Founder of European Graphic Novels+, Aug '23 on Lemm.ee. With super-gratitude towards some ‘Blazing & Rimming’ Dudes for enabling our move, in which now we can abide. :D
Bien sûr!
However, and TBC-- I was referring to the actual hardware when I said “system.”
Indeed, I greatly look forward to upgrading this shady OS to some manner of Linux, especially once things settle down here. (any ‘flavor’ you particularly recommend?)

Upgrading to a Win11 machine to beat the mid-October deadline was my deal. Just about every associated hardware item needed to be replaced, and there were a bunch of small issues with the various new stuff, including me completely forgetting that a network switch is NOT a router, even though they look similar. Building a rolling, swiveling platform arm for a new monitor I needed to sit next to my bed/couch was one of the last major hurdles. Bonus pts for the new machine being hilariously tiny, to the tune of ~"5x"2x"5, but it got great reviews, and I’m loving it so far.
So yeah, moving up to a faster, more capable system is always a treat in the end, but getting everything migrated properly and deciding what software to reinstall and what to upgrade can be a process that takes weeks, or more. Note: the “VirusTotal” site has been a big help in feeling much more secure about my new install choices.
Couldnt remember debit pin and its annoyed me for a long time
A few years back, I had that problem not with the PIN, but with my online PW. I’d somehow forgotten it, and wound up calling customer support for help, getting a live person to talk to. They asked me a couple personal questions, I answered, and they solved the issue within minutes. I imagine they would have done something similar with PINs.
These days, with CS being increasingly automated and/or farmed out to other countries, I’m not sure if that would work so easily, anymore.

No, Joanne!
I.e., I understand she greatly prefers (absolutely detests) being addressed that way. :D
“Savior complex” seems way over the top when talking about what you’re describing, which to me is a perfectly normal, healthy reaction for instance-runners and /c-runners.
While true that such thoughts must still bow to reality, in many cases these instance-runners really are doing an incredible, multi-faceted job, and it’s true to at least some extent that they deserve to be thanked in various ways.
Meanwhile, my former instance (Lemm.ee, the 3rd largest at the time) went down essentially due to too many headaches created by asshole users. It’s a real problem everywhere, and I think the average user here does owe some thanks for projects like this which are trying to serve their interests and not monetise them. In which threads like this are perfectly useful & appropriate IMO.
Everyone in the building happened to flush their toilets at the same time.
Fun factoid: there’s an urban legend about so many people flushing their toilets during halftime of the NFL Super Bowl, that it actually broke municipal water mains.
Thank you so much!
I’m way over my head on all that, but have bookmarked your comment and created a reminder for myself. The new system is indeed AMD, btw.
