kbin.social has been totally down for a while. I don’t think your posts are actually federating when you post into a kbin.social magazine right now; the votes you are getting are probably from other lemmy.world users only.

I was getting it a few days ago, but I’m pretty sure you weren’t on 0.19.4-rc.11 yet the last time I saw it. Testing for a few minutes just now I haven’t managed to reproduce it. Will let you know if I see the issue again. (Hopefully it’s just good now!) Thanks!

I did find a small issue while checking though – on mlmym’s settings page, the logo in the top left is showing up with src %3cnil%3e instead of a valid path.

Is this for game consoles only, or would stuff like experimenting with similar looking (low-poly) art techniques on modern computers be acceptable there as well?

I don’t know how to do it with KDE’s tools, but on the command line with ffmpeg you can do something like this:

ffmpeg -i video_track.mp4 -i audio_jp.m4a -i audio_en.m4a -map 0:v -map 1:a -map 2:a -metadata:s:a:0 language=jpn -metadata:s:a:1 language=eng -c:v copy -c:a copy output.mp4

Breaking it down, it:

• runs ffmpeg
• with three inputs (-i flag) – a video file, and two audio files.
• The streams are explicitly mapped into the result, counting the inputs from 0 – i.e. -map 0:v maps input 0 (the first file) as video (v) to the output file and -map 1:a maps the next input as audio (a), etc.
• It sets the metadata for the audio tracks -metadata:s:a:0 language=jpn sets the first audio track (again counting from 0…) to Japanese; the second metadata option sets the next audio track to English.
• -c:v copy specifies that the video codec should be copied directly (i.e. don’t re-encode – remove this if you DO need to re-encode)
• -c:a copy specifies that the audio codec should be copied directly (i.e. don’t re-encode – remove this if you DO need to re-encode)
• output.mp4 – finally, list the name of the file you want the result written into.

See documentation here: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html

If you need another language in the future, I think the language abbreviations are the three letter codes from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-2_codes – but I’m not certain on that.

Got it. Best of luck in your bug hunt!

Thanks. I’m still seeing some long load times, so it looks like the issue is still present.

Do the RC releases have the federation changes to ditch the sequential transfer model? If so, I wonder if the DB is getting hammered or something…

That requires turning every read into a write – which is slow/expensive generally. (That might not matter much for Google – who try to record everything you ever do already, basically – but it matters for everyone else.)

Also, it tends to promote spam and offensive niche content. kbin’s got a sidebar that tries to promote random low activity communities and posts, for example, and it’s almost uncanny how much crap it pushes up…

Awesome! Thank you!

The Wet Bandits don’t stand a chance now! :p

I wonder if this will actually cause an increase in the number of security vulnerabilities and breaches as there’s now a fairly obvious way for employees to penalize their bosses financially for being assholes…

I’ve seen 20+ car crashes outside my window in the last few years and cars usually either stay right where they stopped until police (and later tow trucks) arrive in the case of serious accidents or else pull over to the side of the road to exchange insurance information in minor accidents. In some of the moderate cases, I’ve seen the drivers try to move their cars out of the way of traffic but they still stay at the scene. I’ve never seen a car pull into a parking lot after an accident despite there being one literally right there where I live.

Glad to know it’s not just me. I think there might be more going on than just a caching issue though since when I look at the URLs requested in my browser’s dev tools it seems like it’s actually requesting the wrong data from the API. It looks like it’s always requesting https://reddthat.com/api/v3/post/list?limit=20&sort=New&type_=Subscribed twice per click for me – with the requests raced – regardless of whether I click on Local or All or try to change the sort order. (Subscribed + New sort order is my default view; you might get something different if you have a different default view or are testing it logged out.)

I’ve been curious to watch this one since I saw an AMV a few years ago that someone made out of clips from it – but I never managed to track down a copy.

I can’t seem to get the default lemmy UI to change views at all today. Trying to switch subscribed/local/all or trying change the sort order results in all entries getting highlighted briefly then the same threads are shown.

The problem still shows up on my profile (including if I view it logged out) and the order is persistent until I comment – but still jumbled afterwards. e.g. right before posting this “Penguins in the Bathroom [Penguindrum]” is at the bottom of the first page despite being a post I made 4 months ago, and right above it is “It’s just one of those days… [Nichijou]” from just under two months ago with a screenshot from Nichijou as a comment just above that – but my comments on things like the Kendama Core post and the April Fool’s Day Shrek thread are on the second page despite being much more recent.

Looking at your profile right now as well, I see a comment on “Frequent short downtimes lately?” from 8 months ago at the bottom of the first page while your comment about Meta’s Threads from 2 weeks ago is at the top the second page.

Looking at it logged out, it seems like it’s trying to sort user profiles by Hot by default. I didn’t notice that before since I have default sort set to New – which it definitely is not doing for profiles even though it adds it to the URL. (I’m not sure if it’s actually the Hot sort though – it might be ignoring that too…)

(Submitted an issue on mlmym for you)

Thanks. My ability to interact with Github is limited since I absolutely refuse to give Microsoft my phone number.

Thanks! It looks the way I’m used to again now.

Maybe that option is supposed to make the default view dark mode? I don’t know why it would do things differently than enabling dark mode myself in settings, but I guess it does.

I’m not sure where this change is coming from (I don’t see a version number update listed), but dark mode in mlmym seems to have very suddenly changed just a few minutes before I posted this – <link rel="stylesheet" href="/_/static/dark.css?v=0.0.40%0a" media="(prefers-color-scheme:dark)"> is missing from updated pages leading to things like the envelope being bright white when it was a nice subtle grey before.

Edit: It seems like this was also paired with adding the class “dark” to the body, but this is not equivalent to the old appearance. (Removing class="dark" from the body and adding the old CSS link back reverts the styling change as far as I can tell.)

This might be another mlmym thing, but post previews seem to be getting the ?format=jpg&thumbnail=96 treatment even for non-pictrs links. e.g. I am seeing that added to images from catbox.moe, i.postimg.cc, and other sources.

This might just be a mlmym issue, but I’ve noticed that posts in profiles are in a jumbled order. e.g. a comment I made a week ago is on the second page of my profile while posts from months ago are on the first page… https://old.reddthat.com/u/e0qdk

I’ve also noticed that where it says "<thread title> by <username> in <community>" lists the wrong username. It shows the username of the profile you’re viewing when it should be showing the username of who made the thread. (That’s definitely a mlmym issue though and not a new one – it’s just been bugging me.)

Edit: Found another bug while posting this. "<thread title> by <username> in <community>" when posted without backticks gets rendered as " in ". i.e. everything in angle brackets is removed instead of being escaped. It gets replaced by <!-- raw HTML omitted --> in the output. Something’s really wrong there.
