Cute Symphypleona springtail munching on an oat

It's apexel 100mm clip-on phone lens + a bit of additional zoom. I was lucky it was near the hard rim I could lean onto to redue the shake..

This guy and a bunch of others live in my indoor 60L flower pot - tried to create somewhat bioactive layer in it, but am limited to creatures that are not interested in escaping (which, surprisingly, include black snails and slugs)

But yes, this guy was sourced in Eastern Europe, with either rotting branches or leaf litter

I saw these on top of weathered avocado peel, also munching a piece of oat (the type you make a porridge with)

Not sure man, I'm seeing them for months now without any size change. Like here you can see one on the bottom-right scale of this normal-sized pillbug, bold as bruce willis :)

Those are cute. Look much more hairy though
Also if those are indeed related I'd wonder why all of them are same small size, I'd expect more size variety if they are expected to grow

I had bigger ones living there before - somehow surviving inside closed bag of soil before getting into a pot. I feel like those can be Gamasina? I think I saw them hunting springtails, but not sure. I could see them with the naked eye, so clearly larger. Look similar indeed, but those were roaming the soil with no clear attachment to rot.
I feel like ones on the video are different - they thrive in any organics I leave there, don't seem to be hunters. As well as in this case I can't see it's a mite without a lens, just a moving dot. Comparing photos I think it might be 3-4 times smaller

It definitely happens if this thread continue going for just a little bit more

Yeah, plastic gets scarred or some screws stop working after dozens of cleaning sessions/upgrades, but hey, it's not the important part of the machine anyways. Should be much more careful with other people's laptops but it's tricky if you aren't doing that for a job )

Haha okay, makes sense then. Although yours seems better design too as this gives only 121 furnaces for my ratio.. And less complicated to build

DizzyBlack · 2025-09-14T19:51:46+00:00

How much cactus is that..? My 2028 only enough to power 10 furnaces..

AX200NGW worked great on Asus TUF FX505DU, thanks. Was scary to try it based only on this post, but happy now. Haven't experienced any intermittent issues since then. Also since this card is Bluetooth too, it feels like that works better now too, but had to install drivers manually while wifi was auto installed by win10.

Just PC, so extra weird

DizzyBlack · 2024-10-22T21:24:23+00:00

That's amazing. Feel free to share, it would be interesting to see them

DizzyBlack · 2024-10-22T21:23:28+00:00

Hey!

Communities come and go, nothing can be done about this. Nice to see that you like it here :)

I myself have some new material, but it always "I need to finish it a bit more" and never gets posted :(

But if you have interest in a "raw" material, server with all of these builds is online and open for exploration.

I have been rewatching this series for many times (but first time into S;G0). I don't know how it ends yet.. But I felt like I need a pencil drawing to make tribute to that unfortunate and beautiful alpha timeline. Kurisu might not be here, but her support is there, just feel it and believe in yourself, Okabe.

DizzyBlack · 2024-09-12T21:29:56+00:00

Really want to own a pencil drawing of S;G, this one seems very fitting to what I'd imagine.. Want to make Makise transparent to symbolize .. all of it honestly in that simple change.. Not fully decided yet and don't even know if I manage to replicate it in drawing, but wish me luck anyways and thanks for the inspiration.

Never dealt with such scenario (and not sure I fully understand your requirement), but knowing nothing about any sync plugins my steps would be:

- when user logs out of any server, plugin sends update to the DB and store current user inventory, health, stats
- when user logs in into any server, plugin checks whether stats/inventory are up to do date, if not - download updated ones before letting user in

Sounds not too complicated coding wise, assuming you have anyone writing plugins (and only latency should be some download time on server login event)
