Bitcoin Cash Explodes 100% Weekly as BTC Looks for Direction (Market Watch) (cryptopotato.com)
The market is in search of direction following last week's explosive movements. Some coins, however, are defying the sentiment.
TIL that Lemmy.ml is actively blocking user-agent string kbin
One of the main instances of Lemmy (lemmy.ml) is blocking 'kbinbot' user agent requests on their instance. Basically, they are blocking kbin instances. This is not a bug, but on purpose....
Updated to latest develop branch
Kbin is actively in development. Almost each day Ernest will merge multiple PRs. I'll keep this instance as much as up-to-date as possible. So you will get the latest improvements and fixes as soon as possible.

Did thumbnal images disappear for anyone else? (kbin.social)
I noticed yesterday there seemed to be fewer and fewer thumbnail images appearing on the front page, and today there seems to be almost none at all. The ones I have seen so far seem to be from posts on this instance only, but I can't confirm that with certainty yet....
Is Lemmy searchable like reddit? (www.theverge.com)
Lemmy.ml is blocking all requests from /kbin Instances (kbin.social)
I discovered yesterday evening that Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances. Specifically, a 403 'access denied' is returned when the user agent contains "kbinBot" anywhere in the string. This has been causing a cascade of failures with federation for many server owners, flooding the message...
Random Account Suspension
Title is pretty much it. Woke up this morning to an email in the inbox with a reddit message notification from u/reddit...
Microsoft wants to move Windows fully to the cloud (www.theverge.com)
If this happens, will it be a mass exodus to Linux/Mac? Or will people just live with it? The fact that the Steam Deck has shown great promise in playing games on Linux has made me reconsider Windows yet again.
/kbin test environments (kbin.social)
Hi, new test instances are now available. The previous frontend changes were mostly cosmetic. But now I would like to take a closer look at a few bigger things, like this. However, maintaining compatibility with your styles is very important to me. I also invite you to discuss and review in pull requests :) Cheers!...

Change look & feel kbin
Don't forget you can change the look & feel of kbin. Go to the setting (gear icon) menu. And try out all the options....
Reduced bitrate on YouTube?
I notice just recently that Youtube is lowering the quality of the videos (bitrate), and I need to buy Youtube premium to upgrade the bitrate. Sure they claim they don't touch the bitrate for free users, but I can see the difference......

/kbin server update - or how the server didn't blow up (kbin.social)
Currently, on the main instance, people have created 40191 accounts (+214 marked as deleted). I don't know how many are active because I don't monitor it, but once again, I greet all of you here :) In recent days, the traffic on the website has been overwhelming. It's definitely too much for the basic docker-compose setup,...

My post on /r/pics blew up. (kbin.social)
I find it kinda funny that my most upvoted post is John Oliver. It shows how much he is a symbol for the protest against the api.
/kbin contribution and information for instance owners (kbin.social)
The search form has been fixed (if you were experiencing this issue). This time, the Docker recreate may take a bit longer. Moving forward, when making changes, I will create pull requests like everyone else and ask for your review. Sorry for the inconvenience. Soon, the first tagged release will also be available. It's time to...
Thank you so much for your support! 😍 (kbin.social)
I just saw an email from Buy Me a Coffee. Not just one. I went in, and I'm truly shocked. Thank you all for the support; I would like to thank each and every one of you individually someday. Honestly, I don't know what to say. The account balance is $350, which will definitely allow me to develop kbin faster or at least not...
