Looks wonderful! I would certainly use the dark theme version if it was made available here on beehaw. 👍👌

I still use PHP extensively for a lot of my projects at work. It’s my favorite language.

I’ve been experimenting with rewriting one of my UI based reporting tools with Laravel (moving from slim/twig).

The fact kbin uses PHP piqued my interest there but I went with lemmy for my standalone instance anyway because I’d like to get familiar with Rust.

I’m also a YouTube premium user. I realize there are other ways to get around the ads, but I prefer supporting the services I enjoy using.

Interesting. I noticed similar behavior on https://startrek.website as well. I wonder if something else more global is going on?

Good day to all! Over the last 30 minutes or so, I’ve been having issues loading beehaw.org. Sometimes CSS is missing and the page layout is broken, and others there is a server side NGINX error.

Just wanted to make the admins aware this is happening. There are some NGINX settings that can be adjusted to make more threads available to NGINX if it is hitting a worker limit.

While YouTube, or any service, has bad users/channels, there are also many great users/channels for people with varying interests to enjoy. You can ignore the channels you don’t like, and get to watch some of the best content from regular people you’ve never heard of, who aren’t major television studios or corporations with an agenda. All they want to do is make videos of things they are passionate about.

@Lionir@beehaw.org,

I tried to reset my password one more time. It worked! I’m finally able to log in to beehaw.org!

The key was that I couldn’t reset my password on my iPad in any browser (Chrome, Safari, or Firefox) either. But I tried the reset password flow one more time on my phone, and it suddenly worked. I’m not sure why Safari on an iPhone would would but Safari on an iPad or MacBook Pro would not. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wait… perhaps it could have something to do with cookies? Now that I’m logged into beehaw.org, I can’t log in to other instances in another tab anymore. Worth some investigation.

Anyway, thank you for your help! Very much appreciated.
