The Drosera Paradoxa woke up and is out of winter dormancy.

Off of the roadside somewhere in Northern Scotland.

@hobbsc yep! Not too many mosquitoes right now but a lot of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_midge

Is there concern for snaps or flatpaks? Checking my own stuff it looks like applications using bundled liblzma are running in the 5.2.* - 5.4.* versions, but if someone has a bleeding edge application running an affected version, what would the remediation be? Would uninstalling it be sufficient?

@djsundog @Rairii @liaizon yes, this is goatse.

Open note to self: the non screw-in audio TRS locking cable jack is called "bayonet"*.

I tend to chew through these for whatever reason so have to remember the term when ordering replacements. I'd been calling them "Sennheiser locks" but that isn't exactly right.

#audio

(edit to add- like the B in BNC cable, though these are plastic)

@bobjonkman looks like it started out lower case (Wayback Machine link below), then somewhere along the way people started capitalizing it. I do that now, though that might be from living in Germany for several years and I capitalize more nouns than I used to (even with English), so if/when it's commonly lower cased again from widespread usage maybe it will be returning to its original form :D @evan

Possible origin of the term "The Fediverse" as a term

I'm going from memory, so not sure it's all correct, but usage of the word "Fediverse" early on was typically used with the "!", as a cross-instance general posting group (Fediverse being the "who", in this case "everybody") and was often combined with a subject/topic group (the "what", in the case of !tzag(*), a greeting, which optionally had tags to other subjects or groups.

@slothrop @revk to add to this part of the thread, Tchibo (German coffee shop and variety store) had this available a few months ago.

@jasonkoebler Just a quick side note that I really appreciate the higher contrast on the site which in my case helps a *lot* with readability (though I know everyone has a different use case).

Also, welcome to the Fediverse! I like the way you demonstrated that it's not generally as hard as people think it is to get a handle on it and participate. I know it can be pretty intimidating, especially at first. But I am glad you gave it the chance. There is more- but I figure you will find it. :)

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)
