Does this instance as a whole have a stance on DNP lists, or is it up to each community?

In at least tickling and shinyyiff there is no easy way to toggle or set nsfw using the default web interface. The checkbox either doesn't load, or disappears immediately. For creating the post, nsfw=true can be manually added as a variable. I'd have to dig into the api to see if there is an easy way to toggle a post that has already been created. I don't know if this issue is a problem on apps or other front ends.

I'm noticing some errors on images hosted on pawb. https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/b89180dc-38dd-4fe0-8104-65491ef6a177.png?format=webp&thumbnail=256 fails with a sled error, IO error: Os { code: 112, kind: Uncategorized, message: "Host is down" }, but the raw image https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/b89180dc-38dd-4fe0-8104-65491ef6a177.png works. the avatar on my profile page is broken, but is present on comments and such. @crashdoom@pawb.social

During his brief unemployment, he explored opportunities flying for a private firefighting company – and still would not rule out leaving NOAA. He remains angry that fellow veterans were caught up in the layoffs.

He backed Trump due to the president's commitment to the rule of law, he said, but now Mr Ripp thinks Trump is flouting the correct procedures for reducing the federal workforce.

There is a default page there now, and whois seems to indicate the registration was updated today (Feb 20).

edit: whatever was up seems to be resolved. Its working again for me.

Dialog-less animated short about a bakery.

federation for yiffit has been turned off. if the fediverse was unaware of pawb before, Kolanaki will spread the word.

If there are any future updates, I will update here.

Edit: I have been logged out...

When creating or viewing posts from youtube, the site_metadata endpoint returns nothing. I think this might be a lemmy bug, and not specific to this instance. lemmy.world shows the same behavior, lemmy.blahaj.zone and yiffit.net both return data.

I didn't, but alphaPhoenix did. Description copied from the video.

So apparently buying a high speed camera wasn't enough, because after two videos with it I decided to build my own, but 5 orders of magnitude faster…

In this video I'm filming the motion of light as it flies across my garage at… well, the speed of light! It's fast. So fast that even with my best setup so far, I get 18 frames of video from one end of the room to the other, and those frames have a lot of temporal blur so realistically each "frame" is actually kind of an average of the information that by right should belong to 5-10 frames. It's a mess, but it works.

I'm using the technique from the electricity waves video where I used repeated oscilloscope measurements synced after the fact to produce "videos" of electricity moving down a wire. The only difference is that instead of measuring electricity waves, I'm measuring light emitted by a laser, bouncing off the wall, traveling to my camera, and landing in the window of a photomultiplier tube. UNLIKE the electricity waves video, this setup (thankfully) is automated, and an optics assembly slews across angle space, building up a 3d dataset of video, collecting all the time information from each pixel sequentially.

It's a really fun project that I've wanted to do for a long time, and just recently got pulled together.

Hope you enjoy!

Whether it be social media use or access to pornography, are there valid studies that have looked into this? I feel like I've only seen anecdotes, or "inappropriate for children", but no evidence, studies, or journals to support this claim.
