overview for sideone

I've had no time for any video game playing recently. Looking forward to Return to Monkey Island being released on mobile at the end of the month, should give me an opportunity to play it.

Board game (well, board game adjacent), we bought Block Party, which is a bit like Pictionary but making pixel art with tiny wooden cubes. Its pretty fun.

What games are you playing, Lemmy? Board, video, or mobile - what have you been doing and should we play it too?

Monday is here. Back to work, or maybe not?

Looks like Lemmy.world had some external "issues" earlier, I logged on to post at 4.30 this morning and was greeted by "Site taken down by Reddit" (lol). Looks like the nasty hacker types have been evicted.

What are you looking forward to (or dreading) this week?

Welcome to the weekend, part two.

It's pretty wet here so we're probably off to a museum later. Are you hiding from the rain or embracing it?

Question about mugs by sideone in c/[email protected]

Because it's like giving a soothing, warm thing a hug? I definitely prefer holding a mug by the handle though.

It's Saturday, the best day of the week for some of us. What's happening, dudes?

We've planned a barbeque, so obviously it's forecast to thunderstorm all lunchtime. Have a good one, all!

Hello, I'd like to give you money for your services. Can you provide more information?

...Yes

I hate companies that do this.

Currently (mainly due to lack of imagination), we're mainly copying the reddit format of daily threads. Is there anything that you'd like to see ongoing?

New Lemmy instance not federating (lemmy.world)

Hi all,

I've set up my own Lemmy instance (using @ubergeek77's Easy Deploy script) on an Oracle Cloud free tier. I can sign in, and have added communities from other instances.

I'm seeing new posts from lemmy.ml, but not from lemmy.world. Does it take days to do an initial sync (my instance was created on Thursday)? Is Lemmy.world just too overloaded?

Cheers

It took me way too long to work out you're talking about cats, and not an actual Siamese boy...

Off for burgers at lunchtime with #1 child, can't wait. Have to take a month's worth of garden waste to the tip this morning as they're striking and not collecting. Going to have to try to get a full wheelie bin in the car...

Visiting the US soon - do I really have to tip? by sideone in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

As far as I understand it, US servers prefer the current system as they make more money from tips. Personally, if you prefer this system I think you don't have any right to complain or get upset if someone doesn't tip.
