I don't really understand your issue. You cannot subscribe on an instance on which you don't have an account, so you always subscribe on your "home" instance. And for me, Liftoff does exactly the right thing. My account is on feddit.de, and I just subscribed to !liftoff@lemmy.world, and just to make sure, I had Liftoff list All posts, tapped on the community-link for "AI Generated images@sh.itjust.works", and then tapped "subscribe". Sure enough, I'm now subscribed to "AI Generated images@sh.itjust.works" on feddit.de. Witness the beauty of federation.

digital connection, where it's literally impossible for the cable to make a difference to the sound quality

Digital isn't magic. Lower-quality cables can very much make a difference on digital connections, including digital audio, although the effects are very different from analogue signal degradation. Granted, for the low bitrates required for audio you'd have to have a really bad cable/connector. As long as you are above a certain quality threshold, it doesn't matter, but with surface corrosion you may end up with marginal signal levels or degraded signal edges causing more bit errors. What that means depends on the type of protocol and the kind of error detection and error correction. Best case is a very good error correction, and nothing happens. But it may lead to slower transfer speeds due to retransmits, dropouts in real-time connections, or worse.

Less than perfect conductivity or mismatched impedance may also limit the bandwidth, cause reflections, and other nasty signal degradation. It is no joke that some cheap HDMI cables cannot reliably transmit 4k signals, and the higher-quality ones generally have gold-plated contact surfaces for good reason.

Das hatte ich noch gar nicht mitbekommen, das ist ja wirklich übel, vor allem wenn sich dann herausstellt, dass die Maschinen unterversichert waren.

Ich hoffe, der Verein bekommt einiges an Spenden zusammen, und findet passende Flugzeuge, damit der Betrieb bald weitergehen kann. Und für die privaten Eigentümer ist es natürlich nicht besser.

Nothing wrong with that, but that's about taste and aesthetics, not performance.

Currently: Liftoff, The Guardian, SimpleCalendar, BBC, Signal, Tusky, Fennec, FreeOTP+, Flightradar24, K9 Mail.

But it varies from day to day.

Hallo, willkommen in unserer kleinen Runde.

Normalerweise solltest du auch Posts erstellen können, bisher gibt's noch keine Einschränkungen in dieser Community. Probier vielleicht eine (andere) App, oder später nochmal.

Ein Tipp ist noch, die Sprache einzustellen, probier mal Deutsch oder, wenn das nicht geht, "undefiniert" oder etwas ähnliches.

Gold-plating the connectors is actually one of the few things that does make sense. When new, they won't sound better, but they corrode less, which can, sometime in the future, make a difference, albeit very slight: surface oxidation can form a tiny capacitor. That said, I think you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference to chrome-plated ones. But unlike lots of other esoteric "high-end" nonsense, this one has at least theoretical technical merit. And the micrometer-scale galvanic gold-plating isn't expensive, either.

Aside from a brief scare a couple of months ago, when the owner/operator was unreachable and the configuration interface and some automatic update paths were not working, I have been using afraid.org, and it has proven to be a stellar service, and free for basic needs.

Muss ich mal in die Community-Guidelines schauen.

Yup, kein Problem, solange es irgendwas mit dem Fliegen (oder Ballon-/Luftschiff-Fahren) zu tun hat.

In Moment sind die communities hier noch so klein, das wir dankbar sind für etwas Traffic.

Willkommen in der deutschen Flieger-Community.

Schöne Erinnerungen an den französischen Holzflieger. Hatte zwischenzeitlich an einem italienischen Baum eine Flügelspitze verloren und war dann sechs Monate oder so in der Werkstatt.

Dieses Jahr wieder mit der Piper, aber neu mit "Glascockpit".

The BBC just reported that he resigned.
