Cover crops on swales makes sense to me...

Annual cover crops to add nitrogen and mulch;

• vetch
• cow pea Then seed in perennials.

The one thing that i did not connect with before is that swales on the landscape is designed to be a tree growing system, eventually a food forrest.

@yayaver I believe this work time is eating into my hobby time.

Today I discovered the notion of #CosyCore

In unrelated news, it is now the time of year where I turn the electric blanket on as the first thing when getting home after work in the evening.

TIL, https://www.tribblix.org/about.html

Tribblix is an operating system distribution derived from OpenSolaris, OpenIndiana, and illumos, with a retro style and modern components. The base kernel and commands come from illumos, with everything else rebuilt from scratch.

Tribblix isn't just a spin or repackaging of another illumos distribution. It's a completely independent distribution that, ...

It is fascinting looking at the logs for the mastodon server.

Looking at the endless stream of requests for known vulnerabilities in php apps.

Today I added 4.208.0.0/12 to the block list. Yet another Microsoft IP range...

Sorry if this you hosting your fediverse instance on azure.

It is time to move off the cloud if you want to maintain independance with your apps.

In between everything else today, been working on a pair of laptops, getting them to, A) boot, B) boot from floppy, C) find a working floppy, D) writing a bootable operating system to that floppy.

somehow I prefer this mess to UEFI and booting from USB storage.

the oldest laptop has no USB ports. the next oldest has one USB port. one.

and HDDs that range from 4-8GB.

for the love of DOS software that has to have an actual hard ware serial port.

why?

to program radios, of course.

@niko power of two? 32k is half of 64k. Are they using a 16 bit counter?

@ana@tacobelllabs.net apple stuff has been in decline for a while. andriod stuff is infinitely worse. any suggestsions of what other options should we be looking into?

@mattblaze@federate.social How much of the American economy does tourism count for? Does this apply to disneyland? The only things on my bucket list in the US was places in national parts, so I suppose we put this on the pile reasons to not visit.

@lenarena@tech.lgbt this is a thing of beauty!

@jef@mastodon.social Perhaps it is time to rename it to what it really is? That "imperial" means "fascist".

@tante@tldr.nettime.org the have had a long history of building dependance on their products by making the first hit free. In the early 1990's it was DOS and Windows free licenses for uni students, and so on... Reducing their users own problem solving ability means increased dependance on their own products, which can only be good for business. Certainly a poor outcome for any business that those people go on to work for though.

@mwk was there a trigger in or before 1983? That would be post IBM PC launch, does the "open design" PC have anything to do with that?
