    There's a train station right next to the towers. Very cool looking out your train window and seeing this!

    I hate these mid contract rises. BT/EE are always ridiculous in what they rip you off for each year.

    As a Zen broadband customer though I'd highly recommend them!

  • Now Lemmy 0.19 has been released it would be great to see the new "Scaled" sort option in Bean. Hopefully its a simple request. The scaled option is basically a tweak to Hot, which gives equal weightings to small communities too.

    I know the devs had some other commitments that we due to end last month, but its still radio silent here. Like others I am still having crashes and other issues. I did subscribe to a lifetime subscription and do feel a bit cheated that there's been no updates or even replies to bug reports. Bean is still a great app and I hope development ramps up again, especially with all the backend changes coming to Lemmy soon!

    Pictrs randomly returns 404 on old images

    Hello all, I'm the instance admin over at lemmy.team. I'm pretty new to lemmy and have been trying to manage the server over there and will eventually open things up when I'm confident of my abilities to maintain it. I was doing some general server maintenance, which included updating pictrs to 0.4.3. Whist it appeared to work OK, a load of images, but not all just started randomly returning 404 errors. All the images still appear to be there and going forward I plan on using object storage, but not quite there yet. Have I broken something? I did try and downgrade again but still get the same issues. I don't understand enough about pictrs to debug it. I did try to set the folder permissions again just incase something broke there.

    This is personal preference really, but I like how memmy has the community avatar on the feed. I think it helps break the feed up a bit and makes it quicker to spot the community its coming from. Appreciate its very much a personal preference. What do you think?
