I've got a new problem in #DwarfFortress. There are a bunch of decomposing animals in my meeting hall. I have several dwarves with the hauling/burial job and two different out-of-the-way corpse stockpiles, but nobody seems to be doing anything about it. What am I missing? Miasma is not terribly fun.

So, a tchncs' #PeerTube instance seems to have lost a bunch of my videos wth their migration to the new storage backend. I've asked for support on this, but haven't heard anything back from them. The last public statement I saw from them on the issue was that they didn't know how to fix it. That was months ago.

I have everything backed up, so I'm thinking about either re-uploading them, or (more likely) rehosting elsewhere. I'd love to self-host a PeerTube instance, as I've upgraded my internet connection since I last considered that, but the machine I'm currently hosting most of my services from has limited storage (128GB) and I'm already finding myself needing to make decisions about what to keep and what not to. I'm considering automatically pruning old posts from my Friendica node, as that's taking up a fair chunk of space. I'd love to upgrade my "server" to a NUC with 1TB of storage, but that's a little out of my price range at the moment.

I've also looked at diode.zone, but their terms of service specifically prohibit music under the YouTube license which a couple of my videos use... though, I suppose I could re-edit them.* I am a little concerned that they are a relatively popular server. Popular servers tend to have their mod teams stretched pretty thin, though I don't know if that's particularly been a problem over there. Even if it isn't an issue now, it may become so in the future.

Are there other options I'm missing here? My preference would be to self-host if at all possible, as video tends to consume a non-trivial amount of resources.

* I probably should anyway, since they're apparently not compatible with the Creative Commons licenses I'm using.

#DwarfFortress keeps finding new ways to surprise me (which I love).

I have a tiny sliver of river to fish at. One of my fisherdwarves drowned, and I apparently needed to bury him, which I didn't know. Now he's a ghost haunting the river, so nobody else wants to fish there either.

This is less than ideal.

There's a thing I've been seeing a lot on the fediverse: people intentionally obfuscating words that tend to be triggering.

An argument for doing this on traditional social media can be made in order to avoid being silenced by some algorithm that decides what should and should not be seen based on an opaque set of ever-changing rules. Here on the fediverse there is no such algorithm. There is essentially no valid reason for doing so here.

In fact, any such filter that does exist here is generally put in place by the users themselves, and an attempt to evade such is essentially a violation of their consent.

I understand the argument about CWs, in that there's no way to foresee everything that could possibly upset someone, but there is no good argument in favour of this.

Perhaps for some it's a learned behaviour from the more traditional social media platforms, but if so, I humbly suggest unlearning it.
