Question for #ios users, I am on Android but wondering what good clients for Mastodon/Fedi are available that I can recommend for someone new to the Fediverse, thanks! #askfedi #apple

@nprofile…dyu0 very cool!!! I don't know your plans, but if you make your way to Bavaria and have extra free time let me know!

I just pulled these Pachyphytum (I believe) leaves last week and they are already starting to root! The adult plants were stem pruned and rerooting indoors until they settle. I'm running out of succulent soil so probably making a mix with standard potting soil and lava rock for the time being, and moving rooted ones to temporary micro-pots just for root growth encouragement. Then slip-pot survivors into a better pot later.

@nprofile…vfe6 that looks great! ⭐
I have a transparent greenhouse with a floor on my balcony (it's dark so can't take a pic) with metal shelves inside and frost fleece double wrapped around the shelves themselves. I haven't peeked in for a while since I don't want to let out too much warmer air. It's in a sunny spot so hopefully things will be okay. It's mostly carnivores and I expect to lose a lot of the traps but as long as the rhizomes make it they should be fine (hopefully).

Just my annual reminder that if you think you *might* need your assistive gear for FOSDEM, you probably *do* need your assistive gear at FOSDEM. Brussels and ULB isn't an easy one to navigate and while I don't use my walking cane daily anymore, I keep it with me for this (and C3). You'll want to try to keep the balance of packing light and still having everything on hand you'll need.

Looking for a recommendation on ultra-light eating utensils. Due to a timing mishap on my part I'll be attending FOSDEM this year with an insecure front crown (the permanent replacement will not be ready until after I'm already on the way). It's already fallen out once and when it was put back in they said to cut everything up really small when eating. So, I am looking for a very light sturdy travel utensil kit for my backpack that is also easy to keep clean.

Also- please make sure your gear is visible as dark-colored materials can virtually disappear in some areas with make it harder for everyone (another lesson learned the hard way). People will generally give you the extra walking space as long as they can see what you need. Last year I posted about the issue and some people pointed me in the right direction to a UV-Tape display and it worked really well.

#39c3 hint, if you think you might need to take your assistive mobility gear to Congress and are unsure about it (pack weight, bulk, etc.) it's still a good idea to take it, even if you are not a daily user. Canes, crutches, walkers, etc. are available in Hamburg during business hours but it's no fun having to hunt something down last-minute and probably getting whatever is just available in-store as it might not be the best fit. Also test your gear before going (I learned this the hard way).

@nprofile…6a48 @nprofile…zwws @nprofile…3gt0 that's actually a really good idea. When I was running a microcinema/film festival in the 2000s and made the monthly schedule page I would check it in a text-mode browser to make sure everything worked and could be read by screen readers for our patrons who were blind or low-vision.

Maybe a long shot, but has anyone gotten KOReader and Nickelmenu running on a converted Tolino to Kobo ereader? Originally branded as a Tolino Shine Color and currently running as a Kobo Clara Colour. Usually it's straightforward on native Kobo (Linux) and works after some jumping through hoops on older Tolinos (Android) but this one has me stuck. It's pretty much Kobo, but not all? I have already visited GitHub, Mobileread and e-reader-forum (de).

Checking in on the bog that I replanted on the 16th with a digital magnifier to see how it is settling in. Seems like it's doing okay (most sundew traps are progressing except for a couple and the Venus Flytrap seeds seem to have set). Some moss has burnt tips like it did in the old container and not sure if it's the lighting, dry conditions or something else yet.

Packing away the winter greenhouses and acclimating some of the outdoor plants to springlike weather fully outdoors (Zone 7b). We still have some freezes so I kept the protection fabric out and will cover them at night (and they will probably be moving inside at times as needed). The thin white frost cover doubles as a sun shade for the afternoon. I'm leaving the dead traps on until I divide/repot which should hopefully be next week.

Whew! I knew this was going to be a tricky replanting and it was but went more smoothly than I'd expected. This mini bog started out in 2023 as a random throwing things together with different Sundew seed stalks, moss and some Butterworts in a Tupperware-type container using coconut coir as the growing medium and I actually didn't expect it to survive. It seemed to (mostly) do okay and it was time to move it to a larger container.

I'm preparing another batch of growing medium (mix of peat and perlite). If you are new to growing carnivores, you might not know yet that the medium should be soaked and rinsed before planting. If you plant in dry medium and then water it, it may repel the water (see pic 3 where it is floating on top of the water). I'm using one of @nprofile…nssy 's fermentation jars and periodically shaking it, breaking up barky chunks and letting it set in a warm room.

A change of plans resulted in me starting spring replanting this week instead of later, but I prepared the Venus Flytrap seedlings from 2023 for their first year outdoors (see link for original seeding). The germination cups were getting kind of ick anyway. There are also some Pinguicula Weser/Butterwort divisions in the second pic I replanted today. Most carnivorous plants do best when replanting while still dormant.

For this year's winter dormancy of the temperate carnivorous plants (zone 7b) I am trying a balcony setup with portable greenhouses. The left one is packed with mulch under the netting. I've done it indoors before in an unheated storage room with wintering lights, but there isn't enough space this year. I'll probably modify this as I go along and I need to find a better anchoring system than the bungee cords.

@npub19lt…qfjk there is a lot of great advice so far, what I would add is if you bring a backpack, it might be best to keep it in your lap during talks (especially in room Janssen, mine was soaked in beer from a spill or more in the above rows).
This has never been a problem before (for me), but last year I was pickpocketed in the crowd outside Delirium (only a vape, luckily).
Bluetooth can be very congested so if you wear headphones make sure they can also work wired.
It is really neat, enjoy!

I have an Android (and Nokia/HMD) question. After updating to Android 14 my Nokia G42 5G lost AAC codec over Bluetooth support, which downgraded some of my headphones as they are falling back to SBC (more noticeable on some headphones than others and these are without aptX* support, which is still working fine). Developer Options doesn't change it. Has anyone else seen this? I already factory defaulted the phone and recently updated to the April 2024 patch with no change.
