They are indeed.

Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay 120k$ within 24h (robindev.substack.com)

TL;DR: We've been on the Cloudflare Business plan ($250/month) for years. They suddenly contacted us and asked us to either pay them $120k up front for one year of Enterprise within 24 hours or they would take down all of our domains. While this escalated up our business we had 3 sales calls with them, trying to figure out what...

Only if...

Sure, no problem: ssh root@euv-deep-space-cleanroom-4. Followed-by: rm -rf --no-preserve-root /. I do this all the time, to increase revenue stream.

@baggins Are you counting polar bears? Since I think there are also not many left ;P

@modean987 It's just a joke.. take it easy man.

@modean987 That being said.. Here is a generated polar bear according to gpt-4o. I'm not making this up.

@pixelworld_ai RIP polar bears indeed.

@modean987 All AI news & hypes should be not taken seriously anyway. I don't think the current AI models can be really intelligent anyway. Maybe watch a bit more comedy ;), laugh a bit in life, before it's over.

Try to clean your USB stick. Remove the worm and maybe use a cloth to remove the dirt.

Try C-band UV Lamp instead.

nowadays there is also malware that actually infect the firmware. Meaning just wiping the content isn't good enough anymore. Same is true for BIOS worms/infections.

@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

@Aatube It seems that Mbin isn't handle those changes correctly and change the thread/post type after such a change.

What is a backup?

Understood. I'm also maintainer of several AUR packages.

I hate smoke alarms, especially since I have Tinnitus. So indeed I throw those away.

I know how. Switch to Linux! Right now!

Searching on the handler should indeed find & create the user if not present:, eg. https://fedia.io/search?q=%40Gaeilge%40kbin.social However, fedia.io still seems to return "Empty". I tried to do the same on my instance and that worked.

I'm not sure what goes wrong, assuming kbin.social didn't block fedia, then I suspect some kind of issue at fedia.io. I believe we need to debug this issue on the server-side. Hopefully @jerry can have a look at his logs when trying to execute the search query above and maybe find the root-cause that way.

@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

The user only now seems to exists (created 1 day ago it says): https://fedia.io/m/Gaeilge@kbin.social. So yes it seems to work fine!

@FarraigePlaisteach @kbal be sure you are logged-in before doing this search.

Small.. down side.

Ernest needs to quickly delegate or this instance will quickly die (kbin.social)

I appreciate that earnest made a post yesterday, or maybe it was the day before, saying that he is not dead and hasn't given up on kbin. It's not on this magazine, so I'm not sure where it was since this seems to be the most appropriate one, but in any case....

melroy ,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Mbin was created to get kbin to the next level.

melroy ,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

I asked Ernest 1 year ago about delegating and empower the software developers, but that didn't happen and will never happen. That was the reason to create Mbin.

melroy ,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

nice

melroy ,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Mbin is a fork, Kbin is currently not in active development. See also: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin

melroy ,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

No not really. The problem is that Ernest wants to be a final person that does all the checks/reviews/etc. Creating a bottleneck in the process. Hence Mbin was created to give much more developers and contributors the rights to review each other code and merge code (also known as pull requests). And using the C4 specification. See: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/blob/main/C4.md and: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md.

Implemented menu icons in idkbin 1.3.6! They make the UI feel a lot more polished imo.
I also made these a standalone userstyle if you just want those.

@ThatOneKirbyMain2568 Feel free to create a PR in Mbin. We will merge this. https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/pulls
