The nightly storm is on the way.

@dwarf ugh, I just ran into that with an external DAC with a less common sized barrel plug, but luckily we found something that matched (and still seems to be working, fingers crossed). I hope you find it in stock soon (or a replacement)

@dwarf correct- you want to match both the power specifications and the barrel plug size (if it's that type). The original brick should have a manufacturer and model number on it, you can search on that for replacements of the same brand or equivalent replacements.

@evan I've thought about this for a few hours, and this is exactly the kind of question that has me evaluating larger life choices and day-to-day routine.

For example, consuming an avocado is very different from where I came from (California) and where I am now (Germany).

Also, is it helpful to provide a non-native habitats to endangered plants, or will the energy it takes to maintain various microclimates cause more harm down the road?

Things like that. In short, I still don't know.

@evan another example is this (the Darlingtonia Californica): https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/darlingtonia-californica/

which honestly- is beautiful, interesting and not at all suited to be a houseplant. The natural habitat range is small and getting smaller over time from climate change, land development and poaching.

However, they are greenhouse grown here in Germany and ethically-sourced. But to keep them alive when you get them home takes extra effort and energy (including 0/low TDS water) so they do not die right away.

@mattl can you deliver to Germany? I still haven't figured out what I'm making yet for dinner

@evan (haven't voted yet)

I think my answer depends on whether the question of taking care to recognize is internal

e.g. "I'm using Mastodon, a popular interface using the ActivityPub protocol to connect with the social web area of the Fediverse, and Mastodon is not an endpoint/destination in itself."

which recognizes that other software and protocols exist without (explicitly) naming them

or

talking with different people, and for brevity doing a summary/tl;dr which will exclude things

@evan

gotcha (bowing out)

@jmangt

@evan

Okay (nodding). Yes, agreed on that, but we are looking at more than only the system(s) end of information travel, we also have to recognize many people can and will drop off after something like... 2 to 3 points of friction (my best guess) and then giving up.

Which is probably fixable but yes, hard af

@jmangt

@evan

I think there is something to the premise with things at this current state, but wondering where/what the disagreement point is
