We're Back!

What were you up to during the outage?!

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.
- Hey, thanks for telling me about the Ranma ½ remake. I loved it as a teenager, looking forward to watch the remake.
  
  In that case, I think you'll appreciate the voice cast in this new adaptation.
  
  It's a top-tier remake. Gorgeous animation and lovingly faithful
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 🫡
  
  a pentagram
  Oh! That's why. It's SDF, not your neighborhood technodemons. Should have been a bigram, so that the machine spirits could understand without converting numerical bases.
  
  But were they MATA stickers?
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.
Sleeping
Since I didn't have unix_surrealism posts I had to rely on my downloaded collection of Unix surrealism.
Glad I didn't notice. Welcome back, all.
I suppose the server has to catch up now, right? There seems to be plenty of stale discussions.
- heres the deets

  Less than 0... how?
- Yeah, the newest thing I can see was 14 hours ago
Welcome back, sdf family!
Waiting for it to come back lol. Was this scheduled or is something going on?
- I couldn’t tell you because I don’t know, lol🤷‍♂️.
I was just on my backup account on .ml There's some commandline tool i use to sync my subs between the two that runs on my server whenever i do monthly update/backup
- That’s a cool idea… I should steal that! What’s the tool that you use?
  
  lemmy_migrate
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.
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.
Nice!
I have decided that now is the time, finally, to read those Buffy and Angel comics.
Mostly sleeping, handily.
I knew something was up as soon as I couldn't vote on anything. Good to be back.
Snuggles and kisses 😘
