Thank you for bringing it back online, I was worried it might be down for a while! Welcome back :)

Nice to meet everyone by the way, I’m new to SDF, just getting to grips with stuff.

[–] scroll_responsibly@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 15 hours ago

It wasn’t me (I don’t work for SDF😅)… it was @SDF@lemmy.sdf.org!

I ended up watching some new anime. Ranma ½ (2024) is kind of bonkers, in a fun way.

SDF is a quirky instance, isn't it? It might go down once in a while, but at least to me, it feels more like a community system than some of the bigger instances. I love that it hasn't made Cloudflare an observer and gatekeeper of our Lemmy activities.

Hey, thanks for telling me about the Ranma ½ remake. I loved it as a teenager, looking forward to watch the remake.

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It's a top-tier remake. Gorgeous animation and lovingly faithful

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 9 hours ago

Yep. Watched a few episodes. It's great.

[–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

In that case, I think you'll appreciate the voice cast in this new adaptation.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I listened to my intrusive thoughts and filled a cheap fountain pen with (dye-based) printer ink.

I hoped for the darkest black, but it actually looks gray when used with a pen :(

But yeah, it works. It feathers and bleeds through a lot on cheap paper, but it works. By that I mean that it bleeds even through 120g/m^2^ printer paper. Maybe I could try drying it a bit first...
Might look good with cyan.

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Oh no. Now I'm thinking about whether I can make fountain pen ink work in my ecotank printer.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I doubt it.

Although, I guess ecotank will have piezoelectric nozzles since they're permanent, so there shouldn't be a problem with how it behaves under heat, but viscosity (if that's the right word) and particle size...

Sounds like a bad idea.

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 13 hours ago

Probably a terrible idea. I do also have a sacrificial HP in the garage to rip apart and try to implement a FOSS/OSHW controller for at some point. Maybe I'll try with that eventually, supposing I can hack together a nozzle.

Just finished chanting "S.D.F. come back" while kneeling inside a pentagram surrounded by stickers and magnetic tapes. Pretty good overall.

[–] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

But were they MATA stickers?

[–] scroll_responsibly@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I smoked a pack of these in anticipation:

Thank you for your service 🫡

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 14 hours ago

That picture always reminds me of a SysAdmin that I worked with a while back at a DC. He was an old school Perl and BSD guy and always smoked unfiltered rollies.

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 15 hours ago

a pentagram

Oh! That's why. It's SDF, not your neighborhood technodemons. Should have been a bigram, so that the machine spirits could understand without converting numerical bases.

[–] dadarobot@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I was just on my backup account on .ml There's some commandline tool i use to sync my subs between the two that runs on my server whenever i do monthly update/backup

[–] scroll_responsibly@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

That’s a cool idea… I should steal that! What’s the tool that you use?

[–] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

I suppose the server has to catch up now, right? There seems to be plenty of stale discussions.

[–] KITA@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, the newest thing I can see was 14 hours ago

[–] hobbsc@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 15 hours ago

Glad I didn't notice. Welcome back, all.

[–] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 16 hours ago

Welcome back, sdf family!

[–] plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 14 hours ago

I have decided that now is the time, finally, to read those Buffy and Angel comics.

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

I knew something was up as soon as I couldn't vote on anything. Good to be back.

[–] KITA@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Waiting for it to come back lol. Was this scheduled or is something going on?

[–] scroll_responsibly@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 16 hours ago

I couldn’t tell you because I don’t know, lol🤷‍♂️.

[–] coronach@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 14 hours ago

Snuggles and kisses 😘

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 15 hours ago

Mostly sleeping, handily.
