So we can stand around at the bar for twenty minutes being overlooked whilst gasping for a drink? No thanks.

 

I did some further testing of federation issues, and have discovered that Kbin (at least Fedia) magazine articles don't federate to remote instances unless they are interacted with on the host instance.

YSK: If you own a magazine on Kbin, make a point of interacting with everything (just an upvote is fine) to ensure it gets pushed out and seen, at least until this is fixed.

(that includes this article, can't see it from Lemmy until it gets interacted with on kbin.social!)

Most links have been working fine for me recently, although I still occasionally see this error. However, it appears that links to kbin magazines don't work at all. I suspect Connect is searching for server/c/community and not retrying with server/m/community when it gets an error back.

When I was in local government, they had a load of old sevrers - all sorts of things, most of which I couldn't identify. There was a mainframe system which was heavily used via Wyse terminals - I'm not sure if it was actually running on a mainframe still at that point, but they definitely had some as I had to change all the backup tapes in lots of server rooms in the building. All sorts of things with what looked like reel to reel tapes in them. Shame even camera phones weren't a thing (this was in early 2000s) or I'd have taken lots of photos. There were some Sun boxes as well.

I think Kbin converted it to a full link! Should have created this thread with Lemmy really (btw, Chris/floppy in this thread is also me)

The official bug reporting system is @jerry

I strongly suspect it's a timezone bug in kbin. fedia.io is hosted in Germany (I think) which will be GMT+2, which would explain the two hours difference if it isn't converting back to GMT/UTC on the timestamps. Does this happen on kbin.social too? That would help determine if it's a kbin bug or just configuration on fedia.io.

I was sent this fruit cake as a thank you for some software I wrote, back in the 2000s. It's from a famous fruit cake place in USA (I forget where now) and was delicious.
