Don’t worry, I appreciate the work our admins have put into the site
One of the beautiful things with the fediverse is that I’ve just created an alt account on another instance, so I can
1: Reduce the load on lemmy.world servers
2: use the alt account if lemmy.world is down
Idk, I feel too lazy to inform myself of what other instances are about and creating a whole new account for them
Read the two sentence long descriptions on join-lemmy.org/instances and use the same username and password if you’re that lazy.
sweet
see I always expected it to be like a “well, first you gotta have a MariaDB or Postgress” then “you’ll need to configure nginx” followed by security gobblygook , and if you want a UI you’ll have to figure that out on your own
Yeah, it’s pretty simple.
Or join a specialized instance and create a username that the people in that instance will understand but not the normies. (For the record, yes, this is my lemmy.world account, but my username on startrek.website is much more obscure than this one)
Oh I see the problem! There just isn’t enough RGB!
Just download more RAM FFS! How hard can it be??
Really good bacon?
I see the issue. The ram isn’t oriented correctly. And to overclock they should let the potato sprout.
The CPU is also set to Mini, they should turn it to Wambo.
Some stickers would probably help as well.
Yeah, flames on the side make it go faster.
You obviously know how to finely tune a spaceship.
Mmm, baked potato 🤤
Better sick another RAM module in there for good measure.
Better seat them properly too - not all the pins of the current RAM are inserted into the potato. No wonder it isn’t working!
We need to download more RAM
That’s how you can tell this is obviously fake, the RAM needs to be connected pins first.
If it were on it’s side 100% legit.
As far as retro PCs go these days that’s like $1000 in parts
I’ve got a potato farm running hundreds of these… Solar powered too! I’ll be mining that mash to the moon.
It’s probably running Windows Me
We’re running Windows Vista thank you and please 💪😎💪
Vista literally wouldn’t run on a potato. It’s too powerful for it to handle. But it’s awesome that you managed to fit it on there without it exploding.
Or they downloaded more ram lol
Not a virus I swear 🤡
Link?
Excellent Link thank you
Gigabyte? Pshh, no wonder! Should’ve used Asrock.
Rubbish. They have one hamster on a wheel, running so fast his feet are red hot.
I gave up with Lemmy World and made an account elsewhere.
Sir, we’re gonna need another hamster
Are you Richard Gere or Marc Almond?
You mean GLaDOS has been responsible for running lemmy.world? Goddammit, Chell, look at what your shenanigans did!
ikr it crashes basically every day
It’s getting DDOSed every day.
Without a fan on that heatsink, that’s one… Hot Potato.
The potato’s got a TDP of 15W dw it’ll be fine passive.
True, hopefully they’ve put thermal grease on it…
Preferably butter.
Bits of cheese in it too, makes the heat taste better
It’s baking
😏
Finally someone says it. It’s been crashing for like 2 days
how are you holding up? because I’m a potato >~>
Hey Lemmy admins, what can the users do to help?
I think the idea is to disperse to other instances. If lemmy.world has 70% of users then it makes a bigger target for attack.
If we are dispersed then, even if lemmy.world goes down it would only effect a small portion of your feed.
Either way, the more spread out our net of users is the stronger the fediverse will be. I am going to move instances myself, although my content will still be viewable on lemmy.world. such is the power of the fediverse
I’ve done this to a degree as well. I used this LASIM tool someone wrote to auto-move all my user settings and subscribed communities. Pretty neat!
Growing pains. I remember when Reddit had this problem. That was 8 years ago
And again almost 13 years ago when the Digg and Slashdot migrations happened
