Thanks! I'll go ask Tiff about getting reddthat updated later.

BTW, is there a community for discussion of mlmym itself somewhere on lemmy? I can't participate on GitHub, but those aren't the only issues I've found. (e.g. there's also ?format=jpg&thumbnail=96 on non-pictrs links and a text handling issue with angle brackets...)

That's great to hear!

You can open any profile with multiple pages worth of posts or comments on old.reddthat.com and it's jumbled. Even my own profile is jumbled: https://old.reddthat.com/u/e0qdk

The first page is mostly comments I made two weeks ago plus a thread from today and some very old threads. The second page has comments I made earlier today and during the past week. The third page starts with my most recent comment and then has a bunch of older comments.

The exact order might change after posting this, but my own recent comments mostly being on page two has been pretty consistent for a while.

If I look at a very active user's profile (like MentalEdge's), I see threads from today show up on page three(!) while there are threads from a week or more ago on pages one and two.

I'm not sure what's going on exactly, but it basically makes user profiles pretty useless right now through mlmym.

Edit: I can't even find this comment in my profile, but my other reply (regarding the envelope being fixed in 0.0.43) shows up on page 3.

I haven't had much issue with lag, generally, but I don't get notifications any more -- which is probably the most pressing issue. (I have to remember to manually check once in a while after I post since the envelope doesn't light up.) That might be an issue with reddthat being on a recent beta version of lemmy -- I don't know.

We do have lemmy-ui-next over here too. Thanks for reminding me about that. I've been meaning to poke at it a bit.

Right now I'm mostly using mlmym (the "old" interface on most instances that support it) because it doesn't require JS for basic viewing.

It's kind of buggy though, unfortunately -- things like user history show up as a complete jumble, for example. :(

One of these days, I'll probably get fed up enough to go write my own interface and set things up exactly how I want them to work... but I've got too many projects already so I'm just living with it for now.

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...

you might check out Trackless if you like interactive fiction

Thanks. I'll check it out.

BTW, I thought of another game that might be of interest to you. Have you seen Not for Broadcast? It's an unusual game where you play as the controller in the studio switching between multiple video feeds of actual actors presenting the news on TV. You get to make choices about what to show, what to cut, and what ads to play in your broadcast -- which affects the world in an exaggerated fashion. The game timeskips to show you how things play out over the years. There's some distractions that make it a bit more gamey than a VN but you can turn most of them off if they're too annoying, I think.

Have you explored text adventures / interactive fiction? They're even more niche than VNs but there's some good ones out there. I remember liking Worlds Apart back when I played it. (15+ years ago... o___o)

One of these days I should go dig back into them again.

If you really want a setup with that many disks, you might look into Ceph. It's intended for handling stupidly huge amounts of data spread across multiple servers with self-healing and other nice features. (As the name suggests it's a bit of a tentacle monster though.) One of my colleagues set up a deployment at work. It took a while for him to figure out how to get it running well but it's been pretty useful.

Add a couple of JoJo-posing anime characters and this could be a scene out of Paradise Killer.

I don't know about KDE in particular, but I've had problems with USB mice waking various Ubuntu systems when they're not directly connected (i.e. there's a hub or KVM in between it and the computer). The workaround I used for that was to remove the mouse input (e.g. by carefully pressing a physical button on the KVM) -- which was good enough for me -- but I think there is a programmatic way to block particular classes of input from waking the system if some device is waking your system inappropriately.

Doing a quick search turned up this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/252743/how-do-i-prevent-mouse-movement-from-waking-up-a-suspended-computer -- I can't vouch for any of the specific techniques there though.

Worth noting that while I had a problem with the mouse specifically, other hardware could be causing your system to wake up.
