1·15 hours agoTheres a group also trying to make open source insulin. Cause if your going to die without insulin and your in a bad spot why not.
I wish it wasnt a thing but its a US issue popping up last 10 years.
Something similar https://fourthievesvinegar.org/
They have open hardware and processes for human health purposes. Never tested thier solutions though.

Programming@programming.dev•Why I'm leaving GitHub for ForgejoEnglish
2·1 day agoOK I found out after I got home for lunch.
Its just a script that reaches out to my old mac mini that does the build in a VM. New VM each time. It was good enough for my purposes. The windows runner for Xamarin worked without issues in .net with windows runners. So just two physical boxes I would spin up on the fly. I thought it was more but that was it. I stopped using it a while back and just use linux for builds now since thats mostly my day job. I stopped doing other env work a bit ago.
Hope that helps!

3·3 days agoEssentailly. Theres a couple of peertube instances that had that issue if i recall. Filters started to go up a coupke of years ago. Admins can see it pretty easy in the logs most of the time once its pointed out. Its a timing thing. Some software is beyter at it than others.

4·3 days agoGood questions. Its been a bit since ive looked at lemmys code so im going to dive in again.
Here is the docs for the votes themselves. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-docs/blob/main/src/users/03-votes-and-ranking.md
You can see this in action here: https://lemvotes.org/ if I recall.
I know the vote model is here . You can see the logic here. It checks to see if the post is actually available in the community with other functions and other such checks. It doesnt ask any lemmy instance for totals (unless theres something im not aware of), it tallies based on real time data. Which can also include fediverse actions(not necessarily lemmy/piefed/mbin/etc… but also mastodon, gotosocial, and other such services).
One of the things piefed does a bit differently is it bunches up votes for sending to other instances. And there is a backfill operation when puling from new communities or users. I would argue its a bit better than lemmys system at least from a technical perspective. But its a VERY minor one. Its nice we have multiple ways of getting to the same result-ish.
Hope that helps! I dont know everything but I know a little bit.

3·3 days agoIt would be VERY difficult. I have no idea what im looking for other than the delay or block. And im not seeing anything today. If you can give me an example, I can check in and reproduce. Otherwise its nettle/haystack.
It might very well be a bug.
I can see it being frustrating. But thats what community software is. The good news is that even just reporting the issue can help us all out!

4·3 days agoYep i can. Ive helped out on both lemmy, piefed, mastodon, gotosocial, peertube and others. Little things mind but yeah its my day job.
Theres a queue that is part of different instances. What can happen is posts/comments get backed up and the queue takes them all in. When an outage or slowdown happens it can bog down certain servers. Threadiverse (piefes/lemmy/mbin/etc…) up/down votes, comments, posts, etc… it gets slower as more instances connect to others. Its unfortunate but its part of the fediverse protocol. Piefed has some advances there, but it can still get bogged down sometimes.
Im not saying thats definitively what it is, but ive been on the other side of this phenomenon a couple of times when my lemmy and then later piefed instance had a new instance sync with it. Lemmy.world has had this issue for a while since its one of the biggest.
The way to test is to sent the instance in quesion a POST request with a comment OR use a known good instance (like piefed) and check the logs. It usually comes back with either a 200 immediately (which is good) or theres a HUGE delay.
Most of these instances are very much volunteer efforts.

2·3 days agoCan you elaborate? Arent blocks public via the admin logs in lemmy? In addition that info can be pulled from the api from any instance/fediverse protocol.
I can reproduce of need be since i have my own lemmy and piefed instance and have over 20 years of software development experience.

7·3 days agoI dont understand. Can you point to where in the code it has this? The algorithm/stack is open to anyone.

14·4 days agoHow would that work?
We are all on different instances. With different algorithms, technology, and differing filters. The code doesnt support what your saying.
