It has to be sarcasm, it’s way too funny.

It’s clearly because of women who dress immodestly. The boobquake has finally arrived.

I wish there were fewer hurdles to that as well. Where I live, we only recently lifted a ban on collecting rainwater, though we’re still severely limited. That the water is “spoken for” by downstream desert alfalfa farms makes it even harder to swallow.

Decentralizing agriculture to local gardens is part of how we solve this mess. Actively promoting replacement of ornamental monoculture lawns with native, low-water, pollinator-friendly plants would also be a positive step. Golf courses, big ag, corporate and individual property owners… there’s a long list of entities that need to reevaluate their relationship with and responsibility to the land they ostensibly maintain.

Gooseberries grow like crazy in Colorado, every other garden around here has at least one bush. Never seen them at a grocer though.

Food security isn’t an issue of production but rather distribution

Having done work on the distributor side of food security, this is absolutely correct. I wish this was common knowledge.

Did you read the article?

I’m left wondering if you read it. It doesn’t make the assertion you do:

no physical means of trapping insects is going to only target the problem insects

This seems self-evident, but I have to ask why you didn’t cite a source that backs that up before slapping me with an “Um.No kidding.”

Maybe your communication skills are less developed than you realize?

Thrips aren’t beneficial.

“Littoral” is effectively equivalent to “nearshore”. Makes sense as written.

Sigh… unzips

I’ve just finally and fully spun down a proxmox server I’ve been running and updating as my home lab for six years.

Every major update seemed to break something. Upgrades were always a roll of the dice as to whether it would even boot. It’s probably at least partially my fault for using an old R710 and running docker directly on the OS instead of within a container, but it was still by far my least reliable piece of kit.

The last apt update removed sudo, and I can’t be arsed to rebuild, so I’ve moved the critical bits to a fleet of SBCs. Powering that fucker down was a huge relief.

I just switched from Jerboa to Connect and have no few regrets so far. Still feels like the wild west out here.

Can’t wait for Sync though!

EDIT: I do have at least one regret, no easy way to report comments on Connect, AFAICT. Guess I need to keep exploring my options.

Can’t wait for this!
