Nearing the 2,000 find mark after ten years of caching on and off, the creative caches have definitely stuck with me more than the rest.

Sometimes it's a particularly unique container, such as one where a metal tube cache sat at the bottom of a PVC pipe, retrieved by pouring water into the pipe, making the cache float to the top as the water drained slowly from holes in the bottom of the pipe.

Sometimes it's a particularly creative puzzle, such as one where I had to use GIMP to see what barely noticeable differences the cache owner had made to a picture, revealing the faint outlines of Roman numerals and a Morse code sequence that gave the cache's final coordinates.

What are some of the most creative caches that you guys have found so far?

Since 2017, Wikipedia editors have compiled a list of news sources from which articles are highly likely to employ systematic bias, lack professional editing and/or journalistic standards, regularly misrepresent sources, and/or fabricate information.

While its list is by no means a complete list of publications with the aforementioned problems, it has helped make Wikipedia articles more reliable by basing them off of sources covering the same events and information from a less biased point of view.

To make Lemmy news communities better than their Reddit counterparts, I think avoiding links to those sources in favor of more reliable alternatives would be worthwhile.

In the months since I deleted my Reddit accounts and joined Lemmy, the lack of user base growth has made it clear that we need some users to stay on Reddit as a means of shepherding more users over on an ongoing basis. Otherwise, Reddit simply got what it wanted: less users who make a fuss about how it manages its platform without losing users en-masse.

In doing so, however, does Reddit shadowban posts that mention or promote Lemmy? Googling mentions of Lemmy on Reddit mostly brings up posts from around the time of the blackout, suggesting that mentions of it since then have been suppressed. Before I return to Reddit to promote Lemmy, does anyone know for certain one way or the other?

While my initial motivation to try usenet was to find releases that weren't being seeded on torrent trackers, I've found it to be a helpful alternative to keeping content seeded on my laptop's limited hard drive for extended amounts of time. To increase the chances that I find what I'm looking for, I check several usenet indexers simultaneously, preferring to use ones that have lifetime subscriptions (altHUB, Miatrix, and NZBGeek). Should those three lack what I'm looking for, I also use DrunkenSlug, NZB Finder, and Tabula Rasa, as their free plans can be used indefinitely. Aside from the six aforementioned indexers, are there any good ones that I've missed with free plans that don't expire?

From what I remember DogNZB, NinjaCentral, and NZBPlanet either have limited-time free plans or require account activity at least once every two weeks, which is why I chose to forego them in favor of the six I use now.

While many great puzzle games have a fixed number of levels, I'd like to find more with procedurally-generated levels to maximize replay value. Aside from Minesweeper games, so far I've found the following ones:

• Hexcells Infinite
• InfiniPicross 2.0
• KNIGHTS
• Lines Infinite
• Linklight
• LOOP

Trying to help my grandparents find a new detective show to watch. For reference, here's what they've already watched:

Bosch Bosch: Legacy Beyond Paradise Death in Paradise Elementary Endeavour Father Brown Lewis Lie to Me Longmire Marple Midsomer Murders Murdoch Mysteries NCIS Poirot Shetland The Brokenwood Mysteries The Mentalist

While they generally seem to prefer British detective shows, I'm not sure which ones are left to recommend to them.

In navigating Lemmyverse for potential communities to subscribe to, it would be helpful to be able to redirect links to my home instance in a new tab to facilitate sorting through multiple communities at a time. Ideally, the option would be implemented with the ability to enable or disable either of the two context menu items to minimize context menu cluttering.
