Sometimes using the color selection tool, sometimes creating an outline for text, sometimes literally saving.

But then why isn’t rent paid weekly?

rent is almost always paid weekly.

Did you mean monthly in that last sentence?

Well, I’m used to monthly, both for rent and for salaries. So biweekly is still strangely often to me.

But thanks for correcting me.

I tend to forget that salaries are paid weekly in the US. Then this makes at least somewhat sense.

Thanks for confirming it. I was afraid I might be the only one.

Gimp crashed multiple times on me in the last 3 hours. One of these was when I was trying to save in order to not lose all my work.

Gimp 2 didn’t do that as far as I can tell. Since version 3 didn’t bring any noticeable improvements (at least to me), I guess I’ll downgrade. Welp.

Different audience. I guess they know they can’t get away with forcing OneDrive on programmers.

What about hobnibble?

a precursor believed to be the real origin

You make it sound like this was 10000 years ago and archeologists had to figure that out on dig sites. It’s well-known that the internet developed out of the ARPANET.

This is the best joke I’ve heard all year. You single-handedly made my evening!

Man, I’m retarded. Let me quote it for you.

Maintenance Schedule

On Friday, January 30, 2026, the IP address for feddit.org will change from 146.255.56.83 to 146.255.56.93 over the course of the day.

The reason for this is that we are moving the entire instance to a new Kubernetes cluster. The migration will proceed as follows: in the first step, we will make feddit.org accessible on both IPs in parallel (the data backends for text and images are identical and accessible from both the old and new clusters).

We will then monitor how many accesses are still occurring via the old IP address and decide when we can completely shut down the old cluster. Currently, a transition period of about one week is planned. This should make the migration transparent for all users, regardless of DNS caches, etc. Changes to Bot Protection

As you probably know, bots from LLM companies (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) aggressively try to crawl websites for content, repeatedly causing performance and access issues. For this reason, we will protect feddit.org in the future with Anubis. This requires the browser to solve a simple “proof-of-work” task before content is presented. For “normal” use of feddit.org, this measure is not noticeable but has proven very effective in defending against bots.

Furthermore, we are also lifting the extensive IP blocks for certain “problematic” network ranges - feddit.org will thus be fully accessible again worldwide. The issues where images from feddit.org might not load on other instances should also be resolved.

Next Steps

Subsequently, we will shut down the old instance and replace it with an information page about the change, in case any traffic still lands there.

After that, we will update feddit.org to the latest Lemmy version in a subsequent maintenance window. There will be a separate announcement for that.

Best regards, your

feddit.org Admin Team

feddit just announced that these problems should disappear two weeks from now. https://feddit.org/post/24855903

@surprised_pikachu@feddit.org Any chance this as fixable by the admins? Maybe a more targeted geoblock?

You don’t need any electricity to play a record

Are we talking about the hand-cranked players from the olden days?

Don’t fret. In 20 years’ time future hipsters will romanticize bleeding colors, dogshit resolution and subpar color space and call it “so much nicer to watch”.

Why not eat fertilized eggs?

An egg is not an embryo. It’s an egg cell that can receive sperm to become fertilized. Then it starts to grow and is called an embryo. In species where the embryo develops inside its mother, it is called a fetus in later stages.

The reason why I added the ‘not in chicken’ disclaimer is because bees, for instance, do develop without fertilization. But I don’t know enough about that to elaborate further.

There’s no such thing as an “unfertilized embryo”. At least not in chicken.

I believe they’re content with drinking paint thinners. No harm done.

Planet Schlorp was a perfect utopia…
