It works for Boebert. I guess they wanted to try it for Trump. Lol
Hyuge lag. Best you’ve ever seen, and no one knows more about it than me.
Price sticker had me amused - I never thought of that!
Another suggestion is to buy a card in a different language. Or if it says Mother’s Day where you don’t even bother replacing “Mother” with “Father”, but that might be a bit too intentionally mean so I would only send this depending on what kind of relationship and trauma that OP has.
Adding some inspiration from well-developed 90s sites via the Wayback Machine.
These will take a while to load and will appear broken. The Wayback Machine is a free service hosted on the Internet Archive and bandwidth isn’t cheap!
This list of sites is, of course, from the frame of view of a kid growing up in the United States in the 1990s. I visited a lot of other sites but I can’t remember them - I only remember the ones I visited in the early 2000s that didn’t exist in the 90s.

I forgot to add - I believe Kirby was popular as ASCII art in the 90s.
Get this Kirby dance on that web site somewhere ASAP:

Nice start, this is very nostalgic! If you ever had an old Geocities, Tripod, or even MySpace back in the day, check out the Way Back Machine and look for that old URL for some inspiration.
I recommend the following suggestions to build upon this better:
General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]
Table './that90ssite/phpbb_sessions' is marked as crashed and should be repaired [145]

May I suggest the humble Four Seasons? Would be great if we could Rudy Giuliani to serve refreshments to the audience.
Ubisoft and EA: Mmmm fresh meat.
The first 3-D gaming consoles. What an era. I had the N64 in the late 90s and was lucky enough to get a used PS1 in the early 2000s.
Mario 64 was the best for me. That opening title screen where you could stretch Mario’s face was hysterical. And then the opening cinematic was so breathtaking, just having that 3-D camera navigate around, with a musical crescendo ending with Mario Yahooing out of the warp pipe. I’ve never been so blown away seeing 3-D gaming. Then came Star Fox, and Ocarina of Time - Magical experiences that I’m getting goosebumps just reminiscing about them.
And of course PS1 when I got to play FF7. Wow. While I hated the graphics (apart from cinematic) since I got this console late into the end of the N64 generation, this was a formative game.
Getting all nostalgic here for simpler times. Having the magic of extremely senior and experienced devs bumping out amazing 2D masterpiece games on SNES, only to immediately shift into 3-D was great. Great time for gaming… before the dark times… before Horse Armor, live service, pay to play, “cut-and-paste-apology-letter-we-promise-to-do-better” broken games, and FOMO battle passes.
What a fantastic console. I played the hell out of GCN. My favorite games on there: Tales of Symphonia, The Wind Waker, and Smash Bros.
Shout out to the 3DS. What an amazing portable! I have so many memories with it, and it was the only gaming device I carried with me EVERYWHERE because of street pass and spot pass. I bought all the bundle games for StreetPass because it was so much fun having iterative improvement with visitors to your 3DS. Integration into other mainline games was pretty great too.
Not everything took advantage of the 3D aspect, but the games I played creatively innovated with it and provided new perspectives to solving puzzles.
I freaking love my 3DS. Right now Steam Deck has surpassed it, but man what an era of gaming.
Note: If you’re nostalgic for StreetPass, look up “Street Pass 2”. Despite Nintendo shuttering all the services, you can still work your way around and get StreetPasses to your console, but you’ll have to homebrew it.
Other runner ups: SNES (I was a kid that wasted away on that console), Wii, Wii U. I used to throw Wii Guitar Hero parties with friends. Great times.
Have you been contributing and participating in some of the content discussions in the Fediverse? I found that I was a consumer and just came to Reddit to read stuff. But with Lemmy I’m far more interactive.
Cool idea on having a public board, similar to the modlog. Perhaps that idea should be suggested to the Lemmy devs if it is important to you: LemmyNet Issues board: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/
While I’m not sure about the information for your instance, lemmy.ca, I’m with lemmy.world for now. Lemmy.world is hosted by the same people who run mastodon.world.
Lemmy.world posts a blog update that outlines their hardware and financial costs.
“The current VPS couldn’t be resized that much anymore, and load was going up with all the new users. So I bought the same server at Hetzner: a 32-core/64 thread 128GB RAM dedicated server.”
“May / Expenses / Mail: EUR 32,52 / Hetzner (server etc): EUR 424,34 / Storage: EUR 75,69”
There’s the official Jellyfin app for Apple TV. It works very well with only minor UI bugs when browsing libraries. Nothing that detracts from or reduces the quality of the service.
