@Surasanji higher temperature, protection from wind which may dry out the soil and the leaves, from strong rain and hail, keeps more moist. It's a greenhouse basically.

On the down side, since there is a little airflow, fungal diseases can spread more easily, so can damaging insects... I keep the ends open unless there is a major bad weather in sight.

Here in the winter is not usually that rough, but you know, #climatechange . I lost quite some harvest in a storm a month ago.

@Surasanji Oh, and some delicious arugula, the closest-up, one of the most bitter I've tried!

@Surasanji Brassicas, mostly (kale, broccoli, cauliflower), endive (2 varieties) and 3 rows of onions between each square. It's winter here, so you don't have the diversity you can afford in the summertime.

I am happy to see how many veggies can grow underneath a small 6 sqm polytunnel.
Right now plants are not doing better than the outside ones, but it's a good insurance in case of bad weather.

Since I do not mulch anymore here (plants are very close), irrigation is automated and I don't have to worry about bad weather... is basically a 1 day job and don't think about it again until food is ready!

@imvectech@libranet.de what's the purpose of the experiment?

@kensanata
I use IWS (an #android app, is on #fdroid) to open a simple httpserver on my mobile and then I use the pc browser to get whatever I want.

If I want to make the same on my pc, I just use a python -m SimpleHTTPServer

@zillion That in first grade? Kudos to you as a parent!

@mkwadee I'll answer to that myself.

So, to turn all #android black and white (I think it needs root):

Turn on developer's options > hardware accelerated rendering > simulate color space > monochromacy.

To turn on developers option tap many times on settings > about phone > build number.

Let's see how it effects my behaviour!

(redrafted to add the android hashtag)

@mkwadee that's actually a pretty good idea! I'd like to try that... wonder if there is some setting for it

@naypalm
Hi, have you tried #mastalab ? It's a great app, imo.

Welcome here again :)

@kamil
Welcome!

@xanbaldaio

Are you going?

@komun @faircoopes

@indiauplko I think that's one of the few cases I could think of when someone has either the choice of going to the tattoo artist or stop shaving his head.

@freemo
This is some interesting news. Could you point to the source please?

@UnifiedTheory
I think a custom favicon is a great idea, and I like the proposal.
Any other opinion? Maybe we can use a 'Q' instead of the 'm' in the mastodon logo, just to make spotting it easier
@freemo @absolutus @Surasanji @hashtaggrammar

@Algot
That's a useful word indeed

@kensanata
Didn't know about this, thanks for pointing it out

Reusable coffee cups are just a drop in the ocean for efforts to save our seas

They are easily marketable strategies to attract 'environmentally-minded' customers though
