I have two favorite navigational applications that utilizes OSM-data: Organic Maps/CoMaps (there's a lot of drama here that you can read up on if it interests you, but CoMaps was forked from Organic Maps after some mismanagement of funds was uncovered) for a clean, simple and quick navigation experience and OsmAnd~ for a very tailored experience that takes some time to get into, but gives you a way to set up different profiles for walking, hiking, cycling, public transport, driving etc. The premium version with a full feature set (~) can be purchased in Apple Store and Google Play Store, but is offered for free through F-Droid on Android.
I mentioned tasks.hotosm.org. Here is a cool writeup of the project which introduced me to it just some weeks ago, which was posted somewhere on Lemmy: https://sheets.works/data-viz/strangers-draw-maps
I also use StreetComplete to solve some outstanding questions about features in the neighborhoods I walk in, such as the quality of the road surfaces, whether a street is lit or not and speed limits. Organized as small tasks that show up as icons on the map. Kinda like a Pokémon Go-experience, as Wiz@midwest.social described it as. There's another one called Every Door that is supposed to be better for adding information about points of interests (shops, restaurants, monuments, drinking fountains, etc. etc.). I have not tried that yet. I also have Verspucci installed that is a more full-fledged editor for Android, for when I want to make more detailed edits. A bit steeper learning curve. I have not used it that much yet, but I did update some very out-of-date restaurants in a city I visited earlier this Summer.
Bluetooth can be turned off, but for security issues in the modem, welll… Not if you want to use it as a phone.
I often hear this and other comments like "If you don't upgrade your system software immediately you are already hacked" etc. But I've never seen any description of what actually can happen with a phone that goes without updates for some time - how often are vulnerabilities in the modem found for instance, and have there ever been a widely exploited attack?
Interesting - I always considered that they would run off immediately, so I have kinda discarded the idea of releasing winged helpers. But if they have sufficient food, that might not be the case. The scale of my balcony is a bit smaller than yours - I'm at about 20-25 plants now mid-Summer.
Do you restart the population every year, or do they overwinter?
No, I only used dish soap together with the canola oil, and I think the oil is the culprit when it comes to the residue I saw. Maybe I should try dish soap only! Thanks for the tip.
I've spent some time the last day to look for it - I found one shop that sells it locally. I am not sure if they are trustworthy or some vibe coded scam, but I will look more into them and order a small bottle if I decide that they are trustworthy. What is your experience using it?
The indoor herbs that are plagued with fungus gnats do get dry, but perhaps not always, so something I can keep an eye on. Sometimes they get a little too dry though, so I have now a failed attempt at some summer savory that I need to reseed if I am ever going to get a taste. Since my broad beans aren't fruiting, it is not such a rush anyway :p
Moving my technological dependencies from big tech companies to self-hosted, open source solutions, running Linux on my machines etc.
Gardening on my balcony. I am growing tomatoes, broad beans, peppers (chilis, bell) and an assortment of salads and herbs. I am mostly self-sufficient on herbs, during growing season I am fully self-sufficient on salads. Pretty far from it on tomatoes and peppers, and especially on beans as they are not fruiting :(
In general getting more in touch with local flora. I've been photographing flowering plants in my neighborhood lately and identifying them, trying to learn what grows around here. Goal is to be quite well-versed in local flora, including what is edible (and how to use it) and not
Contributing to OpenStreetMap, both in my neighborhood and also through tasks.hotosm.org where I help trace missing buildings in disaster-struck places for first-responders to use (and in preparation for possible disasters in the future). This kind of collaborative project I find to be very solarpunky.
Living in a rented apartment, there is only so much I can make changes here. There was an initiative to install solar panels, but it was voted down for some reason - not being an owner, I am not involved in those discussions. Dream is to find a small house outside the city to expand my garden and to become as off-grid as possible.
Nice collection, thanks! No overlap with the books I had already acquired (mostly from looking at the curricula of various biology university study programmes), so some good additions to my library. :)
Great video, and very timely for me as I've very recently started to learn more about the local flora and about plant biology as well. This was some very welcome additional content :)
Cheers - seems there are multiple things I could have done. I would rather avoid having to do a reprint, but it may be necessary.
Upon closer inspection, I think the geometry of the bottom part is designed in such as way that it comes out with a lot of cavities (it is slanted, requiring multiple steps). It could be that it will be very difficult print properly to begin with.
I personally would not consider superglue harmful enough to worry about plants seeping enough of it to affect the health of me eating the plant, and it’s not food grade. I’ve used it to fix cracked humidifier reservoirs in a greenhouse for example.
I would want to avoid something that leeches off into the water. That said, I am going to dilute it quite a lot since the stuff will be very concentrated. Super glue could be a little expensive for this though? I think coating the whole bed would take multiple small containers.
That being said, most epoxy resin dries food grade. I don’t think you’d have to search hard for a very well performing Resin with food grade search term swapped with dining surface or some frequent use that requires food grade.
I know very little about epoxy resin, but that is what I often see - but is it really basically the same stuff that is used to repair boats as people use for decorations? The safety data sheets for the components are always pretty rough, but they of course say nothing about the cured state.
Oh, that is an interesting idea that I hadn't thought of. I might be able to buy it from a local beeskeeper, and I think I have a small amount lying around somewhere I could test with.
I am using PrusaSlicer. Not sure if that check box is present in that, or if it was added in OrcaSlicer or BambuSlicer.
I might've printed with only two walls, I will need to check tomorrow when I'm at the correct machine. And thanks for the video recommendation, I will be sure to check it out!
Didn't think of aquariums. Would assume this should be food safe, since it will be in contact with environment of living things. Would you happen to know whether it has any good adhesion to PETG?
I might've printed with only two. But I'd like to avoid having to reprint, if possible, and instead fix it with some post-processing. I think the leakage is actually concentrated on certain points near the front leg slot, so it does not seem to generally seep through the entire bed.
I am not that concerned with the traffic, but I want to dissuade them from adding my texts to their corpus if possible. More out of principles than out of any illusion that it has any real, practical consequences.
Currently my plan is to serve a restrictive robots.txt (which I assume is completely ignored), pass traffic through Anubis with a policy that allows regular browsers without challenge but denies known scrapers (I don't really think they send truthful user agent strings so this probably won't do much either), and configure Nginx to be more aggressive with rate limiting. I also plan to license texts under a non-commercial CC license (which I also don't think will really prevent them).
I wonder if anyone have experience with such setup and can report how much or little this actually does anything?
The full, more interactive and JS-enabled site will issue challenges though.
Nice, cool to hear!

Maybe I'll just risk it, I won't be ruined from it :p

Oh no, don't worry - it was a great suggestion, and I'll check it out for myself, just asked in case you already knew :) Thanks!
I would have assumed that dentists do not use the same consumer-grade stuff you buy in your local shop. Do you know for sure that they do?

Nice - I am about to repot my tomato seedlings now as well. I have planted Garderner's Delight, Venus and Ildi this year.
This was a cool read, thanks for sharing :)
Hehe, now there are three different suggestions for a gravity-feed system, so I will need to take a closer look at how I could set that up!
Thank you (and to the other suggestors)! :)
