@mattblaze I'm from California, living in Germany the last 10 years and yes, many people in Germany can't handle spices (though horseradish doesn't seem to have an effect). I once ordered nachos in a well regarded cafe and got a small plate of microwaved store bought salted tortilla chips with a slice of processed cheese food product and a couple of lonely overly-brined jalepeno bits for color. It was six euro. There is a place in Berlin that can do it well but I forgot the name. @skinnylatte

On the way to Ireland.

Everything looks amazing right now, some of it shows in the pic. There is a medium-strong wind, cool but not cold.

@Fragglemuppet You're welcome and no need to feel embarrassed. I don't know the commonly used literary hashtags offhand but there might be something that works well with the poll topic for the next ones. @schratze

@Fragglemuppet @schratze was it the Wandering Inn one? If so I found and boosted it.

@morph it worked perfectly for the job! :D

I divided and repotted a very crowded and rootbound Sarracenia pitcher plant today.

The roots were really compacted so I used a kabob skewer and my fingers to loosen and detangle them.

A sleepy wasp or bee came by and wanted sugar so I cut off a pitcher for it. I moved it to the greenhouse shortly after this pic so it could warm up and it later flew away at normal speed.

Many of the flying insects around here know how to navigate the pitchers, drink the nectar and not fall in. When it gets really busy later in the season I check the pitchers for any that did and use a chopstick so they can climb out. And when it warms up some more, spiders will find a nice pitcher, move in and just live there.

I also underestimated the amount of potting medium I needed so the smallest division (by roots and rhizomes) went into a small pot. I might need to slip pot it later, not sure yet. Preparation of the medium takes a couple or so days and I wrote about it here: https://layer8.space/@chillicampari/116194190908058977

@killyourfm yay!!! 🌱☀️

Is that a good start already or is there something I am missing?

I could use help composing an essential Fediverse (as a topic) book reading list. I'm planning on talking to people with a variety of technical backgrounds (range and expertise) so variety is good. I haven't read any of this yet but I would read it first and either (verbally) summarise points or point people to them for more info.

So far I have on my list:

They are pretty awesome tbh

It's about half an hour before the Attwenger show at Alte Mälzerei.

For FOSDEM first-timers, it's good to wear the shoes that work best for a lot of standing and walking and can handle rain and some puddles (depending on the weather). These might not be the best looking shoes you have (or they might be) it just needs to be something that once you put on you won't have to think about until you take them off, which will probably be hours and hours later. I am bringing two pairs with very different weights and support styles to switch between.

For later reading because when Christine points to something like this, there is usually something to it.
