AVONDALE ESTATES, Ga — The Avondale Estates City Commission is considering setting limits on mayor and commissioners’ screen time during meetings. During the work session on April 23, commissioners discussed a resolution banning themselves from using electronic devices during public meetings.

Scientists on Survival: Personal Stories of Climate Action by Scientists for XR

Published March 27, 2025

Up until recently, many climate scientists have felt deeply worried but unable to speak out. This book brings together the stories of 24 scientists who each individually decided they could no longer keep quiet. Rage, grief and frustration are part of these journeys, but readers will take comfort from knowing they are not alone. This is a very personal book which will hopefully inspire more scientists (and others) to take the leap and become climate activists. Foreword by Chris Packham.

Canadian Conservatives are discussing how to emulate Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency north of the border should they win the upcoming federal election — and they think they can make cuts even more quickly than the Trump administration has.

Casona - Selvagens à procura de lei - MusiQuinta de Casa @musica

E lá vem ele de novo, outra vez trazendo a banda que vem se tornando o novo Bacurau do fediverso.

Casona é, em partes, sobre o estúdio onde Selvagens gravou o primeiro disco (e se não me engano, ficava em Recife :pe_sqr: ). A casa dos desajustados, um zoológico, um circo e um hospício.

Browne Amplification have release the v4 of the Protein dual overdrive!

New in V4: The Protein V4 introduces several key updates for even more versatility and tonal control:

  • A 3-way hi-cut toggle, taken from our Carbon V2, allows you to tailor the top end to your amp or preferences
  • Three internal switches on the Green side:
    • Low cut toggle for tightening the low end even more
    • A heavier clipping mode for a more aggressive breakup
    • An asymmetrical clipping option for added harmonic complexity and a slightly rawer edge

Check out the official release video here.

It's been a while, how have you been?

The Lemmy Club has been chugging along just fine, but with one issue - our database is beginning to push the limits of our storage drive. We're pushing 60gb on the DB. That's not photos, just text, vote records, etc. We have a larger drive with plenty of space but I only use it for backups because it's a slow drive and putting the database there would cause the site to crawl.

The last time this happened I just upgraded to the next tier of server up, which gave us a bit more storage and a decent bump in RAM/CPU. I could do the same again but the current server provider only offers an upgrade to a tier with 25gb more storage. We'd also get a bump in CPU/RAM but we're already overpowered in that regard. I like our current server provider however the numbers just don't make sense for us.

Instead, I've secured a server with a different provider. We'll get way more fast storage, more (albeit less powerful) CPU cores, and more RAM. For $7 less per month.

So what's changing?

  • Server location moving from NYC to Washington, DC.
  • Going from 6 x86 cores to 14 ARM cores
  • Going from 24GB to 32GB of RAM (way more than we need tbh lol)
  • Going from 100GB SSD storage to 1TB
  • New company is European (server physically in US)
  • Going from $27/mo ($22 main server + $5 for 1tb extra storage) to $20/mo

I've got the server up I'll just need a few hours to shut down the current one, back everything up completely, transfer, and restore it all. After that you shouldn't notice any change.

As always, thanks for being a member of The Lemmy Club.


If you’d like to help contribute to our ongoing costs, or would like to show some appreciation, you can at OpenCollective: https://opencollective.com/thelemmyclub

This instance is mostly self funded with no return whatsoever. The costs aren’t too high (~$440/yr) but community donations are always very appreciated. At the moment, we’re about 27% community funded. Either way, The Lemmy Club isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Also that number has went up quite a bit since I last looked. The photo storage (served by a seperate network storage solution) has started to balloon recently. I may have to look into a cheaper provider.
