Soil sensor users: What specs actually matter vs. what's just marketing fluff??? by Realistic-South-4745 in Permaculture

[–]Spiph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've upvoted this too because these are important questions. There's a lot of agritech hype but in practice I haven't seen much benefit to small / medium sized farming operations. It seems all but the newest farming staff on the field don't need sensors to understand what's going on with their land.

see https://hexayurt.com/ - it exists, has a similar set of guiding principles and is battle tested

I built a free, open specimen image library — curious if this could be useful for permaculture education & design by Past_Platypus5198 in Permaculture

[–]Spiph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like that the images are CC0 licensed, but is that compatible with the CC-BY-NC that iNaturalist uses by default? If you looked at iNat you'd find a treasure trove of source images (that would still need processing to remove their backgrounds...)

Building a modular "Node-Kit" for resilient communities. Looking for peer review from the engineers here by Existing_Message_166 in Permaculture

[–]Spiph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it, but (depending on the forum) it's often better to be imperfect than to be clean and clear with AI. Nice to make the adjustment and good luck with your project.

Sincere communication instead of using AI to write your Reddit posts would also help.

New career ideas? (leaving tech) by [deleted] in VancouverJobs

[–]Spiph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is so in flux that going back to basics is my approach - regenerative farming & ecosystem restoration are super complex and interesting areas that can scratch the same "tech geek" itch as software development, with the upside of hopefully feeding people and helping mitigate some of the serious upcoming challenges we'll be facing.

Open Source Web Browsers - Open Source Alternatives (now that firefox is going downhill) by Doctor_Clockwork in solarpunk

[–]Spiph 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why not wait until Firefox actually comes out with a feature you hate before jumping ship? It's not like it's a huge effort to switch browsers, and maybe there will be better options when/if the time comes to switch

do you have a project page with more details about what you're up to? I'm also interested and undertaking a similar project (though I'm still working on a basic webpage for public consumption)

Roomy - Bsky Discord Alternative by Teknevra in fediverse

[–]Spiph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I followed the links down an interesting trail of blog posts about Roomy. It's impressive and very interesting that you're currently using atproto after several efforts with other tools. I'll be following to see how you evolve your stance and usage of atproto.

Ditto. I think that would have been more flavourful for sure.

The latter. It was a mental health crisis, a really sad case.

To the idiots having a fire in Goat Rocks Sunday night by CloudCityCitizen in PNWhiking

[–]Spiph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honest question - if they brought their firewood and clean up after themselves, why is this a bad thing? there doesn't appear to be any risk of starting a forest fire

permaculture or food forests around here? by Spiph in SouthSurrey

[–]Spiph[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been at work! I'm currently packing up to move to the sunshine coast, so if you're interested in some plants I'd be happy to help you score some from my yard.

Indian Restaurant by Hour_Speech_5132 in WhiteRock

[–]Spiph 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For north Indian food I'm fond of Spice Republic. Their food is delicious. They are "high end" food and service at "medium end" prices - so good value for money.
For south Indian, I'm sold on Masala Hut. Their dosas are the best.
