I'm planning to upgrade to this version ASAP as we've been having some RAM issues in the DB recently which is causing the "daily hiccups". I can't promise this will fix it, but I can hope. Expect some short downtime in the near future.

EDIT: Done

All done. Unfortunately it seems tesseract doesn't like this version. I'll see if there's a workaround

Seems like tesseract doesn't like us :(

Holy shit. I thought it was just an API version mismatch! The turbolib dev literally hardcoded our instance into a blacklist! Guess we have to decommission that frontend now.

lmao what?

Interesting. I'm curious to know what their reasoning for that is

Well technically it was a downgrade from having our own special warning to a simple block, but yeah. I remembered reading that newer versions of Tesseract had flexible version support, so I was really surprised to see that message, had to check what was happening. I'm bummed tho, now I have to get used to a new UI :(

The commit I linked added dbzer0 to the same blacklist, removing a custom warning that said

"This instance and its admin staff encourages identity politics, groupthink, mob mentality, and extremist solutions to societal problems. Users who advocate violence are not moderated so long as the admins agree with the target.
Caution and critical thinking are advised when interacting with this instance or its users."

So probably something along those lines.

Well, tesseract is "fixed" now ;)

Announcement to follow

"extremism"

they have no idea how violent the status quo is do they?
