I feel like that's probably a badge of honor.

See, it's a good question! I looked it up, but didn't find a firm answer. As far as I could figure, they:

  • eventually freeze, crack open, and thaw
  • get stepped on by a heavy animal (they are eaten by ducks & beavers)
  • clunking around the bottom of a river/pond, letting the sand wear it down.

All conjecture, but I don't know!

 

Heya! In addition to terrestrial plants, I keep a pond. And you know what looks amazing? Lotus.
So I have myself some lotus seeds. They have quite hard shells that need to be exposed to water & light without hurting the delicate endosperm inside. To open the shell it seems most of the lotus growing guides have you:

  1. Dremeling
  2. Filing or Sanding
  3. Sawing
  4. Drilling
    And it looks like a LOT of work. With room for finger injury.

So anyway, there's this one guy online that's like "I just lightly hit them with a hammer" and I'm 100%, SOUNDS LIKE VERIFIED FOLK WISDOM.

So here we are, a week later, with lightly smacked lotus seeds, and by golly they are all sprouting.

I mean, moving the whole solar system just makes sense at a certain level of energy expenditure - if you are already generating enough power to do interstellar travel, might as well take the whole house with you. Sucks if you live here and don't like the new travel direction of the system though, I guess. Find a new solar system to live in at that point?

 

Hopped away as fast as it could.

Sure! My answer may or may not be useful but go for it!

Hi, have you followed the basic setup guide?

If you are less tech savvy the docker installation might be the way to go for Piefed.

Each instance already has the capability of fully changing the logo and branding:

Federation is also controllable, you can just not federate, or block all:

As for the cloudflare tunnel, you should be able to set up an application that points to your local installation.

Finally, if you like the dev installation you set up, and want to move it to production, you can follow this guide , but I'd probably just create a new fresh instance.

 

Hello, /c/gardening! It has been a solid little while since I posted, or in fact grew anything.
Life dealt me a really harsh hand of cards at the end of last year and I'm finally getting going again.

What broke the seal for me was someone else needed plants, and I was like 'don't buy those, I'll grow you some'. And then of course, why not start some for me.....?

And here we are! I hope your gardens are thriving.

Homestar: Ooh it's dark and damp in this cave. It's kind of boring contemplating all these shadows!

A scary shadow looms over the cave wall, and Homestar gasps, but it just resolves to a distorted shadow of Strong Bad.

Strong Bad: Hey Homestar! Have you discovered Plato's deep mysteries of philosophy for youself yet?

Homestar: No.....Ooooh, A DIAMOND~

Strong Bad: Oh well, too bad keep try - did you say A DIAMOND?

Having definitely never left Earth, I've been unable to listen to it as the title recommends, but the whole album is also excellent from inside a gravity well. Something seems to have happened to the bandcamp page at the time of this post, so you get an archive.org link.
