Got it.

Your PNG contains extra data after the PNG’s IEND marker which pict-rs probably errors on.
Your images aren’t stored as-is, among other things, their metadata is stripped so people don’t unwittingly share their geolocation, etc.
It rewrites the file in the process, but in this case doesn’t know what to do with the non png compliant data appended at the end.

Here’s a fixed version of your image that uploads fine.

Using pngcheck -vf on the original image will give you the starting hex offset (0x10fc31) of that invalid chunk of data, which can then be browsed with whatever hex editor.
I haven’t investigated that extra data much.
It might be part of a ‘capture the flag’ game, or not.

The fixed image is just the first bytes of the file upto that invalid extra chunk.

Would you mind sending me that file through another means so I can test what’s happening?
Whatever file host, matrix, email, etc.

Thanks

If I recall, the size limit is 5M.

This one is 2.8MB:

This one is 4.38MB:

What’s the extension of the file you’re trying to upload?

I’d like to celebrate early and possibly jinx myself in the process but the line is going down.

Not necessarily.
Thing is, after a few consecutive failures, the next retry is now in a while (later tonight).
This retry spacing at least explains why it hasn’t gone down after the restart

Sadly that line keeps going up.
I don’t have much of an update but it’s really specific to outbound federation and just with lemmy.world.
ie: inbound works fine, outbound with other instances works fine.

We are currently seeing a backlog in outbound federation towards lemmy.world.
Really, this graph says it all… 📈

I’ve restarted the containers, hoping it starts catching up.

Sounds dangerous.
There’s hope though, I’ve desensitized our mister cat over the years and you can now safely rub his belly (mostly).

I’ve been meaning to play something else, but I keep playing Shattered Pixel Dungeon…
I really wanted to give Helldivers 2 a try, but I don’t really feel like installing the rootkit bullshit for a co-op game.

I’ve heard from here about a Deep Rock Galactic autoshooter, might give that a try.

I’ve since removed one or two kbin magazine that are just completely overrun with spam.
!internet@kbin.social is one of them.
It’s gone locally, although I guess one can still browse that mess directly over there: https://kbin.social/m/internet.
I couldn’t even find a legit post among the garbage so I removed it locally altogether.
If they ever get it together we can restore it then.

Should be fixed

Others have reported making Eternity work by removing their account and re-adding it.

Sadly, no.
Like imaqtpie mentioned, I’ve cobbled together something, because otherwise we’d be drowning in garbage/spam.
Hopefully it doesn’t become sentient enough to rampage on its own.

There’s the recent spam wave, but there’s a lot of other day-to-day junk.
Compare, say…
https://sh.itjust.works/c/opensource@kbin.social
With a random instance’s version:

• https://lemmy.ml/c/opensource@kbin.social
• https://jlai.lu/c/opensource@kbin.social

Or even with its kbin source: https://kbin.social/m/opensource

(Unrelated, but federation seems currently broken between that kbin magazine and lemmy in general… but then it’s 99% down in there lately)

Like Batman and Bruce Wayne, TheDude and TheCloud are never seen together.

Hey,
Just a quick status update…
I know it’s been a while and that soon isn’t much to go on.
Trust me, we want the new version as much as anyone.

TheDude is the one working out the details, but FYI, there’s actually two things happening in the near future:

• migrating to more powerful dedicated hardware
• upgrading to latest lemmy

It could technically be done in any order.
On one hand, the server itself is kind of an abstraction for everyone.
On the other hand, the new version is more resource hungry and it might go smoother on the new hardware.
I’ll let TheDude decide whichever is easier.

The way forward differs slightly whichever happens first and some downtime is to be expected whenever that happens.

TheDude will let us know soon. 😅

I’ll go back to dealing with the spam and whatnot.
Peace

Nice one, it has kind of a ‘world is spinning’ perspective.

To anyone reporting random stuff from this community on the basis of ‘fuck AI’, consider blocking what you don’t like from your feed instead of abusing people.
This will be considered report abuse and will get you banned.

Peace

So… the PC in my living room is actually a VM with a dedicated GPU (PCI passthrough).
I wonder what are the odds of this game even running or falsely flagging me…
