Thank you very much for those insights!!

Would you give your perspective anyway, as I would be quite interested, although I'm not the one you talked to?

Isn't spraying with poison the more cruel way to kill it?
Either it will die during an immediate fight for life or bring the poison to the nest, where all of them slowly die.

Because of all the nice feedback about OpenSUSE:
SUSE was my first (bought) Linux distribution, at a time when I would have spent days downloading an ISO, SUSE was available with a manual in store. That was nice.

But then I had an AVM Fritz! ISDN card and it was a complete shit show to get this working. Especially as YAST(2?) didn't support the configuration I needed, but every time you opened it, it would overwrite your manual changes in some configuration files.
(Edit: I'll probably need to add, that this was like 25 years ago. So besides "fuck, I'm old", my perspective in SUSE is very probably not up-to-date)

After that I hopped through a few distros and mostly stayed with basic Debian.

Nowadays I'm mostly using Manjaro (or just Arch itself, if I don't need X), because I like the Arch package system and actually also the whole system architecture... Don't exactly know what it is, but I feel much more at home.
With apt I sometimes found myself in situations, where a fresh install will resolve things faster than trying to restore/save the system. With Arch I always was somehow able to restore everything.

Can someone tell me how Tumbleweed differs/excels?
Thanks in advance!
Currently waiting for my new laptop (Framework 16 :-D) and that would be a nice opportunity to try something new.
But as I need my device for work, it's important to me, that I really have it under my control and am not depending on some half-baked configuration utility like YAST was.

Edit: I'm also playing with the thought of moving to something immutable. NixOS looked nice in concept, but the more I read about it, the more I see that it's more suitable for more server than my laptop - but maybe I'm wrong here, as I don't have any hands-on experience

it seems, when there is a load issue for the comments of a post, I'm just getting shown the comments of the previously opened post.

Which is pretty confusing ;⁠-⁠)

anyone else or is it just me?

hi all!

I do see the correct amount of posts in the overview, but the posts screen itself is empty.

not sure if this is a Jerboa issue or one of the Sopuli instance

thanks!

edit: thanks to burgersc12 & jcreazy I tried toggling the "Show read posts" option and although it was originally activated, after reactivating I can now see me own posts again :⁠-⁠D
so, problem solved - but the behaviour was still very strange

well, ironically I try to solve this with creating a post. but also my profile shows, that I never created any posts. not sure if this is a Sopuli issue :⁠-⁠\

is it just me?

edit: ok, at least at Sopuli/local it's working. strange thing

sounds a bit stupid, but since the last update I do get answers to my comments in my messages, but I can't directly answer them, or I don't find the correct button for that

now I go to to the original thread, search for my comment, scroll through the answers, pick the one I wanted to reply to and then I can answer

I'm not sure, if I'm just to bind/stupid, but earlier I somehow had that option - IIRC

can anyone tell me, if I do something wrong here?

preface: it seems pictures made with the Pixel 7 Pro aren't shown correctly as an image post, but only in the post body or comment, when inserted.

as it seems that it's not the file size, I've now cleaned the meta data from the image with 'exiftool -all=remove'

edit: surprisingly that didn't work. here the link to the uploaded image:

as changing the exif data didn't help, I try to find a upper size limit of the file

shared the image through 'Scrambled EXIF'

ok, that seems to not work...

seems pictures from my Pixel 7 Pro don't show correctly on the post header (only works in the body)

this image was run through signal to get some compression and meta data removed - so should work now as well

hi all!

this is kinda a test post/help request/bug report

I tried to post an image to [email protected], which is then uploaded to the local instance (sopuli). link itself is working, but the preview/thumbnail in the post isn't showing up and the image isn't accessible that way.

I tried through Jerboa and now through the web frontend, but no luck either.

posts:
https://sopuli.xyz/post/638272
https://sopuli.xyz/post/638296

so, I'll try to post another picture of Loki to try if it's because of the remote instance or whatever is happening.

if anyone has an idea... I'm running out of them

edit: ok, at least for me the image doesn't show either. is this just me or anyone else having the same issue?

edit 2: I've made a successful test of an image post, that wasn't created with my Pixel 7 Pro and that one shows without issue
https://sopuli.xyz/post/639940
I guess, I'm hitting a limit somewhere or maybe some meta data causes a hiccup. size wise the images aren't really big (1.5MB, 1.8MB). so, not really sure what the issue could be

edit 3: well, I've tried 'Scrambled EXIF' and 'Exif Eraser' and at least that didn't change a thing. when I let the image through Signal, where AFAIK EXIF data gets removed and also done compression is done, I can post the image.

edit 4: to verify it's the file size, I tried now with a downloaded hd picture (3.5MB) and that one doesn't show either. here is the test post: https://sopuli.xyz/post/640216
maybe it's not even a limit on the file size, but a transmission timeout?

I think this is currently the end of my testing, as I can't think of much more test cases.

edit 5: nope, large picture just took more time and shows correctly bitte. must be something with the Pixel 7 Pro

Hi all!

I tried to attach a image directly to a post, but although the link seems to ok (at least it works inside the comment body as a link), it isn't loaded or shown in the thumbnail

said post:
https://sopuli.xyz/post/638272

did I do something wrong or is anyone else having similar problems?

thanks!
