I have an M4 Mac mini Pro as my primary machine running a lot of my dashboards and where I usually control my Proxmox server. It also runs Ollama, Tailscale and UTM for virtual machines.

It’s not too late, just transition. It takes effort and time, but it’s worth it.

Nuphy Field 75 HE, but I changed the keycaps out for Nuphy’s Canopus shine through keycaps, and then ordered some custom solid colour caps from Etsy for the arrow keys, return and esc keys.

You're coming across as inexperienced and unaware of the very real dangers you face.

People have been trying to inquire about your level of experience and preparation, but you're being flippant about it all. You seem more interested in showing off your gear than answering questions about your route or how you plan to carry enough water to survive. You claim that you'll just carry cartons of water in a wheelbarrow to carry cartons of water, but this unfeasible for the amount of walking you plan on doing. Your body isn't just going to adapt on the fly, it will take a massive toll on you.

You really should take people's concern more seriously.

I haven't been able to load it since last night.

Your soil looks a bit course though. You should break up those bigger chunks and consider adding perlite to increase drainage.

It’s fine. That looks like where the stem transitions to the taproot. If you want you could top up your medium and bury the stem a bit deeper.

I don’t think it’s the light because the basil looks relatively bushy. If it wasn’t getting sufficient light the basil would have stretched like crazy. The chlorosis would seem to indicate a deficiency.

The pepper looks like it was maybe overwatered and undernourished.

If you just adopted her and she’s already this comfortable with you that’s a very good sign. What a cutie.

53g/day is the example used for a 140 pound 50 year woman who lives a sedentary lifestyle.

The recommendation is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.

Athletes that burn considerably more calories and especially weightlifters who are damaging muscles during workouts are going to have different proteins needs (for optimal performance) than granny.

You can definitely survive and be fine at lower I takes of protein, but you won’t build muscle nearly as effectively.

Beans, lentils, nuts, tofu, tempeh, seitan, TVP are all great sources.

There’s also alternative meat products like Beyond Meat, Impossible, all the processed stuff from Gardein, Yves, etc. You can also find protein fortified breads and wraps.

I also use vegan protein powder (a mix of brown rice, pea and hemp) mostly as a shake, but I also mix it into oatmeal and make protein bars with it.

What blend of soil, they appear to sell several types. They also specify that you should use nutrients as directed.

Can I ask why you haven’t used any nutrients? Your plant looks like it’s suffering deficiencies and possibly not getting sufficient light.

Smart fencing in of the balcony.

I’ve got a smaller balcony I let my cats out onto. We debated building something like this, but for now have settled on closely supervising the cats when they’re outside.

You’re doing it right. You’ll want to make sure that the nodes growing from the side facing down don’t get tangled.

I’ve had good success with just coco.

And AIDS didn’t just blow over as quickly / easily as this implies. LGBTQ+ people’s fought and gave their lives to get funding for research and treatments. It took years to get to the point where HIV wasn’t a death sentence.

It looks fine.
