OK, bot has now been given a process management system to help run continually and not crash completely if there is an error. Not sure if it will help with the not posting at/after midnight issue, but it can't hurt and will give me a bit more information.

I have instructed the bot to post at 11:55, but after past failures am much less hopeful it will actually work โ˜น๏ธ I've added in a few more test posts elsewhere at various intervals to try and get some more information about what is going wrong. At the moment the theory that the cat is sabotaging it seems as likely as anything else. It is very frustrating that every single test I do works perfectly, and the actual post doesn't.

FWIW one of my peeves with the way it worked on reddit is that a new thread at midnight can interrupt the thread conversations for night owls. I feel like a 4 AM time for the new thread would be good.

Midnight is a clear break between one day and the next. 4am is arbitrary.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I picked it as a solid guess as to when most people are offline. Not arbitrary at all.

So did I end up being right then?

That your cat was the saboteur and is trying to take over the world?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Its the best theory I have right now. She's trying to look disinterested, but she definitely has a keyboard obsession she's not been able to hide, so being a closet hacker is something I wouldn't put past her.

My dinner

From top left clockwise: Aldi's potato scallop, peas, sauted mushrooms with chives, marinated lamb ribs definitely not burnt just well done, mint jelly. Corn on the cob not pictured.

Please note that the plate is small. (26cm in diameter)

My husband made an observation. He said "I noticed that the smaller ribs did not make the photo but ended up in my lunch". :)

echThe last few days have been really low
My applications are progressing slow
Like glaciers taking a thousand years
To slide down into an ocean of fears

Heart sinking down down down
Mind thinking round round round
Blood rushing without a sound
Threads unravelled, coils unwound

Melancholic sheets between fields of pillows
Speckled with heavy sighs hanging like willows
Their leaves are tears feeding the streams
Of fears that this is all that it seems

In other more positive news, I have my initial ADHD assessment via Telehealth on the 15th! This place is much cheaper, the only drawback, though bearable is that I have to wait until November for my official diagnosis. So please manifest are sooner cancellation for me.

With Reddit's changes (albeit I think more people thought it things would be more dramatic than they have been), and Twitter's continuing shit show, alongside Facebook's shadow of it's shadow of its former self... do we think we're seeing or are in the middle of the end of social media in a large sense?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Seeing how younger people use social media is actually quite interesting.

My kids use it to share funny crap with their friends. Pretty much what email was back in the late 90's early 00's.

They don't really use for posting or communicating. Just sharing.

Their interactions with friends are video calls and meetups.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It's been interesting seeing the recent stuff that's happened. Like there's Mastodon as a Twitter replicate, Lemmy for Reddit, Tumblr is still Tumblr (a lot of Twitter and Reddit users migrated to Tumblr recently, it's a lot of fun over there. We still don't allow porn, but if it's artistic like a photograph or in a movie it's allowed but there are mature filters for like nusity, gore, etc).

There's a MySpace replicate called HeySpace. It's actually pretty cool, as someone who was on MySpace as a scene/emo kid.

But yeah it seems social media is imploding. I'm curious what the future of the Internet will be.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

We may be seeing the end of less savvy user, which tbh is a good thing.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Should clarify: by less savvy I mean "People who do not actively seek out social interactions online unless it is via a platform thrust under their nose as a massive zeitgeist"

I've been farting around on the internet since fredmail, I shall continue farting long after the corporate monoliths have died

I've often said that one of the worst inventions was the smart phone, but I think social media has a lot to explain for itself as well. I was discussing this with the wifey the other day, saying how Instagram seems to be one of the few that people are still actively turning to (and I guess TikTok?). Both of those platforms really blur the definition of "social" media. It doesn't seem like they're widely used to communicate with people they know (vaguely or otherwise), but rather give this faux connection with celebrities, causes or anything else that some people seem to deem as "important."

seems like vaguely interactive television

Yeah nah the crackle is the best bit.

What we have here is a failure to launch. Dammit.

It has to be a problem with the date, bot won't work after midnight. It's eather Cinderella or a gremlin. Next attempt will be before midnight, if that posts it will be a stopgap solution at least while I work out the issues. Maybe I can check the dark web for bot viagra.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

If it's a problem with the date, would it work on 07/07?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. Could it be that you have to do American dates?

How bloody good is ibuprofen and Panadol? I was shaking under a blanket and now Iโ€™m just back to โ€œmehโ€

PSA to check your hot water bottles for leaks. I got into a wet bed last night and realised mine had wet itself. Thankfully I actually didn't refill it last night so it was left from the previous night and must have just seeped through some very minor crack in the rubber.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I think you are supposed to get a new one every 2 years? The rubber degrades from the heat and becomes stiffer and therefore more prone to cracking or bursting.

Hmm itโ€™s 3pm and I havenโ€™t been tagged in one single food/taco pic ๐Ÿ˜”

Which makes me think everyone is too poor to afford food. So free tacos for everyone!!!! ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ๐ŸŒฎ

Godspeed little taco.

I'll be having fried rice tonight methinks. Possibly in a taco shell if that helps.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Pics with descriptions please?

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Shoot I forgot to take a picture of my rice. Raincheck?

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Sure Iโ€™m down for that
