We're still working on the changes. The new authentication code is going to give users more control over the automatic sign-in and IP linking. We've also added an estimate for another week onto the maintenance page.

You can try messaging @BrowseGPT but i'm sure it's not the same. I'd like to get something more like Character AI working on Switch, but I don't get how they handle intellectual property concerns.

You can try the other DNS servers. The three are:

45.55.142.122
45.55.112.11
46.101.65.164

Also, check to make sure that LaneChange (the actual redirect handler) isn't disabled for your IP at: http://lanechange-controller.fortheusers.org/manage/

It should say:

No overrides for your IP currently exist.
DNS redirection will work normally.

If that still doesn't work, there are some more detailed troubleshooting steps you can do with a PC here: https://faq.fortheusers.org/#not-working

But it is possible that on some router/ISP configurations, DNS will not be able to be overridden, and the redirect won't work.

Even in those scenarios, CaptiveDNS should work, but that needs another device on the same network: https://github.com/browseDNS/CaptiveDNS

I want to have the changes done by the end of the week. We're modernizing the authentication and it's taking some time since the codebase is old. Sorry for the inconvenience here.

It seems unlikely that this would bypass the timeout. Does it actually give you more than 20 total minutes of screen on time?

I'm hopeful that after seeing all the user demand for it on the Switch, that Nintendo will include a "real" browser this time around on the Switch 2. If they don't though, it very likely will at least include a basic browser, since the eShop and other built-in services rely on it.

Be on the lookout for some press releases from ACCESS (the company that makes the switch's browser), they put some out a statement a few years ago before Switch Lite was released: https://www.access-company.com/en/news_event/archives/2019/access-netfront-browser-nx-selected-by-nintendo-for-its-latest-nintendo-switch-lite-game-console/

Here's a full screen version, for switch users: https://vgmoose.bdns.dev/dvd.html

This is using CSS animations, and no javascript, so it works embedded within an SVG, which can also be embedded within BDNS profiles.

Example on my profile: http://bdns.bio/vgmoose

Profile embed:

![dvd](https://vgmoose.bdns.dev/dvd.svg)

HTML/CSS:

<body>
<style>
body {
  margin: 0;
  background-color: darkblue;
  background: linear-gradient(to top, #3204fdba, #9907facc), darkblue no-repeat top center;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}

img, div {
  width: 110px;
  height: 66px;
}

.x {
  animation: x 6.5s linear infinite alternate;
}

.y {
  animation: y 3.5s linear infinite alternate;
}

@keyframes x {
  100% {
    transform: translateX( calc(400px - 110px) );
  }
}

@keyframes y {
  100% {
    transform: translateY( calc(400px - 66px) );
  }
}
</style>
<div class="x">
  <img class="y" src="https://vgmoose.bdns.dev/dvd_logo.png" alt="dvd" />
</div>
</body>

Restarted it, although I don't know why it stopped responding this time. Looks like a bug, as everything was still connected.

Thank you!

You're quick @Jared ! I was about to say this

Bumping this thread! Anyone working on some interesting projects?

Also, we might add basic web hosting to BDNS, so each user can have their own profile page to edit and manage (similar to caard's).

There are three branches of government, and they're supposed to keep each other in check. This system is called the separation of powers, and one component of it is checks and balances: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_powers#Checks_and_balances

It's super clear that our new President is completely overreaching. Even ignoring this stupid tariffs on Canada/Mexico trade war situation that he keeps saying he'll do and then backing out of, giving Elon Musk (the literal richest man on earth) the level of government access that he has is completely against how the system is designed.

It's so on-the-surface corrupt, that I'm actually starting to feel hopeful that our other branches of government will do something about it. From Hank Green: "What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation." (tweet).

I'm not blaming those who voted for Trump for this kind of thing happening, since it's a totally unprecedented power grab by our Executive branch of government. But now that it is happening it should be really easy to agree that it's bad. And it's against the freedoms and processes we've been taught as Americans to uphold.

I think that we'll continue hearing much more about these constitutional principle violations, and what our elected officials are going to do about them in the coming weeks. At the very least, if Elon Musk wants to run some departments, he needs to be 1. elected or confirmed in by either the people or government officials with due process, and 2. disclose and divest from his businesses, (like every other government official is required to, by law) otherwise there are way too many conflicts of interest.

If you're on bluesky, I can recommend this starter pack to follow our House and Senate representatives: https://bsky.app/starter-pack/justpolitics.bsky.social/3lbbwlxjboh2g

Many of them are using their senate.gov and house.gov addresses, so you can confirm (through DNS! lol) that they are the official accounts.

Definitely looks broken and related to the new changes. I managed to get a group to say it had -1 members too.

I reported the issue to the NodeBB devs and they quickly pushed out a fix! https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/13115

It's related to our shoutbox chat recently surpassing 500+ users, which would explain why we started seeing issues this week.

I'm still working on getting the colors in profiles, but this should address the forum becoming non-responsive.

I've disabled all email notifications now, for the time being.

Fully upgraded the forum now to the latest nodebb version, things might look slightly different. The main issue is probably still happening though
