'A part of me is cavalier about survival... I can be a lunatic at times' - Rhod Gillbert and Angela Barnes on tackling one of the world's most dangerous roads

 

I've been running this community for a while now and want sure how it would plan out. Thank you all for subscribing and posting both beautiful and creepy fae folk art. (Edit: I meant to post a bit more often myself but due to personal issues it's fallen by the wayside a bit)

As a Christmas special, in this thread only, please post photos of your Christmas tree fairies. 🧚

(I'm posting this from an alt as feddit.uk is down)

The dev does plan to open source it I believe.

Shame, but understandable. I'd pretty much come to the same conclusion that the interface and concept is really nice, but the backend just isn't working properly. I've migrated most of my communities off already due to issues.

 

On 18 September 2023, the Felling relay transmitter will close as a result of demolition. A small number of households who receive their signal directly from the transmitter may lose services once the transmitter closes.

 

Half-remembered facts, forgotten memories and made-up lies about Britain's best-selling Spectrum magazine, Your Sinclair.

Yeah, it's a bit dead round there. Looks like there are a few rapids in Rhyl - and a big mostly 7kW hub which might be useful if you spend the day there.

Where abouts in North Wales? There are a few good spots - probably one of the better ones is the open-to-all Tesla Superchargers in Flint, and there's a bank of Instavolts at a farm shop... can't remember the name of the place off hand.

 

Wipeout for the Plus/4. Wait... what?

 

Several charging points for electric vehicles at a motorway service station still aren’t hooked up to the power network after connection delays.

I picked this up in a charity shop some time ago and was trying to run it on Windows 95 with no luck. Just happened upon this guide which says it works on Windows 10 - ran through it and played the first couple of easy levels. It does work!

 

The second Emley Moor TV mast is due to be taken down in autumn 2023 after work was finally completed two years behind schedule

 

Moving to Channel 51 apparently.

 

Shopping channel Create & Craft launches a new service to fill the void left by the closure of Ideal World last month.

I realised some time back that my first name backwards made me sound like a knight. I've failed to utilise this in usernames except maybe once.

Apologies, I didn't know this, I just thought it was served on a subdomain for some random reason and it didn't matter. I'll ensure my links are "clean" in future 🙂

Probably, hopefully they'll sign up with one of the roaming schemes.

Stuffed Fables, or The Adventures Of Robin Hood (not played the latter but I believe it's a similar adventure gamebook system)

Yes, this doesn't make sense. How I thought it worked is that the originating server would push the new article to the home instance, and the other instances then pull from there (or the home server pushes; whatever, same net effect). If that isn't how it works, I don't see how it can work, as every server which posts to a magazine would need to know who subscribes to it. Certainly in the case of Mastodon, it doesn't have a concept of this, yet can post to communities/magazines and the comments federate out (maybe comments work differently though? There doesn't appear to be a problem with comments as far as I can tell)

Chaos is a brilliant multiplayer turn-based strategy game.
Lemmings is the perfect puzzle game (also shameless plug for !lemmings)

...which I see now are local links with /c/ so not the issue we're discussing here!
