#MastoAdmin Had an outage while I was asleep and now there's a hole in my timeline because the server wasn't accessible to receive all the activitypub communication during that time.

All the other servers will probably retry sending most/all failed messages now that it's back up, correct?
Is there any way to force send out a "hey I'm alive now, resend me all the failed/retry items you got faster/now" to instances I'm currently federated with?
Whatever to backfill timeline/feed faster/at all?

Are there any open source plug-in devices (or wire-in, or via CTs) that measure and log (to the s or ms or whatever) the voltage and frequency of a home's power?
It's 4am and I notice the incandescent lights periodically dim, even though no loads are clicking on inside the house (so, some kind of large load happening outside / brownout?).
Just curious when the dips are and if there’s any pattern. (and if I also measured my home's current too could also differentiate the cause of a voltage dip).

Why does it feel like Signal will just fall down the same enshitification hole that Telegram did?

“Free” service…gonna need to make some real money somehow eventually.
It’s got leg up on TG now but really not in the mood of jumping platforms again. (That and I barely use TG anyway, just a few friend groups that aren’t elsewhere).

Feel like I was the last furry using Pidgin for YIM, Gtalk, AIM, MSN, and Skype… avoided TG as long as possible until everyone was there and gone from other services.

Anyone here make the jump/upgrade from Proxmox 7 to 8?
How did it go? How long it take roughly? Any suggestions on guides (besides official documentation) or any issues to report or things to prepare for or check?
Been meaning to do it but dreading it. (And also dreading to find out it’s easy and I’ve delayed for nothing).
#Proxmox (maybe #MastoAdmin too, In case anyone else is hosting their instance or other stuff off PM).

Anyone else ever encounter this? Been like this since day one, yet everything has always worked just fine.

WTF is up with Georgia's (GA) "transparency" law of showing the list of jury member's names?
How is that not just ripe for abuse?? Anyone who's anyone can track those people down and do just about anything to them... threats, bribery, or even death.
I'd hate to be in the position that any time you get called in for jury duty: you also just signed up for being doxx'd and harassed?
Maybe it made sense prior to computers and the ease of info access, but not anymore. Should stay anon / classified.

TIL that 538 was sold to ESPN years ago and then moved to Disney and now Nate Silver is gone too (thank god, he sucked). It all sucks actually. Hope it continues to swirl down the drain.
His accidentally accurate 08 and 12 predictions lowered Dem 16 turnout imo. Way too much confidence in Trump losing. Never sleep on this shit. #USpol
(not saying they're solely responsible but one of many factors that lead to it)

Absolutely despicable. There are so many reasons I'd never buy a Tesla and this is just another.

Was doing a walk at night and saw this weed/plant growing straight out of the middle of some concrete. Didn’t see any cracks or holes either.

Umm so uh.... has every search engine that DDG aggregates all flip on the "only show AI content farm bs" switch??

Past couple days... if you attempt to look up even basic facts or questions... 90% of the results are all garbage.

Apparently #uBlacklist supports syncing in lists... anyone know of one already for blocking this kinda crap? Or dare I spin up my own and share it? Blocked like 20 in just a couple days.

How do you remove a role from a user? #MastoAdmin
All I see is a checkbox and a Suspend button... I don't want to suspend the user, just remove the right, does it mean suspend the right/role?

fucking finally (sorry, not sorry. She did some good shit before sure but she's been unfit for duty for a lil while now to say the least... yet she'd never resign and hand over reigns to newer generation - had to die at 90 first, wtf).

Well that took all fuckin day but I think I got the ups/nut configuration working again. Update broke it awhile back and have grated my face on it previously but now it's crunch time and finally got it done.

Full test would involve draining UPS battery too and seeing what happens and verify things happen as expected / quick enough but really rather not cycle those batteries more than necessary, it never likes that.

Also proxmox notification stuff prev upgraded and finally got that working too.
