What are some good computer literacy resources I can point someone to?

At my work, I have an employee that struggles with several aspects of the office work parts of the job. She's got almost no basic computer literacy, and only recently was able to create new folders consistently. She also can't really use Excel at all.

She wants to learn, and I spent my whole youth on computers, but I can't spare the hours to teach her everything from the ground up at work. I've done a little YouTube searching to check for basic computing tutorials, but I haven't found anything at a basic enough level yet to be useful to her. I'm sure they exist, but are just eluding me. I think for her, something she can watch and maybe follow along with might be the best option.

WARNING: Lemmy Self-Hosters, There Have Been CSAM Attacks taking place against [email protected]

cross-posted from: https://jamie.moe/post/113630

There have been users spamming CSAM content in ![email protected] causing it to federate to other instances. If your instance is subscribed to this community, you should take action to rectify it immediately. I recommend performing a hard delete via command line on the server.

I deleted every image from the past 24 hours personally, using the following command: sudo find /srv/lemmy/example.com/volumes/pictrs/files -type f -ctime -1 -exec shred {} \;

Note: Your local jurisdiction may impose a duty to report or other obligations. Check with these, but always prioritize ensuring that the content does not continue to be served.

Update

Apparently the Lemmy Shitpost community is shut down as of now.

Missing comments from subscribed community on another instance?

I do the majority of my Lemmy use on my own personal instance, and I've noticed that some threads are missing comments, some large threads, even large quantities of them. Now, I'm not talking about comments not being present when you first subscribe/discover a community to your instance, in this case, I noticed it with a lemmy.world thread that popped up less than a day ago, very well after I subscribed.

At the time of writing, that thread has 361 comments. When I view the same thread on my instance, I can see 118, that's a large swathe of missing content for just one thread. I can use the search feature to forcibly resolve a particular comment to my instance and reply to it, but that defeats a lot of the purpose behind having my own instance.

So has anyone else noticed something similar happening? I know my instance hasn't gone down since I created it, so it couldn't be that.
