Vain pieni jääkauden kivi puiden keskellä. "Ei oli tällä kun aloitimme!"
https://yle.fi/a/74-20230378Open linkView original on sopuli.xyzProgress on a tree I transplanted one year ago in the middle of summer. It seems it overwintered quite well, even though first half of winter was cold and snowless and the second one was extremely cold and so snowy that many trees got bent permanently.
So today I transplanted the whole bunch of it's same-age saplings in a similar way. This looks quite unconventional, but there is sure higher survival rate for spruces when they are transplanted this way in my region.

Guess who crawled out! (it's not the tree with the box, but I don't think it was proper flight yet either). This somewhat looks like there are 4 of them, like this
however, later in the evening I was walking around them; there are clearly just 2 on this branch
but someone chirps with these two from deeper forest just some meters behind. I can see them move their beaks when they chirp, and there is clearly someone else.
Either way, at least two fat chickens are staring at me now. It's fascinating and I so much want to pet them.

Finally got to see the little dudes from this not so little dudess https://sopuli.xyz/post/42978502
after hearing them for quite some time. Curious how many are there, but not so curious to get injured!

Ok, I'll share the ultimate guerilla-selfhosting challenge I can't figure out yet: what if my internet connection is G5 prepaid sim card in the middle of the woods (it actually is)? Apparently, I do have IPv6 more or less stable (undocumented), but that's kind of limiting at times. Seems barely possible, but!
The https://homebrewserver.club/low-tech-website-howto.html#network states:
The fiber connection itself is not necessary, especially if you keep your data footprint small, but a fixed IP adress is very handy.
which kind of implies someone figured out a way to get around it. Would someone share the trick?

Here it is, 100% in-house capsicumel with almost 2 year old dandelion honey and rocoto pepper in front and citron peppers in back.
This is the first mead we made from our own honey farm, and it is just so much better than anything peer beekeepers provided before. Want to do something right - DIY (short of manually pollinating the flowers, sure)
EDIT: recipe
1120 OG (just dissolve honey in cold tap water - with vigorous homegrown yeast and Finnish water supply this is safe enough - until gravity is reached); yeast strain MEA101 (ask me if you want some); this particular batch was fermenting for 20 months, but 4 is really enough to start adding peppers. Amount of peppers depends on their firepower and personal preferences, I recommend being brave.
Older batches had, for example, jalapeno loaded at 250 g of pepper in 20 L of mead. Or habanero 25 g in 5 L.

All you got to do is put a box on a tree at the right time and you'll catch one!
Now this owl nestbox is special, I can actually watch it from my window without disterbing the tenant. I'd post quality pictures but my dog dropped my birding canon sx60 into a lake last summer, instant 2m+ just near shore pushed the water in between the sealed lenses somehow, so all I have are these crude smartphone pictures.
Strix uralensis, she nested in another one of my boxes 2 years ago, quite successfully it seems. Savo, Finland.

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
I've tried to scale down a single fruiting medium to 100-200g, and it keeps failing time after time: at best, I get small needle-sized fruiting bodies (hypsizygus tessulatus, post picture) or primordia and then small malformed underdeveloped fruiting bodies (pleurotus eryngii, inline picture). Then development just stops. Medium is enriched (sugar) alder chips, contamination starts developing long after growth is stalled. Is it really scale problem? What's the reasonably smallest batch size?

Testing how a trade offer could look on Lemmy
Had no bad batches at home scale, but quite often get these events, when even replacing the lock with an open fermenter does not help. Only regular cleanups work.
This is extra notorious escapee, witbier (OG 1065) made to dump frozen berries that remain in my freezer. And my very vigorous yeast.

So far, every country in the world has had one of two responses to the Trump tariffs. The first one is: "Give Trump everything he asks for (except Greenland) and hope he stops being mad at you." This has been an absolute failure. Give Trump an inch, he'll take a mile. He'll take fucking Greenland. Capitulation is a failure.
But so is the other tactic: retaliatory tariffs. That's what we've done in Canada (like all the best Americans, I'm Canadian). Our top move has been to levy tariffs on the stuff we import from America, making the things we buy more expensive. That's a weird way to punish America! It's like punching yourself in the face as hard as you can, and hoping the downstairs neighbor says "Ouch!"
And it's indiscriminate. Why whack some poor farmer from a state that begins and ends with a vowel with tariffs on his soybeans. That guy never did anything bad to Canada.
But there's a third possible response to tariffs, one that's just sitting there, begging to be tried: what about repealing anticircumvention law?
If you're a technologist or an investor based in a country that's repealed its anticircumvention law, you can go into business making disenshittificatory products that plug into America's defective tech exports, allowing the people who own and use those products to use them in ways that are good for them, even if those uses make the company's shareholders mad.
