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@lemmy.world 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

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

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!

For those of you that have found us in the Reddit 3rd party exodus: welcome!

Woke up at 3am to screaming from the field across from my house, followed by loud music playing for about 30 mins. Discussed with my gf that, if I phone the police, am I now officially an old man?

So I phoned 101, but whilst on the phone I saw on Facebook that it was one of the local schools proms that night, assumed it was them and hung up. I didn't sleep too well after but we were all young once I suppose!

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! 😅

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

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.

My getting old moan is that my hands barely function when I wake. I used to think it was because I lie on them, but apparently it's a form of arthritis. No doubt brought on my 30 years of work in videogames development. Luckily my SO has brought me a cup of tea to wrap my creaking hands around to warm them up and get them moving again.

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 🤞

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