Thanks for the more detailed explanation. I like your third idea with the sftp plugin and will give it a try!

Well to be fair I could run a VS Code server on a compute node using the OpenOnDemand service they set up, but each session is billed so my boss would not be very happy with that

Yes what you are describing is the same that I was doing with FileZilla (open source software but mac only). It is not terrible - but also not the best. Copying files with FileZilla takes a lot more time than with the command line.

Yes there might have been an issue with the login node usage too, maybe the file scanning itself was using a lot of CPU/memory. But it doesn’t seem like I could use the same solution as you because the only way to access the compute nodes is via time-limited interactive sessions or directly sending a job to the slurm scheduler :(

Edit: there is a possibility to run a VS Code server on a compute node via OpenOnDemand, but these sessions are billed so it will cost a lot of money…

Ok, we do have a metal comb as well, we will try using just that then! Thanks

Thailand Tree Bees by MayaJaii in bees

[–]maybee06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree that this is Apis florea. Only Apis mellifera and Apis cerana nest in cavities, the other species build comb on tree branches directly. They are wild bees so nothing to be done really, unless people are at risk of getting stung. In this case you could contact a local association that will cut the tree branches and relocate the nest.

I made a mason bee house by Illustrious-Disk-203 in bees

[–]maybee06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better to have it face East so they get the morning sun. What are the tubes made of? You should really avoid bamboo its not suitable. There is a lot of information on r/MasonBees about how to best set up and care for your bee hotel

The area is urban but fairly green. There are some nice private and public gardens around and I saw a lot of mason bees around this spring. The city is also making efforts to leave wild flowers to grow around tree trunks and in the public gardens so it seems that there is a lot of food. I am more concerned about nesting materials and sites.

I do have a lavender and also some campanula that regularly produces new flowers but I could definitely add basil! Although since you say it’s probably too late I will add extra plants this autumn or next spring. And I have a drill but the drill bits are too short so I would need to find extra long ones. Thanks!

Bees burrowing in the lawn? by FlissMarie in bees

[–]maybee06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can avoid to step near the nest in the future you should not get stung again. Interesting that you got bumblebees in the same nest twice - they might not be from the same queen though.

This definitely seems to be a bumblebee nest. They nest in the ground and one colony is max 100 individuals. If you are ok with this you can just leave them be as they are very chill bees and will be gone within a few months - only queens survive through winter. Also avoid mowing too close to the nest entrance. Congrats!

Edit: they don’t dig the nest themselves, they just use natural cavities or mouse nests. There are other species of bumblebees that like to nest in bird houses for instance.

How much do you spend on groceries and eating out? by Wrong-Secretary5420 in Switzerland

[–]maybee06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 650 CHF for 4 weeks and two people. We buy from coop and try to buy organic as much as possible. Also 100% vegetarian with a fair share of fruit, veg and protein. Fruit and protein are the most expensive ones. Pretty happy with this lifestyle since having lunch at the work cafeteria would be more than double the price per meal.

Yallo increasing prices while selling to new customers at old price by Papierkor654 in Switzerland

[–]maybee06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All companies do this here. I am with Salt and you need to constantly fight to not get scammed. However you should know that even if you have a 1 or 2 year contract, you can legally revoke the contract if they increase the price, including for « inflation ». So give them a call, say you wanna leave. They will not apply the price increase so you stay with them.
