However, it was pretty jarring when I heard them play a song I distinctly remember hearing on the radio as a kid riding in the back of the van getting dropped off for 1st grade (or some such young age)
Shit, I remember tuning in to KLOS (So Cal classic rock) a while back and being super confused as to why they were playing Nirvana. As Bob Dylan said, “The times, they are a-changin”
Don’t get me started on XM/Sirius/whatever
Most stations, despite a live DJ (I think), play the same 40-50 songs all day everyday, often on the same timetable. So if you heard say Free Bird at 2pm, you’ll hear it the following day at the same time within 20ish min. And I’d imagine every station is like this.
It came free in my truck for a year, sweet. The only reason I kept it was because I was able to keep swinging the $6/month thing, and I really only want to tune into the Dead channel whenever I please, and only because Lemieux has an excellent rotation of live shows. But even they play the same studio cuts at the same time of day. If it weren’t for the fact that I’m still rebuilding my music server, I’d likely have dropped them, but still, any mainstream radio service is pretty much poopy.
The rickroll forever evolves
Maybe? Unless the mods migrate that community to a new instance, I’m guessing so. I’m wagering this is the first time a sizable instance has shut down, so it’d seem we’re all learning together.
Really just posts and comments. See I was under the impression that posts and comment threads copied across instances as well, but now I’m wondering if that’s not the case?
I don’t think that’s how it works though. I believe once the server shutdown, our old profiles vanished with it, aside from posts and comments made on other instances. I can search my old name (bobs_monkey@lemm.ee) and some stuff comes up, but clicking on my username results in an error.
It appears that while content federates across instances, posts and their associated comment threads are tied to that instance. If the instance shuts down, that post is gone.
Edit: so I can see that some users were able to move their profiles while retaining their [user]@lemm.ee, which becomes [newlemmyurl]/u/[user]@lemm.ee, so, shit. It also appears that communities were able to migrate in the same manner. It’s all good, too late now I suppose. Hopefully the lemme.ee admins have backups and someone can take up the mantle.
Wait really? I know there were tools to move subscriptions and whatnot, but I didn’t see anything about being able to move comments and posts across.
Much obliged. I’ve actually been here about 2 years since the Reddit API fiasco but was originally on lemm.ee, and well, yeah lol. I’d wager that’s the bulk of new accounts for the last few weeks.
Well damn, Jackie, I can’t control the weather
It’s where the moths get their chill
The picture yeah, but I remember my dad and a lot of others had that same style of glasses (though with thinner frames) well into the mid 90s.
The 90s were weird, and these style glasses everyone wore didn’t help.
I have a custom domain set up on proton for my business, and I haven’t had issues either. My personal @protonmail.con address hasn’t had problems. I think this is typically an issue when setting up a local mail server, and gas something to do with security certs.
Well that’s a shitty thing to say
