The W5500-EVB-Pico2 features the W5500 Ethernet Controller, which supports eight independent hardware sockets. This … ⌘ Read more

Yeah I can easily write heaps when I need to, to night for example I am awake at 2:13 am tying here. I have to finish a book I am getting ready for others to read. So far the book is over 60 pages long.

Thank you for the access to Spiritual Springs and TWTXT. Now all I have to do is get Apache running again off some local drive, I doubt it will work on a Linux Ubuntu machine, as there is no local hard drive C, is this understanding correct? I could configure it to run off a local drive on a memory stick?

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah :) That’s correct!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s a god one too!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yup, definitely VR!

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Ahh so it’s your way of trying to win a small lottery 🤣

Floodgap has a list of new Gopher holes. The thing about Gopher is you explore and find things more “naturally.”

Fixed so that when you hit ‘reply’ on a post - it adds the already mentioned people in the post (excluding yourself). Makes it much easier to reply properly to a thread.

@bender@twtxt.net If anything was going to be an NFT, a domain name would probably make the most sense, but I don’t think that system would be any better than the current one and it would make domain squatting even worse.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org I do on my other feed, @mckinley@mckinley.cc, but it’s too hard to keep it under 140 characters when you’re using mentions.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hm, that has to be VR.

@prologic@twtxt.net Nothing yet, I have it set up for solo mining, so if it finds something - then I get full reward.
Someone with a bitaxe found a block last week, all though it’s very unlikely. But there is still a chance.

I suppose there’s no harm in increasing it to 2kB 🤔

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net

James your twtxt is way too short….

Seriously?! 😅 1024 bytes (1kb) isn’t enough?! 😱🤦‍♂️🤣

By the way adding cow manure to the mulch boxes in the fruit orchard is also with no many minerals. Our soil lacks Ca, Mg B, Cu and Zn to name a few. All this adds to the cost of making good fruit.

I am thinking of purchasing a different system, say wicking beds, grow the fruit trees on top in mulch boxes of soil and into the wicking bed you add hydroponic solutions of minerals, which cost the same as getting bulky useless cow manure. For example for $80 you get 30 minerals in hydroponics and enough to make 2000 litres of water into a wicking bed. You feed the trees for 3 months before draining the water and adding another brand new batch cost another 2000 litres of water and minerals for another $80. Same cost but much more valuable in terms of minerals supplied. What is in cow manure? All gathered across the poorest soils of Australia? Not much.

part 2, James your twtxt is way too short…. say 2 tonnes of wheat, costing me say 15,000 thats 7,500 for a tonne or $7.5 for a Kg of wheat. That is about 12 times for expensive than wheat is today, ans this assumes the cow manure has any minerals in it, which I know from experience doesn’t. So I would have to add NPK, Ca and Mg along with B, Mn, Co, Zn and Cu, all adding thousands to the overall cost.

The chooks would love to eat such wheat, but imagine the cost of making it?

My old friend Lyse, you are still around.

Yes the pictures are bad, shot on evening light, with shaky hand I guess, 400,000 bytes, too big a file

The carpet is our covering over the ground, can’t afford tiles. Nice place for chooks to eat off.

I reckon there would be over 40Kg wasted seed on the ground, the chooks hate eating the wheat, because it probably has 3 minerals in eat, N P K and maybe some Ca, Mg and Fe from the ground. No where good enough to build the 3D molecules chooks and humans need in their bodies. Farmers cannot afford growing wheat with 60 minerals in it. The cost for that I reckon would be $10 a kg for the wheat on it’s own. Wow wheat is around $600 per tonne, or 60cents per Kg. See my point? If I grew say a hectare of wheat, 100m by 100m soil adding 100mm of cow manure over the ground at 4m3 that is 40m2 of ground I cover costly $60 to get this, labour is free and maintenance of car free, 10,000 / 40 = 250 trailer loads of cow manure, costing me $15,000. I would get for a yield..

A picture of our lovely hens. Notice the red arrows of the feed they waste and leave alone.
Wheat. They hate wheat, lying around in huge 3m area on the carpet.

Obviously the wheat has few minerals in it and not worth eating,,,fancy that we eat wheat bread all the time. What a waste of time !!! eating nothing in it…. I might trying growing my own wheat with at least 60 minerals in it, but costly to make.

More mulch boxes with taro this time, another sub-tropical plant tuber
This one has plastic walls and sheeting, but alas the leaves still got badly burnt by frost.
These love lots of water and not too much heat…Hmm? shadecloth them soon

Mulch box showing tapioca, a subtropical hardy tuber plant, badly burnt by frost with some garden peas inthe front of the picture with tasty pods to eat already. Yeah…

Two more mulch boxes for another new potato shadehouse yet to be built come October
Red arrow shows garlic, never been successful at growing garlic…. has over watering….bother.

