    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’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.

          I’ve been so hesitant about making another account, but this one seem very useful. Thanks for this one!

          Isn’t .NZ exclusively about New Zealand? Like, I’m a native Spanish speaker, but I don’t see any lemmy instances in spanish

          That’s is one of major Lemmy flaw IMHO

          They should have separated identification and content. Make a unified id system and then let people host their own communities on the federated level.

          This would have been expecially important as you can’t really move your account among instances, and would have make the registration process also much easier for normal users who just want to use the platform

              You can make identification decentralized/distributed too

              Just in a different way so that it is unequivocal

                The only protocols I’ve seen which do this require users to use PGP/GPG keys. Its very definitively not user friendly. I’d rather the Lemmy and KBin devs emphasize their focus on other improvements rather than reinvent how the fediverse, including mastodon, does authentication

          sweet

          see I always expected it to be like a “well, first you gotta have a MariaDB or Postgress” then “you’ll need to configure nginx” followed by security gobblygook , and if you want a UI you’ll have to figure that out on your own

          Or join a specialized instance and create a username that the people in that instance will understand but not the normies. (For the record, yes, this is my lemmy.world account, but my username on startrek.website is much more obscure than this one)

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

      Better seat them properly too - not all the pins of the current RAM are inserted into the potato. No wonder it isn’t working!

      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.

    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.

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

        True, hopefully they’ve put thermal grease on it…

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