@wimpy I want to boost this…

My new life goal is to have a 20+ acre homestead by the time I'm 50. A forever home. Somewhere semi-remote and surrounded by forest. Less people and more animals. Less technology. Less preservatives and toxins. Less noise. Less light pollution. Less reliance on anyone but myself and the land.

@necrophcodr Well, I’m 48 now… and I don’t plan on being dead by 60!

@albonycal Do you find 3 acres enough for your personal needs/sustainability?

@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@albonycal Ah, so you don’t live there as your main residence? I understand.

Yesterday, I published a list of things that I’m excited for in the world of technology. Including a bit about the modded iPod I’m using now.

Tech Is Still Cool.

@mike Such an excellent post, and it may have rekindled my hardware lust just a little bit. I used to have a real passion for building PCs that were as affordable as consoles and just as powerful. (Even a short side gig selling them to friends and followers). But now I’ll live vicariously through your adventures. Thanks for sharing this, was a joy to read.

And you’ve made it to my Thunderbird RSS section <3

Pretty wild that Bethesda was like "NAH, you don't need to adjust any graphical settings for #Fallout4 on Steam Deck."

(Tip: you can add "SteamDeck=0 %command%" to the launch settings to reinstate the launcher that has said graphics settings, but still. HUGE foul on the play.)

I didn't expect to fanboy out over a Cards View update that just landed in Beta 126.0b1, but here we are. I LOVE IT! It’s a MAJOR visual improvement, and I’m ridiculously proud of our UX team for landing it.

This also needs to be repeated over and over: our team growth and user growth, all the visual and technical improvements, our increasing sustainability, NONE of it would be possible without the generosity of our donors.

Serious Monday energy today: flat tire on the bike, 8-hour power outage, and starting the day without coffee. BUT, there’s a bright side! The guaranteed solution to Monday is on the way. It’s called Tuesday 😂

This is a special one: First blossom of my first garden!

But can also feel heartbreaking. I’m at war with the squirrels and slugs now.

@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@crcollins My condolences about that. My garden isn’t even mature enough to have aphids, but I’m afraid of what happens once the 10 or so tomato plants start filling out. It’s nerve-wracking!

@anomalon I tried this and it does seem to work. Just didn’t have enough grounds to protect everything.

Must drink more coffee :blobupsidedown:

@killyourfm@layer8.space avatar

@anomalon Ohhhh interesting idea! I was under the impression it needed to be used grounds. Not the case?

GARDEN UPDATE: Less than two weeks ago I potted up the little tomato seedlings. 12 days later, they are THRIVING!

... gonna have to learn how to preserve tomatoes, make tomato sauce, make salsa...

Six potted tomato plants with young green seedlings on a cloth-covered surface near a window.

@thepoliticalcat Is Sluggo organic, though?
GREAT tip for the tomatoes, thank you!

@thepoliticalcat That’s reassuring. Thanks for the knowledge.
