@serrebi The problem with saying it goes both ways is that one way is significantly more harmful than the other. Cis people villainizing trans people can lead to restrictive laws, abuse, violence ... trans people speaking negatively of cis people can, at most, upset some cis person on the internet.

Not that comparing oppressions is ideal, but it is similar to us blind folks calling sighted people sighties, sightlings, or some other word du jour. Most of the time, that is done either jokingly, or when complaining about actual ableism against us, such as being talked to like a child, grabbed without permission, mocked, etc.

Can it get a little mean-spirited, sometimes? Sure. But it is our way of coping with actual discrimination. Pain is not always pretty; sometimes it is angry.

And far, far fewer people are actually committing violence against, or killing, blind people. Far fewer are not merely not acknowledging we exist, but openly, hatefully saying we should not. That's the trouble with comparing these things. But hopefully it makes the contrast clearer.

@fuzzychef That one's on Tier 0 of Oliphant's blocklist. Might be a good resource to subscribe to.

@x0 somehow I have a hard time imagining there's any kind of mp3 that ffmpeg has a hard time dealing with. I'm running some files through it manually to check, but they seem to work OK. So the problem is somewhere else.

# orderedItems[].object.content
@x0 yeah I noticed. It's not just opus, it also happens with some mp3's. Very strange. Am still looking.

# orderedItems[].object.content
@x0 OK so I finally got around to checking some more, and it doesn't just happen with opus. It seems to happen with any significantly large file and I'm not exactly sure where the problem is, because this is the exact problem I hoped I fixed. I'm sorry. I'll try my best.

@x0 @Brynify OK, I can manually convert opus using the ffmpeg that we use on the server. I'm not sure what's up here, going to have to dig through some logs. Might take a while.

@x0 @Brynify I might have broken OPUS support when trying to fix the other media issue we had a couple months ago. I'll check.

@Jonathan Ah, right. That is from back when we still had application sign-ups enabled. We have been invide-only for a few months, but have not gotten around to changing the rules yet. :ms_sweat_smile:
No, there isn't. But we do still very much appreciate you reading the rules -- most do not! If you would like to send us the password to prove you have done so, you definitely can, and it would make us happy.

@x0 it is likely that both semaphore and TWBlue do not do this. It's a relatively recent addition so Semaphore probably didn't add it, and TWBlue's Mastodon support still seems to be relatively early.

@menelion That very much depends on how many people you have on it, and how active they are. Mastodon is one of the more resource hungry fediverse apps. Right now, DC runs on a server with an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1271 v3 @ 3.60GHz, and 32 GB RAM, but we still have a way to go before we run out of resources. Our DB is currently around 34 GB in size, and media storage is around 700 GB (I clear it frequently). Most frequently accessed media is cached on server, which is around 2 gigabytes, but it fluctuates. And of course a mass emailer. We have 288 users, and 195 active ones currently, according to the Mastodon dashboard. We could probably get away with fewer resources than this, but it's a gamble because our last server really badly struggled, and this way we have room to grow or simply keep going the way we are.

@meadow@ni.hil.ist Thank you very much for collecting these! It was nice to see that we already had most of them blocked, but a couple slipped through.

@kev Full-text search is indeed not supported, as it would consume too much resources. But hashtag search should work fine. @UnicornQueen1 , does the problem persist?

@ultamentkiller Ah, our bad. It looked to both of us like you were using an automatic service to post this.
As long as it's manual, you are all good. However, it may be nice if you could, for example, briefly explain why you rated a book a certain way, or something else to make it look less ... bottish.

@ultamentkiller Hi!
In the future, would you mind posting these posts as Unlisted? They're crossposts of a kind, so they fall under Rule 3.
Thank you!
