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.

Glad I didn't notice. Welcome back, all.
Welcome back, sdf family!
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
Since I didn't have unix_surrealism posts I had to rely on my downloaded collection of Unix surrealism.
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
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 went to my backup instance. Now I'll be on two for a bit I guess - I wouldn't want to leave anyone hanging.
I knew something was up as soon as I couldn't vote on anything. Good to be back.
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!
Mostly sleeping, handily.
I have decided that now is the time, finally, to read those Buffy and Angel comics.
Snuggles and kisses 😘
