[email protected] 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.

Which is to say, yes, I like your proposed revision.

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.

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

So normal police, just stationed at a school. Weird to call it school police if they are normal police officers.

It’s mostly to distinguish the officers assigned there as their daily job vs. a police officer being called in by dialing emergency services or the local police department directly.

The police officers stationed in schools as their dedicated post! This is a cool and normal thing and not at all a horrifying extension of the school to prison pipeline masquerading under the idea of protecting schoolchildren from gun violence because the USA can’t muster the political willpower to rein in guns nor to address the deep sociopolitical issues fucking us up.

If you are not already hooked up with mutual aid groups in your area, and one is available, doing so may unlock some additional resources for you. Local Food, Not Bombs chapters are also good. No one should have to go hungry.

I think that using hours as a 1:1 currency unit does elide some other things, and would run into problems as a true unit of currency, but is a useful thought experiment and gut check for identifying unfair distribution of wealth. You can convince me that in demand specialty knowledge may be worth a bit extra, or that this doesn’t really handle cases like “person A takes 32 hours of work to knit these socks, but person B takes 8 hours of work to knit these socks and makes higher quality ones,” or that the resources involved in something may need to be reflected in the value of a good in a way that doesn’t easily translate into hours, but it still makes you stop and think about what money should actually reflect and whether money is losing connection with the actual things of value.

Did a double-take at your username.

[email protected] is, anyway. I see it in all sometimes.

Edit: Or do I? I know I see posts from the Fark RSS feed not infrequently in all, but the actual community so named seems dead.

You may need to take a second read of the comment you’re replying to.

Who is this and what does this have to do with self hosting?

Apparently, r/enshittification directly links Lemmy.world instead of https://join-lemmy.org/ in its header, and Reddit just really enshittified its mobile site, so there’s an influx of people right now specifically to lemmy.world. Cannot imagine that is helping uptime right now.

I think frogs are one of those creatures who can safely survive any fall because their terminal velocity is low enough to be safe. As long as the rocket firing itself didn’t actually injure the frog, it’s probably very confused but fine. There is no way to know for sure, though, unless someone observed the frog landing. Because of this, I choose to believe the frog is okay.

I’d totally missed this story, OMG. Fucking incredible. Thanks for the summary.

Door dash lady?

The down votes tell me this is a meme in poor taste, but I have no idea what this is about beyond that. Would someone mind cluing me in before this post’s probable deletion?

I keep reading it as “slurp-ink,” personally.
