Cool! This might be a prompt for an AMA on the backup strategy you use.
I would really like to know how you manage all that data.

edit: of course, when things will have settled down a bit!

Hey there! Thanks for your work.
It sucks, the fire was really unexpected and unwanted. I hope your server was in another building.

the…what? how. Just how.

It came out in 2002. In friggin 2002.
Why the hell did they have to take it down.
I may be wrong but I don’t think it brings them any revenue anymore, that’s just out of pettyness.

I haven’t done extensive researches on this topic, apart from opening articles from different sites and comparing the content, but I’m pretty sure up to this point anything hydrogen-derived used as fuel doesn’t scale up well when comparing production/storage/transport costs to energy output.

While, if true, the fact that this powerpaste material is a giant leap forward for secure storage and transport, I’ve seen on a couple other sites that there’s still some concern regarding production.
Does the yelded energy surpass the amount of work spent while heating and simultaneously compressing the goo?

I have another doubt as well. If the paste needs water to react and produce energy, how much water is needed?
Like, would I need a 50 liters tank in an hypotetical goo-powered car to travel a significant distance? Or is the amount of required water so small that it justifies the affirmation made on usage for drones?

I really hope we can find an alternative to classic fuels, but I would like it to be better than the actual sources, not worse, for the environment.

I can’t guarantee anything, but maybe in a couple of months I’ll have time to look into it.

That’s unfortunate. Would it be possible to have a nojs alternative tag?
If not, it’s ok, I can still enable javascript or use alternative ways ('till now I’ve been using my bookmarks script to append url parameters when giving me the link)

Congratulations!
It’s a whole new step forward!

Thanks for your explanation, I was curious!

Ok, that’s good then.
What happens in the other direction? I mean, If a post with a more strict filter appears on a less filtered server.
Do the words remain censored?

However, say I write a word in instance A.

Instance A appears to be very open and accepting of the use of commonly blocked words as the n-word, for whatever reason.
Instance A is also federated with instance B, which blocks the n-word.

What happens If a post containing the n-word appears on B homepage?

If I recall correctly, in the github issue about the words filter it was said the ones blocked are replaced when accepting the post/comment, and not while retrieving it to be viewed.
This means that if no other checks happen, the n-word would pop up in B homepage without any problems, right?

Or have you already tought about it and fixed this case?

(I know B could just block A, but what if the filter is changed after they accepted to be federated together, to block a new word for example? This is the situation I’m imagining)

Gosh, that must feel awful to type.
In my head it’s comparable to driving on a bumpy road. I’m calling it “bumpy case”

Yeah that’s what I’m doing as of now.
Mostly because even though I am curious about the post and what it could say, I don’t have a tool which translates persian to english, nor italian.
I know there’s google translate, but I try using deepl or other alternatives whenever I can (google can screw itself for so many reasons).

For the filter, nutomic said this in another comment.

I agree on the first part and I also fail to understand how a user unable to understand a language can become moderator for a community speaking it. It sounds so unreal, yet so real due to real life examples.

Apart from that, theorically speaking, if no restriction was put in place and it was confirmed, upon asking, that I could post in any language I want in any of the comms, then I could probably ignore an admin telling me to stop just because he can’t understand.
I know I could be a dick, but why should I stop? I might not get any reply today, but get one the next week.

…and I just realised that takes me back to the starting point.

My feeds mostly consist of local news, web comics and some random blogs and podcasts.
