@StravaSupport Hi, Zendesk is down for me, so I'm reporting an issue here:

My account (https://t.co/5x04eS4CCd) has a bug that prevents loading the global heatmap while logged in.

Detailed report: https://t.co/T0AeWHVqeS

@capnleela not ideal, but I've planted things to maximize the sun we get - blackberry, scarlet runners, hops twined up to our 2nd floor balcony; going vertical with raspberries, peas, later corn - & lots of stuff in pots on our stairway like squash, tomatoes.

[Eric Drechsel @edrex]

@capnleela I'm putting a lot of transplant raspberry bushes in from @lehudgins

[Eric Drechsel @edrex]

@capnleela Hi Melissa! I worked in the garden today too, terracing a neglected hillside below our 2nd floor apt. First time having my own garden in ages!

[Eric Drechsel @edrex]

I so resonate with this.

Lately, I've been finding a sense of support and alignment of these two needs in communities of others with a similar long-view mindset, making plans and pulling together. Nix has definitely been giving… https://t.co/fbLQGXaabS

I need to figure out how to get the crossposter to link back to Mastodon somehow. I am @[email protected]

[Eric Drechsel @edrex]

Ok, I'm joining mastodon again, since so many of the communities I'm interested in are here. For the past few years I've been pretty much Matrix/Signal only, and I need to practice living publicly, without being a corporate serf.

@christi3k not an imaging issue? ddrescue can help read dying drives https://t.co/uEFM1Xbeev

@demew She was pretty interested in Lauren's AC too 😆

[Eric Drechsel @edrex]

Their cloud platform for pushing delta updates and monitoring nodes and services seems like a big accelerator. My use-case doesn't generate enough revenue to pay for their platform when scaled up tho.

Testing host OSes and container runtimes for edge devices. Ruled out #k3s (👆idle CPU usage), #armbian (stale host pkgs).

Docker-compose seems solid, and a host OS based on either @AlpineLinux or @yoctoproject. About to test @balena_io, wary of lockin. Any experiences?

@ringtheory @christi3k @lehudgins named them for galaxies in the local group: Milky Way, Ursa Minor, Leo, Sculptor, Draco, Virgo. Did I get them right?

#mapping peeps: @pdxmutualaid is looking to streamline matching food/pharm pickup requests with volunteers. Makes me think of @HOTOSM a bit. Anyone aware of geo-sensitive dispatch queues? @lyzidiamond @geografa @donpdonp plz fwd to specialists. Looking at custom py soln.

FTA: "These filaments counter-rotate with their neighbors, creating a new array of miniature vortices / Those vortices also form filaments, which in turn form vortices / team observed three generations of this cascading cycle / a Russian nesting doll of disorder." New physics 🤩

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

Turbulence is everywhere, but it is one of the least understood phenomena in classical physics. Now, researchers may have identified a fundamental mechanism by which turbulence develops by smashing vortex rings head-on into each other https://t.co/gZOt8x91W9
