Oh I see the problem! There just isn't enough RGB!
-
Just download more RAM FFS! How hard can it be??
-
Really good bacon?
-
-
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.

-
Better sick another RAM module in there for good measure.
-
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.

-
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!
-
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?

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.

ikr it crashes basically every day
-
It's getting DDOSed every day.
-
More than daily
-

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
-
-
Adding another stick of memory would really turn this thing into a beast! It’s never wise to use a single stick.
-
how are you holding up? because I'm a potato >~>
-
Clap
Clap
Clap
Oh good. My slow clap processing has made it into this thing. So we have that.

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.'

-
smugly points out other servers exist
-
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?
-
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.

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.

Hey Lemmy admins, what can the users do to help?
-
Always happy to see Linux on a potato!
-
going on the site is flipping a coin for whether it'll be up or not
-
Network error, Network error, Network error. This shit is worse than trying to stream a video with dial up
-
Put it in H!
-
Lol this is funny. @gsa32 if you created this you deserve an award. 🎖️

so true

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
