Close to you? I’m running my own instance in France and I live in Australia. It works great. The problem is overloaded instances.

Morons. I saw some on the weekend and drove as close as I could get to them to check it out. I was within getting messed up range if a blade came off and I could barely even hear it. This was rural with zero background noise as well. It’s almost like the complainers have never seen one in person.

Here is a pic of how close I was: https://ibb.co/rmQRmyZ

Critters or Ghoulies? Never watched the latter but the vhs tape cover had one coming out of the toilet:

What noise? I was in a rural area taking this photo of one and even then, this close you had to listen carefully to hear anything: https://ibb.co/rmQRmyZ

Agreed that close helps in general but 200-300ms isn't really that noticeable unless it's something where latency is important. I'm also surprised that some of the larger instances aren't using Cloudflare for caching. If things like images etc... are cached all over the world then I doubt anyone would notice any speed issues.

My dad got me a poster of mogwai after watching the movie and attached it on the ceiling directly above my bed. Sure, he was the friendly one but fuck that shit! 10/10 dad humour.

Yes and no. MacOS is basically the year of the Unix desktop for a while now and it’s still powerful and user friendly. Just fire up a terminal and it’s Unix. The benefit they have is hardware control so stuff just works and no driver hardware issues etc…

You mean the games/midi port.

I guess all the cows in the paddock right next to them were immune?

I’m using it since doing the opposite and it works great on iOS. Not sure if it was different a while ago but you can set it as your auto fill password manager.

Me watching Event Horizon… wow, a cool new sci-fi movie…. Then wtf?…… Great movie though.

In its defence, many scared stoners were also casualties of that movie.

I have on servers as I run my own lemmy server. I do like Linux desktop but macOS just works for my work and home laptop.

I’m surprised some large instances aren’t using Cloudflare. It takes a few minutes to setup and the added benefit of caching alone is worth it. Let alone the bot/ddos protection.
