Sadly I haven't seen any active communities here on Lemmy; Reddit has/had one (I haven't checked in on them in a long while though). As to what resources you would need for a refresher, I'd recommend something like Wheelock's Latin Reader, which is full of adapted and original texts to get you some practice. As to the grammar side of things, either a formal reference grammar like Allen and Greenough's or Bennet's. If you want something more structured, I'd recommend a collegiate textbook, such as A New Latin Primer (I use this with both my collegiate and (upper-level) high school students). Lastly, if you'd like some bite-sized refreshers on specific topics, Latin Tutorial on Youtube is a good resource. Hope that helps! Edit: Turns out Bennet's grammar is available at the Latin Library: https://www.thelatinlibrary.com/bennett.html

As a Latin teacher I can back up your assessment; well done! And 100% agree on Cicero, especially his private letters.

Perhaps not as full featured as the others, but I host wiki.js for my knowledge base on my local server.

Same, flashbacks to being in college trying to get Wi-Fi working in Fedora on my laptop and then struggling to get it to work with my uni's new Wi-Fi system. Frustrating, but a great learning experience as you said.

Totally agree on that one, honeydew is so much better

I'm not a fan of the skin on starfruit, but the taste is fantastic. OTOH, if even half of what I've heard about durian is correct, that's quite the bold statement to make there

They are also accused of knowingly having asbestos in their baby powder. As to the baby formula, I know Nestle had a major scandal with that stuff, but I didn't know about J&J doing similar.

Neither; I don't like the feeling of something on my wrist. I used to have a pocket watch, but finding a modern one is rather difficult, so I just use my phone.

I recently did that with a Debian 3 (r8 I think) disc, that whole experience was a blast from the past!

 

This should come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to Google, but it's a reminder to get off of their services if you're concerned about your data privacy. A Slashdot commenter wondered whether this also applies to the contents of emails on gmail. I'm going to assume it does.
