Nature and Gardening @beehaw.org

I'm about to give up my organic balcony gardening experiment. This is a cry for help.

  • Obsidian or Logseq.

    I've used Logseq for my lab journal, thoughts, and whatsoever, and it works excellent for that.

    • You can link different things/ dates with each entry
    • Markdown
    • Functions and querys
    • Local
    • Very flexible
    • And you can find pretty much every thought you've ever had, nothing is lost.

    It can be tricky tho if you want to collaborate, because the sync isn't perfect yet, but the devs are working really hard on it

  • I have good experiences with cuneiform. You only need a bit of clay, a wedge and some dedication.

    Especially in meetings it has the advantage that it is less noisy compared to your rock and won't ever be noticed in your tribes meetings.

    It doesn't support real Markdown tho

  • Great. The next logical step in this evolution is going back to pen and paper, lol

  • !nolawns@slrpnk.net

    Fuck lawns!

    Have you considered native pollinator meadows, moss gardens or clover? They have an actual use for nature too, are pretty much zero maintenance and are not just eye candy 😉

  • Fedora Atomic because I don't fucking care what package manager and whatnot sits underneath.

    I just wanna relax in my free time and not worry about all this fucking nerd stuff.

  • @arschflugkoerper@feddit.org I have nothing useful to contribute, but I fucking love your username. Thank you for the smirk you gave me, have a nice evening mein Genosse 👋

  • Could you please flag the post with the correct language, so that not everyone sees it?

  • Kvaesitso is totally underrated and fucking awesome. Can 100% recommend it and is totally unique.

    • FOSS
    • Customizable
    • Very capable. E.g., you can convert units or have an inbuilt calculator by using the spotlight search
    • Smooth and beautiful animations
    • Plugins
    • Minimalist
  • Liquid Trees

    Jump
  • Does this count too?

    I already posted this on !balconygardening@slrpnk.net. .

    I'm purposefully growing duckweed on my balcony.
    I'm doing !hydroponics@slrpnk.net, and by doing that, I have lots of waste water with still good fertilizer in it.

    Duckweed is one of the fastest growing, nutrient densest and least demanding plant out there, and you can just scoop it out with a strainer.

    It's exponentially growing and if you don't wanna eat it, it makes great organic fertiliser or animal feed with lots of protein and micronutients!

  • CasaOS isn't an OS, it's just the web interface you install afterwards you have Debian or whatever running

  • I can recommend you Debian, since it's the "default" for many servers and has a lot of documentation and an extremely big userbase.

    For web interfaces, I can recommend you, as you already mentioned, CasaOS and Cockpit.

    I used CasaOS in the beginning and liked it, but nowadays, I mostly use Cockpit, where I have the feeling that it integrates the host system more, and allows me to do most of my maintenance (updating, etc.) quite easily.

    CasaOS is more aesthetic imo, and allows you to install docker containers graphically, which is better for beginners.
    I personally do my docker stuff mostly via CLI (docker compose file) nowadays, because I find it more straightforward, but the configuration CasaOS offers is easier to understand and has nice defaults

  • I replied to @muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee and understood the question like "Is distrobox as secure as QubesOS?", which I replied with "No".

    I'd say Fedora Atomic is definitely a bit more secure than other distros (e.g. Ubuntu, regular Fedora, etc.) for reasons you mentioned, but if you are a user that thinks that only Qubes offers the security you need, than there's no alternative.

    I can recommend you Secureblue tho as a good middle ground.
    It's Fedora Atomic, but hardened, a bit like GrapheneOS. Still viable for comfortable everyday use, but much more secure.

  • What's your problem with the image based OS?

    If there's really anything you need, you can layer it or build your own image quite easily.

  • You don't run a VM for everything with Bazzite, Distrobox is more like Flatpak or WSL in that regard.

    It also isn't much more secure, it's just that everything is a bit more contained and comes with their own dependencies.

  • Testing alcohol by scent or by flame are neither guaranteed nor safe methods, however, to test for the presence of methanol more effectively, you can apply sodium dichromate to a sample of the beverage. To do so, mix 8 mL of a sodium dichromate solution with 4 mL of sulfuric acid. Swirl gently to mix, then add 10 drops of the mixed solution to a test tube or other small container containing the alcohol. Swirl this container gently a few times, then waft the air from the mouth of the container towards your nose by fanning the air toward you with a hand, with the container placed roughly 8-12 inches from your face. Take note of the scent: If it is pungent and irritating, methanol is present in the alcohol. If the scent is dominating and fruity, only ethanol is present, and the beverage is safe.

  • I'm constantly switching between Gnome and KDE (Bluefin, Aurora, Bazzite, Kinoite, Silverblue, whatever) and I never had any issues.
    The only thing that gets messed up a bit is theming, where I have to change the GTK theme, and sometimes the window buttons when I go from KDE to Gnome, which is also reverted in just one click in Gnome tweaks.

  • There is also F-Droid for FOSS software if you're interested, and Obtainium for stuff that's not available on F-Droid. Maybe check that out?

  • +1 for uBlue (Aurora, Bazzite).

    Everything you want and need is already set up for you, and the OS is just in the background for your games and other software to run on. No need to install any codecs, or even updating it, because it's already done for you. And if something breaks, then you can just roll back in seconds.

    Very user friendly.

    Is anybody else a bit disappointed about the recent days with Fedora Atomic?
