But “as it gets warmer earlier, we see a larger amount of mosquitoes earlier,” said Max Vigilant, director of mosquito and vector control in Harris County, where Houston is located. “We are getting hotter temperatures earlier.”

“This is the impact that climate change has had on Harris Country,” Vigilant added.

So I used to grow fresh-cut herbs commercially for restaurants & chefs and, this year, I decided I'm taking a pause on that. But what to do with a boat-load of perennial herb plants I've got growing?

Well, I reached out to the crew at the Ellis Park Community Garden (disclosure: links to FB) to see if I could set up a plot of herbs long-term for people to use as needed, thus freeing up space in their community garden plots to grow other things.

But I also want to make this educational, too - so if someone saw a herb they weren't familiar with, they could easily look up what it is, how to harvest it, how to use it, and perhaps even a recipe or two with it. So that's where this page comes in.

General thoughts...

I'm hoping the herb plot will run on a "take what you need, leave what you don't" principle.

Also trying to figure out how to make (good) signage (cheaply) with appropriate links (QR codes, maybe?) to each herb, which will be featured in its own post in this forum (called a "community" in this platform.


More to follow soon!

Trail of Voyager UI on SLRPNK (voyager.slrpnk.net)
submitted 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) by poVoq to c/meta

We are testing the Voyager alternative Lemmy UI on https://voyager.slrpnk.net/

There is not a huge difference compared to using the official .apk but some users on alternative platforms like Ubuntu Touch might appreciate having this option directly in the browser. It should be also possible to install it as a PWA this way.

Of course it also works in a desktop browser, but Voyager is really more optimized for mobile touch screens.

Please let us know if there are any issues with it.

Dino and GNOME 44 EOL (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

I have Dino 0.4 on Ubuntu. Whenever I upgrade anything in flatpak, it tells me that Dino is using a GNOME 44 runtime and that it’s out of support.

Is Dino under active development, and I should just hold tight? Or should I be looking for a different XMPP client?

A realistic understanding of their costs and risks is critical.

What are SMRs?

  1. SMRs are not more economical than large reactors.

  2. SMRs are not generally safer or more secure than large light-water reactors.

  3. SMRs will not reduce the problem of what to do with radioactive waste.

  4. SMRs cannot be counted on to provide reliable and resilient off-the-grid power for facilities, such as data centers, bitcoin mining, hydrogen or petrochemical production.

  5. SMRs do not use fuel more efficiently than large reactors.

[Edit: If people have links that contradict any the above, could you please share in the comment section?]

Hi !

As I have account on lemmy.ml, I look into the lemmy community created on slrpnk.net through the federated lemmy community, but its contents don't match the ones on the original slrpnk community. There are some messages missing.

Not sure if this is something someone would care, but I was planning to look at the contents through the lemmy instance, where I do have my account...

Greetings !

Don't let people sell you flashlights unless they're super cheap and super reliable. :) Especially avoid buying rescue or air defense searchlights - if a product contains the word "rescue" or "defense", its price will cause a jumpscare. Optics isn't a secret art, Wikipedia has all the relevant information - and if you happen to have a solar concentrator with a reasonable focal length, you have a searchlight waiting to happen. :)

P.S. Just remember: LEDs need to be current-limited and cooled. :)

To be clear: we're going to use renewable hydrogen for some things, such as fertilizer manufacturing — there isn't any other way to do them sustainably. There are applications for which it's one of the most expensive choices, such as home heating, and a whole host of industrial processes and aviation sitting in between.

Skunk #1 clone, week 9 or 10.

Needs a little more time, but they are not gaining the weight I was hoping for...

A collision of climate change, urban sprawl and poor infrastructure has pushed Mexico City to the brink of a profound water crisis.
