@matthew I haven’t used Thunderbird with PGP, but I do know that I’ve had to trust imported keys before they worked.

Made some NC red slaw with purple cabbage….pretty good! Would be better with some BBQ.

@atyh Re-reading The Martian and Mark’s been toting all of his panels across the Martian desert so he can re-charge his rover.
kWh/Sol = Pirate-Ninja (his made up unit)

@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter I decided to go with Proso millet because it has a history of doing well in my area. I ground some up this evening, tried to blow out the hulls, and made a hot cereal paste. It was in-between grits and cream of wheat and I liked it! Thinking about planting in about a month and might try some other grains.

So here it is. My first ever 8x10 pinhole camera image taken on an. ISO glass plate yesterday for world pinhole photography day. This is a 4 hour exposure of the sun's path on 30th April 2023 as seen from my deck in Portobello Dunedin New Zealand. Developed under a safelight using adonal at a 1:50 dilution. #pinholephotography #NewZealand

CW: Death, feelings of failure, obscure 70s music, inspiration 

@mhjohnson We replaced the boilers a few years back at Aurora Central HS and I scanned the boiler room and “steam” tunnels. It was built in the mid 50’s. Though asbestos was everywhere, the whole school could have fit down there. Hundreds of feet of 12’ wide, 7’ tall tunnels.

@atyh Bearable with any savings? I usually get around 28% of my youtube original audio.

@atyh
ffmpeg -i 'input.aac' -c:a libopus -b:a 24000 'output.opus'

Not everyone will agree with me, but I would love to see more Stargate.

@atyh @gabriel @bonifartius I remember doing the math for lead/acid batteries. If I had a huge bank, didn't discharge but 5-10%, and performed a little maintenance, they would last almost 100 years.

@BlackAzizAnansi I think a lot of people saw what happened to Miles Dyson and the black community just didn't want to be a part of that future.

@atyh Do you use the Opus file format? It works really well for me. Voice usually sounds good at 24kb/s. Some kinds of voices even work at 6kb/s.

@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter @mary Go ahead and post it, @mary says I’m woefully ignorant about chickens!😂 Anything might help.

@atyh That's pretty great! I'm probably hovering somewhere in the 180-200GB...😅
At work I've been working on documenting our workflow and creating reference material. We all mostly use OneNote but it behaves in strange ways at times. I feel like at some point someone is going to break all of the links in this documentation. Smaller, simpler things like Gemini are more future proof in my mind. If only I could convince others. It's like they don't believe Murphy's Law.

@mary and I want your input. We need to do an exterior wall mock up for the new house we’re building. I don’t just want to tear it down when we’re done, but rather design it to be a permanent chicken coop. This thing will be like a concrete bunker for chickens. We’ve never owned chickens, but could imagine having up to a dozen one day. What size should we make this thing? I want to pour a height of 10’-8” on the tallest wall to test the form system, but don’t want it bigger than it needs to be.
