In the spirit of spreading dopamine, I love this way of putting it and may steal this.

!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.

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!

The seeding idea intrigues me… anyone know if there’s already relevant discussions or feature requests on the PeerTube codebase?

I’m not saying I couldn’t see cases where I would seriously consider using calculus in a sewing pattern, but it’s really not used in sewing pattern creation basically ever unless someone already knows it and has a very specific use case. I suspect the OP meant “calculations” or something similar and mis-typed.

I suggest watching these videos from Float Head Physics. They’re just some of the clearest and most intuitive explanations of relativity I’ve seen, and any other explanation I give here would just be me attempting to paraphrase him.

He has a whole playlist on special relativity which is really insightful if you want an even deeper dive, as well as playlists on other things like general relativity and quantum mechanics, all of which are based on building intuition instead of starting with complicated math equations.

He’s the first one to get me to understand the Twin Paradox’s solution! Everywhere else was just like “because of the acceleration,” which never made sense to me and is in fact NOT related to the solution! Hell, his videos are responsible for the only science meme I’ve made and posted here myself.

It’s relativity of simultaneity. It’s always relativity of simultaneity.

It is! Seriously one of the best physics educators out there.

Nope. In your frame of reference, they will still be moving at the speed of light.

And just for good measure on a more intuitive understanding of special relativity, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vitf8YaVXhc and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zkv8sW6y3sY

I love this guy’s videos; the best I have ever seen difficult physics concepts explained, based on intuition and not equations.

I like a good bowl meal. The template is grain/pseudo-grain, legume, two or three veggies, sauce. So you could have a quinoa and chickpea bowl with pickled red onions, kale, and roasted red peppers, topped with a hummus tahini sauce. Or a black bean and rice bowl with pickled jalapeños, grilled corn (which is also technically a grain but it still works as a vegetable) and chopped red tomatoes, with an avocado crema sauce. It’s extremely flexible, easy to make, and good for meal prepping. You can add an additional protein if it’s still not filling enough, like fried tofu or crumbled tempeh or seitan “chicken”.

It’s far from the only way to make an easy, filling veggie meal, but it’s one of the easiest frameworks for people used to the “meat, carb, vegetable side dish” style of meal.

Very good point! Would love to see that researched as well.

Does this imply that pigeons don’t experience the Uncanny Valley? Does it mean that we can determine whether non-human animals experience the Uncanny Valley? Because I would love to see a deep dive into how common that is in the animal kingdom.

Would you describe him as a friend of yours?

Hamsters are specialty pets which require specialty care and knowledge and I wish to God that more people understood this.

Exact same for me.

In retrospect, it’s kind of wild how many of us (myself sadly included) actually believed Google’s “Don’t be evil” thing instead of seeing it as a “My “Not involved in human trafficking” T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.” situation.
