ah, understandable. i'm a EE by day and all of the coding i contribute to Mbin is purely for fun with no bearing on real-life, so my github profile is expendable/only for Mbin. ;-)
if you can, please create an issue for this specific problem at https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues if one doesn't already exist or thumbs-up/add a comment to an existing one so it gets visibility. broad fediverse compatibility is one of our main project goals, but not all platforms conform to the AP spec (or it's not addressed by the spec) and instead do their own thing, so it sounds like we'll need to work out a common ground.
no, we maintainers (~6 active out of 13 total) have full merge power and admin rights over the repo, all it takes is 1 other maintainer to approve a PR for it to be eligible to get merged into our main branch... C4 ftw https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/blob/main/C4.md.
holy shit, the first one was at Morey's!? TIL growing up I was riding the OG gravitron... nice!
Hmm, do you have the "Hide NSFW content" setting enabled in your profile (picture attached)? Otherwise NSFW should load just fine. If it's a magazine that hasn't been subscribed to by any other kbin.run user, then it might take a few iterations of federation to take place before any content starts appearing after subscribing. You should see a banner at the top of the magazine warning of lack of subscribers/content if so.
The only NSFW policy I have in place is that NSFW content must be tagged 18+ and comply with all US laws.
TSMC
edit: downvote all you want, the fundamental circuit level design is not in question here... it's how you make the damn thing and TSMC can do it better. intel talks a big game yet continues to fail on delivering any of it. i'll believe half of what they say when i see it... and it helps that good ol' uncle sam is helping them out, they're gonna need it.
Might be a silly question, but can you make sure the kbin.run sidebar on your end is showing subscribed? Even though Mbin shows the total subscriber count, it won't matter unless a local user is subscribed to the magazine in question for federation to take place. Also, if incremental.social is not on the latest main branch of Mbin the DMs won't federate, it'll be officially supported in the next release.
I checked fedia.io and it also is showing the last update about a week ago, leading me to believe it's an issue with incremental.social. I'd recommend using their contact form if you can find it.
we haven't touched that code from /kbin where the only way to request ownership of a magazine is if the original owner has abandoned the platform... honestly, i forget what the "timeout" is but its on the order of weeks/months. you can see the current abandoned magazines at https://kbin.run/magazines/abandoned.
if you send me a DM from your old account with current ownership status, i can manually assign your new account to be the owner of the magazine(s). and if you don't mind (or one of the devs can do) can you submit a feature request at https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues/new/choose so a proper implementation can be introduced? thankya!
hard to say for sure, but U109 and U208 could be UART into those Cisco baseband or radio chips. one placement for the 2.4 GHz (G) and 5 GHz (A), respectively. would be interesting to probe around there and see if you get a serial interface to it... obviously for extra credit ;-)
didn't Verizon overbuild most, if not all, of the area with FiOS? not sure how they're getting away with it in the rural regions unless there are still CLECs operating. All this to say... fiber still has the issue of power outages and nonfunctioning customer backup batteries in the ONTs and I vaguely remember some drama over Verizon not offering replacement batteries or providing backups at all.
undergrad C/C++ background, PHP is a cakewalk by comparison :-)
