You probably want to go and check your settings - scroll to the bottom and check which boxes you have ticked. I think by default mine was only set to notify me if I had replies on MY OWN posts, but not if someone replied to one of my comments on someone else's post.
I have only commented so far with only positive reception, all my comments are in the positives and I only have 5 downvote all I am pretty sure coming from the same person on the same thread, yet I have -5 rep, why?...
I too would like some clarification on how the up and down votes work on here. I believe I read on one of the FAQ posts - that boosts actually increase your reputation but upvotes don't - because they are the equivalent of likes on Mastodon. I may however be mistaken. Though I just boosted you and took your reputation to -4
Yes - it is likely down to the lack of a standard. Upvotes are federated out as the same ActivityPub schema as liking something. Boosts are federated out as boosts. So if someone on Mastodon saw your comment for example, liking it - is typically a way to say to the poster "I like this", but when you boost it you want other people to see it - so the sentiment is roughly the same here. Because if your reputation could be increased by someone on a different platform simply liking your comment - that would be fine - but there is no currently available federated ability to downvote - so people would have an artificially high reputation, because only the people on kBin platforms can downvote you. (I don't actually know if downvotes from lemmy platforms affect us here)
No, it's just that kbin has only recently started federating, and I believe ernest said it's still not FULLY federating yet. It's very new. kbin currently also has an issue where it is case sensitive but pretty much nowhere else is - which is causing some odd quirks. The proper format is @magazine so @china
In the UK we call them daddy long legs, I don't know what they would be called in the US - though I think it might be horseflies(?). Anyway I was told at School that IF they could break human skin, they would be deadly to us - but they haven't evolved that ability - yet. So I think they would be who I would befriend first - just in case.
There is a theatre attached to our house. It has only existed since 1991, before that it was a single story machine workshop, and before that - all manner of other things. There is a large Theatre Pipe Organ in it, and we host midweek groups who come down on their special outings (WI, Probus Club etc). One day we had one of these groups in, and as usual when they left we went around the building checking the toilets etc to make sure everyone was out. Most of the time people arrived by coach, but sometimes if the group was closer to us, and a smaller size, they came in cars.
This day we checked everyone was out, and as usual quite exhausted - we locked up the building and went through to the house for a smoke and a coffee before heading back through to tidy away the plates and bowls and start collating the left over scones, butter, jam, cakes etc so store in a fridge and pick our way through over the next several days.
On returning back to the foyer - the fire extinguisher which sits on a bracket on the wall, was sitting upright in the middle of the floor. It couldn't have fallen off the bracket, because it would be laying in it's side near the wall in that case. It was sitting upright - a good 3-4 metres away from the wall. There is simply no way it could naturally have ended up where it was - without someone physically putting it there. But the building was locked, and we would definitely have noticed if it was there when we locked up the building and left, because we would have had to walk around it to leave the building.
PiHole as your DNS resolver. LocalDNS mapping whatever hostname you want to whatever IP you want.
Because I use Nginx Proxy Manager internally - then most of my hostname point to the Nginx IP address

On a Wednesday morning in May, Hannah got a call from her lawyer—there was a warrant out for her husband’s arrest. Her thoughts went straight to her kids. They were going to come home from school and their father would be gone. “It burned me,” Hannah says, her voice breaking. “He hasn’t done anything to get his bond...
Agree with everyone else, this is terrifying (and will only get worse when AI gets pushed into everything) - but can someone explain the last part please:
Hannah, meanwhile, is afraid to stop paying $18.99 a month for a subscription with Covenant Eyes
Thank you that was the part I was struggling with - "if the court orders you to do something, you have to pay for it" - the article initially at least made it sound like the department was paying the contract to the surveillance company.
This is even more kinds of fucked than it already was -
We are going to watch everything you do, across all your devices, 24/7 - AND you are going to pay us for the privilege.
Seventy-seven percent of middle-age Americans (35-54 years old) say they want to return to a time before society was “plugged in,” meaning a time before there was widespread internet and cell phone usage. As told by a new Harris Poll (via Fast Company), 63% of younger folks (18-34 years old) were also keen on returning to a...
They might say that, but they don't really mean "the internet" - they mean social media. Which I can understand, I was bullied "offline" when I was at school, but at least when I got home - I had respite. I can't imagine how stressful it is these days for kids, being bullied online, getting home and still being bullied.
It's funny, people have all sorts of worries about how the world might end if AI chooses it to. But if AI was smart - it would create a new social network, and really ramp up the engagement factor. The reality is we do get physically addicted - we do need that dopamine hit. If AI created "the perfect" social network, we would all be far too busy screaming at each other online, to notice the world dying around us.
Heard about his on the self hosted podcast and just installed it and it works great. Dont use the given compose file just make your own with the linuxserver image. Here's mine and it works over tailscale and through my reverse proxy....
I'm basically all for it. The Fediverse is supposed to be an inclusive place, for everyone. Then we all get to decide if we don't want to hear from someone and can block them from our instance, or even block an entire instance. It wouldn't be terribly inclusive though if we started dictating who could and could not be part of the Fediverse.
The mods there have decided to allow underage looking content, skirting close to CP. Unless we want such disgusting stuff on our feed, I think we should defederate from that instance....
Yeah that's what I meant - I didn't see a single comment on the announcement post - that agreed with the mod. They are all saying it's a stupid decision, many are threatening to report any clearly underage content - whether it's drawn or not.
The mod might have made the decision, but the users don't agree with it at all.
MP3 player was a life changer. I went from a huge CD players not being able to fit in my pocket to a tiny bean that connects to pc with hundreds of songs, and i was blow away!
I mean for me - as a bit of technology geek, I have to say it's pretty much everything.
But the internet, that's always going to be the thing that even today still amazes me.
It's just mind blowing that as a kid, the internet wasn't a thing. We got the internet when I started college, and it was dial-up and via something called Surf Time, which meant that between 6pm and midnight on weekdays and 6pm on Friday through to midnight on Sunday, you could dial a local rate number and use the internet, but not get charged for it on your phone bill. It was slow, would disconnect every 2 hours (making Windows service pack updates absolutely impossible, you had to wait until a PC magazine put the update on a CD). During that time, I have seen the birth of Skype, which was revolutionary on dial-up. Hamachi - zero config VPN on dial-up. Social Networks, YouTube.
And now here we are, just 25 years (roughly) later with the ability to stand in the middle of a field, in the middle of nowhere, and stream a 7 hour Oslo to Norway train journey, in 4K just for the sake of it. It really is mind blowing how far we have come, ignoring whether it is good or bad just for a moment, and appreciating what is now possible that wasn't even 15 years ago.

Animals and insects suddenly are as smart as humans, which species should we try to befriend first before a world war between species occur?
To me, the first should be ants, they're practically everywhere and there's a lot of them
