In the episode, they also mention the Usui Pass Railway Heritage Park where you can actually drive their working EF63 electric locomotive!

SAUDI ARABIA: The Royal Commission for AlUla has awarded Alstom a €500m contract to supply a 'truly unique' tramway inspired by heritage including the historic Hedjaz Railway. Alstom said the 22·4 km line would be the world's longest catenary-free tramway, and will 'encapsulate richness, history and...

Sooo, who wants to develop the open source hookup app based on the Fediverse?
It's fear of calcification. Lemmy is tiny, in terms of our user base.
If we don't get fresh blood, and most importantly the rare active contributors, we'll just get used to talking to each other, we'll get bored or burned out and leave.
You'd be surprised.
I have a RL friend who's on Reddit all the time, and he didn't even hear about the shutdown, much less /r/place, or anything like lemmy. I've been trying to sell it to him...
Re: The "We're elite" becomes "We're bored talking among the same old people" or "We're burned out", leading to users leaving and formerly thriving communities dying.
I've been around long enough to see this happen on multiple forums.
Should Lemmy buy ads on Reddit?
FediDB is a cutting-edge service providing detailed statistics and insights into the Fediverse network.
User count has plateaued at about 420K
Active user count rose significantly between 2/24 37K to 3/24 51K
Hopefully users who signed up last year are coming back to use their accounts.
Maybe because they're tired of ads on reddit?
Should we put together a collection and and buy an ad campaign on Reddit?
I can see it now:
"Ads suck. We're ad-free forever. Join Lemmy."
and
"He'll never get us. Join Lemmy." or "Don't let him get you. Join Lemmy"
The days of "don't be evil" are long over.
Google and Facebook and the like need to pay journalists for the content that they scrape and distribute for advertising dollars.
Does lemmy.film still exist?
When I search for communities about animation on the web interface, I see one called [email protected]
There has been no activity in the /c for 6 months.
It's not my native instance, but I can read posts and comments in the /c, and I can even create a post in the /c.
But when I try to visit http://lemmy.film in a browser, I get a "Web Server Is Down" page.
Is the content in [email protected] a ghost of cached content on my native instance?
Or anything the devs can do to make it not look goofy.
Post with 1 deleted comment shows as "0 comments (-1 New)"
A new post with 1 deleted comment shows as "comment symbol 0 (-1 New)"
... which looks goofy.
But not in this /c, maybe there's some kind of /c setting that shows quantities of new comments?
Maybe I made and deleted the comment too soon after I created this post?
It's part of the ol' Big Tech playbook:
If a promising emerging competitor emerges:
- Acquire the emerging competitor for cheap when it's still small
- Copy the competitor's best features to make them irrelevant
- Co-opt them with integration so the competitor's users won't see any advantage to staying with them
- Pollute the competitor's content to make your own offering look better
- Steal the competitor's best talent
Image rendering attacks and download tracking are well known, so it's not paranoid at all.
I'm not sure how extensive the spam wave was, nor how quickly the user was able to create an account, make the comments.
I doubt that the quantity in that I came across would be enough to take down a server, but that may be the point: To test lemmy's collective defenses and response without drawing too much attention.
A common IP address or address range ban file that's frequently updated and downloaded by each instance might be another way to boost security.
If this is actually an org attack, I'm guessing that we'll see botnet DDOS comment and post attacks next.
It looks like some kind of fix was implemented after my post, so I can't replicate the problem for you.
Whenever I edit one of my cross-instance posts, the language defaults to English, and I can save my edits with no issues.
Now whether the fix was on an instance basis, i.e. config changes, or in some Lemmy-system update, I can't tell you.
edit: Maybe my issue was solved along with the fix for the default languages: https://lemmy.ml/post/13410320
Comment spam attacks in multiple /c's by Thuleanxxx
There have been a number of comment spam attacks in various posts in a couple of /c's that I follow by a user/individual who uses account names like Thulean*
For example: [email protected] in [email protected]
and [email protected] in [email protected]
edit: Also [email protected] in [email protected]
The posts have been removed or deleted by the respective /c's mods, and the offending accounts banned, but you can see the traces of them in those /c's modlogs.
The comments consist of an all-caps string of words with profanities, and Simpsons memes.
An attack on a post may consist of several repeated or similar looking comments.
This looks like a bored teenager prank, but it may also be an organization testing Lemmy's systemic and collective defenses and ability to respond against spam and bot posts.
I disagree that people suck.
I think that enshittification on any SM platform, whether free and open, or built for commerce, happens when companies try to exploit it for commercial gain.
Take Usenet for example: At the beginning it was great, then spammers found they could post unlimited spam across the newsgroups for free, and it became shit, barring a few groups where mods had to work very hard to weed out the spam to keep them readable, but eventually collapsed, and people moved on to the new platforms.
Reddit, was built for ads and tracking its users to start with, so the gradual creep of enshittification was no surprise there.
And now we have nation-state backed disinformation campaigns to deal with in addition to commercial spam.
I could see Lemmy and the Fediverse in general taking a similar path to Usenet, if the devs, admins, and mods aren't vigilant about keeping bad actors out.
I like the Fediverse's guarantor feature for adding new instances, but we'll have to see how well it holds up under assault from spammers.
Someone just gave me a workaround for this:
Before saving the edits, select a language, other than "Undetermined".
