Already on that instance and there is a post by me where I am converting the UB Tek instructions from Reddit. ;)

The main concern is the odd way that Rule 1 is being applied, s'all.

Shrooms are becoming decriminalized and even legalized across the US now. It's a shame that the admins banned the community at all on lemmy.world. By their logic, they should also ban marijuana related communities. ItS sTiLl iLleGal!!!

Psilocybin is a very interesting and useful chemical and it is just stupid for it to be censored. What do those admins wish to accomplish? Shhhhhhh! Don't talk about something that may help with mental disorders or even PTSD. Mushroom bad!

Of all the good things that lemmy.world admins do, this is ranks as one of the dumbest and short sighted.

I will probably start COShroomGrowers. It's not illegal here and their argument becomes moot.

They are just trying to emulate Google.

Rate limiting only goes so far. 10 requests for a 1 second operation is the same thing as 1 request for a 10 second operation. Any CDN, like CloudFlare, can't do too much about web requests that are super taxing on the database.

The bot nets that are doing this can be worse than a hydra. If you block one bot, several more pop up to take over where the other left off. Even worse, the requests that the bots are making are legitimate. If you start throttling the specific requests that are too taxing, you are likely going to cause issues for legitimate users that need the same data.

Additionally, the number of NAT'ed egress IP addresses are much higher than you might think. Blocking just one IP address could mean that you are blocking thousands of users behind that address.

Sometimes, the best option is to absorb the traffic and ensure that your application is running extremely efficiently.

This is a complex problem, for sure.

Edit: I just realized that the context OP is talking about is a quite a bit different than what I am talking about.

It can work, but it literally has to be a community effort to raise that many kids. I come from a small family, but my wife didn't. She is Asian and she has 7 siblings. However, she grew up in a very strong, multifamily community that have all been close since they escaped Laos at the tail end of the Vietnam war.

Everyone tries to help for the most part and generally everyone has the same values between the different families. Kids just kinda grew up in several different houses at once around a ton of family and that is just how it was.

I can't really say that I know all the nuances of being raised in a large family, but when I started dating my wife 20+ years ago, I can say they just pulled me right into fold. It has been an interesting journey so far.

We may be able to tell if they are stressed, which could be related to pain, depending on your viewpoint.

Here is a recent study of audible reactions plant can have to stress: https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(23)00262-3

Do plants react to stress and harmful situations like infestation? Absolutely. Do they actually feel pain as we understand it? Probably not since they lack a nervous system.

This boils down to the question: What is pain?

It's like an updoot but with no karmas and is loaded with protein. Kind of like my cock.

I'll always be 15 in my heart and other sites do suck.

I hope you like Linux, btw. You are hanging with some old school nerds now. :)

That means exactly the opposite for youtube. It will double-down on its "algo" smarts.
