I’ll have to check if pictrs added some gif upload attributes to their settings. I think I remember seeing an option. I’ll try fixing this today!

Edit:

Yea it’s set to 256x256 max. Not sure what a great max size should be… I’ll bump it to 512 for now, but we can always use external URLs as well that are larger.

Edit 2:

Bumped max size to 512 and removed pixel count all together. Tested below. If we need more than 512, we can bump it. Photo storage is sorta an issue but we should be good for a while.

Edit 3:

Also, it kinda sucks that lemmy-ui doesn’t just bubble up that error in a toast or something. I get it on Voyager for iOS as an error “Image too wide/tall” or “Too many pixels” so I know it’s in the response.

Oddly enough, I think that’s supposed to not be set to anything. The way lemmy does language replies and filtering is kinda odd. If you set that to English, I think only people who have just English set can see or reply. Shrug

Testing image uploading with new pictrs update

Nice! I did the exact same thing. Remote exam in my bathroom. Congrats on the tech and general. If you plan on the extra, do it before you forget anything from the general because there’s a lot of carry over from the test.

Once the dead rat and blood wall were cleaned up, the stream really went down hill

It’s both. SK, Stop Keying, is used in CW (morse) whenever a station is done transmitting. SK is also Silent Key, but you’ll rarely hear the abbreviation over voice or CW.

Could be that ARRL was down then. All links work for me.

Yea in a community you only see the community info. The “official” sidebar is only on the main feed

What do you see and what link are you using? On my Mac in safari at lemmy.radio I can see it. Not in a community

The general sidebar on the right has some links for how to get into amateur radio.

Not a lemmy dev so I’m not the go to on issues. I had that issue on Firefox though.

I feel like every year since I’ve been licensed and an ARRL member, I’ve become less enthused by the ARRL. To the point where this may be my last year as a member.

Also a thought: I use a few ARRL links in our side bar I wouldn’t mind changing to non-ARRL links. Open to suggestions.

It’s a blast to play. Took about 6 tries to finish the game. The difficulty spike at the end is kinda crazy. Definitely recommend getting it before/if Nintendo takes it down.

In total, it’s not something I’m having an issue paying. I’m not a fan of talking about my personal life, but I did get laid off about 6 months ago so it is an expense for me, but I think something is just around the corner. Moving to a new place soon and have a job lined up that should help.

BUT… since you asked, and I don’t have any plans to put up a KoFi or whatever to ask for donations, our instance currently:

• linode server: $144/month
• .radio TLD: $30/year
• email $10/month

So not too bad, not great either. After I’ve moved and things settle down, my goal is to try to migrate our photos to AWS and downgrade us to a server that’s back at ~$75.

I appreciate the ask, but we’re good for now! I enjoy running this instance and seeing everyone use it.

I do enjoy my morserino-32. It was an educational experience to build and it has definitely helped my cw comprehension

I bought a pretty basic safety razor from maggard about 10 years ago and still love it. The biggest thing to learn and invest in is what blades and lather you like. I started off buying a blade sampler pack from them and settled on astra blades. i’ll change up my lather/soap sometimes. Also a nice brush is good to have.

ah HA! https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2657

Yea the language setting makes absolutely no sense to me. As for the messaging between mastadon and here: doesn’t work for me either. Maybe lemmy doesn’t correctly parse DMs from other services? It’s good at nesting messages but DMs may be something it doesn’t quite get yet. Or maybe it’s straight broken 🙃

So comments like https://lemmy.world/comment/9174951 seem to be federated and showing up. It might be slow to federate today as well. But yea, let’s see how the next few days go after this update.

Can you throw an example at me? I see your comments on other instances.

I can try the newest update soon, but it only updates how pictrs (the photo hosting service we use) stores photos in the database. If we’re having issues now, my first thought would be backed up federation or high usage.

Can you give me an example?
