Lemmy.world's servers right now

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

49
- Idk, I feel too lazy to inform myself of what other instances are about and creating a whole new account for them

  I'm commenting from lemmy.nz. If you have an account on another instance you can still access everything on lemmy.world
  
  and with LASIM you can migrate all your subs over with a couple clicks.

  Read the two sentence long descriptions on join-lemmy.org/instances and use the same username and password if you're that lazy.

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

31
- Just download more RAM FFS! How hard can it be??
  
  11
- Really good bacon?

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

22
- The CPU is also set to Mini, they should turn it to Wambo.
  
  12
  
  Some stickers would probably help as well.

Better sick another RAM module in there for good measure.

21
- Better seat them properly too - not all the pins of the current RAM are inserted into the potato. No wonder it isn't working!
  
  15
- We need to download more RAM
  
  12
- 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

19
- I've got a potato farm running hundreds of these... Solar powered too! I'll be mining that mash to the moon.

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

16
It's probably running Windows Me

15
- We're running Windows Vista thank you and please 💪😎💪
  
  15
  
  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.
  
  3
- Or they downloaded more ram lol

  Link?

  Not a virus I swear 🤡

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.

13
- Sir, we’re gonna need another hamster

  Are you Richard Gere or Marc Almond?

ikr it crashes basically every day

11
- It's getting DDOSed every day.
  
  8
- More than daily
  
  7
You mean GLaDOS has been responsible for running lemmy.world? Goddammit, Chell, look at what your shenanigans did!

11
Without a fan on that heatsink, that's one.... Hot Potato.

10
- The potato's got a TDP of 15W dw it'll be fine passive.
  
  6
  
  True, hopefully they've put thermal grease on it...
  
  Preferably butter.
  
  2
- It's baking
  
  4
- 😏

Finally someone says it. It's been crashing for like 2 days

10
- They've been repeatedly attacked recently...
  
  14
  
  When did they say that? Could it be Reddit?
  
  1
- They can't say it because their instance is down :)
  
  8
Adding another stick of memory would really turn this thing into a beast! It’s never wise to use a single stick.

9
PS2 and VGA connector, tiny heatsink, only 1 USB slot… That's an antedeluvian machine, no wonder it can't take the load ^^

9
- We call them 'vintage potatoes.'
  
  5
how are you holding up? because I'm a potato >~>

9
- Clap
  
  Clap
  
  Clap
  
  Oh good. My slow clap processing has made it into this thing. So we have that.

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

8
- 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
  
  10
  
  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

8
- And again almost 13 years ago when the Digg and Slashdot migrations happened
  
  6
  
  And again last week.

Always happy to see Linux on a potato!

7
going on the site is flipping a coin for whether it'll be up or not

6
smugly points out other servers exist

6
Network error, Network error, Network error. This shit is worse than trying to stream a video with dial up

Put it in H!
