I just realized that it might not be a technical issue that I can't subscribe to any kbin.social magazines from my one-person lemmy instance but that I might not be on the whitelist.

Every time I try to subscribe to any magazine I get "Subscription Pending". First I thought it was some technical issue, cloudflare, server overloaded, etc. especially because I had similar issues with lemmy instances.

Today I updated to lemmy 0.18.0 and all the lemmy servers started letting me subscribe, but not /kbin but perhaps there is something incompatible. But I found threads about people subscribing to kbin from lemmy successfully. And then I was reading https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/93050/How-do-I-request-federation and then it dawned to me that I might just either not be on a whitelist or even worse on a black list.

How is it supposed to work?

Is this the reason why my single-user instance can't subscribe to any https://kbin.social magazine? I'm not even getting an error, just "Subscription Pending". That sounds kind of broken and different to how Mastodon is dealing with that issue.

Do I somewhere need to apply to be able to subscribe to any /kbin magazines? If so where do I do that? Is there a email I can sent my application to? Or is the idea that if you have a single user instance you create a new user on every instance to find some meta-magazine where you can ask to be able to subscribe to a magazine on that instance?

Or are small instances not part of the design?

I also see that my comments in threads of other instances which kbin federates with don't show up here either, which is understandable if my instance is banned.

I'm showing you around how it looks on my instance and how to find communities, etc.

How would one instance know that I set up a new instance without a central service?

Whistle blowing is necessary but not sufficient to bring change.

Especially the lemmy.ml part was kind of terrible, I got into some weird argument with Tiananmen Square massacre deniers and the mods started deleting my comments, so the whole discussion was meaningless and left me very worried for the future of this corner of the fediverse.

I replied to the guy who wanted evidence that my dad was in front of the communist tanks. I never said it was in China, I said I lived in one of those countries, which in this case was Poland. I thought this is Worldnews so we don't only talk about China.

But Ok, for some reason it got deleted by the moderator. I see. I guess it's best to block that instance from my side, my involvment doesn't lead to anything here.

There is a even easier way, click the scroll wheel which opens it in a new tab.

In the picture and they mentioned it also it says that people in the room will see your face. But in the renderings there PCBs and chips in front of your eyes and nose, so I wonder how people can see you? Is there a screen and they use the same technology on the screen as they use for FaceTime?

Oh I was just listening to a podcast where you were a guest in https://pod.fossified.com/2023/04/05/s01e03.html and I had to lough out loud when they asked you what they could do to bring more women into FOSS or what it was and your response was to not invite them to podcasts only to discuss the topic of women in FOSS :D

The specific incident as remembered by the director of the "Ziemowit" mine in Lędziny: https://noweinfo.pl/chcialem-ich-ratowac-jak-gornicy-kwk-ziemowit-sprzeciwili-sie-stanowi-wojennemu/ just days after they killed 9 people in a close by mine called "Wujciek" https://ipn.gov.pl/pl/aktualnosci/38063,Pacyfikacja-kopalni-Wujek-najwieksza-zbrodnia-stanu-wojennego.html

I'm interested in Marx ideas of communism and find them intriguing, but Stalin and Mao, fuck those guys, and the people who try to cover for them fuck you too, you are terrible assholes and you don't deserve to be engaged with.

I call bullshit on this view of the things. I have no desire to explain in detail but I lived in one of those countries and my dad was in front of those tanks.

I have one Synology DS220+ at my parents house which I use for offsite backup of the computers and phones mostly. But it also runs Synology Photos which does face recognition which I then use to once an hour to fetch 20 pictures of pictures with the family on to show on the TV in the living room. I have pictures there dating back to 2004 which makes it a very cool walk down the memory lane. And I can use the TV as a big interactive picture frame when nobody is watching anything but we're at home.

With a similar script I also post pictures like "Today n years ago" in two of my family chats which is even cooler because there my siblings and parents also can one picture from n years ago every day in the morning when they wake up.

Here is the script, the bad part is that it has to have access to the postgresql database on the NAS, so it's a bit tricky to set up but once it runs it's awesome! https://github.com/jeena/synology-pictures
