Check out the audio file in this article linked from the original post. Very cool. https://www.openculture.com/2013/10/what-ancient-greek-music-sounded-like.html

Amazing find. And check out the Arrowhead next to it. Excellent craftsmanship.

The Battle for Wesnoth is my all-time favorite FOSS. Can’t understate it.

Hmm. The server is up right now. Does it give an error or just sit there?

I can say I’ve had horrible luck trying to sign up through the apps. It works much better through a standard browser for initial sign up.

One more for Bitwarden. You can even run your own local server and avoid using the cloud.

I joined mander.xyz because it has a central theme around the natural sciences. It could possibly include STEM content as well; there is an ongoing discussion about it. The admin(s) are present and very responsive.

For anyone with a love of science and/or nature I recommend it highly as a home instance of Lemmy.

“Like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass,” the CEO wrote.

This is true. By sheer population most Redditors never left. But I’d say a core percentage responsible for actually making content has moved on and won’t be back.

It’s interesting that larger wings improve thermoregulation in both hot and cold climates. Nice find!

Click on the double square icon to the right of the bookmark button. That will start a crosspost. But it doesn’t work in the mobile app. You’ll have to be on the website.

It’s getting better! All the time! This was just posted yesterday.

As expected, it’s pretty limited. I mainly use Briess Sorghum Extract Syrup as a base and add ingredients from there. As brew bases go it’s pretty mild, so it takes a bit of supplemental grain steeps to add color.

Biodiversity would be the closest to my interests. But if @kevin would like it that’s fine by me 😁

I’m game to share the load as well. Not so much archeology, but biology, physics, chemistry, pretty much all STEM fields would be great.

The newsgroup server I’m on is actually called eternal-september.org in remembrance.

Same here as well. I uninstalled rif and replaced its icon with Jerboa. I don’t even notice the difference until the screen loads 😄

But alas, since I’m not a celiac myself, and testing is too expensive, I won’t put the burden on an actual celiac how well this works in my setup.

Exactly. My engineering background forces me to keep a tight control on processing and it pains me to not have cheap access to testing. Unless that changes I’ll continue with a fully gluten-free process chain.

The process doesn’t change from regular brewing. It’s strictly an ingredient change and a clean work area to prevent cross-contamination. Any malt made from grains besides barley, wheat, or rye is safe. The default is sorghum malt, and what we use for the majority of our sugar load. In a similar manner to baking/cooking gluten free you end up using a lot of other ingredients to replace one or two main gluten-containing ingredients. I’m on the road for vacation right now but can post some recipes when I get home.

We also looked at post-processing for removal of gluten in regular brews, but since I don’t work in a compatible lab anymore it I don’t have reliable testing available.

The biggest restriction is in malting. Since gluten is present in wheat, barley, and rye it can be difficult to find a good brew base. We use sorghum malt as our starting point and spice it from there. A lot of times we will also roast something like red quinoa and let it soak in the wort for added color.

It was hard enough getting everyone on the same text messaging service. I think migrating to a federated service will break the family 🤣

I’m still considering it to replace my small discord server. But that’s a group of tech-y friends who like to try out new things.

My personal take on it is that such behavior comes from the large-site mentality. Smaller subs initially do have higher levels of discourse, but each posting account is still sharing a karma score across the entire site. Eventually it shifts to discussion-ending posts with high upvotes.

I have high hopes that the decentralized nature of things like Lemmy will help preserve quality topic discussion. Lemmy.ml being overloaded pushed me to find a server instance more in line with my individual topics and ending up joining a very nice science community. Shout-out to Mander.xyz
