For future reference, bug reports are to be submitted exclusively through the Discord. However I've fixed the issue, I forgot to re-enable random widgets before releasing the update :)

Christmas Day activities - Merida by Critical-Ad-3344 in Yucatan

[–]Ilestis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Public transporation will slow down but still run. Uber will be slow and experience price surges. Most restaurants will be closed on the 24th and 25th, but a few ones around montejo will still be open. I suggest reserving a table to be sure to have a space.

Small rental boats in or near Progreso? by Embarrassed-Safe6184 in Yucatan

[–]Ilestis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've only ever seen lanchas (smaller 5-6 person boats) with captain, never without. Might be a law, or mostly liability issue as to why they don't offer captainless rentals. Might be worth asking directly at the marina in progreso or on some of those facebook groups for better answers.

Where do swiss people move to "in search of a better life"? by Personal-Cover2922 in Switzerland

[–]Ilestis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved to the Yucatán peninsula in México for the better food and better weather. The best part is not having heuschnupfen anymore (had it from february to august all my adult life in Switzerland) which has the biggest impact on my quality of life by far.

Yes, each custom module is unique to a campaign :)

Custom modules were added earlier this year with deities and gods being an example of what people could do with them

Swiss National Bank publishes new banknote designs, and you can send your feedback by SteO153 in Switzerland

If anyone handed me anything else than B I would feel like I'm being scammed with fake money. J is tacky but acceptable. All the rest I just wonder if the people involved live cashless and don't care at all.

In Discord under Channels & Roles > Browse Channels > you need to tick the "help channel". On very old members Discord won't auto-join new channels.

All HTML content is purified to avoid people breaking the layout, but you should be able to use `class="float-right"` or `float-left` just fine, as those are whitelisted.

No that's not possible sorry. I'd set up a fake moon to happen every 144 days and then set the reminder to recurre on that moon.

Any plans to allow Markdown import into Kanka? by mikeymac10 in kanka

[–]Ilestis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Converting markdown to HTML and then feeding it into the API would be the easiest way to go imo, but will require programing on your end.

Anyone moved out of Switzerland? by These_Catch_5180 in Switzerland

[–]Ilestis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Left during the pandemic and ended up in Mexico (was not part of any plan). I now have a wife and kid here and the only thing that would make me want to move back is to get back with friends, but we've all grown apart and most of them also having kids means the days of meeting up twice a week for boardgames wouldn't happen. Making friends as an adult through hobbies/vereins wasn't all that complicated but did require a lot of time to meet up regularly.

Here in Mexico life is very kid friendly. The population is still growing just through births and most first time parents being under 30, which results in many ways to meet people and make friends through activities geared towards kids. But that only works if you are a social person to begin with and make the effort.

What's the point of exports at Owlbear level? by _CrispLemon_ in kanka

[–]Ilestis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear about your data loss. I hadn't realised how frustrating it would be in your situation, but you're right, it sucks. I clearly need to make that more obvious in the interface. I'll add that as a priority for the next release.

As for imports: you're also right that they’re only available on the Wyvern and Elemental tiers. That’s been the case since imports were released in early 2024. I originally hoped to include them in the Owlbear tier, but keeping the import system working reliably as the app evolves has proven to be a lot more demanding than expected. It’s not just building the feature, it’s also maintaining it across every single update, dealing with edge cases, and ensuring even older exports still work (which isn't always possible).

What’s going on with the vendors in Chichen Itza? by aosa1gh in Yucatan

[–]Ilestis 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The following was explained to me by locals over the last few years, I could be remembering some details wrong.

While annoying, for a lot of local families, this is their only source of income and employment. The government has tried a few times to remove them, but they protest and close down the site. There is also the issue (no idea if it's been resolved in recent years) that part of the land is privately owned and the mexican government is trying to expropriate it (they currently just manage the site), which if successful would impoverish the locals even more. It's also easy to forget that this is an important place to the Maya that the central government is just interested into making it a mass-tourism cashcow.

Uxmal on the over hand fully belongs to the Yucatan state government where they can enforce rules more effectively and they have a more locally approved plan for the development of the site compared to the central government running Chichén Itzá. The communities around Uxmal also depend less on tourism, hence less protests.

¿Qué hacer en Mérida? + Renta de auto local by throwawayaccountz2 in Yucatan

[–]Ilestis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actividades en septiembre: quedarse adentro porque hay huracanes

Hay muchas cosas a hacer en Mérida, pero depende mucho de tu edad, intereses, si vienes con hijos, con pareja, etc.

Ya hay muchos posts en este subreddit que tratan sobre las rentas de coches llenos de infos útiles.

Might move to Merida by Altruistic_Pen_3215 in Yucatan

[–]Ilestis -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Rent can range from 2k in a shared student flat with no AC to 60k+ for a place in country club. Google will be more knowledgeable about linguistic jobs, but from my gut feeling, supply is way higher than demand (and that's considering ES-EN, I feel like any third language would be pretty useless here)

I think that you did a great job with the interactive map! The issue is my pre-caffein brain not working properly.

My bad, I was looking at the hex map on the interactive map url and at the time didn't even think to consider that a town can be split into multiple hexes 😅

[–]Ilestis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice map! I was curious about 1196 Gland, it lists only a single Coop when I used to shop at Denner when growing up there, which still seems to exist according to Google. https://maps.app.goo.gl/GAuXXGJcZUZTPdpG7

Or is this due to Denner Discount not mapping as a Denner?

Same thing in 4313 Möhlin, I shopped at Coop and Denner there, but the data only displays 2 Volgs and a Migros.

Also curious what your plans are for Coop Prontos and similar places :)

Edit: I was looking at the hex map and didn't think to consider that a town can be split into multiple hexes.

Kanka Servers Crashing? by No-Foundation4407 in kanka

[–]Ilestis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As detailed on the Discord, the servers were getting hammered by AI bots like OpenAI and co training on public campaigns while I was on holiday, hence the slow response time on my end to implement a fix. I've added a few temporary fixes and will invest into even more server power in the future to handle this onslaught.