After doing that, my edits to the posts saved normally
Unable To Save Edits To My Posts in /c's Hosted On Other Instances
After I've saved a post to a /c hosted by another instance than the one that I'm logged into, I can open that post for editing, but I'm unable to save my edits to that post.
For example: I made a post to [email protected], while logged in elsewhere. Something or other in the webpage link is forcing a download, so I tried to edit the URL in the post, but I can't save it.
This also happened to a post I made to [email protected] where I was trying to edit the text in the post's Body after saving the post.
I can save edits to my posts to /c's on my native instance just fine.
I watched this Saturday.
There was so much good stuff artistically in this movie!
The changes to the story worked really well, IMO, towards updating it for modern cynical sensibilities:
I loved Zendaya's portrayal of Chani and her girl friend calling out Paul and Jessica's colonialist bullshit.
Jessica's "strange" behavior as a pregnant woman. I agree with others that having Jessica speak for Alia worked better than having a child actor like Lynch's version.
Stilgar's parody of religious fanaticism was hilarious!
Visually, making the worm riding look like some kind of extreme sport worked well
The Giedi Prime black and white/infrared sequences were brilliant, although seeing the Baron and Feyd in regular flesh tones afterwards felt strange.
The Atreides nuke missiles flying across the sky felt apocalyptic
The Sardukar ranks were notably not as rigidly disciplined as we saw in the first film.
Unlike others, I thought that Christopher Walken's emperor was good. Age decrepit on the verge of doddering, but with dark intelligent thoughts behind his sullen face. The only problem with casting Walken was that he's too recognizable.
The one part I didn't like was the climactic dagger fight. I would have liked to see the action better choreographed and coordinated with camera angles to make the sequence of thrusts and parries clearer. I also would have liked to see contrasting fighting styles between whatever Feyd does, and Paul's classical Atreides training mixed with Fremen savagery. I'm still not sure how Paul's knife wound up in Feyd at the end.
I also noticed unlike other adaptations, they didn't do the weirding modules, the Atreides-developed sonic weapons that give the Fremen some kind of combat advantage. But I didn't miss them.
Overall I was very happy with the movie.
US: "No ceasefire"
Also US (Trumpublicans): "No arms for Ukraine either"
Ukraine: "Hey, we're dying over here, we need ammunition"
It's like a giant robot trying to stamp out cockroaches for the last 5 or 6 chapters: Wrong tool for the job...
Bad bot
I'm trying to say report a bug and the steps to re-create the bug.
Web Interface wants me to download .mp4 video from streamable.com
Before I begin, I have to say that this post includes links to an instance, ani.social, that has been defederated from this instance, lemmy.ml, because that's where I discovered this problem.
But in this case, I hope the admins understand that this is worth reporting and investigating, and don't insta-delete this post, because this problem appears to happen with more than that one instance, including sopuli.xyz, which is not defederated from here at lemmy.ml
Let us begin:
With Lemmy account setting “Auto Expand Media” turned on, when I’m viewing community https://ani.social/c/[email protected] on my desktop browser, Firefox on Windows, one particular post, https://ani.social/post/1923262 , causes the /c view to ask me to download an .mp4 video from streamable.com:
After declining the download, the space where the thumbnail for the expanded media goes is just blank.
This doesn’t happen when viewing the same /c on .ml https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]
On .ml, I just get a clickable thumbnail of the video.
It’s just that one post.
On other earlier and later posts of links to streamable.com videos in the same /c, I just get the expected clickable thumbnail.
Maybe some kind of corrupted data as that particular post was transferring over?
When I asked about this on ani.social's meta /c, another user reported the auto-download request on ani.social, sopuli.xyz (the /c's home!) but not on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world
Pon no Michi • The Way of Pon - Episode 1 discussion
CGDCT with mahjong.
Just a generic start.
There's nothing really standing out for me except the art: Those eyes look like they take ages to draw.
The comedy bits where they're imagining things while seated around the table aren't as funny as those in say "Sabagebu!"
Error: invalid_post_title error dialog doesn't explicitly say pasted title is too long, allows too-long title to be pasted
Web interface, on Windows Firefox
I was trying to create a post with the title:
"Sokushi Cheat ga Saikyou Sugite, Isekai no Yatsura ga Marude Aite ni Naranaindesu ga. • My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me! - Episode 1 discussion"
It let me paste this much into the title box:
"Sokushi Cheat ga Saikyou Sugite, Isekai no Yatsura ga Marude Aite ni Naranaindesu ga. • My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me! - Episode 1 d"
Then, when I created the post, a red dialog saying "Error: invalid_post_title" popped up in the lower left of my browser.
I suspected that the pasted title was too long, so I removed some of the text, and sure enough, I was able to create the post.
-
If it's going to automatically truncate the pasted text, it should truncate the text to an acceptable length.
-
The error message should be more specific.
Probably obvious to anyone encountering this, and an easy workaround.
Thanks for your attention devs!
Russia's electronic warfare tactics are helping it turn the tide against Ukraine, stopping HIMARS, JDAM, and drones
At first, Ukraine noticed its GPS-guided 155mm Excalibur artillery shells suddenly started veering off target.
Bad news. New Russian electronic warfare tactics are blocking HIMARS legendary accuracy, and drones.
Without further aid packages with military grade NATO electronics, the Ukrainian electronic advantage is over.
Republicans and Orban are literally killing Ukrainian soldiers.
