@Katie could be done fairly easily, just a check if a given frame is the same as the last one. We'll probably work on that soon.

Timelapse done! Each frame is 1 minute so each second is 24 minutes. View it here: freak.university/static/box/mu

Trying a fix.

It's done but it's all fucked up. Not sure what's wrong.

Currently making a timelapse of the mural

You may sign up on ask.rape.pet as an alternative to Freak University Ask. However, your data is not transferred over. You will have to start fresh.

We are in contact with other admins to transfer our existing retrospring install to their server, so that people won't have to remake their accounts.

@paglarm yes

We have made the difficult decision to shut down Freak University and all associated services approximately three months from now, on 2025-01-04.

Please use the intervening time to migrate to other hosts. In particular, pronouns.rape.pet is a suitable alternative to badge.freak.university. If you have other alternatives, feel free to reply with them.

Backups will be kept after the shutdown, but no guarantees will be made as to account exports afterwards.

The mural will not be expanded, despite the poll.

A bit late but it's back up.

The mural is currently down. A fix is being investigated.

It seems like the mural has kind of stagnated. Should we do anything about that?

Options:

Whitelisted minor.cafe for sign in to the mural and the computer lab. Also got rid of a bunch of dead instances from the sign in list. RIP

Freak U needs your help to stay online! Currently we have a little less than three months worth of funds. You can find details at freak.university/donate.html .

@dreamingdeadgirls we can delete your account if you tell us which fediverse profile it's associated with and tell us from that account

@dreamingdeadgirls Only if you're still signed in to the pronouns site.

If you signed in to badge.freak.university with an instance that is now down, we recommend taking the following steps, assuming you are still signed in:

1. Export your data (Settings → Data export)
2. Make a note of your account ID on Settings → Your profile
3. Delete your account (Settings → Your profile → Delete account button)
4. Normally your deletion takes 30 days, but you can speed it up (so you can reclaim your old username) by DMing us your account ID so we can directly delete it from the database.
5. Recreate your profile by creating a new account, opening your account backup, and using it as a reference.

@Apologist Thank you for the praise! You can see who placed a pixel by either shift clicking it or long tapping it.

Headmasters boosted

I love the freak.u canvas so much... helping people work on projects, sometimes even when you dont know who it is, makes us feel a lot more connected.

@freakuup We're back

OK images uploaded to ask.freak.university should be fixed most of the time. If they're still not working for you let us know. In some cases, if you just wait up to 10 seconds your uploaded image will work.

Nevermind, looks like it requires “more than 2GB of free RAM”.

We may be moving this account to a Sharkey instance. Takahē hasn't been working very well for us, despite how appealing it is to have multiple domains on the same instance.

@headmasters Spoke too soon…

Images uploaded on Freak University Ask ( ask.freak.university ) after today work now. If your profile picture or header is not displayed, please re-upload it.
