forests in are being devastated by global heating which enables spruce bark to thrive. More than half the spruce forest at La Vigne is dead with over 30 trees looking like this. A Belgian artist has even formed a font made of spruce bark beetle tunnels to memorialise the trees . There is no prevention or cure.

@harphat There are prevention methods. Norway used pheromone traps to battle the attacks. It attracted the beetles into plastic tubes, but it took years to have real effect.

Basically, a Google for ”spruce beetle pheromone trap" brings up lots of content.

@harphat Here is an article, unfortunately in Norwegian, google translate may help.

@harphat Another one in Norwegian. https://www.landbruksdirektoratet.no/nb/skogbruk/barkbilleberedskap

Keywords appear to be right place, right time and monitoring.

@harphat Yet one more. https://www.nibio.no/nyheter/klimaendringer-baner-vei-for-barkbillene-i-europa which refer to a -EU- correction EFI report.
Prevention easier than combating.

Anyone know what connector Tandberg used in the late 50s early 60s?

LarsFosdal,
@LarsFosdal@mastodon.social avatar

@nothing1 It may have been a custom port, as standards probably were very much "work in progress"?

LarsFosdal,
@LarsFosdal@mastodon.social avatar

@nothing1 I have an ancient tape recorder somewhere which look similar to the illustration. I can have a look tomorrow and see if it has a cable that matches.

I woke up crying this morning due to the loss of my pooch over a month ago. Waking up crying is a unique kind of experience. We were very close. These things just don't go away over night. I hesitated to post this because it's not flowery; but these are tears born from the joy of our time together - which I will always be thankful for. I'm thankful for these tears, because without them my life would not have been as beautiful.

@Gleng2 They are family! Unconditional love on four legs!
I am grateful for the time we had with our Lucky. He is chasing rabbits in the the forever forest now.

I’ve known this for awhile: the reason Twitter funded Bluesky is because they were sick and tired of being held liable for all the kinds of crap that gets posted to their platform.

Twitter no longer wanted to be in the publishing business. They wanted to be in the algorithm business.

How to do this? Force people to host their own content.

LarsFosdal,
@LarsFosdal@mastodon.social avatar

@atomicpoet Well, they killed G+, which IMO, was the best platform I ever used. Looking forward to groups on Mastodon!

LarsFosdal,
@LarsFosdal@mastodon.social avatar

@rm4 I agree. Collections were great!

LarsFosdal,
@LarsFosdal@mastodon.social avatar

@rm4 I've had the same thoughts. I've decided to stay with one account until I see how groups turn out.

Well, this is an unexpected curveball.

Jack Dorsey hopes that Bluesky will be “temporary”.

How likely is Bluesky to actually be “temporary”?

@fediversenews

@atomicpoet What if it is a PoC that actually is a multitude of instances behind the facade? A protocol test platform.

Whoa! Vice is heading for bankruptcy!

That magazine was a big chunk of my teens and 20s—for which I had a love/hate relationship.

@atomicpoet In a way, it will be a relief, because their site has been ad hell for years now.
