If you've never written time code, you have no idea how fucked up time code is to write.

You know the common expression "it's not rocket science"?

Time code is fucking rocket science. Grownup programmers *never* write that shit by hand, they *always* turn to people who write it for a living.

Classic joke, here.

Hi,

After getting forum.retrolemmy.com running with lemmyBB, I wondered if Retrofed could get something similar. Instead of getting lemmyBB (an ancient software for lemmy) to work through a proxy, we created a new frontend made natively for PieFed: PieBB. PieBB is more feature complete than lemmyBB and lighter on the server.

Note: This project was created with the help of an LLM.

It’s live at forum.retrofed.com, and makes PieFed look and work like an old phpBB2 forum. You log in with your normal Retrofed account. Posting, voting, polls, PMs, notifications and moderation all work, and you can even import (some) old phpBB2 themes.

If you notice any bugs, you can message me, or reply here.

If you want to use it yourself, it’s at Github. Tested on PieFed 1.8.x.

Known limitations:

• Register sends you to Retrofed’s own sign-up page.
• The index (Last Post, counts) can be a few minutes behind, to keep API calls down.
• Votes made on Retrofed itself can take up to 10 minutes to show in PieBB, due to a cache in PieFed.

Ok—everyone checked your gear? You all reviewed the map? Everybody knows their job? Good! Now remember: down there, you are going to see some crazy shit. Clocks moving backward. Time repeating itself. Delusions about farmers and schoolchildren. But stay focused! If we stick to the plan, if we keep our wits about us, and if we’re very, very lucky—then my friends, when I see you again on the other side? We will have SAVED DAYLIGHT.

Where can i send this little guy to help?

@oxy See “Firewall”.

@EUCommission Seeing #ChatControl being "passed" by EPP the way it was, incomming #EUKidsAct, the way the #PPWR regulation was crafted, I don't see much of a reason to celebrate the progressively "corporatized" EU.

@OpinionatedGeek Why not? Was the problem with representing social relationships or something else?
