I get this has been frustrating and the communication has basically been non-existent, but reading some of these threads and comments I wonder why none of YOU have backup hosts to fail-over to during an outage. At my last sys admin job 90% of our business was done online. If our main host was down for like 30 seconds we updated our DNS to point to our backup site.
Since my last thread was locked with no resolution and mods don't seen to mind reposts of common topics I'm creating another.
MODS: Ban ALL AI posts. You should also ban engagment baiters and karmer farmers like /u/TheOneYSHNK
Here is an example: https://old.reddit.com/r/tolkienfans/comments/1vd0epe/if_you_were_tolkien_how_would_you_have_solved_the/
These posts are by bots and karma farmers are increasing, ruining the sub (and reddit) and will not stop until you all wake up and do something about it.
it's time. please take action now before it gets worse
Never seen him live. I had no idea how hilarious he is. Be happy to see him back next year. Friday headliner?
And maybe a weekly "look at my dashboard" thread. And can we also get an AI built project thread so we can easily avoid the endless slop that is seemingly posted in this sub?
And instead of removing these posts can you listen to the users??
PS - most of the mods here are not reddit active. Which means the few remaining cannot effectively moderate this sub. Until you resolve this the quality this sub is going to continue to go down like all the other subs that refuse to read the room.
I see comments often about "who would use youtube as a source??" We aren't all obsessed with high quality flac files. I download from youtube all the time. And even from Daily Motion and other similar sources. There's tons of live material that does not have any type of release anywhere. I've found old albums i couldn't find on usenet and soulseek. I've found bootlegs that I used to own, lost at some point, thought they were gone forever.
There's a music festival i go to every summer and there are always lots of great quality crowd video posted in the days after. This fest always has tons of great collabs that dont happen anywhere else and they never put out any official release. So I download from YouTube and convert.
editing to add: i don't think some of you understand that youtube is possibly the only source for some of these recordings. and when you talk about "well, its good enough for now" - no, it's good enough period because unless you reach out to the person that held the camera and got the original file from them this is the only option. think mcfly!
I noticed the account that was spamming most MA,CT, & RI subs with flyers deleted their account. So I googled for updates about the dog:
You should be able to read this without a FB account (I dont have one)
The text:
> Maisie, a 40-pound English Bulldog, was found dead in a nearby pond after a group of volunteers assembled a search party. She had been snatched on a trail in the woods in Saugus earlier in the week. The foster dog was being walked with other dogs, some of which were routinely off their leashes at a particular location along the trail, when a male appeared ahead on the trail, snatched the dog, and took off. Saugus, Lynnfield, and State Police responded and conducted an area search. > An autopsy is being performed on the dog. The investigation is still active. The dog required medication, but there is no indication that it is tied to the cause of death. > Further details will not be known until after the autopsy.
I still say there is more to the story.
Edit/addition:
from boston25news > > On Wednesday morning, Sofie Ellis-Esty said she was walking Maise, who she is fostering and seven other dogs, all off leash on a trail along Hawkes Pond.
So this person had eight off leash dogs on a trail in a city that requires all dogs to be leashed?
