Thanks, that's a bit more meat. Should probably look for their publications.
I know shrine from another place and used to trust him. However, among other things, he silently dropped privileges on other mod accounts on /r/libgen and /r/scihub. I wanted to point you to a pinned post of mine for the gory details, but that seems to be no longer there. I'm not going to check the mod log who cleaned up but just going to assume it was him.
So, I no longer trust him to be a good steward of a community and will not work with him on any project.
That's run by shrine, who I no longer trust.
Her parents have been harassed. She herself will not return to Germany for fear of persecution.

It is illegal in Germany to voice a nonmainstream opinion. See https://linkezeitung.de/2022/06/16/meinungsfreiheit-deutsche-staatsanwaltschaft-ermittelt-gegen-alina-lipp/ for a case citing the relevant laws. Other countries like Czechia and some Baltic countries have similar legislation. It is not yet illegal to bypass blocks of censored mass media like e.g. RT, Sputnik News or any Russian TV channel.
Lemmy.world is hosted at Hetzner in Germany.
The same country where lemmy.world is hosted, but there are multiple countries in the EU on track to implement 1984 down to the letter.
Latest Nature explains it was not superconductivity.
Thanks, good info. Never had any problems with pfsense or opnsense with Intel server NICs personally. Other than being fried.
In the country I live I can literally go to jail if I voice opinions other than "unprovoked Russian aggressive attack". Presumably the more timid local Lemmy instance owners would fear liability.
