Good thing when my main rig goes down I have a, checks notes, 16 RTX 4090 BACKUP MACHINE.

People fleeing reddit around the same time probably helps too. Great to see new people in all these communities!

Alpine is a fucking mess and Flavio isn’t going to make it any less of one. Where Flavio goes there must always be chaos.

Music/Books

Check out secondhand stores for vintage stuff on the cheap to get the vibe you want. Old records that aren’t suitable for playing can make great display pieces. I’ve seen complete sets of Encyclopedia Britannica for under $10. Could be a sweet look on a shelf and something entertaining to thumb through while high. There’s all kinds of surprises for whatever you might be interested in if you look in the dusty corners of shops.

Plants for the atmosphere

Plants can make a space feel cozy for sure. Low maintenance plants with suitable lighting demands are probably your best bet for a space like that. Even artificial plants can set off a room if you’d rather not add chores to your weed spot.

You should share this to !eternalplaylist@crazypeople.online!

Any opinions about what should be in YOUR relax room are appreciated.

What helps you relax? Music? Media? A favorite beverage? A comfy chair? A device of some kind? You’ll want to work some of those into your space.

How many people will regularly use the space? If it’s mostly a spot for you then things can be very personally tailored. If you’re going to share the space regularly or invite others from time to time you might want to go for a more general type of chill.

I’ll smoke to that. 😶‍🌫️

Our little place made the list 3x, you guys rock! Thanks for checking us out!

They are new comments since the last time you viewed the post.

I didn’t renew my F1TV subscription for this season. So far the 🏴‍☠️ life is working out ok. Not as many features, not as much fuckery. Always a trade off.

In a perfect world where traffic and hosting costs didn’t matter it would be handy to integrate the lemmyverse results into lemmy instances when a local user searches for something. With an option to toggle it on/off from the admin panel you’d be able to cover federated and private instances that wanted local only search. I’m sure someone more technical than me could figure it out pretty easily, but that’s a lot of traffic to absorb for lemmyverse.net.

Posts like that are a great resource. Thanks for all the time and energy you put into promoting this place. It’s certainly appreciated.

Part of the problem is we’re fighting an uphill battle. After decades of preaching to people on the internet to use the search we’ve given them one that often can’t actually find things for them without some fiddling. New and smaller instances are particularly prone to this. If the goal is being interconnected as a feature we need better ways to make that connection user friendly and automatic.

There’s also the argument that people should get used to the idea of not being force fed from one source/community/etc. Redundancy also has its perks.

Lemmy’s greatest strength is also its greatest weakness imo. The decentralized nature makes it much less intuitive to navigate and use when you’re new because it just works differently to what people are used to and commonly expect.

Having multiple communities isn’t a problem if they aren’t dead imo. The problem is a user base that doesn’t have a native way to easily access everything on the fediverse (or even Lemmy) from whatever instance they register on. That leaves us with users who simply don’t know any better when they look for communities with a local search and can’t find them.

I think we need to work on retraining people to search using tools like lemmyverse, or find a way to build its functionality into the default Lemmy search. Consolidated communities only help if people are able to find them reliably and many of the users are brand new and struggle with the transition.

No. Gorgeous pupper and a great photo!

Went from Google to Proton and have since moved on from Proton. If there’s one thing I wish I would’ve thought of before switching it would’ve been not using a single provider for everything.

At the end of the day it got me off Google, but with more or less the same situation I started with. Everything I was using was housed by one company. If they go under or turn evil you’re scrambling to replace all your online services at once all over again. That isn’t something I’m comfortable with so I split my service selection up and moved to multiple companies for the services I actually use.

Having everything in one place is super convenient until something happens that makes you want or need to move again. I’m happier now and ended up paying a bit less overall which is cool.

If you happen to use or try the Voyager app they have a migration tool that is supposed to work well.

The adjustment can be a little awkward at first but there’s plenty to do on Lemmy if you take some time to learn how things work and how to get the most out of it.

If you’re the type of person that enjoys posting and guiding topics there’s no shortage of people hungry for content on Lemmy. There are lots of active communities but even more that are still trying to get off the ground or need someone interested to adopt them.

Whatever your interests, https://lemmyverse.net/ is a great way to find communities for the topics you care about if you aren’t finding them on lemmy.world.

I hope your time here is more enjoyable than where you’re coming from.

RIP
