  RE: https://kind.social/@Texan_Reverend/112432142624648275 In light of current major wildfires, I'm reboosting my pinned thread on DIY air cleaners: how to build them, where to source parts, quiet PC fan-based alternatives, etc.

  Today, I was asked about effective air cleaners, because wildfires have already begun to flare in North America. Extensive global testing has found that a DIY #CorsiRosenthalBox will outperform almost every commercial HEPA unit while costing less to run. For the US & Canada, the best source of filters to build one is Costco: Filtrete 1900, 2200, or 2500 models with at least one 20-inch dimension. These units also help mitigate allergens and infectious aerosols like #Covid and Influenza....

  Discord is getting in on the "AI" trend with testing of new features utilizing user data scraping, potentially for training a large language model. To disable the only settings which might affect your data being utilized for this, go to the Privacy & Safety section of your Settings. From there, toggle off both "Use data to improve Discord" and "Use data to customize my Discord experience."

  Just finished inking up a new mask themed on a Purity Ring concert tee, and I'm _really_ pleased with how it turned out. The Sharpie Creative line of water-based acrylic markers is safe for decorating respirators without ruining them. (Attached is a photo of my mask and a photo of the tour shirt it's based on.) #WearAMask #MaskUp

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@flexghost/116392314817680793 I'm sharing this but also piggybacking off it some.

  The excellent and freely distributable COVID Zine has been updated for 2026. https://newlevant.com/COVIDzine This is among the most concise and well cited sources for the current state of #Covid knowledge and tools.

  RE: https://mementomori.social/@rolle/116125657344469470 Now would be an excellent time for @Mastodon devs to prioritize the inclusion of tootctl-style status and media clearing options in the default Admin interface. These issues have been sitting open on GitHub for literal years at this point. Across the network, we need better and more accessible means of managing database and media storage sizes to keep costs more affordable and to reduce server closures. This need is only becoming more an...
