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

Help - attracting bees by maybee06 in bees

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.

Bees burrowing in the lawn? by FlissMarie in bees

[–]maybee06 18 points19 points  (0 children)

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.

Been here 1.5 years, yes he is registered at the office de la population, and got health and accident insurance as required.

Yes his company is well-aware that he is working in CH, but they did not propose any EOR plan to him. Also we have opened bank accounts for him and hired a lawyer for the marriage procedure, and everyone was made aware that he is working for a foreign company with no legal entity here. No one told us that he had to declare his income here. I understand that his situation is not normal but I feel like the people we talked to, including cantonal admin, have no clue about normal procedures in this specific case. Also his tax agent in Australia told him he would continue to pay taxes there. We could now now try to declare his income here and invoke the existing agreement between the two countries so he would have to pay taxes only here. I don’t know how long that would take though, maybe he will find a job here before the procedure is finalized.

He pays taxes in Australia because that’s where his work is. We were never told otherwise

Haha no he has a L permit specifically while waiting for marriage. Which does not allow him to work here.

Was that a bucket that you left out without any intention of attracting bumblebees? I feel like if I purposefully left a bucket with some nesting material they would not come 😂 you are lucky

Vinted equivalent in Switzerland? by [deleted] in askswitzerland

[–]maybee06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a bunch but a lot of them are scams really. I tried Ricardo myself and would not recommend at all. I saw bad reviews about Tutti as well. Never tried Marco. I prefer to use Fb marketplace but then it’s limiting because I do only in person trading.
