Today I learned

mander.xyz is a pretty small instance devoted to science and nature communities. It's relatively tiny compared to lemmy.ml and beehaw.org. In order for a community to appear in the smaller instance's community list it must first be "fetched". To do this, you have to enter the full url for the community you want to fetch into the community search bar.

So for example, I was trying to find [email protected] and it just wasn't coming up in the mander.xyz community list. I tried entering "nfl", "[email protected]" into the search bar. I even navigated to https://mander.xyz/c/[email protected] which was giving me a 404 at the time but is now working after the fetch.

So if you're on a smaller instance and aren't seeing communities from larger instances, try entering the url of the community as it would be hosted from the larger instance. Hit enter to do a fetch, then try typing the name of the community again to execute the search.

PS: I had to do the same trick again on mander.xyz to find this community.

It is used in Tropicana grapefruit juice and Dannin yogurt to name a couple big companies.

That the jumping was staged, that I knew already.

According to https://the-federation.info/lemmy

Every Sikh shrine has a religiously sanctioned moral and humanitarian obligation to serve and provide hospitality, provisions, nourishments and meals to any man, regardless of race, creed, religious profession, identification, or affiliation. At the Langar (the temple's community run free kitchen), food is served to all visitors regardless of faith, religion, or background. Only vegetarian food is served and people eat together as equals. The institution of the Sikh langar was started by the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak. It was designed to uphold the principle of equality between all people regardless of religion, caste, colour, creed, age, gender, or social status. In addition to the ideals of equality, the tradition of langar expresses the ethics of sharing, community, inclusiveness, and oneness of humankind.

The speed and the efficiency of these chips are just insane:

"As just one example, a recent microprocessor design using RISC-V has a clock speed of 5 gigahertz, well above a recent, top-of-the-line Intel Xeon server chip, E7, running at 3.2 gigahertz. Yet the novel RISC-V chip burns just 1 watt of power at 1.1 volts, less than one percent of the power burned by the Intel Xeon." (Source)

Perhaps reading from the source is better? 🙂 https://riscv.org/

Sorry if I'm preaching to the choir, given the type of Lemmy users, in terms of already knowing about RISC-V and in terms of assuming y'all know about the M1. Still, I just learned about RISC-V today, and I'm awed!

My brain is broken. Broken, I tell you.

Tom Stoppard!

Rosencrantz!

Sean Connery!

Guildenstern!

I like reading Tom Stoppard plays even though they suffer from the "ah this woman was written by a man" aura.
