Me and you just think alike lol this post awakened the same sleeper memory in both of us :P

Also I think mine was technically after yours, there were no posts when I went to type my comment and yours popped up after I hit post lol

Naw, we posted at the same time. When I typed my comment (the one i assume you’re refering to) there were no comments. Once I hit post this one was already here.

Great minds think alike or something like that lol

Super fair point, I’m projecting human emotions onto the beavers & don’t actually know how they feel about the sound of running water lol

From what i remember, it has to do with the noise of flowing water. Bevers find the sound annoying and will cover it until it stops.

I remember a study where they played river noises from a speaker and the bevers covered the speakers with sticks – even in the absence of any water.

They can happen to anyone. Some hypothesis why they happen include: uv damage to skin, hormonal imbalences, malnourishment, and genetic factors.

I once had one on my shoulder and it really weirded me out lol

Yeah the whole process of trying to deal with facebooks customer service has been annoying to say the least lol.

Glad other people also seem to think having it locked is a good enough solution

Love the poem :) & 70% solar powered is great :D sounds like maybe down the line a battery upgrade might help make it even more efficient?

As always thanks for all the work you guys do to keep this instance up and running!

Lol probably more effort and money than the zero amount I’m looking to put into it

It’s locked so I would have to verify it in order to do any kind of resetting passwords and stuff. Which requires uploading photo id and a video of my face. I don’t really want to do all that, so I’m hoping that it being locked is enough to keep it from being used by hackers.

I honestly just stopped using it so long ago & hadn’t even thought about the account until my sister told me it got hacked. I don’t care about having access to it, I just want it to be effectively useless lol

I tried but they would want me to verify it first & thats a whole process that requires sending them a photo of my lisence and a video of me. I don’t really want to do all that lol

Thus me hoping that it being locked is good enough

I thought this was a quilt made of really cool fabrics when I first saw it lol

No need to apologize, I love seeing all the cool concoctions you’ve been brewing :)

Pcsx2 – it works pretty well, the only game I’ve had trouble running was monster rancher 2

Super cool to know this instance is being physically run in a slrpnk way too :)

Kudos on getting the solar panels installed!

Makes sense. Thanks for the additional info!

I do love games that are essentially just building simulators. For example, I love playing sims 4 exclusively to build and decorate. I mostly found tiny glade lacking in options and customization. Maybe they’ll expand and refine it though & in a few years I can try the game out again :)

Tiny glade was interesting. I only played the demo, & it was enjoyable for a half hour or so, but I kind of ran through everything & it didn’t seem like there was enough content to justify buying the full game or playing more.

I also felt like there wasn’t enough ability to customize different aspects, like I could place flowers but couldn’t choose how they’re arranged within that space.

Did you play the full release or just the demo?

I’ve been playing a bunch of SSX tricky. It’s super old, but I absolutly love it even 20 years later. I’ve been playing on the PC using a ps2 emulator.

I’ve also been playing simpsons hit and run which really holds up. It’s a simpsons version of grand theft auto & it’s just fun. It’s another emulated ps2 game.

Lastly I’ve been playing survival fountain of youth. It’s a fairly recent release. You play as a shipwrecked Spaniard looking for the fountain of youth. I enjoy the base building & exploration – the story line is fiiine but nothing special.

Will you link the thread? Sounds interesting

The photon front-end looks clean and runs well on both my mobile and desktop. I do agree with another commenter (coolkat, I think) that’s it’s not as cute and unique as the current front end, but maybe that’s possible to change – you did mention that it can have a custom color scheme. Or maybe it’s good to have it clean and polished, I guess it’s just personal preference.

I appriciate all the work getting done & hope the vegans find this instance to be welcoming and respectful :)

Oh and if replacing ssds starts to get expensive because of poor optimization, I would be down to donate to the cause. Hopefully a way to fix that issue comes along somewhat soon.

Schools (and government entities in general) really need to invest on setting up their own apps and programs for things like this. So much public school money gets wasted on paying for access to buggy and poorly maintained systems.

I work in a public school and it’s so frustrating to know a company is making bank for offering a mediocre middle man app, it hurts the Schools budget, the students, and in this case the families of all those students.
