It sounds like some weird ritual that someone scratched into a notebook.

Very cool, and thank you for taking the time to make such a detailed post!

If you are using any Synology products with your setup, you should go ahead and apply the recommended updates

I’d imagine it’s the same as personal finance apps. A spreadsheet can be enough, and it is enough for a lot of people, but a custom app can make things easier:

• reducing the friction of keeping track
• built in visualizations
• alerts
• integrating the data with other tools

etc.

Something being FOSS doesn’t necessarily mean it’s safe / ethical, but a LOT of FOSS apps are designed with those principles in mind.

However, being FOSS means that if an app claims that it is safe / ethical (ex. In this case, not storing data anywhere but on your device), you or an experienced peer can check the code to verify that fact.

The way she looks over even before he speaks lmao

I would like to celebrate it as a foundational nutrient for all life on Earth

Good note, I didn’t notice that in the original post. I edited the title

I loved the translucent things (or even pure transparent)

Found an article with a few more

I wonder if there is any pattern to those numbers

edit: ah I didn’t notice, thanks all :)

There was the attack on the Internet archive recently, are there any good options out there to help mirror some of the data or otherwise provide redundancy?

One option that I’ve heard of in the past

https://archivebox.io/

ArchiveBox is a powerful, self-hosted internet archiving solution to collect, save, and view websites offline.

Makes me think of this classic:

Lol the diagram

Research and organized information on a topic, however obvious it might be, is an important step towards policy changes. We also see those changes from time to time, for example some recent EU decisions

The article also linked to this Mastodon post where someone has been sharing their findings

https://digipres.club/@foone/113313513964826090

One potential concern is

the fact that Redbox machines contain a file that has “a complete list of titles ever rented, and the email addresses of the people who rented them, and where and when.” She also found that the first six and last four digits of credit card information was logged. She said that the records on the particular unit that she was looking at contained 2,471 different transactions and had records on it dating back to 2015.

This is good feedback, and I agree. I try my best to limit moderation to content that needs removing, and simply vote on the rest.

One thing I find is that mods are more likely to remove/nuke a thread when they’re stretched thin or there is a wave of rule breaking content. Bringing on more active mods can help so that each mod can spend more time scrutinizing each post.

The other great thing about the Fediverse is that you can make your own version of a community if you disagree with how one is being run. I’ve joined a few communities with different styles of moderation

What communities do you check that are more quiet now?

I think it’s because it’s just memes and also quite hard moderation and downvotes

Could this be specific to the American election?

I feel like I’ve seen more items in the moderation queue recently. I can’t say I’ve had to act on more items though

I can only speak for myself:

I’m here, still reading and voting, but I haven’t posted/commented as much recently.

Life got a bit busy, should be back to normal in a bit