The potato shed is fully insect proof for a reason. You cannot grow potatoes all year round due to tiny beetles chewing the leaves to bits, so I made a shaecloth shed over the mulch boxes.

Again the mulch boxes are 10 inches of pure cow manure and the spuds placed into this. I do not use the natural ground, too hard, too poor and too much hard work digging it up. It would be nice to add another mulch box frame on top of the lower frame and add another 200 mm of cow manure into that, getting more root feeding soil along the stems, hence more tubers. Might try this idea? The dead leaves is from a black frost we got, even instead the shadehouse the potato tops died off. Sad.

This is this year’s oranges, huge and tasty thanks to annual dolomite added into the mulch boxes.
We add cow manure every year into the mulch boxes, about 1 inch every time and water the mulch boxes, not the entire ground in the wire netting yard. Cheaper on water resources, which we do not have.

Welcome me back folks, thanks to my Son James, off_grid_living is back !!!

Now lets look at what I have been doing lately.

This is the corn patch, around 300 seeds planted 2 days ago, hopefully the frost is over. And the rat baits are out, see the round plastic tubes, and so the seeds can grow without being eaten, as in previous years.

SO far this adventure has cost me $100, for 2 loads of 4m3 cow manure. I dump it onto the soil without digging, really hard sandy texture on top of ground, 2 inches thick and plant the corn seeds from last year into the soil. Lazy and efficient method. No weeding, no digging. The metal boxes define the area, it is around 25m long and 4 m wide with four brown pipes for 1 hr watering twice every day. Though the holes in the pipes are blocked by the sweeter bore water, so I have to hand water every day as well. The brown pipes are only 1 year of use, so its costly to upgrade them every year.

@bender@twtxt.net LOL! 🤣

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no How much is this baby earning you? 🤔

Anyone recommend a domain registrar, that’s only a domain registrar and nothing else? I’m not interesting in Email Hosting, Web Hosting, Parking, or whatever other silly nonsense. Just domain registration, delegation and renewal.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org by the way, on the last Saturday of every month, we generally hold a online video call/social meet up, where we just get together and talk about stuff if, you’re interested in joining us this month.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org That was the original idea and motivation! 😅 Still is 👌

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org That’s awesome! And nice Avatar! 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net Fair enough! I just added some metadata.

Thanks @prologic@twtxt.net! I like the way Yarn.social is making all of twtxt stronger, not just Yarn.social pods.

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Ahh cool! 😎

At this point I’m thinking of migrating away from OnlyDomains and choosing a different registrar. If OnlyDomains can’t even do something as simple as maintain their own fucking domain name, how am I supposed to trust them as a service/registrar of my domains?! 🤔 – Not only that, but recently they’ve put all their domain prices up too on a bunch of TLD(s).

@bender@twtxt.net That ain’t the half of it. The worst part is, they (support) don’t give a crap, seem to be poorly trained in “incident management” and you can’t even tell anyone at the company about this (that cares) 🤦‍♂️

Not only that, but how embarrassing is it for a domain registrar to not be able to get domain management right? Support tell me things like:

We only have onlydomains.com we don’t use onlydomains.com.au

To which I reply:

No, you are wrong. I’ve been a very long-term customer and your portal has always been available on both domains. You don’t know your own company’s history.

Holy moly! 😱 It’s still down and has been over night. This has probably been down for longer hmmm 🧐

@prologic@twtxt.net I use this: https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_secure_storage

@stigatle@yarn.stigatle.no Is saving the password a good idea security-wise? Or do you save/load it from the user’s password manager using an API to do so? 🤔

Fixed a thing in the flutter client tonight, it now stores the username \ password and server url.. Which is a nice feature, no need to copy\paste anymore to log in.

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net Well no shit! But not only “agile” but this stupid over-uses thing called “micro services” 🤦‍♂️

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org You need an Avatar 😅

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Nope we don’t! yarnd only has a limit (configurable) to prevent abuse really.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Welcome to Yarn.social 🥳

Does anyone care about the 140-char limit recommended by the #twtxt spec? I have been trying to respect it but wonder if it’s wasted effort.

That’s scrutiny is definitely something I wanna look at running. 👌

@mckinley@twtxt.net oh I see! Yeah, health checks looks like something I wouldn’t have any need to run myself or use because most of my background jobs or tasks run in my swarm cluster anyway and I don’t really have that many background or cron type jobs in the first place.

@prologic@twtxt.net No cloud at all. Healthchecks, which does have a hosted offering, is definitely designed for more serious organizations than “McKinley Labs”. It has separate users, permissions, all kinds of crazy features I don’t need at all. I definitely wouldn’t be using it if there wasn’t a linuxserver.io image and I’d like to use something simpler but I don’t know of anything else that’s completely self hosted.

Hmmm looks like I started the repo and previously found it “interesting” 🤔

@mckinley@twtxt.net Is this open source and someyhing you run locally on the machine? 🤔 No Cloud?
