I don't understand the issues surrounding bottom watering pots with a wick.

I have a number of succulents in them, and of course the usual unkillable Pothos. I partially/fully fill the bottom part (Depending on it's carrying capacity) once every 2+ weeks and for the succulents they're good to go. Saves me A LOT of effort doing the usual bottom watering process of putting the pots in a large container of water until the water saturates the soil.

Can someone go into detail on the downsides of such pots?

Garmin GPS appliance. I refuse to use Google anything, and the other options do not work on GrapheneOS when interfacing with my car. So I bit the bullet and got a Garmin

Always remember that biometrics can be compelled by the court in the US, but a password cannot.

I've been using socks from here: https://procompression.com/

However I don't think this type of socks is really BiFL. The elastic in them will get tired, and I have had several doctors recommend replacing them after 6 months because of it. I tend to agree with those docs as I have found that the elastic does stretch over time and they do not have nearly the compression after 6-12 months than when new.

Only two kinds of people believe in infinite growth; economists and psychopaths.

But you repeat yourself :)

Thanks!

Looks like propagation is through root cuttings or seeds. Which these pieces are neither.

At least I still have a chunk of the plant with roots. Just not enough to propagate.

 

I bought this plant from Home Depot about two years. While repotting it these "fingers" fell off.

Unfortunately I cannot find a picture to identify the plan so I'm hoping someone here can. And can I use them to propagate the plant, or do they go into compost?

Oh yeah crows are social animals. The "Shit and Shriek Circus" still goes on in Auburn, NY every year

Some of that stuff just doesn’t exist now without Google.

I disagree. EVERYTHING Google offers has some sort of alternative. Will it take more effort? Sure. But I have been Google free for over 2 years now and I have not once been unable to do anything because Google has some imagined exclusivity.

Start here for apps
CalyxOS
GrapheneOS

And for the diehard there's the Fairphone

What's the difference between a docker and just installing an app on rented server space?

Functionally? Not much. But people who selfhost typically want everything on computers they own. Whether it's for learning purposes, or to not have their stuff on "someone else's computer" selfhosting usually means you're running software on computers you own, almost always within your own house.

Does each dock (?) have its own server? (Apache or nginx or whatever?)

Each docker image usually has a web server built in. The philosophy of docker is that it contains everything needed to run the app. Even a small linux OS (LibELEC or Alpine are favorites for docker images). So while you're not managing the web server in a docker image each docker image will have its own web server if web access is needed

Does each dock host a whole site, or do you have a dock for your database and a dock for your web app?

Docker the program is what runs all the docker images on a computer. Each docker image is built as per the software's developer. Some docker images will have a web app and a database combined into a single image, while others will expect a separate database server running independent of the image (It won't care if the database server is a docker image or not; just that it has access)
