I'm in the process of deGoogling and also shoring up my email privacy, which means I'm hyper aware of mistakes I make, hence the stupid question:...

I have some automated pet stuff in my house. There were 2 power outages 2 days in a row. After each one, the pet electronics refused to turn back on even if I unpluged and replugged the power brick from the wall outlet side. They would only turn on if I unplugged the power brick on the electronics side and plugged it back in....

I keep seeing posts with just “rule” in the title and I am pretty sure I missed something. Would anyone care to explain to this millennial boomer what I missed?

I randomly came across Nostr along with Tildes and Lemmy in my early hunt for THE reddit alternative to make a home.

So I’ve got some rusty old floor screws that I can’t loosen with a Phillips head (they’re old, so I’m betting it’s not posidrv). The notches are all rusted and it hardly bites at all....

I’ve been looking across the internet, up, down, front, and back. No clue....

I have two blankets I really like and use frequently, but I don't like having on my bed (due to them being too warm). If I had them on the floor overnight when I don't need them, would it damage the blankets?...

I’ve read that threads is using ActivityPub but what does that mean exactly?...

So, I recently came across a post on lemmy.world (my current instance) where every comment showed up as “removed by mod”. I was curious to see what happened, so I opened the Modlog, filtered by “Removing Comments” and cycled through all the mods of that community (not sure if there’s a better way), but found absolutely...

I’ve created and account in programming.dev. When I search for a community, sometimes I don’t find in when I search in programming.dev but I find it in lemmy.world

i don’t want to offend anyone, but some open source/privacy enthusiasts dislike google, but why?? google has made chromium, android, etc and most of the things they do are open source, and not only that, they also support creative commons media or public domain. i know the privacy concernes they may have, but they would never...
