Mr Ai @bonqo@qoto.org

@mngrif I could probably setup a cursed instance for you. But it wouldnt have full text search and wouldnt cache other instances toots for very long (those are the expensive parts).

@bonqo I'm glad you feel that way. It is great having you!

Just a reminder. All of #QOTO's free services including NextCloud, FunkWhale, PeerTube, and Gitlab have some quota restrictions to new users.

Any user with a QOTO account or who is active and established on another one of our servers, may request a quota upgrade for free. In most cases we can provide each user with a TB of space or more.

Thanks to our very generous donations we are currently funded to keep the lights on for many years into the future. So just ask for your free quota upgrade and we can usually take care of it for you.

The #QOTO #Discourse server now has full support for **both** MathJax based rendering for Latex formatted Math equations and Latex formatted Pseudocode. In fact you can even render math latex inside your pseudocode!

Check out the following post to see an example along with some quick instructions on how to use the new functionality.

#QOTO is back up safely post-upgrade. Going to cleanup some CSS that ooks a bit off since the upgrade but otherwise everything seems to be working.

QOTO is now on the QOTO variant of v2.9.3 of Mastodon. Enjoy!

#QOTO is upgrading to v2.9.3 tomorrow (finally got tests working). All the usual QOTO enhancements are still there. Really excited to play with all of @Gargron 's new features!

@NeadReport Sorry I cant be of more help. I can look into solutions perhaps down the road. Int he meantime if you have any questions or comments hit me up anytime.

@NeadReport Sorry. Go to preferences, the the site theme drop down. Select any theme you want (you probably want one of the ones labeled default). Then save. Should give you the effect you want.

@NeadReport You just go to your settings and switch to the normal theme

How do I set my Federated timeline to stop live loading? I would prefer to scroll and refresh as needed. Thanks.

I haven't started on video.qoto yet, but for now, check out my second 'Chinese Only Sunday' video :) I appreciate any feedback on the language or video making.
Cheers!

One day, #browserstack will learn what's the web... I keep asking them to improve their #Firefox support. Once again, that would not happen if Firefox had bigger marketshare. So *use firefox!*

Bad news for Telegram users. You know it's not really secure, but now this:

I'm handing in my assignment like this.

Some people asked me to share a lvery difficult yet simple logic puzzle that has stumped my friends. It is also my favorite interview question.

First off some background. The problem is not a trick question, as much as it may seem like one. There is no play on words, no hidden exception. Everything in this problem is exactly how it is presented and the answer doesn't rely on any slight of hand. Take this puzzle at face value.

Also **ALL ANSWERS NEED CONTENT WARNINGS** I do not want you spoiling it for others. This goes for questions and hints too.

Now on to the puzzle:

There is a room with 100 jars with lids on them all in a row. There is also a stack of papers, 100 papers each labeled 1 to 100. The papers are shuffled and one paper placed into each pot randomly.

You and your assistant are in an a joining room. Your assistant is allowed to enter the room, look in all 100 pots, and if they wish they can pick any 2 pots and switch the paper in them. They can only do this one time, they do not have to do this they can choose to also do nothing. At this point they leave the room, without talking to you.

Next, someone tells you a random number from 1 to 100. Your goal is to enter the room and open a pot tht has that number in it. You are allowed to open, at most, 50 of the pots.

Whatever process you use to open those pots must **guarantee** that by the time you open the 50th pot that the number you were given will be found. Obviously your assistant didn't know what the number is at any point.

What rules do you give your assistant, and what rules do you follow, to ensure you are successful?

@bongo This has been solved. The answer was to suspend then unsuspend. Couldn't find a better way. It did work though.

Anyone in the fediverse know how to undo an account migration on mastodon? It seems @bongo did it by mistake and I cant figure out how to undo it.

Any help appreciated
