Is the user aware that the data they synchronize to their car, a machine that they own, is sold by the car manufacturer to advertisers? Do they explicitly agree to the selling of their data, when selecting what connectivity they want?
Can you blame the user for making a choice, when they're not told the consequences of that choice?
Interesting, I did not expect them to meet SIL4 standards, that's not an easy achievement.
It should also be noted that the post will only appear on that kbin instance, and no other instances.
I'm not sure I'd classify it as a bug. Instances can temporarily go down at any moment for numerous reasons, to account for this instances will keep retrying to connect with an exponential backoff. At what point should an instance assume that another instance is permanently gone?
Perhaps a good start would be adding a status indicator to every community with something like last sync: 1 minute ago.
You can see that an instance/community is gone by visiting the instance directly. In this case at https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/imaginarymechas (which obviously won't work now, as it's gone).
Whenever you submit a post to a community, first your own instance saves the post locally, then sends it to the instance hosting the community, this instance then sends it to any other instance with users subscribed to the community. When the hosting instance is down, then that step of course fails, resulting in the post being only visible to members of your own instance.
Mattermost, it might not be the best feature-wise, but it's open source, and a university can host it's own server with SSO
This is just an educated guess, but could it possibly mean that it couldn't create your post?
Does the People(Vec) even work if you don't specify the type inside the Vec?
Can't you just use the get_or_init method instead of get inside the push_log method? This would initialize the cell on first use. You'd still need a Mutex inside of it to acquire a mutable reference to the vector.
To add on to this, if you're using some random RAM stick picked out of the gutter, then it might be worth it to run memtest86+. Bad RAM sectors can give some weird unpredictable issues.
Yes, but windows is an entire operating system, with an antivirus included
Maybe I'm too European to understand your point, but my phone selling my call and message history would be just as outrageous.
