@transcendentalConsensus @chr keeping old remote media around is the main cause of running out of space with media yeah

and linode isn't great at disk expandability, because you're also paying for other extra stuff (it's locked to CPU and ram upgrades too)

my two suggestions would either exploring alternatives like digital ocean (more expensive on the vps hardware front but cheaper for disk upgrades alone) or setting up aws so you can free your vps' disk and downgrade back

@transcendentalConsensus mm

are you at least purging old remote media (i forgot how to do that you'd have to ask a better admin)

maybe @chr can help with aws? there was a guide somewhere...

@transcendentalConsensus what are you using to host?

computer fairies is on a 2gb linode with aws s3 for media and we run just under $20 a month, not counting domain renewal, and we're not that small of an instance...

@transcendentalConsensus oh lol um should've checked if their website was up before linking, sorry...

update: apparently it changed because i changed the home screen wallpaper

there's apparently no way to change this colour other than putting on a wallpaper with the dominant colour being the colour you want

thanks Motorola

suicide and terrible opinions thereof 

If you think suicide is "cowardly" or "selfish", please do us both a favor and block me until you've done even the most basic research about mental illness.

If you're going to villainize people who have been suffering under intolerable pain and feel that death is their only option for ending their suffering and the suffering of those around them, /I do not want you in my life/.

why in the fuck would you make an ethernet and wifi shield for arduino..... which has a 400mhz cpu and 64mb ram running linux .....

why keep the arduino

case in point: i am now using a dragino yun shield completely devoid of the arduino board without problems

and it comes with python already installed in it??? sure without the arduino i lose the digital and analog pins (which im sure could've been implemented otherwise) but all i need is the serial connection to talk to a thermal printer

@noelle nah there'd be more blushing, face covering and likely self-depreciation :P

LB it's true she will she has so many of them I've seen it

the clock that shows up when i shake my phone used to have a blueish tint but now it's gray and i hate it and idk what made it change
