This post will get removed. Cupcake is right. The problem right now is that it’s not as reliable as email and has a confusing end user experience. It will get better. Fingers crossed.

It has to be done by manually by changing a row in the database AFAIK. Are you on matrix? If you ask in there someone might work with you.

All good. Could be on a Wagner APC in Rostov-on-Don costing 12 rubles a second.

Knock at the Cabin

Not M. Night's best work. I'm not a particular fan anyway, but here's my micro-review. The love story was touching, but didn't wrestle a tear out of me. You can tell from the flashbacks that the writers spent a lot of time thinking about the main characters, but there's not enough screen time dedicated to developing them.

Most of the screen time is spent highlighting two or three perdictable jump scares, and many minutes of bad attempts to build suspense. The religious dogma is boring. If you're going to include that as the premise of your thriller, then at least get creative.

Bautista is the best part and that's saying something.

EDIT: The twist, if you can call it that, is more of a mild tale of morality about how things aren't always what they seem. Blair Witch 2 had a better "twist" and it was one of the worst movies I've ever had to suffer through.

Coincidentally, I just went down the rabbit hole of the A24 production company. Very cool film-makers behind some of my most recent favourite flicks, including Marcel the Shell with Shoes on!

There is a rub though: even if it is a tiny instance, if the user base subscribes to other communities on other instances, traffic increase quit a lot. It's small enough with 200k users but it could become an issue if growth is steady. It wouldn't be long until "home" internet connections just won't work reliably enough for admins.

That's noble, but what if it grows beyond the admin's capability to pay the hosting costs?

Say what you want about the guy. He was confident enough to convince others and hubris fucked him hard. No human deserves to die, but there should be consequences if your this fucking delusional.

Reddit has always had the good stuff in the comments. The shitification, IMO, is the total lack of effort everywhere.

I gave awards to anyone who commented they were switching with all the coins accumulated for 13 years. :(

Here’s a question. Who’s monitoring Reddit’s traffic and activity other than Reddit? What incentive do they have to be honest about those numbers?
