Yeah the whole sequence seems a little weird. That said, I couldn't find another strong option the last time I looked for an alternative.

BlissOS had a blog post ~2 months ago: https://blog.blissos.org/bliss-updates-2508/

WayDroid and BlissRoms git repos seem very active.

Hopefully BlissOS will return.

Disappointed that the article didn't touch on supply chains, raw materials, and batteries.

Nextcloud already bit off more than it can chew. Competing with YouTube seems like a bad idea.

Story feels eerily familiar to absurd cultist attacks on cultural institutions in the US. Pretty cool about the award though.

I can't speak to the book, but the article/interview/summary seem a little hollow in places. Some oddities:

  1. Manufacturing jobs declined and manufacturing contributes less as a percentage of GDP than it once did, sure, but manufacturing has grown in the US.
  2. China artificially deflates the value of its currency. That lowers the cost of goods it exports to other countries and creates a structural impediment to competing with manufacturers in China. I don't see how any discussion about globalization and manufacturing jobs is complete without a discussion about currency manipulation.
  3. Random shots fired at NY and SF.

Also, the US is never going to compete with China for engineering graduates or manufacturing. The population difference makes it an impossible comparison.

Why would an organization use OMEMO if it doesn't fit their requirements? OMEMO isn't necessary for encrypting xmpp communications. Also, I get the concern that only the original client will have a full history of the user, but most people don't need a complete chat history. Or put another way, wanting a complete, unencrypted chat history is relatively orthogonal to wanting perfect forward secrecy.

That is how perfect forward secrecy is supposed to work.

From what I've read, repeated plugging/unplugging is not the most likely failure mode. Definitely some issues with cheap sockets though that aren't realistically capable of carrying the continuous load.

On one hand, it bothers me how inaccessible clear guidance on electric work is. There are so few open resources, and online questions seem to devolve into electricians gatekeeping information to protect the trade. On the other hand, browsing ev charging forums reveals one melted socket after another (not necessarily the result of DIY). The average person can be pretty flippant about the various ways these installations can go up in flames.

 

I have t-posts and string. In the past, I've generally hung welded wire on the t-posts and supported the tomato stem and heavy branches on the fencing. But I'm out of welded wire and don't really want to drop money on a new roll. I could try something new and florida weave each row together between the t-posts.

What would you do? Any experience with the weave to support growing tomato plants?

 

It's springtime and moving beyond last frost dates in the northern parts of the U.S. Garden centers are humming, bees are buzzing. Birds are nesting in my hanging planters.

I planted out 25 tomato seedlings last weekend - what are you growing?
