Tired today after a returning from a long trip and immediately having to replace my dead home networking equipment as apparently the telephone pole outside my house was struck by lightning while I was away.

Apparently lemmy.world will be going down for an attempted server upgrade at 1900 BST, any posts after this time may be lost if @ruud has to roll the update back. If successful, we should see an improvement in performance. 🤞

Edit: back up and seems to be running ok, should settle down soon

On holiday in Marsden. Arrived Friday to endless rain, which continued through to this morning. Attempted a hike up Pule Hill but the big factor was too much. Went for a waltz along canal instead. Weather perked up so we had a scramble around Buckstone Edge. Incredibly windy day for landscape photography, but fun nevertheless!

Recovering from seeing Guns N’ Roses in Hyde Park, very pleased that I’ve ticked off another one from my gig bucket list!

Cras ,

Wasn’t it a good gig? Pretenders and The Darkness were on awesome form, too

Spent quite a bit of the morning working on my lemmy instance, had to send a bunch of verification emails manually lol

Definitely been an influx of new users over the last 24 hours

ToastedYoyo ,

Hi Tom, I tried to join feddit UK however I got an error “email fails” when I tried to register. Now when I try to sign in it says “email not verified” - account name is “ToastedYoyo”

Any chance you can help?

tom ,

Hey yeh today has been wild there’s been a lot of signups and I’ve hit the rate limit for my email relay provider.

I’ve been sending out manual verification emails so will send one to you now

Yonrak ,

Hey Tom, sorry to jump on this one too, but I couldn’t work out how to private message you from this instance account. I’m having the same issue; Email verification never materialised and I can’t login without one. Guessing it’s also likely due to having hit your email limit?

Spent the first couple hours of the day doing tech support for all our confused new Lemmings, as is my duty as an old lady of…checks notes…26 days experience.

We’re heading out for a bit of a hike and picnic in a bit which sounds lovely but in reality will probably be cut short due to wasps. Then back home for more tech support, some game dev of course (navmeshes in Godot you will not defeat me!) and then we’re watching Reign of Fire tonight which I am unreasonably excited for! 😅

The For your reconsideration review of Reign of Fire is very funny

This better not be about to imply it’s anything less than a total 100% banger of a film from beginning to end…

How was it?

@TeaHands@lemmy.world avatar

It was a total 100% banger of a film from beginning to end, of course.

sideone OP ,

Awesome, I’ll have to watch it

Mr_Blott ,

Just discovered Lemmy because of Sync closing down (Though I've been a fan since the Hawkwind days) Is there anywhere I can get an ELI5 for this Fediverse thingy? I see there's a UK-centric Feddit but I can't get my head round how they're connected

Here ya go Lemmy World

Jon-H558 ,

As others have said but also I use the kbin.social instance which has a slightly different looking interface but still federates (shares content) with the other instances

Jon-H558 ,

Another way to think about the fediverse is you know all those annoying "local" newspapers that have maybe one or two local articles then a billion clickbait or advertisements disguises as articles that could be from anywhere. Well each trumptonnews.co.uk or pontypamdyadvertiser.co.uk or greendalegazzette.com is like an instance but all the articles are shared....except hopfully for threads it is interesting stuff not guff.

_pete_ ,

Fêtes!

We had the school one yesterday and are going to the local town one today, hopefully the weather holds out and the things that are there aren’t shit 🤞

harmlessmushroom ,

Delightful! I might have to pop into town and see if anything is on. I think there might be a book faire today

FruityDivine ,

first day of apollo being dead, finding myself sadder than i thought i would be. i knew it was going to shutdown but i guess it didn't feel properly real until it just stopped working

Zerimski ,

Relay was my app of choice, but other than that this is bang on for me.

The app is still working for me at the moment but I've managed to ween myself off over the last couple of weeks.

Never posted in CasualUK but it was the sub I'd always retreat to. There was a palpable sense of relief when I found this place.
