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

[-] Hellstormy@feddit.de 31 points 1 year ago

Oh I see the problem! There just isn't enough RGB!

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Just download more RAM FFS! How hard can it be??

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Really good bacon?

[-] LetterboxPancake@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 year ago

I see the issue. The ram isn't oriented correctly. And to overclock they should let the potato sprout.

[-] LouNeko@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

The CPU is also set to Mini, they should turn it to Wambo.

Some stickers would probably help as well.

[-] LouNeko@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah, flames on the side make it go faster.

You obviously know how to finely tune a spaceship.

[-] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mmm, baked potato 🤤

[-] Surp@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

As far as retro PCs go these days that's like $1000 in parts

[-] JTheDoc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I've got a potato farm running hundreds of these... Solar powered too! I'll be mining that mash to the moon.

[-] Hupf@feddit.de 17 points 1 year ago

Better sick another RAM module in there for good measure.

It's probably running Windows Me

[-] CIWS-30@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

Gigabyte? Pshh, no wonder! Should've used Asrock.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago

You mean GLaDOS has been responsible for running lemmy.world? Goddammit, Chell, look at what your shenanigans did!

[-] Warpedtwistedbody@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] Disgusted_Tadpole@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

Sir, we’re gonna need another hamster

[-] Warpedtwistedbody@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Are you Richard Gere or Marc Almond?

[-] Wish13@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

ikr it crashes basically every day

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It's getting DDOSed every day.

[-] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 5 points 1 year ago

More than daily

[-] JTheDoc@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Without a fan on that heatsink, that's one.... Hot Potato.

[-] H2207@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The potato's got a TDP of 15W dw it'll be fine passive.

Adding another stick of memory would really turn this thing into a beast! It’s never wise to use a single stick.

[-] bappity@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

how are you holding up? because I'm a potato >~>

[-] RandomVanGloboii@feddit.it 6 points 1 year ago

Clap

Clap

Clap

Oh good. My slow clap processing has made it into this thing. So we have that.

[-] JustAThought@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Growing pains. I remember when Reddit had this problem. That was 8 years ago

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

And again almost 13 years ago when the Digg and Slashdot migrations happened

[-] PeutMieuxFaire@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

PS2 and VGA connector, tiny heatsink, only 1 USB slot… That's an antedeluvian machine, no wonder it can't take the load ^^

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

We call them 'vintage potatoes.'

[-] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

smugly points out other servers exist

[-] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

correct me if i'm wrong, but i think if the instance your account is on is down you can't interact with any other instances?

[-] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think you may misunderstand. Let's say Lemmy.world goes down, you are still free to make a new account on any other Lemmy instance and still have the same username (hopefully). Smokeydope@Lemmy.world simply becomes smokeydope@lemm.ee or whatever instance you make a new account on. A lot of instances federate with most other instances so you will more or less get access to the same content. A good Lemmy client like Voyager/wefwef.app let's you hot swap between multiple accounts

Unfortunately there's no way to export/import sub's which I think should be a feature in the future. I'm not sure if you can access Lemmy.world content from another instance while it's down maybe someone else can chime in on that.

Here is a good instance list that shows number of users. Seeing it really helped me understand why Lemmy.world is down. It has 22k users. The next largest has 4k. Most others barely scrape hundreds.

https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances

We are guilty as aspecies of tending to choose the most popular option because it offers the most interaction. The enemy of federation is ourselves and cognitive bias. I am guilty as charged.

Here's a good list to find reddit sub replacements on fediverse too very helpful https://sub.rehab/

They're implying people can go make an account on those other instances to continue to use lemmy. Smugly.

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Always happy to see Linux on a potato!

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Hey Lemmy admins, what can the users do to help?

[-] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

going on the site is flipping a coin for whether it'll be up or not

[-] Stinkywinks@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Network error, Network error, Network error. This shit is worse than trying to stream a video with dial up

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Put it in H!

[-] Yoz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Lol this is funny. @gsa32 if you created this you deserve an award. 🎖️
