She/her. I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing. New to the Fediverse, literally just picked the instance that seemed the most frictionless. Progressive new urbanist vegan in New England.

You can get biodegradable bamboo floss; it’s what I use. Still single-use, but it’s at least not gonna hang around for a thousand years and deteriorate into micro and nano-plastics.

Exactly. Smallpox vaccines and modern antibiotics would carry the day.

!askelectronics@tchns.de is a bit more low level than is most common, but may still be worth including on the list.

My personal thought as a lurker trying to learn enough through osmosis to start her own set-up is that hardware concerns are fine as long as they still relate to self-hosting in some fashion. “What hardware setup would be good for beginners looking to self-host a Google Drive alternative on a budget?” is self-hosting, fine, and the type of thing I would bookmark for my own reference. “Anyone have advice on cannibalizing an old laptop to DIY a mini PC?” would really not be self-hosting, even if your plan is to use the resulting mini PC to self-host a server.
I’d also be inclined to treat posts that are off-topic but have a selection of informative high-effort comments by locking them and sharing them to the appropriate community for further discussion there vs. removing them entirely.

I’m just gonna link this post.
If I had to paraphrase what happened, there was some (IMO polite) disagreement over the stringency of enforcing rule 3 and whether it was negatively impacting the community by removing posts that people worked hard to answer due to being more of a hardware-related topic, and then the previous mod abruptly made the people who offered the criticism moderators without any discussion on the matter with them first and then hasn’t been seen on Lemmy since.

Now you got me thinking about whether cuneiform in clay tablets could actually be read by blind folks like Braille. Do we have anyone in the overlap of knowing enough about reading Braille and about cuneiform to weigh in on whether it would be clear enough to reliably distinguish by touch?

Despite the absolutely wild events that led us here, you sound like a really solid moderator. Thanks for the intro!
