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
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 🤤
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
Link?
Excellent Link thank you
Not a virus I swear 🤡
ikr it crashes basically every day
It’s getting DDOSed every day.
Gigabyte? Pshh, no wonder! Should’ve used Asrock.
You mean GLaDOS has been responsible for running lemmy.world? Goddammit, Chell, look at what your shenanigans did!
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
Always happy to see Linux on a potato!
going on the site is flipping a coin for whether it’ll be up or not
PS2 and VGA connector, tiny heatsink, only 1 USB slot… That’s an antedeluvian machine, no wonder it can’t take the load ^^
We call them ‘vintage potatoes.’
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!
how are you holding up? because I’m a potato >~>
smugly points out other servers exist
