Quark's

Salutations. After lurking around and reading posts for a few weeks, I have just created an account on this instance. Mostly, the experience has been good, but I am having one major issue: Shaka when the walls fell with two-factor authentication. When I press the button in my account settings, I receive the error couldnt_generate_totp. When looking in the Javascript console, I found the following occurred every time I pressed the button:

POST https://startrek.website/api/v3/user/totp/generate 400 (Bad Request)

I received a 404 when navigating to that URL. Is the API for generating TOTP keys not set up on this server? I am concerned about any count where I am unable to properly set up two-factor authentication, and I would be pleased if this difficulty could be rectified. Anyhow, glory to the houses of all involved in maintaining this server as an alternative bastion of Star Trek discussion on the internet.

@quarks

I just noticed today that old.startrek.website isn't loading properly. The fact that zero people have said anything to the admins makes me wonder if anyone's using it at all. So speak up if you are! I will be happy to fix it for you, but otherwise may just uninstall.

EDIT: It's fixed, we'll leave it for now

It'd be nice to see Memory Alpha make the same move...

With everyone paying tons of money for streaming services, it seems like no one is taking about other options.

I watch Star trek on live TV via a Jellyfin instances connected to a HDhomerun. I can watch it in bed from my phone and since its DRM free I can record it for later. Admittedly it only is in 480p but for a display the size of my phone it looks fine.

The channel I watch it on: (H&I)

If you have a normal TV with over the air channels you also should be able to receive it in the US.

You may need to clear cache/cookies for the login bug to fix itself but a "hard" refresh might do the trick too.

Also our hosting provider (and so by extension us) has been certified by the green web foundation. Neat!

Thought there may be some overlap between the F4 and Trek fandoms. I'm over the MCU overall, but as a life long F4 fan I might check this out if I hear its decent. Poster looks promising, dig the retro vibes and the team being presented as a family. Pascal seems like an odd pick for Reed Richards, but the rest of the main cast looks good. Can't be worse then the movies we've already gotten!

I'm honestly kind of thrilled, I assumed DC vs. Marvel and Amalgam would be lost to the dustbin of history.

Link to post, cool of @StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website to summon him.

Great archival footage and info

The reported m.o. for Allen would be to sell the Paramount film studio, real estate and IP.

This will take place ~24 hours from now. Feel free to post and upvote questions beforehand in this post, as it will turn into the AMA tomorrow.

This is a chance for any users, admins, or developers to ask anything they'd like to myself, @nutomic@lemmy.ml , @SleeplessOne1917@lemmy.ml , or @phiresky@lemmy.ml about Lemmy, its future, and wider issues about the social media landscape today.

We had been waiting at 0.18.5 for a while because 0.19 came with some federation bugs (and obviously it would be extremely embarrassing if this instance had issues in that department).

The biggest changes for users are a new scaled sorting method that should prioritize posts from smaller communities (no more Risa dominating the entire feed), the ability for users to block whole instances, and the ability to import/export accounts with other instances (or just back up your account).

Also I'd like to apologize for the downtime; we expected this to be a simple update taking only a few minutes, so I didn't post an alert in advance, but then were some issues that caused us to go offline for several hours.

Lastly, after the update I found I had to clear my browser cache/cookies in order to log in, similarly, users using apps have been reporting they needed to remove and re-add their accounts. You may find you need to do that too!

EDIT: The app Liftoff has a bug preventing login on any Lemmy instance over v0.19.0

EDIT 2: We've updated to 0.19.3, mostly just bugfixes in this one.
