Mastodon: @confusedbunny
Yes, my Mastodon username mentions bunnies, yet the bunny avatar is on this profile, and the Lemming which might indicate Lemmy (this is Kbin, but I am subbed to Lemmy communities) is over there. Don’t question.

Lemmy: @i_am_not_a_robot
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.
I realised some time back that my first name backwards made me sound like a knight. I’ve failed to utilise this in usernames except maybe once.
Probably, hopefully they’ll sign up with one of the roaming schemes.
Stuffed Fables, or The Adventures Of Robin Hood (not played the latter but I believe it’s a similar adventure gamebook system)
Chaos is a brilliant multiplayer turn-based strategy game.
Lemmings is the perfect puzzle game (also shameless plug for !lemmings)
…which I see now are local links with /c/ so not the issue we’re discussing here!
The ones in !trendingcommunities
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.
Deep Sea Adventure
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.
Turns out that’s not a full IE 5.5 package. The full ones are available here:

I think Kbin converted it to a full link! Should have created this thread with Lemmy really (btw, Chris/floppy in this thread is also me)
I was sent this fruit cake as a thank you for some software I wrote, back in the 2000s. It’s from a famous fruit cake place in USA (I forget where now) and was delicious.

Everything.
The dev does plan to open source it I believe.
