Anyone else use their crappy old laptops to host servers? lol
  • Yeah, that's sadly the reason why I do have a pile of old pc/laptop hardware laying around and raspberry pi's for my local server needs..

  • My melon and zucchini plant having a race this year
  • Not to be a downer here, but last year I had plenty of super large tomatoes plants - super healthy too! I got I think 2-3 flowers and 0 fruits. But the odds are in your favor when your plants are that healthy :)

  • Does anyone else watch Gardener’s World on BBC? Amazon Prime has two seasons included.
  • No I actually haven't, but I watch various creators on YouTube. Maybe I should give it a try :)

  • Lemmy docker-compose for ARM64/v8
  • Wouldn't that simply be the question of: is docker running on ARM64 cpu's?

    As far as I know lemmy and postgres both use alpine base images. Which should be compatible with whatever underlying host system you have, as long as docker is running.

  • My friend’s front porch
  • Looks so cozy, love it!

  • What’s some gardening wisdom that you wish you knew sooner?
  • Don't try to fight the weat, try to make peace with it. Otherwise you're fighting a loosing war.

  • [Resource] Plant species toolkit
  • Thought you guys might enjoy that resource as well. Make sure to also check out the original post.

  • What are your favorite herbs/spices that you grow yourself?
  • Haha I wish I'd be Uncle Iroh!

    I found it by browsing the stock of a very good German herbal/medical plant merchant. I got very intrigued by the description and just bought one plant and got to get a second plant from it by propagating via cuttings :D

    It adds a light citruy fresh taste to the tea. I personally always mix it with some other tea, because by itself is very mild. I most often drink it with a basic green tea, some ginger and honey.

    Welcome Welcome to this plant species information tool compiled by Lally Luck Farm.

    > Hey there everybody > > This is a spreadsheet we made to help folks pick out plants for their gardens by sorting and filtering for all sorts of growth habits, uses, and site conditions. Please feel free to make a copy and use it in your software of choice and share it with gardening friends if you like; all we ask is proper attribution. For full disclosure, this is adapted from the Plant Species Matrix found in Edible Forest Gardens vol. 2 by Dave Jacke and Eric Toensmeier. We lovingly (painstakingly) went line by line to make it again and update a few data points to reflect new information like hardiness zones or pH as well as add the utility of being able to whittle down such a huge list to only what niche you're looking for.

    What are your favorite herbs/spices that you grow yourself?
  • 8 dollars? That's crazy. Especially because the plant itself isn't that hard to keep and produces an amount of leafs you will never be able to use all.

  • What are your favorite herbs/spices that you grow yourself?
  • Agastache foeniculum seems nice, also seems to attract butterflies, which I was looking for anyways.

  • What are your favorite herbs/spices that you grow yourself?
  • Oh yes love myself a good mint tea! Though I still have to find my favorite mint variety to make tea.

  • What are your favorite herbs/spices that you grow yourself?
  • Yellow lavender? Huh, never heard of it, gonna look it up, thanks!

    How does the hotness level depend on the watering? The less water the hotter the pepper?

  • What are your favorite herbs/spices that you grow yourself?
  • To also contribute a plant myself: My current favorite is Jiaogulan. Even though it isn't really a spice, it is used to make tea (very mild) and they say it has the power to keep you young (not sure how much and if there is anything really to it).

  • What are your favorite herbs/spices that you grow yourself?
  • Ah yes, basil got me into the whole plants rabbit hole. Love how easy it is to just get started by buying one pot from the super market and then just living off of it without ever needing to buy a new one.

    I always let mine flower at the end of the year, and plant the next generation from seed, so I still have the 'same' basil plant from a couple of years ago when I started.

    Edit: My current basil plants still are pretty small, but are looking good and healthy so far:

  • My first zucchini!
  • Ah there we go! Looks very good!

    My first zucchini!
  • I don't see a picture. :( Maybe it got lost in the fediverse?

  • Look at those peas!
  • Yes, pressure cooker and pressure canner work the same. They use high pressure to reach higher temperatures - that higher temperature kills more bacteria.

    A pressure canner still might be useful, because most pressure cookers aren't as big as the canners. I only use the cooker because I already had one way before I thought about canning stuff and because here in germany most canning still is done with hot water rather than in steam and therefore pressure canners are harder/more expensive to come by.

  • Y’all come back in 90-100 days to see my first birdhouse gourd.
  • Yes there is a zone system also for Germany (and yes you guessed right) - I am sadly in zone 6, so it probably will be pretty hard for me to grow these..

    I hope yours grows well!

  • Look at those peas!

    Feed of other Instances not showing up

    Hey,

    because lemmy is federated I thought I'd create my own instance, basically just for myself. Because I had no idea what I was doing, I tried to find post from other instances. First instance I tried was Beehaw. But it somehow did not work.

    I was confused. Because after a few minutes I tried to get posts from other Instances and that worked pretty well.. Any idea why I can't access posts from beehaw on my own instance? Does it maybe have to do with them defederating lemmy.ml and sh.itjust.works?

    Thank for your help!
