I listened to all three. It was hard to stop and take breaks. I think they just got progressively better. Such a good series!

yeah i can understand that. I think every group of people can feel uncomfortable around another group of people. my general stance is to let everyone create the community that they feel comfortable with. although I think that stance can be used in the wrong way, and is used to perpetrate patriarchy and toxic culture. its complicated.

Interesting. Never heard of it. Seems overly complicated to make it gender based. But I like the idea.

I like the idea of a Random Folks shed lol

That's so cool! Such an amazing resource. I wish more library's did that.

Yeah as with everything the idea more nuanced then it's slogan, "NoLawns!". I appreciate the NoLawns sentiment and simplicity of the slogan (for lack of a better word). I can see that maybe "Less Lawns, More Native Plants" isn't quite as catchy. :P

Looks interesting. I just gave it a spin. I've been mostly using Cheogram on Android.

Yeah it's definitely a process. I've been trying to expand all the places I have natives and plant more. Also I keep expanding our garden. But I've 1.5acres that was "lawn" when I started, so still lots of mowing for now.

I use my OG pixel phone plus syncthing for unlimited photo and video backup on Google photos. Think I'm going to move away from this soon though, trying to slowly get away from Google.

First those nasturtiums are beautiful!!

I'd would be curious how others feel, but for me #nolawns is a long term goal or process and a part of that process is actually mowing.

I tried stopping mowing and I loved all the different flowers and grasses that grew. But we were quickly over run by a rat sized vole that loved the habitat. Then I also noticed I wasn't keeping up with topping or pulling all the different plants that I didn't want propagating (thistles and other invasives).

Anyway I think having lawn is on my path to nolawn. I can onnly take on so much space at a time, so I just keep converting areas to no lawn areas and I continue to mow the rest.

Yeah that HAT looks pretty sweet, haven't found a place to buy it though.

Power supply of those 3.5" discs will be the main problem, as you can’t do that over USB.

Yeah I would have to come up with some other way to power the drives, the OWC enclosure has a power supply, but not sure I could harvest what I need. I'm going to have to open it up and see how useful it might be.

Another thought is this m.2 to sata adapter that I could put in the NUC5. I would still have to figure out power though.
