[IMPORTANT] Extreme Rollback
  • Sorry! I really didn't mean for that to come off as rude as it sounded. I just meant, worst case scenario, if the server ends being a massive pain to manage/fund then you shouldn't feel obligated to keep it up. I wonder if the lemmy community has something similar to the mastodon admin discord group where you could maybe compare notes with other admins about storage/config issues.

  • [IMPORTANT] Extreme Rollback
  • Seems really excessive. The lemmy.zip admin does regular server performance posts and they're only sitting at ~140gb despite being much larger and image heavy. See HERE

  • [IMPORTANT] Extreme Rollback
  • No offense, but it's not very active here. I don't think anyone is going to take it personally if you have to pull the plug. The two largest communities can be recreated on a larger server(if they don't exist already). That's up to you chief, no judgement here.

  • [Annoucement] Server Rollback on crystals.rest
  • I think some of the recent low poly posts went missing

  • Who are you, downvoters?
  • XD

    Also, I was under the impression that upvotes and downvotes were public per this and that instance owners could disable down votes.

  • What's everyone's opinion so far on the new Holo En gen?

    Has anyone been keeping up with it this past week? Post-debut, it's feeling like a really strong gen. If I had to pick, I think Nerissa and Bijou are my favorites so far.

    Haven't been able to sleep much, how is everyone doing?
  • Maintaining a good sleep schedule is fucking hard. No time lately for side projects due to crunch at work. Been wanting to try something in 1-bit pixel style once work calms down.

  • [OC] Today I drew a pixel art bonsai tree
  • Woah, look awesome!

  • A mysterious gathering - Demon City (FM Towns) [1993]
  • I love the style used in CGs from old school PC-98 VNs. I've been wanting to get into them ever since reading 16-bit Sensation. I think the fictional company in the manga(Alcohol soft) is even supposed to be a a reference to Demon City's devs (Cocktail soft).

  • Thanks! Funny you should mention that. I'm slowly making my way through Pixel Logic and this was a small project to reinforce the color chapter.

  • Final palette

    The jean palette reminds of Carl's sweatpants from ATHF lol. Feedback is always appreciated!

    Are image uploads broken for anyone else?
  • Tested and all good on this end. Thanks Nina!

  • Are image uploads broken for anyone else?

    Anyone else having issues uploading images? I've been getting the following error message when attempting to select an image:

    SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

    Browser: Firefox 115.0 (Linux)

  • Damn dude, that hair always turns out awesome

  • What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?
  • A flower unplucked is but left to the falling, And nothing is gained by not gathering roses.

  • What is your first memory?
  • My mom bringing home a grocery bag full of dinosaurs toys from a yardsale. I had to be like 4.

  • What is your favorite open source software?
  • We have the same experience then XD

    In my experience, the learning curve felt similar to Dwarf Fortress.

    For starters, there's the Guidebook and the Wiki.

    You probably also want to keep a Keyboard Reference handy.

    This guy has a full run you can watch,(or not, that's LOOONG)

    For me, I think it was just a combination of watching people play and banging my head against it until things start to sort of make sense. Kind of like dwarf fortress lol.

  • What is your favorite open source software?
  • Firefox and Nethack

  • Monster Art

    Hey! I'm not sure if anyone shares the same interest, but this is one of my favorite resources for horror/monster related art.

    It's a blog that shares monsters illustrations from historical to retro and everything in between. The images are high res and include sources and credits.

    The catalogue is massive and I've burned multiple afternoons over the years just browsing through them.

    What's your opinion on Calckey?

    I guess I'm a little late to the party, but apparently it's a fork of Misskey. I like the additional features so far. Especially the gallery and channels. I think I actually may try and migrate from Masto after playing with it a little more.

    Is anyone able to post replies to other instances?

    I've noticed that when attempting to post responses to threads in other servers, the Post button just kind of spins indefinitely.

    What are you working on?

    Main projects, side stuff, game dev, art, music, crafts, whatever. Got anything cool that you're working on and would like to share? Or even something in the works that you're hoping to get off the ground.
