Hi, I’m currently at an eco-village, and had a discussion about washing dishes per hand vs using a dishwasher. I was not completely sure, but have read somewhere, that a dishwasher is more efficient (in terms of energy and water usage). I just fact-checked that and indeed, when not being super careful by handwashing (no running water, using very little detergent, rather cold water etc.), a dishwasher is more efficient.
I think it would be super useful to have a dense wiki for stuff like this for everyday life, because it’s so easy to think that something different is more efficient. Because at first thought it doesn’t sound immediately intuitive.
Does anybody know if there’s something like this? And if not, it probably makes sense to start a wiki like that.
Could be good, might need also a talk page, ‘rules’ (effort for mods) …? I suppose not too much demand on servers if just plain text, but how does this federate? For example, if I read a slrpnk wiki from sopuli, does sopuli have to pick up every edit, or only if I visit a page, or do i need an account on slrpnk to use it ?
My imagination is that the wiki is hosted on the instance that also hosts the news/posts. It is one page per topic, a basic Markdown/HTML document. Probably an existing wiki-software could be used. I imagine you have to be logged in to do edits, and also there is a public change-history. Maybe a mod would have to approve of the changes first. If you visit the wiki as a reader, a copy of the page has to be sent. It would be lightweight on traffic though, since text is typically lightweight. I must suggest such a feature immediately on my home instance. Thank you
