I have only been use public (for about 20 years), but I have been curious about private trackers for a while. I have a good grasp of the concept, seeding requirements, etc. What would be one or two recommended private trackers to start with? (for TV, movie, music)

After trying out a few distros over the last 20 years or so (openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora and Silverblue were the ones I actively used for a stretch of time on desktop, Debian and CentOS on server), I also landed on NixOS.

Who knows what the future brings, but things feel more settled to me than they ever have. Maybe that's because there's a (declarative) solution for every custom setup, it's just a function of time and profiency in Nix. Or maybe it's because I invested quite a bit of work into a trivially reproducible setup for most of my machines and workflows (all in one glorious version-controlled flake), that the sunk costs are too high to switch elsewhere.

I'm still willing to experiment with DEs/WMs, currently running Gnome on my main and Sway on weaker machines. Hyprland is a bit out there for my taste, but I'm really looking forward to giving Cosmic DE a try once it's ready.

Looks a lot like Paxillus involutus. Cute dog.

There are nicer ways of saying this but I agree that this is not Leucocoprinus birnbaumii, but some sort of Conocybe.

I'm looking forward to try it myself... and also wondering if I'll ever be able to read it as b-cache-fs rather than bca-chefs.

Definitely not oysters. Possibly Tapinella atrotomentosa.

In my experience, the only way to "really know" a mushroom is to find it repeatedly, have it in your hand, smell it, and have someone next to you who really knows their stuff and talk to them about the mushroom in your hand, and learn that way what characteristics to look for. Then find it again, identify it yourself, confirm with an expert. Repeat until you don't have to ask.

Into the breach

I use btrbk (on a btrfs filesystem) and I've never been happier. It fits my workflow perfectly: Frequent automated local snapshots with the occasional incremental backup to one of several encrypted external drives. It's fast and reproducible since it's all in a single conf file.

I would generally agree, but 1) there may well be dead wood just under the grass and 2) these conditions may explain the atypical stem. Never fully trust ID by pic and opinions on the internet obviously but this looks very much like Pleurotus ostreatus to me. (Also because there aren't many alternative candidates in my opinion.)

Nein, direkt am Gleis. Hier der Doppelstreifen über "Hauptwache" https://www.fr.de/bilder/2017/11/13/11012923/1391665712-1022826-f70.jpg

Yeah, that's pretty interesting. It's one of those mushrooms that in a pinch you could probably eat and it wouldn't kill you. Supposedly tastes okay, too.

I use (neo)vim with UltiSnips for coding, text editing and writing e-mails, and it works great! It's super customizable.

You can get pretty far with copy-pasting. If you want to try it out, you should first realize that there's always 10+ different ways to do the same thing. Stick with what works and with what seems the most intuitive to you.

Personally, I suggest going straight for a flake-based setup. Flakes are somehow still labeled experimental, but they're actually mature and broadly adopted.

Possibly. Or an Amanita, or a whole range of other things... very hard to tell with just this one picture.

(My very uninformed, stab-in-the-dark guess would be Amanita vaginata actually.)

Bei allem Verständnis für die Situation finde ich es ganz schön heftig, dass hier unwidersprochen empfohlen wird, einen Unfall herbeizuführen. Auch noch so "kleine" Auffahrunfälle bergen ein hohes Verletzungsrisiko an Hals und Kopf.

This definitely looks like some sort of Bovista (puffball) and not at all like an Amanita (e.g. Destroying Angel) to me.

Nice find! Hard to tell from this picture how old it is, but I would encourage you to taste it! When I tried one it had great texture, and it's a bit sour (which personally I liked), but very strange for a mushroom.
