AmigaOS 4 News – July 2023 Hi there, Thanks so much for visiting my blog! 🙂 The month of August is here, which means that it is once again time for another AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup. One of th…

 

Phone and communications titan announces plan to transform its streetside broadband boxes into EV chargers

 

So we can stand around at the bar for twenty minutes being overlooked whilst gasping for a drink? No thanks.

 

I did some further testing of federation issues, and have discovered that Kbin (at least Fedia) magazine articles don't federate to remote instances unless they are interacted with on the host instance.

YSK: If you own a magazine on Kbin, make a point of interacting with everything (just an upvote is fine) to ensure it gets pushed out and seen, at least until this is fixed.

(that includes this article, can't see it from Lemmy until it gets interacted with on kbin.social!)

 

Whizzer and Chips was my favourite comic, but which side were you on?

 

Renault will cease production of its Zoe electric car on 30 March 2024. It was already clear that there would be no new Zoe generation, but now the date has been set for the end of production at the Flins plant. Zoe has blazed a trail in her time. The…

 

I'm in the process of renewing my car insurance with Direct Line, and it appears they've added this Zoom EV Benefits Bundle for free.

It's not that exciting, but there's £10 of Octopus Electroverse credit, and 25kWh of Osprey credit included which I've redeemed.

Most links have been working fine for me recently, although I still occasionally see this error. However, it appears that links to kbin magazines don't work at all. I suspect Connect is searching for server/c/community and not retrying with server/m/community when it gets an error back.

My automated thread creator didn't work properly, so here's the official channel update news from Freeview.

When I was in local government, they had a load of old sevrers - all sorts of things, most of which I couldn't identify. There was a mainframe system which was heavily used via Wyse terminals - I'm not sure if it was actually running on a mainframe still at that point, but they definitely had some as I had to change all the backup tapes in lots of server rooms in the building. All sorts of things with what looked like reel to reel tapes in them. Shame even camera phones weren't a thing (this was in early 2000s) or I'd have taken lots of photos. There were some Sun boxes as well.

Turns out that's not a full IE 5.5 package. The full ones are available here:

There are warnings the extreme heat could continue for a further 10 days in parts of Italy.

I think Kbin converted it to a full link! Should have created this thread with Lemmy really (btw, Chris/floppy in this thread is also me)

 

Full URL links to communities appear to open fine - even if the instance isn't aware of that community (hurray! thank you for this, it's ace!)
However, links with exclamation marks seem to try to open a user.

I'm going to try putting one in here, but I'm posting from kbin so it might go a bit weird or not exhibit the same problem.

I strongly suspect it's a timezone bug in kbin. fedia.io is hosted in Germany (I think) which will be GMT+2, which would explain the two hours difference if it isn't converting back to GMT/UTC on the timestamps. Does this happen on kbin.social too? That would help determine if it's a kbin bug or just configuration on fedia.io.

I was sent this fruit cake as a thank you for some software I wrote, back in the 2000s. It's from a famous fruit cake place in USA (I forget where now) and was delicious.

That's interesting. Despite being on the dev branch, Fedia doesn't have this yet! @jerry maybe time for another update? 😉
