiring for the Starlink DoD edition essentially. I suspect the US govt is not as worried about this as you think

There are more Android devices, so I'm optimistic Google's alternative could be great

I don't mean to stir up anything, this is entirely respectful (remove this if it isn't, no worries), but it is useful for someone who knew who someone named "Anthony" was, despite the fact that they don't exist anymore. I guess it doesn't matter, but I immediately was able to understand who they were talking about since I didn't know she had transitioned. Is there a better way to approach providing this context?

oh no, they noticed. Shhhh... admin testing comment latency..

Well, it's better than the previous ones imo

I'm not sure how innovative this is since even Microsoft teams has this but I agree with the sentiment

As requested: !androidmemes@lemdro.id

I would like to recommend "Piston" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.clockworkbits.piston as well. It is the only app I found that feels modern and well-built vs all other OBD2 apps looking like they're 6+ years old

fyi, I replied in this thread!

really rough to use honestly. I'd rather use non-FOSS (on shape) while I wait for this to hit the "blender inflection point" and actually get good.

Copy-pasting this from a comment I made a few days ago. I’m so tired of this misconception. Google’s business model literally disincentivizes selling personal data. The business model is built on selling targeted advertisements. Google wants to keep this data to itself because it gives them a competitive advantage in the ad space.

Selling your data would give competitors power in the marketplace. So yes, Google collects data and uses it, but no, Google does not sell your data. It sells targeting BASED on your data.

Very different, regardless of if it is any better.

I'm currently applying for jobs and I don't even bother with unreasonable ranges. I have a target salary so I won't play games if the low end of your range is half that.

You know you can just turn off bots in your profile settings... right? That is an option here.

YouTube streams are so good. Google really has the video streaming tech stack nailed

I mean, Fairphone runs Android. So the same Android Auto that a Google Pixel would have

Oh hey, this community made it into the screenshots on the listing!

also lifting that stupid ban on other browser engines, and I'd like to see the ability to change more default app stuff

yeah that was my reaction as well

also, it's like, not his property

.....and you can't change the units on it. Great. Even if your entire phone is set to Celsius, you get Fahrenheit. It's useless

lemdro.id was actually created with the original intent of hosting Android, but has kind of grown a little to more general technical content in the same realm. I definitely hear your point though. Personally, my hope is this helps take load off of lemmy.world. This is my contribution to make the fediverse more viable long-term as it continues to grow

Thanks, I appreciate this clarification and the different perspective is helpful. I can see why I should prioritize her well-being over my ease-of-reference. I'll be sure to avoid this in the future

I liked this one, although I suspect it may not always age well

just for clarification, they are Bluetooth trackers. They don't have a GPS radio within them and have no intrinsic knowledge of where they are located. Essentially just a Bluetooth beacon

hol up what kind of intern can afford to buy a Model 3?
