testing image uploads!

using the aws-cli as we speak (type?) should be finished in another hour or so!

don’t think there’s an option for that. looks like i’ll have to migrate all of our photos over to S3. Shouldn’t take too long(?)

So of course one of the issues with moving to a new object store is old local images are orphaned. I’m looking at how we might be able to migrate at least our user/community images, but this may be how it is for now. You may have to reupload your profile photo/banner. I’ll work on updating the community images. Honestly, this will help us save on storage in the future.

A Canadian friend introduced me to putting malt vinegar on my “fish and chips”. Was one of those eye opening “why haven’t I been doing this all my life!” moments.

Try kagi search! It actually has a “lense” or search option that lets you directly search federated services like lemmy: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/lenses.html

From experience: I can say that a topic instance such as ours is easier to moderate due to the fact that it’s narrowly focused and the number of posts here are small in comparison to a general instance such as lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works. I moderate the users that join pretty fiercely so I know that the only people that join/post from here are interested in amateur radio in some fashion. I also think we are a bit lucky in how we moderate with the fact that hams tend to moderate themselves and others already through their acts and experiences with radio communications in general (thanks everyone!).

I sorta see how you can view niche instances as having sub-subreddits. Generally though, every community out there is just a subreddit and you can subscribe and post to any of them, even though some communities do share the same topics (there are lots of other amateur radio communities out there).

I definitely like seeing people creating communities here, as long as they are amateur radio focused (see rule 5). I also would suggest making an account on a general lemmy instance as well, in case you would like to make a more generalized community. I think it’s probably just good practice on any federated application to create accounts on multiple instances.

73!

Also note that these are spaces and not rooms. They work just a bit different depending on your client.

This should be the matrix link: https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-space:matrix.org

If I remember right, there was a pretty big change in how pictrs(photo management) worked with lemmy after 0.19.3. There were a few breaking changes and Postgres updates that would take an instance down for a while as well. Not sure if that’s the reason why but it made my instance stay on 0.19.3 for longer than it should have.

I was a little floored when they announced this product (and Proton Scribe). Don’t really see the need for it in the Proton Suite.

Is there an article/source for this, or is it just a pic of a phone with a lock on it?

Yea, it’s just the title and no link. To the top with you for the source!

tracking is mostly done via software. the airplane, satellite, boat, etc will have some way of transmitting data (lat/long, speed, weather data…) and a receiving station (for instance, a computer a ham operator controls) will pick up that transmission and usually post it somewhere. An example would be something like APRS

Ham operators themselves can track in a way. When you are communicating with another ham, you will usually give your callsign, location, other pertinent info, and then you can log/record that you talked to someone from a certain area.

GREAT answer. It’s funny how I got into ham radio because I thought it seemed a cool way to talk to people… and now I almost never use voice and mostly do what you listed above.

nope. fixed!

I just like to imagine that they were testing that down votes work still 😅

I’ll have to check if pictrs added some gif upload attributes to their settings. I think I remember seeing an option. I’ll try fixing this today!

Edit:

Yea it’s set to 256x256 max. Not sure what a great max size should be… I’ll bump it to 512 for now, but we can always use external URLs as well that are larger.

Edit 2:

Bumped max size to 512 and removed pixel count all together. Tested below. If we need more than 512, we can bump it. Photo storage is sorta an issue but we should be good for a while.

Edit 3:

Also, it kinda sucks that lemmy-ui doesn’t just bubble up that error in a toast or something. I get it on Voyager for iOS as an error “Image too wide/tall” or “Too many pixels” so I know it’s in the response.
