I’m just a weird, furry, pan guy (cis he/him). I also have a big, blue username.

Currently on Earth for 8 years ensuring steps to unite humanity and usher us into the galactic civilization just so I can see my boyfriend again.

  • First, you need to remove the heat sink. It’s going to be latched or screwed into a bracket on the motherboard and you’ll need to undo those first.

    Once that’s off, there is going to be another latch for the cage that keeps the CPU down firmly in the socket. Undo that, lift the cover and the CPU should be somewhat easily removed from the socket.

    If the thermal paste has solidified enough to glue the heatsink to the CPU you might want to look up how to deal with that. If you apply too much pressure trying to pull it off, it could damage something, but you also don’t need to be super delicate. It can take a little bit of pressure.








  • If you want your posts to be seen on Mastodon, you’re supposed to tag the instance in your post/comment. Though I’m not sure what the proper way to tag them is; I’ve only seen like 2 posts actually showing this off.

    The other part of it is that you can have an account on Lemmy.World and still see and post to other instances on Lemmy. Like, I’m on Yiffit.net seeing this post and making this comment to Lemmy.World without having to log into my Lemmy.World account.

    I don’t know how many, if any, other federated/activitypub things are integrated with Lemmy. They could be, supposedly, but it has to be programmed into the thing you’re using. It doesn’t just connect up automatically just because it uses the same underlying bedrock. Example: BlueSky is supposed to be a federated product, but it doesn’t integrate into other fediverse things AFAIK.
