> > > In 1974, a brand new technology called teletext was being rolled out. It would, over the next few decades, have far-reaching implications, not only in the UK but worldwide. These are the stories of those involved in the production, restoration and art of the blocky medium that graced UK TV screens until 2012. You’ll hear from the pioneers, those who made teletext tick, and the newcomers keeping the medium alive 50 years after its inception. This is a social record of teletext, and these are the teletext people. > >

Shame, but understandable. I'd pretty much come to the same conclusion that the interface and concept is really nice, but the backend just isn't working properly. I've migrated most of my communities off already due to issues.
**TL;DR: Please resubscribe to [!britishcomedy](https://feddit.uk/c/britishcomedy) / [@britishcomedy](https://feddit.uk/c/britishcomedy)** --- When I joined Kbin/Fedia back in June I was optimistic that it would surpass Lemmy in every way. I still prefer the interface, but because it's early days for it there isn't (quite yet) an API for running 3rd party apps and bots. So I signed up for Lemmy a month or so later and then discovered Connect, and I've been using that more and more and Kbin less and less. It didn't really matter that some of my magazines (as Kbin calls them) were on Fedia as I could still monitor them from Lemmy and then log in if any moderation needed to be done (you can assign Lemmy users as mods but they can't do anything), right? Well, it appears not. I [discovered a bug](https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/875) which means posts to a Kbin magazine don't federate properly unless somebody on the host instance interacts with them. The bug has gained no traction at all even though I've proved it happens, and I'm getting increasingly frustrated with having to log in to Kbin just to upvote everything to get it to push articles and comments out to other subscribers. Especially as I have no way of knowing something is waiting until I log in... So, the upshot of this is I'm moving this community/magazine to feddit.uk (arguably where it should have been originally but I wasn't familiar with Lemmy at the point I created it). I'm still optimistic for Kbin's future but the backend needs to improve! Please re-subscribe using whichever of the following works for you: * [!britishcomedy](https://feddit.uk/c/britishcomedy) * [!britishcomedy](/c/britishcomedy@feddit.uk) * [@britishcomedy](https://feddit.uk/c/britishcomedy) * [https://feddit.uk/c/britishcomedy](https://feddit.uk/c/britishcomedy)

Yeah, it's a bit dead round there. Looks like there are a few rapids in Rhyl - and a big mostly 7kW hub which might be useful if you spend the day there.

Where abouts in North Wales? There are a few good spots - probably one of the better ones is the open-to-all Tesla Superchargers in Flint, and there's a bank of Instavolts at a farm shop... can't remember the name of the place off hand.

Apologies, I didn't know this, I just thought it was served on a subdomain for some random reason and it didn't matter. I'll ensure my links are "clean" in future 🙂

Yes, this doesn't make sense. How I thought it worked is that the originating server would push the new article to the home instance, and the other instances then pull from there (or the home server pushes; whatever, same net effect). If that isn't how it works, I don't see how it can work, as every server which posts to a magazine would need to know who subscribes to it. Certainly in the case of Mastodon, it doesn't have a concept of this, yet can post to communities/magazines and the comments federate out (maybe comments work differently though? There doesn't appear to be a problem with comments as far as I can tell)

Most links have been working fine for me recently, although I still occasionally see this error. However, it appears that links to kbin magazines don't work at all. I suspect Connect is searching for server/c/community and not retrying with server/m/community when it gets an error back.

When I was in local government, they had a load of old sevrers - all sorts of things, most of which I couldn't identify. There was a mainframe system which was heavily used via Wyse terminals - I'm not sure if it was actually running on a mainframe still at that point, but they definitely had some as I had to change all the backup tapes in lots of server rooms in the building. All sorts of things with what looked like reel to reel tapes in them. Shame even camera phones weren't a thing (this was in early 2000s) or I'd have taken lots of photos. There were some Sun boxes as well.
