I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T430 that is by now almost 10 years old, it runs perfectly on Linux and is a fantastic choice even today. It's built like a tank and that Intel i5 powering it is immortal. DDR3 RAM is dirt cheap now and it takes up to 16Gb, you can swap its HDD to a SATA SSD (if not done already) and batteries for it are still cheap and plentiful.

If you're looking for something affordable for software dev, I can't think of a better choice for $200-$300

They really built this one right, they don't make them like this anymore.

This is a Lemmy-ui bug, not related to CDN/cache.

I had submitted a bug report for it some time ago but it's not that urgent in the great scheme of things so they didn't get around to it yet: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1865

(the report speaks about this happening after you log in, but it's the same thing).

Awesome project and the tool looks great - nice work!

There was an existing tool which was similar: https://federation-checker.vercel.app/

Yours is definitely nicer.

That project is a great find, thanks! A real time saver, I should have these marked up shortly.

I'll do some more thinking on how we represent Cloudflare instances in general, I think for the time being I may just include a short note for them as people will wonder why they're marked anyway.

Edit: This is now done, all Cloudflare instances marked and an explanation added.

Hey, thanks for your feedback. I like your idea of labeling Cloudflared services, reporting is indeed a bit tricky for those especially if they use "Always online" to serve cached copies while the instance is down. I have some ideas on how to combat that, but labeling them also makes sense.

I can add tags against services - I have done this for ani.social as a proof of concept, I think it works but I welcome feedback. Sorting through the entire list is a bit daunting and will take me a while, but I'll get there.

Manually adjusting availability is a can of worms that I don't want to open, I'd rather we try to find other ways to level the playing field.

I think you're one "active user" short of being back on there:

I believe you need 5 to be listed.

I've updated the post to include clickable URLs. Lesson learnt that I shouldn't rely on clients to treat domain names as links.

[–] delendum@lemdit.com 6 points 1 year ago

Thanks for your feedback. I like your idea, I'll have a look into what I can do to make it happen.

Absolutely!

It's just a play on words: Le(mmy) + Stat(us) or Le Stat(us)

I think it's short and easy to remember, the fact that it's also the name of a famous vampire is just a bonus.

Https HEAD requests - I find it yields accurate results for Lemmy and it's extremely light on bandwidth.

I like keeping across what is happening with other Lemmy instances so lestat.org was born out of this curiosity.

URL: https://lestat.org

It's similar to lemmy-status.org but with a few notable differences:

Criteria for adding instances to Lestat

I will add any instance to Lestat based on these prerequisites:

  • The instance is listed on join-lemmy.org
  • The instance doesn't host anything illegal in New Zealand

Free services for admins

If you are an instance admin, I can set you up with the following:

  • Automatic e-mail notifications when the status of your instance changes (e.g. it goes up or down).
  • An uptime badge for your instance in this style:

Send me a message if you'd like any of the above.

I hope you find Lestat useful!

Edit: Added clickable URL and expanded on free admin services to include badges.

It looks like lemmy.world had been hacked.

The instance has been defaced, the site is only intermittently accessible, sometimes it redirects to a random video or other nasty URLs

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOG INTO LEMMY.WORLD UNTIL THIS IS CLEARED UP AND OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS ARE MADE BY ITS ADMIN.

My recommendation is to stay away entirely for the time being and monitor other large instances for updates.

Edit: Please refer to https://lemmy.ml/post/1895271 or https://lemdit.com/post/44993 for further updates.
