I gotta say Ernest, your handling of this whole situation has been above and beyond. It feels strange because even within the open source world, this kind of feedback and transparency isn't common. I feel ver comfortable staying here for the foreseeable future. Thank you!

Now I really have to get back to my tasks, as I still have a lot to do today. But tomorrow morning, I will answer your questions. Cheers!
Start with these questions: How are you doing? Are you eating well?
Nope, just drinking coffee.
as is tradition
Maybe you just said that by coincidence but I created a community for #SouthPark here: https://kbin.social/m/SouthPark
If you like the show please don't hesitate to suscribe.
Cheers, man! Make sure not to take too much into yourself! You've earned some rest.
Thanks for the update @ernest, I noticed that there's quite a few pull requests piling up on codeberg that requires your attention - will you be looking to merge these soon? Particularly the ones related to SQL injection seems like a high-priority: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls
He will address the PRs, but to ensure no bad code is added, it should be reviewed + tested, especially for security related issues.
Hopefully the situation will get better very soon and ernest will have more time to review the PRs and issues and fixes will start flowing. But it's his first major open source project, which got a lot of new users, so I can't blame him for moving cautiously.
Are there other maintainers charged with reviewing and merging code or just @ernest?
Next week, I also want to organize work on Codeberg.
Not to spread fear or anything, but if anyone here reuses their password from elsewhere, you may want to change it everywhere. Maybe @ernest could look through logs to see if the SQL injection has actually been exploited? I assume passwords are hashed and salted, but still...
@clb92 From next week, significant changes in terms of security will occur. I will keep that in mind.
I've tried following the docker guide multiple times now but keep failing when running it at the end in relation to no var folder and no vendor/Symfony.
Is there somewhere I can get some help with this or does anyone else have a better guide?
I suspect /m/FuckingFascists is probably going to get kbin defederated from everywhere, which is clearly their intent :(
eta: Ugh, there's a whole slew of magazines they're using under the pretense of being roleplay kink, horrible, and definitely going to end up causing friction IMO.
@ernest You should also have an IRC room, too.
There's Matrix already, no need to fragment things further.
Hey @ernest, I bought you a couple of coffees from your About page link and I've invited others to do the same. But is that enough? How do you handle all this traffic? Is buymeacoffe.com your only revenue source for this project? Anyway, keep up the good work and thank you for your frequent updates and open dialogue.
Cool! Just to clarify, are you handing the kbin.social instance itself off to someone else, or only the server hosting/maintenance aspects of it?
I suspect also I speak for many when I say you've done a stellar job so far of responding to an unpredictable explosive increase in users. Thank you!
I think he means he's switching server hosts. not necessarily handing off administration of the instance.
Yes, he's been focusing on performance and stability and almost nothing on code, he will hand over that responsibility so he can focus on code
I imagine if he brought on another individual who'd be doing moderating/adminning he'd say who it was lol.
Keep kicking ass dude 🤘
