My first spouse was Leah. So far I've married Leah, Shane, Maru, Elliot, Harvey and Sebastian. I really enjoyed being married to Elliot since he kept working and even went away on tour. Writing you letters telling you about his travels. Before I thought it was disappointing that after marrying, the spouse just stayed home. Giving up on most hobbies and work. That seem to have been fixed though. Because I remember Harvey going to the clinic to work in a later save. But who am I going to marry in this save? Who was your first spouse? And more importantly: Who is your favorite?

>Despite rarely gaining accolades and praise from contemporary and mainstream film critics, Lucio Fulci is a name that needs little introduction among horror fans and aficionados of cult European cinema. Known for creating images of excessive violence that earned him the nickname the "godfather of gore," Lucio Fulci spent much of his career pushing the envelope and, in many cases, tearing it completely to shreds. >Among the best-known contributions from the director is his Gates of Hell trilogy, consisting of The Beyond, City of the Living Dead, and The House by the Cemetery. All three took place in the United States and explored some of the horror traditions associated with their accompanying areas. Set in New Orleans, The Beyond embraces the Southern gothic horror tradition, and the City of the Living Dead contains a subtle nod to H.P. Lovecraft, with the film taking place in the town of Dunwich. >The House by the Cemetery, with its exterior shots being filmed in Scituate, Massachusetts, and the film taking place in and around Boston, makes full use of its location to weave a New England horror story influenced by H.P. Lovecraft's writings. The House by the Cemetery, while featuring many of Fulci’s trademarks that fans of his films instantly recognize, such as quick camera zooms, close-ups of eyes, and depictions of unrestrained violence, is a tale of Victorian evil that exists within the landscapes of New England...
He was palliative with cancer, and on the palliative ward when we last talked, I haven't heard from him in four weeks so I assume it's happened. He was only 40 and had had a kidney transplant, and was awaiting a debulking surgery for a very large tumour, and then got a fungal infection and was admitted. I am going to assume that ended up ending badly. I'll miss you friend. I enjoyed our talks. He did get a cruise in and was writing a book before he apparently passed. So those are good things, but I really will miss him. Be nice to people, Lemmy.
l'm brand new to SDV and I keep getting overwhelmed because I don't know how/where to start and panic as soon as the clock starts ticking. Do you have a guide or tips getting through the start of the game?

I can and do eat cheese. I just am tired of having it be a major part of everything I eat. Tonight I made some angel hair pasta, which was delicious. Cheese was involved of course!

I recently learned that crows only eats your crops if you have 16 or more tiles planted. That means you can plant 15 crops early without worrying about the crows at all. What are other small tips and tricks you guys know?
# Hey folks! I am looking for feedback from active lemm.ee users on what you all value when it comes to images on Lemmy. I'll go into a bit of detail about what our options are, and then **I would ask you to voice your opinion about the issue in the comments.** First, some context for those who don't know. Lemmy software can be configured to handle images in three different ways: 1. Store images locally - whenever an external image is posted somewhere, lemm.ee will download a permanent local copy. When you view posts, you are seeing our local copy of the image. 2. Proxy all images - similarly to the first option, lemm.ee will download a local copy of external images, however, this copy is temporary. It will be automatically deleted shortly after, and if users open the relevant post/comment again in the future, there will be another attempt to download a temporary copy at that point. 3. Pass through external images directly - lemm.ee never downloads any external images, users will always connect directly to the source servers to load the images. There are pros and cons to each configuration. ### Storing images locally **Benefits:** 1. Your IP address is never leaked to external image hosts, as you never connect directly to the source server. External image hosts only see the IP address of the lemm.ee server. 2. External servers don't become bottlenecks for opening lemm.ee posts. If an external server is slow, it won't matter, because the image is always available locally **Downsides:** 1. As time goes on, our storage will fill up with hundreds of gigabytes of useless images, most of which will never be viewed again after the relevant posts fall off the front page. 2. Many big external image hosts will rate limit bigger Lemmy servers, causing broken images when we fail to make a local copy. 3. Crucially: some people love to spend their time uploading illegal content to online servers. There are tools to try and filter out such content, but these are not perfect. The end result is that there is a high chance of some content like this inadvertently reaching lemm.ee storage and staying there permanently. **This downside is why lemm.ee has not, and will not, use this particular configuration.** ### Proxying images **Benefits:** In addition to the same benefits as exist for the permanent local storage, by only temporarily making local copies for the moment they are requested by our users, we free up a ton of storage & remove the risk of permanently storing illegal content on our servers. **Downsides:** The key downside is that external rate limits hit us much harder, as we will be requesting external images far more often. This results in a lot of constant broken images on lemm.ee. ### Passing through external images **Benefits:** 1. Images are rarely broken, unless the source server goes down. 2. The images never touch our servers, removing a lot of risk with illegal content as well as with storage costs. **Downsides:** 1. Our users lose a degree of privacy. Every external image that is loaded on your browser will result in the remote server getting a request directly from your computer to fetch that image - this is pretty much the same as you had visited that external server directly, which lets them log your IP address if they wish. 2. When remote servers are slow, it can slow down the entire page load in some cases. ### Current situation Initially, lemm.ee was using the third option of passing through images. Ever since support for option 2, image proxying, was implemented in Lemmy code, we immediately switched to that option, mainly for the privacy benefits. **However, after many months, and being blocked by more and more external servers, it is clear that image proxying is seriously degrading the user experience on lemm.ee.** We often end up with broken images, and our users have to deal with the results. I still believe image proxying is a really valuable feature, but I am starting to believe it is a better fit for small instances which make much less requests to external servers. As a result, I am now seriously considering switching back to the previous method of passing through external images. This is where you come in - I would ask you as users to please let me know which do you value more: the privacy that you get from image proxying, or the better user experience you get from directly passing through images from their source. Please let me know in the comments how you feel. **If I get enough feedback about people being against image proxying, then I will be switching it off for lemm.ee soon.** Thanks for reading & sharing your thoughs, and I hope you have a great weekend!
