I'm in Europe, and work for an American company. After a few issues in production, they tried to implement an on-call requirement for employees to check the alerts during their out of work hours (5am to 10pm or something stupid like that). I just reminded them that my country has the "Right to disconnect" law, which protects us from having to work outside our required hours.

They changed it to volunteer basis. I refuse to volunteer (because my off time is my time).

Whenever I see melted cheese, I just have this craving to clog my arteries

Its also getting the content creators onto the new platform. Thats a bigger challenge I think, without creators it's a dead site really, and making videos is significantly more difficult than image or text posting.

For storage, if we assume the format would be WebM at 1080p, 60fps and 20 minutes in length, it turns out to about 1GB. Even a cheap VPS instance usually offer 50GB of storage (with not too expensive storage upgrades).

So if its distributed evenly, we can host a good bit of videos (nothing compared to YouTube though).

Agreed.

I once worked on a team in a company who had to ssh into a server and do all the development work on that server. So all we could use was either vim or emacs. I had my vim decked out with all the plugins and customizations, and it was fine.

But after you get back to using an IDE (especially an IDE with a vim plugin), it's hard to go back

My spiders (if I have any left, since my cats like to hunt anything that moves) are freeloaders because my cats are catching (and eating) all the flies instead of them.

Spiders: "They took our jobs!!"

Its completely true.

Here's the behind the scenes video. Skip to 2:50 for the Viggo part

He did. Apparently he wanted to just super glue his tooth back and continue the scene. The crew basically had to force him to go to the dentist for emergency tooth job and he was back filming after 1 hour

Thanks! Really happy to hear that 😁

Before 0.18.2, whenever I posted something from my instance, and that post contained an image, I would get the spinning animation on the button and after like 5 minutes I would get some error (likely a timeout). But despite that, the post would actually show up, so it was probably timing out on some confirmation stage.

But after I updated the instance to 0.18.2, it's been working fine, so hopefully it stays that way

Yeah, for me LOTR holds a special place because it's something I very vividly remember watching as a kid, so I don't think any other movie would compare.

That said, my very first exposure to LOTR movie was actually a humorous dubbed version which completely twisted all the characters. I only later discovered that it was not, in fact, the real LOTR. Imagine my surprise
