Turns out it is weirdly fascinating to snap pictures of #moss to share with #mosstodon
This one, says Lens, is called Cladonia portentosa and I found her very strange. The color, the shape. Look like something straight out of a Petri dish.
Over the past few days, great progress has been made in porting our package tooling from Python 2 to Python 3! Every little bit brings us closer to not having any reliance on Python 2, and puts us in a better place for the eventual transition to #moss.
Here are the highlights:
Fixed a huge lzma compression speed regression
Ported back to iksemel from lxml due to performance regressions
These weird little cups are growing up out of the mulch in the garden bed in shady spots. We live in Brisbane, Australia.
They're about 9mm high and have a 7mm opening at the top. They appear to contain 3-8 silvery-grey... coins? Seeds? Spores? Some are closed over at the top with an off-white cap. They are bristly on the undersides of the "cup" portion.
For now I'm calling them "fairy boba". They are very cool.
