A raised garden bed won’t prevent the rhizomes from travelling, unless the bed is permanently sealed where it contacts, or near contacts, the ground. Remember that plastic can crack, split, and deform, concrete can crack also.

If you know a plant is invasive and difficult to control at the best of times (unlike an invasive that can have seeds removed or similar), then have a long think about it. It’s like playing catch with a live hand grenade; the safest way is not to play. Clumping bamboo is the only choice if your climate permits it.

For me, on choosing what to plant, I would first consider that benefits me (food, flower, aesthetic, biomass) and that can be endemic, native, or exotic. If nothing suits that has a value, I would then choose a diverse small planting in endemic species to and around your area (also consider recommendations from climate scientists if you area will get warmer/colder/wetter/drier and select some species suited to that change).

There is no reason not to use Syncthing besides KDEConnect has features other than sharing files that might come in handy.

Syncthing is a much better tool for a hands-off approach once set up so sure, why not?

The Windows version used to be shit. That’s no longer a problem. That’s about the only negative I remember. Otherwise you can have it doing a lot of work between devices or only sending when you feel like it. I force stop it on my phone and then invoke through share when needed.

I brought up Syncthing as it will function the same way, in a more hands off way (by choice if you want, automagically or forced) if you needed to share files/folders between devices. Not only for passwords.

Local file sharing:

I use KDEConnect on all my devices (Windows, Linux, GrapheneOS, Work Galaxy Tab) and it works just fine. Never needed to try anything else.

Syncthing as well for keepass files.

Pinch Mini and Punch Bug. 2 for old school, one for new.

Neighbours injected “Spotto”, a punch for a yellow car.

And that was it. No rules about arguing or how hard you hit, no holds barred in the back seat.

And then to make it even more complex, the more diverse number of soil species that dwarfs the above ground species that are more fragile to hooves, fire, and UV that have been completely lost (not even studied before they were lost).

Humans could have kept track of a percentage of above ground species for introduction but the technology was barely there to even imagine what was lost in erosion and fire. And that likely underpins everything above ground.

It sucks but we keep on soldiering on.

This is old thinking at this point. There are other things affecting insect populations that a garden will not fix.

Still plant a garden though!

I’m just trying to work out where the Sunshine Coast one is. Most of the sites are down.

It’s a guilty pleasure but @[email protected] keeps [email protected] well updated with “sovereign citizen” funnies.

Consider a summary statement though. Not a big fan of a link with no text.

There was an article a few days back with microplastics working through “untouched by humans” layers of lake silt.

Stay positive, friend.

The OSTree layering option worked for me, well… I can get it to run once I turn off the ovpn I still have sitting in Fedora’s network settings. @[email protected]’s comment I fumbled around with and I’ll wait to see if it updates.

Most of my time is spent in Linux Mint but if I ever have to reinstall, I’ll switch over to a ublue flavour.

Commenting from a laypersons’ perspective for new users, with my minor Linux experience and an inability to remember commands, don’t be frightened in giving it a go. If I can do it, anyone can. I run Fedora Kinoite on a second harddrive, use the BIOS Boot Menu to boot in, and then “rebased” to the UBlue Kinoite image using the provided commands once I read about it.

Almost everything is on Flatpak so I don’t even notice a difference with much. I had trouble layering the Mullvad VPN app (originally just using ovpn profiles) and I’m not sure I did it right in relation to updating but it seems to work.

Basically, I don’t understand much about it but it’s a completely usable operating system from my perspective.

Thanks for the write-up. It was helpful in increasing some knowledge.

It’s not in Newpipe, it’s the Android app settings for it. Long press the icon, ‘app info’, scroll down to ‘open by default’. You have to manually click each link which takes a while. Not sure if there is an easier way.

Edit: this was at the bottom (learn more about open by default):

Now you know. Becomes somewhat more versatile…

Are you sure? I count 30ish links:

Nope. But there would be a difference in components in cheap versus expensive, perhaps even how the aerial is situated inside phone?

A guy I worked with had an iphone 4 on the same provider as me and sometimes he would get reception where we were provided a satellite phone in a deep valley. That phone was an absolute beast, we still talk about it 7 years later as it got us out of trouble a few times. Our job keeps us outside of mobile reception and there is a difference between each phone on site even when they are all running Telstra or resellers. The Optus and Vodaphone people suffer more than us.

I’d probably search the Whirlpool forums for similar threads. If they have no guarantee on quality of service, then shitty service is probably enough.

I use Aldi because Telstra, thanks to their dominance is the only one that works well enough. The phone also plays a big part in it, I run Graphene on the ‘a’ models (plus other cheaper phones prior), and other people I work with can get better reception than I, using the same provider but with their flagship phones. Next time you buy a phone, see if you can review the modem in it.

And to top that off, I get no reception at all where I live. Besides the fucking annoyance of getting ‘text message’ verifications which drive me up the wall, not having the phone working gets quite relaxing after a while. I turned off wi-fi calling when my phone finally had it because the shock of it ringing was too much.
