16.5% of new car sales are compact crossovers, but only 6% of those are EVs.

As I'm sure some of you noticed, very shortly after Ernest posted the update to KBin that allowed for abandoned magazine adoption, I took over this magazine.

After a quick flurry of activity kicking the former moderator and owner who hadn't logged in in over 3 months and using a spammer as some target practice for my shiny new ban hammer, I haven't done much aside from contribute a pair of crossposts.

It's been quiet, which is totally okay of course. There are other great Threadiverse selfhosted communities I hope all who are interested have already found.

But I'd ideally like to find a niche for this community to fill. My small contribution back to the community at large I've been benefitting from for over a decade now.

Do any of you have cool ideas? We could do themed days, giveaways, weekly posts, a wiki, a matrix server, whatever really.

Or we could simply update the sidebar to redirect to other selfhosting communities.

Any and all ideas welcome!

Good conversation here. I migrated from Duplicati/B2 to Kopia/B2, happy with it so far!

Not your typical selfhosting, but a very cool use case.

WASHINGTON—Shedding light on the enduring appeal behind assault rifle ownership, a Pew study released Monday revealed that more Americans were buying AR-15s to defend themselves from toddlers who found their guns. “Many Americans stressed that they felt safer knowing they had an AR-15 at the ready in case their toddler stumbled across a shoebox holding a loaded gun on the floor of a closet and started firing away,” said researcher Jonathan Lieu, noting that the majority of AR-15 owners told his team they purchased the lightweight rifle due to their recurring fears about waking in the night to their 2-year-old giggling as they shot bullet holes through the bedroom door. “One response we often heard was that it was a Second Amendment right for gun owners to defend themselves against their own young children. They also stressed that a baseball bat or pepper spray simply wasn’t enough firepower to take down their gun-toting kids.” Lieu added that many Americans also rushed out to purchase tear gas grenades after their children inevitably got their hands on the AR-15s.
