    I started a “songwriting sprint”, and I think I got one or two usable tracks out of it. I’ve also been playing a new Minecraft survival world and reading a book.

    Does anyone know the root cause of these frequent outages and if there’s anything we members can do to help out?

      I’ve been told that keeping a lemmy instance healthy is a chore. I love SDF, but I don’t think as an organization, there’s quite as active administration or monitoring of this instance as would be ideal.

      I’ve not yet jumped ship, because I honestly have a million other things I could be doing than surfing lemmy.

      Last few outages they commented on BBOARD that the server hardware has some issues (insufficient storage space, faulty fans) and the funding allocated to Lemmy is running short. I’ve asked for a break-down of the upgrade/replacement costs and for some understanding of how membership fees (for ARPAs and MetaARPAs) get allocated into the various services, not heard back yet. My one wish is that someone on the admin side would provide updates on Lemmy about Lemmy affairs, I’m not too sure how often the Lemmy userbase checks BBOARD for news. I’d hope that with some better communication on the issues faced they could get some more support.

    I sorted through a bunch of older keygen chiptune tracks, to curate a playlist for the background music of my Batocera rig.

    I installed clips onto the bottom of my sectional sofa that prevent it from separating. Which is good, because it’s been separating a lot since I installed wheels onto it.

    The wheels were to make it easier to move because stuff kept falling behind it, but they worked too well. They even just slid around while locked. With all the sections clipped together it doesn’t seem to budge. The clips are the alligator style ones that you push the couch together to cinch, or lift the couch section to release.

      They tend to be far more active and reactive to outage reports on BBOARD. Though I honestly don’t know how many lemmy users are checking BBOARD.

    I made this second account a while ago one time when SDF was down, it’s come in handy.

    I fixed my keyboard, and finally got EXWM set up how I like on my laptop. It has been productive!
