Trying to figure out the museum I went to as a kid in Chicago in the summer of 1999 - Maybe someone can help? (tucson.social)
 

So, back when I was about 9/10 ish (1999) I remember going to museum with my grandparents that contained a few key things that stood with me over 2 decades later.

The first, and creepiest was an animatronic of a homeless/drug addict in an alley or on a bench. This is the "anchor" memory, it's hard to forget such a creepy thing.

The second was a more hands on focused kids area where I spent a majority of my time.

The last was a restaurant with some TVs installed around the eating area somewhere in the building - I distinctly seeing ads for the new Tarzan movie, so I'm thinking this was the summer of 99ish.

It could also have been the Chicago Childrens Museum, but when looking at older pictures absolutely nothing stands out to me as memorable - additionally they don't have any on-site restaurants that I can recall.

After lots of internet sleuthing, I think but can't confirm, that it is the Museum of Science and Industry. Some of the pictures of some of the exhibits seem really familiar.

I suppose the key thing preventing my brain from saying "This is the one" is lack of anyone else mentioning such an animatronic at any of these places.

I asked my grandma, but she's pretty deep in dementia and doesn't really recall those experiences anymore. ๐Ÿ˜ข

So /c/Chicago, are any of you old enough to remember such an exhibit from 99? If so, what museum was that?

Paramount+ is the place!

For physical media, I noticed I could find all the films and the first season of Strange New Worlds in Ultra HD at Best Buy.

I also find entire collections on DVD and HD (non 4K) Blu Ray at used places like Zia Records (the only national chain I can think of) and other similar stores with used movies.

Done! Thanks for the reminder, I'm deep in trying to get users onboarded and such and probably would've forgot!

Double-Update: Suddenly it's working again? I think using Incognito sessions to test might be causing the issue... This time I also used a "plus" email for more uniqueness (while using the same inbox).

EDIT: NOPE! Nvm, it was because email validation was disabled that things were working. As soon as I enabled it again, I got a different error. Which has me suspect that the bug I was experiencing earlier is a result of the following condition.

  1. The user creation transaction doesn't back out on SMTP failure, thereby preventing the creation of the account due to the aforementioned constraint issue.

Ah, sorry, yes, context:

The bug I think I'm impacted by - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2955

The error I'm getting:

panicked at 'couldnt create local user: DatabaseError(UniqueViolation, "duplicate key value violates unique constraint "local_user_email_key"")', crates/db_schema/src/impls/local_user.rs:157:8

The user_email value is indeed different, ( I have a handful that I'm using to test) and this occurs no matter what I try. Even disabling email verification didn't seem to help.

I'm using the official docker instructions, and everything else appears to function perfectly - and my initially created user has no problem interacting with with the app. Heck, I'm using my instance to communicate with y'all.

And for the love of god, can we PLEASE document the fixes we're finding along the way.

I'm currently impacted by the user registration bug that relates to user constraints in the DB - and it's completely ruining what would be an amazing launch. However, apparently some other server owners have it working! Buuuuuttt, no one is posting their secrets - and it's really hampering my ability to deliver this instance.

So, please, someone explain how I fix this issue and get a working instance.

Do I need to roll back? If so, what version? Do I need to run some PSQL? Do I need to patch some Rust?

EDIT: SUCCESS!

Here is the sacred knowledge for my particular situation.

It was half PEBKAC and half bug -

The PEBKAC - If using protonmail SMTP - you'll need 'starttls' for it to work.

If SMTP is broken in this way, it seems to cause a bug in user creation that will essentially create partial data that would prevent user creation with the same name from occuring again. You can use a "plus" address (ie [email protected]) to work around this in the meantime.
