overkill

Yeah, that’s pretty interesting. It’s one of those mushrooms that in a pinch you could probably eat and it wouldn’t kill you. Supposedly tastes okay, too.

I would generally agree, but 1) there may well be dead wood just under the grass and 2) these conditions may explain the atypical stem. Never fully trust ID by pic and opinions on the internet obviously but this looks very much like Pleurotus ostreatus to me. (Also because there aren’t many alternative candidates in my opinion.)

Bei allem Verständnis für die Situation finde ich es ganz schön heftig, dass hier unwidersprochen empfohlen wird, einen Unfall herbeizuführen. Auch noch so “kleine” Auffahrunfälle bergen ein hohes Verletzungsrisiko an Hals und Kopf.

I use btrbk (on a btrfs filesystem) and I’ve never been happier. It fits my workflow perfectly: Frequent automated local snapshots with the occasional incremental backup to one of several encrypted external drives. It’s fast and reproducible since it’s all in a single conf file.

Into the breach

I’m looking forward to try it myself… and also wondering if I’ll ever be able to read it as b-cache-fs rather than bca-chefs.

There are nicer ways of saying this but I agree that this is not Leucocoprinus birnbaumii, but some sort of Conocybe.

Looks a lot like Paxillus involutus. Cute dog.

After trying out a few distros over the last 20 years or so (openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora and Silverblue were the ones I actively used for a stretch of time on desktop, Debian and CentOS on server), I also landed on NixOS.

Who knows what the future brings, but things feel more settled to me than they ever have. Maybe that’s because there’s a (declarative) solution for every custom setup, it’s just a function of time and profiency in Nix. Or maybe it’s because I invested quite a bit of work into a trivially reproducible setup for most of my machines and workflows (all in one glorious version-controlled flake), that the sunk costs are too high to switch elsewhere.

I’m still willing to experiment with DEs/WMs, currently running Gnome on my main and Sway on weaker machines. Hyprland is a bit out there for my taste, but I’m really looking forward to giving Cosmic DE a try once it’s ready.
