@kensanata@octodon.social I really don't like how tutanota and protonmail are not compatible with standard clients. Standard is a golden rule for security and privacy.

You can also consider people like riseup.net or autistici.org, they are not for profit, privacy focused collectives getting by by donations only. Cool people, IMO

@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@octodon.social
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@octodon.social
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
