Mbin merging the world of threaded discussion and microblogging makes a lot of sense to me, but on the latest FiresideFedi Jerry mentioned that it was the most challenging thing to host and hinted that it was still very much in development. Wondering what peoples experiences have been trying to get it up and running? What’s the stability and resource usage been like? Also it seems the developers of Mbin don’t have their own general instance, which is concerning to me because that helps a project monitor stability and optimize resource usage.

New Delhi (AFP) – Air India's Boeing plane was "well-maintained" before it crashed a week ago, killing all but one of 242 people on board, the airline said Thursday.

Indian authorities are yet to detail what caused the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner to hurtle to the ground in the western city of Ahmedabad, where at least 38 people were also left dead.

As investigators attempt to retrieve data from the plane's black boxes -- the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder -- the airline said that no problems were detected with the jet before the disaster.

"The plane was well-maintained, with its last major check in June 2023," Air India said in a statement.

"Its right engine was overhauled in March 2025, and the left engine was inspected in April 2025. Both the aircraft and engines were regularly monitored, showing no issues before the flight," the airline said.

The London-bound jet burst into a fireball when it smashed into a residential area of Ahmedabad moments after takeoff.

Initial checks since the crash on Air India's Dreamliners "did not reveal any major safety concerns", the country's civil aviation regulator said Tuesday.

India's aviation investigative unit said Thursday the probe was "progressing steadily".

"Key recovery work, including site documentation and evidence collection, has been completed, and further analysis is now underway," the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau said in a statement.

Air India said there were 169 Indian passengers, 53 British, seven Portuguese and a Canadian on board the flight, as well as 12 crew members.

The airline said Thursday the pilots were accomplished flyers.

"The flight was led by Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, a highly experienced pilot and trainer with over 10,000 hours flying widebody aircraft," it said.

"First Officer Clive Kunder, had over 3,400 hours of flying experience."

While investigators try to piece together what went wrong, families of dozens of victims are still waiting for their loved ones to be identified.

As of Thursday, 210 victims have been identified through DNA testing, state health minister Rushikesh Patel said.

"What do people see in this guy? I don’t understand. His whole press conference was mostly incoherent and he basically kept repeating the same talking points over and over. The workers didn’t seem to be very comfortable. I personally would’ve walked away." - Wednesday June 18, 2025 Reddit comment

The 12 projects include bike facilities along Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s nearly completed Silver Line commuter rail in Addison, which was awarded $7.7 million. Another $12 million will go toward the T.C. Rice Trail in Carrollton, connecting Denton County Transportation Authority’s Hebron Station to DART’s Frankford station in North Carrollton.

“In addition to connecting people to destinations, the projects funded by the RTC will improve safety and comfort, reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality,” Kokes said.

Other projects include the Sycamore Trail extension in Denton, which will improve access for neighborhoods near DCTA’s Downtown Denton transit center. The full list of projects also includes trails in Fort Worth, Frisco and Crowley.

A new update for Elden Ring Nightreign rolled out on Thursday, adding an extra layer of challenge. The first of the game’s Everdark Sovereigns, stronger and more challenging versions of existing Nightlord bosses, is here, letting players test themselves against a familiar foe — but only for a limited time.

Players can now face the Everdark Sovereign version of Adel, Baron of the Night (aka “Gaping Jaw”) in Elden Ring Nightreign. Defeating that extra spicy Nightlord will reward players with a new item: Sovereign Sigils. These new tokens can be cashed in for special Relics “and other items,” publisher Bandai Namco says. Players’ first win against an Everdark Sovereign Nightlord will earn them multiple Sovereign Sigils, though it sounds like repeat battles will deal out fewer.

If you want to face Everdark Sovereign Gaping Jaw, you’ll need to have already defeated the base version of Gaping Jaw. So hurry up if you haven’t; the first Everdark Sovereign encounter will only be available through June 25, at 5:59 p.m PDT/8:59 p.m. EDT.

Here’s one big catch, though: Everdark Sovereigns are available for Nightreign’s online mode only.

Coming to the Everdark Sovereign rotation in the next few weeks are harder versions of Sentient Pest and Darkdrift Knight. Amped-up versions of the other existing bosses will be added at a later date, Bandai Namco says.

Elden Ring Nightreign is available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. If you need some help getting started, check out Polygon’s guides for Elden Ring Nightreign.
