  • This is the best joke I’ve heard all year. You single-handedly made my evening!

  • I’d like to humbly question the notion of “being able to implement a vision because you’re the department head”. Usually that just means more meetings.

  • Man, I’m retarded. Let me quote it for you.

    Maintenance Schedule

    On Friday, January 30, 2026, the IP address for feddit.org will change from 146.255.56.83 to 146.255.56.93 over the course of the day.

    The reason for this is that we are moving the entire instance to a new Kubernetes cluster. The migration will proceed as follows: in the first step, we will make feddit.org accessible on both IPs in parallel (the data backends for text and images are identical and accessible from both the old and new clusters).

    We will then monitor how many accesses are still occurring via the old IP address and decide when we can completely shut down the old cluster. Currently, a transition period of about one week is planned. This should make the migration transparent for all users, regardless of DNS caches, etc. Changes to Bot Protection

    As you probably know, bots from LLM companies (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) aggressively try to crawl websites for content, repeatedly causing performance and access issues. For this reason, we will protect feddit.org in the future with Anubis. This requires the browser to solve a simple “proof-of-work” task before content is presented. For “normal” use of feddit.org, this measure is not noticeable but has proven very effective in defending against bots.

    Furthermore, we are also lifting the extensive IP blocks for certain “problematic” network ranges - feddit.org will thus be fully accessible again worldwide. The issues where images from feddit.org might not load on other instances should also be resolved.

    Next Steps

    Subsequently, we will shut down the old instance and replace it with an information page about the change, in case any traffic still lands there.

    After that, we will update feddit.org to the latest Lemmy version in a subsequent maintenance window. There will be a separate announcement for that.

    Best regards, your

    feddit.org Admin Team

  • Who has ever heard of a stinky cat? Their beauty routine takes up about 50% of their awake time!

  • You don’t need any electricity to play a record

    Are we talking about the hand-cranked players from the olden days?

  • It sounds more like you think you are entitled to have access to a library to begin with.

    Could you point me to the part of my comment that led you to that conclusion?

  • Don’t fret. In 20 years’ time future hipsters will romanticize bleeding colors, dogshit resolution and subpar color space and call it “so much nicer to watch”.

  • Adding to this: The German word for the English monoculture (i.e., only one crop per field, but changing every growing season) is Reinkultur, or pure culture.

  • I believe there may be a language barrier at play here.

    “In agriculture, monoculture is the practice of growing one crop species in a field at a time.”, says the English Wikipedia [1].

    German Wikipedia [2], on the other hand, says

    Als Monokultur […] werden […] Flächen bezeichnet, auf denen ausschließlich eine einzige Nutzpflanzenart über mehrere Jahre hintereinander angepflanzt wird […] Wenn auf einem Feld in einer Anbauperiode ausschließlich Nutzpflanzen einer Art angepflanzt werden, handelt es sich um eine Reinkultur, nicht um eine Monokultur.

    Monoculture are fields on which a single crop is planted for multiple years at a time […] If a field contains a single type of crop in a single growing season, it is called a pure culture, not a monoculture.

  • Why not eat fertilized eggs?

  • An egg is not an embryo. It’s an egg cell that can receive sperm to become fertilized. Then it starts to grow and is called an embryo. In species where the embryo develops inside its mother, it is called a fetus in later stages.

    Further reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_embryonic_development#Fertilization_and_the_zygote

    The reason why I added the ‘not in chicken’ disclaimer is because bees, for instance, do develop without fertilization. But I don’t know enough about that to elaborate further.

  • This only works if the software that consumes the JSON doesn’t validate it or ignores keys it doesn’t recognize (which is bad, IMHO).

  • There’s no such thing as an “unfertilized embryo”. At least not in chicken.

  • Or… don’t work at a workplace so toxic that you need to pull these shenanigans.

  • I believe they’re content with drinking paint thinners. No harm done.

  • Planet Schlorp was a perfect utopia…
