Awesome response, and a great succinct postmortem. Thanks for doing what you do!

If done via hacked admin credentials, this is a great advertisement for enabling 2FA anywhere it's supported. AIUI Lemmy is also getting support for this for user accounts soon (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2363)

Thanks, I appreciate it - looks like I've got some bedtime reading for awhile :)

This is interesting and something I've not heard of - can you recommend a starter link for someone with a basic stats background? I had some in undergrad, but this sounds like a topic that could get very tinfoil-hat-y if not searched correctly and with good context.

You've done awesome with this instance. It's great to hear you're taking a break and paying attention to burnout - it's not all on you, so take the time you need to center yourself and get your mojo back. We'll be waiting, but not in the creepy or stressful way hopefully ^^

I for one welcome the long furby renaissance.

Honestly I've posted more to Lemmy in the last couple days than I have on Reddit in the last 8 years - it's easier because Lemmy feels like a smaller place... Like announcing yourself to a small room of people vs getting on a soapbox on a crowded main street.

 

Hi everyone! Figured I'd introduce myself to the community by posting a thing I just made this morning.

I needed to cut 2" thick memory foam for some cushions I was making for my wife - using scissors felt awkward, so I grabbed some nichrome wire and ceramic insulators from a different project, and hooked them up to a variac to control the heat.

I was sure to connect earth ground to the stainless steel wire support and to the table to ensure it was safe-ish. All in all, not a bad result for an hour of side questing.
