Nice!

Edit: do you have to disassemble the controller (with a screwdriver or something) or is it accessible with just my hands? I swap (rechargeable) AAs on my XBox360 controller quite a bit, and part of why I like it is that I can do it quickly if the battery dies while playing.

Now if it just had a replaceable battery...

If that doesn't work when you try again later, then try searching in the community@example.com format specifically, and also try searching for the URL of a specific post -- that might get it to federate the post and then you should be to access the magazine from that if it succeeds.

If that still doesn't work, message the admin of your instance and ask them for help.

Good luck.

Try searching for the community explicitly -- e.g. community@example.com -- that should make the server aware that it exists. You may also need to subscribe to keep it from going stale, IIRC.

It's been a while since my time on kbin, so apologies if I'm remembering something incorrectly or if mbin has diverged since then.

Just run a web server and expose the specific files you want to share through that?

Huh. Maybe I'm just too early in the game still (despite having put 10+ hours into it) but crafting materials are like, the one thing I'm not hurting for. It's got the Zelda rupee problem for me, at least at this point in the game -- I'm constantly pegged at the max capacity, and it feels like I have basically nothing to use it on. (I mean, I do use the tools I have found so far, situationally, but I don't think I've been down by more than ~100 or so from max other than for that one wish in the starting area.)

Edit: Ok, I'm a bit further in now, and I see what people mean... -.-

There's something else going on there besides base64 encoding of the URL -- possibly they have some binary tracking data or other crap that only makes sense to the creator of the link.

It's not hard to write a small Python script that gets what you want out of a URL like that though. Here's one that works with your sample link:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import base64
import binascii
import itertools
import string
import sys

input_url = sys.argv[1]
parts = input_url.split("/")
  
for chunk in itertools.accumulate(reversed(parts), lambda b,a: "/".join([a,b])):
  try:
    text = base64.b64decode(chunk).decode("ascii", errors="ignore")
    clean = "".join(itertools.takewhile(lambda x: x in string.printable, text))
    print(clean)
  except binascii.Error:
    continue

Save that to a file like decode.py and then you can you run it on the command line like python3 ./decode.py 'YOUR-LINK-HERE'

e.g.

$ python3 ./decode.py 'https://link.sfchronicle.com/external/41488169.38548/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaG90ZG9nYmlsbHMuY29tL2hhbWJ1cmdlci1tb2xkcy9idXJnZXItZG9nLW1vbGQ_c2lkPTY4MTNkMTljYzM0ZWJjZTE4NDA1ZGVjYSZzcz1QJnN0X3JpZD1udWxsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9bmV3c2xldHRlciZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV90ZXJtPWJyaWVmaW5nJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1zZmNfYml0ZWN1cmlvdXM/6813d19cc34ebce18405decaB7ef84e41'

This script works by spitting the URL at '/' characters and then recombining the parts (right-to-left) and checking if that chunk of text can be base64 decoded successfully. If it does, it then takes any printable ASCII characters at the start of the string and outputs it (to clean up the garbage characters at the end). If there's more than one possible valid interpretation as base64 it will print them all as it finds them.

I just got it a half hour ago (2025-09-04 ~3PM UTC) on GOG and can confirm -- no issues at that time!

Nginx is running in Docker

Are you launching the container with the correct ports exposed? You generally cannot make connections into a container from the outside unless you explicitly tell Docker that you want it to allow that to happen... i.e. assuming you want a simple one-to-one mapping for HTTP and HTTPS standard ports are you passing something like -p 80:80 -p 443:443 to docker run on the command line, adding the appropriate ports in your compose file, or doing something similar with another tool for bringing the container up?

I've put drives into standby mode with the gnome disks GUI tool on my regular desktop when they were being noisy and I wanted some peace for a while. If the drive was mounted before I put it to sleep, trying to access something on the disk will cause it to spin back up.
