In practice, who do you know that's using it and doesn't run Arch, by the way?

Well I mostly run Debian, but I do have arch on a machine so maybe I don't count.

It's that they're not designed for non-technical users.

Have to agree there, it takes some effort if you're setting it up for friends and family.

Xmpp supports group chat, 1:1 messaging, you've got webtrc support for voice/video, and its extensible.

Jingle even has screen sharing (and I think a WIP remote control function).

What is missing from xmpp?

Check the sidebar, go through the wiki, find what you need.

Rounded corners are not unique to a single site, or even hard to do with basic editors.

What gives it away to you isn't really relevant to the rules of the community.

Without the microblog portion, its just looks like any random meme. Its very cropped to the point of having no visible relation to xitter.

Mods are listed in the sidebar.

Per the modlog, there were multiple instances of posts they felt ignored the rules. So it doesnt appear as though it was an overreaction, so much as "well, repeat offender, let's move on then".

Messaging the mods would make much more sense than making a ptb post about something where it appears you were a repeat offender within a short period of time.

Edited to add: it also appears you've broken the same rule about 10 times in 2 months and you got a temp ban.

This doesn't come across as ptb even slightly. YDI.

They are the aliens from They Live trying to normalize their appearance before removing the masks?

Sweetie

Ew.

Dude. Just fucking stop. This is going way beyond into pretty disgusting territory.

Edited to add: Your "response" is noted. Not into the casual sexism, and I find it extremely odd that you had no idea about goat. Just going to go ahead and save myself the headache now and block.

point is it wasn't always a dog whistle

It was used to describe indigenous people of Africa and America to promote eugenics (at least to the 19th century).

It was popularized by the Nazis as a specifically far right term, to describe anything that didnt meet Nazi ideals.

When its used to discuss culture (art, religion, etc) or traits of a person (sexuality, race, gender expression, etc), its a really blatant dog whistle.

Like everything, context matters, but it absolutely has been one for a very long time.

Its more that it does effectively nothing.

You don't even need to run an instance to see vote history. ActivityPub federates all activity across, and lemmy does not obfuscate in any way.

Any real change to address this would have to be done much lower than whether or not lemvotes sees it.

LOL sure thing bud.

.... you all do know that goat specifically says they just like riling people up, right?

And you're just gobbling down the nonsense and getting riled up?

With claims of things that go directly against the rules of the instance?

This is some weird ass shit stirring going on. Enjoy your manufactured drama folks.

Desemboque del Seri, a community in northern Mexico, has seen stunning results after installing solar panels in family vegetable gardens.

Verónica Molina, a member of the indigenous Comcaac community, has led the charge, according to Inter Press Service. After learning about solar farms in India in 2016, that experience inspired her to change how her community functioned.

This change has allowed Molina's community to save money and live in a healthier environment. While this technology is relatively new to Mexico, Molina's work has the potential to revolutionize how many people live.

"With the panels, we pay less for energy, and with the gardens we save money on vegetables," Molina said in a translated statement to IPS.

 

The Berkley Method is the quick way to compost - the claim being 14 days, but most find 18 days to be the right pick.

A great way to make use of manure as well, some have the right ratio ready to go.

I'm not sure if it's a tad dry, or if that's just how challah works, this is only my second attempt. Still tasty though!

I used the America's Test Kitchen recipe which calls for an internal temperature of 195F after 35-40 minutes, but I got to about 210F at 30 minutes.

Plywood for the main box (3/4" sides, 1/4" back, rabbet and dado joints). Cut the door 1" too narrow so I added a handle from cedar scrap. Shelves and sheet pan brackets are reclaimed bed slats, planed. Window hole is routed with plexiglass insert, my first time doing any significant router work.

The brackets for the baking sheet have a cutout to accommodate two bowls. My goal was either two bowls or two baking sheets.

An obvious improvement would be to install an under-counter outlet so the cord is less prominent.

Heating is from a 45W incandescent bulb (which was the hardest part to find). It's in the top of an old desk lamp. Adding an 8x8" pan of hot water kept the humidity high so I didn't have to cover the rising bread. Temperature/humidity logging is from an SHT30 (plus two DS18B20s) running Tasmota and reportig to HomeAssistant, viewed in Grafana. I expected to have to cycle the light, but just keeping it always on seems to give me the right temperature range.

I ended up coming across videos from Kris Harbour, who makes wildly cool things - such as this working wind turbine - which are incredibly useful for off-grid living. A worthwhile addition here, and a very worthy channel to archive.

The important parts:

Most state extension services will perform a detailed soil analysis for a small fee, but you have to wait for the results. Many people take a soil sample in spring, but you can home-test the soil at any time during the year. There are soil test kits for sale at most home improvement stores, but a no-cost, at-home soil test is simple, can be done in any spot in your garden, and takes just a glass jar. Once you complete the test, you can use the results to figure out what to add to your soil to improve it.

Step-by-Step Soil Test

  • Clean a pint or quart mason jar and lid
  • Fill the jar about halfway with soil. I like to do several different tests, isolating spots in the garden—a jar from each flower bed, for example. That’s because the soil may differ from spot to spot
  • Fill up the rest of the jar with water, leaving a bit of headspace in order to shake up the contents
  • Tighten the lid and give the jar a good shake for two to three minutes
  • Put the jar down and let it rest for four to five hours. As the jar is resting, you might notice the soil doing something interesting: It’s separating into distinct layers: sand at the bottom, silt in the middle, and clay at the top.

Analyze Your Soil

After completing the soil test, you need to determine the percentages in your mason jar. Measure each of the three layers and calculate approximately how much space each takes up in the jar. That’s the approximate makeup of your soil, and indicates what soil type you have
