  • Hi there!

    So, I’ve investigated this problem many times, and in the case of your example post its the same issue I’ve seen before.

    On your instance (mander.xyz), the image is not available. As an example, try to load the following link (in your browser):

    https://mander.xyz/post/15080092 (MUST OPEN IN BROWSER)

    As you can see the image is broken, because the image is not cached on mander.xyz, and also the original link is broken.

    However, when you tap the “link” button in Voyager you are viewing the post on feddit.org where the image is cached. That’s why this works:

    https://feddit.org/post/538582 (MUST OPEN IN BROWSER)

    This also explains why the image works for some people and not others. Because at some point the original image link broke, and some instances had the image cached by then, but not others.

    That’s also why usually the image will work on the origin server (in this case, feddit.org). Because the image was originally posted there, and that server was the first one to cache it (before the origin image broke).

    I’ve thought about some workarounds for this scenario. Voyager could theoretically request the post payload from the origin lemmy instance (AP URL) and then use that cached image URL. However, this reduces privacy somewhat because your lemmy app is now connecting to an arbitrary lemmy instance.

    Maybe it will be a setting in the future.

    As others said, other apps are also affected by this issue because it’s not a Voyager specific issue.

    Another side note, this could potentially be fixed in Lemmy backend. Lemmy devs could fetch the cached image from the upstream Lemmy server instead of using the original image URL, if it is broken.

    Edit: I made a request in Lemmy issue tracker. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4899

















  • you own the airspace up to the highest point of your property

    Nope. Part 103 pilots often fly inches off the ground and it’s totally legal- usually farm fields. This is called class G airspace and extends from surface to 700 or 1200 ft AGL. The United States government has exclusive sovereignty of airspace in the US from the surface up, and any citizen has the right of transit through that airspace.

    they quite literally are recording constantly. how else can they detect the trigger phrase? they only difference is that they are supposed to delete these recordings after the phrase isnt heard.

    I guess that depends on your definition of recording? An onboard microprocessor waiting for a trigger word is not storing or transmitting anything while waiting and that’s acceptable to me.
