hey, I love this idea, but we tried it and we kept getting candidates who managed to BS their way onsite and then waste our time ultimately.

it just didn't work. I really want it to work because I hated live coding too but it just didn't.

you can make live coding interviews that aren't actually difficult questions and are more about showing that you can think and write the most basic of code. that's what we do now.

fully agree. we're actually reintroducing live coding interviews into our process because so many candidates made it onsite who then showed that they didn't really know how to code

no! there is GSConnect which is a gnome extension that provides the protocol as well

on the other hand, it is REALLY annoying

that would literally defeat the entire purpose of the AUR

yeah I don't think I will buy the Pixel 10 unless GrapheneOS supports it

Basically, the lemmy backend service for some reason marked every instance we federated with as inactive, which caused it to stop outbound federation with basically everyone. I have a few working theories on why, but not fully sure yet.

TL;DR lemmy bug, required manual database intervention to fix

This was a stressful start to a vacation!

For a more detailed working theory...

I've been doing a lot of infrastructure upgrades lately. Lemdro.id runs on a ton of containerized services that scale horizontally for each part of the stack globally and according to load. It's pretty cool. But my theory is that since the backend schedules inactive checking for 24 hours from when it starts that it simply was being restarted (upgraded) before it had a chance to check activity until it was too late.

theory:

• scheduled task checks instances every 24 hours

• I updated (restarted it) more than every 24 hours

• it never had a chance to run the check

• ???

• failure

This isn't really a great design for inactivity checking and I'll be submitting a pull request to fix it.

I've gotten an email like this before for lemdro.id. I think it's a generic phishing email since the community links look like email addresses (and actually often are)

Freesync yes, HDR soon™

It is my opinion that there is only "tension" because you say there is. I do not believe that most people feel that way; it isn't exactly an active war zone. Nevertheless, I respect your decision as moderator of this community, and I'll leave you be in the future. Best of luck!

sure! take a look at this issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/issues/106

It is likely yours is fixed if you deployed recently

Hello! Admin here at lemdro.id. This is the result of several problems in the default reference nginx config. I am working on resolving this right now and should have it fixed within the next 30 minutes!
