Memmy on iOS has filtering under settings. Haven’t tried it yet but presumably typing in “hexbear” would not only filter out comments/posts from the instance, but also comments/posts about it from other places. Never have to deal with any of the drama again. Also filter out anything else you don’t want to see.

Looks like there are a bunch in the instances list. How it works, from my understanding, is that someone has to search for a comm and/or subscribe before the content actually syncs. I ended up subbing to all the hexbear comms so they show up on Mander but I’m the only one subbed to most of them.

Unfortunately, someone in the home instance has to find and interact first.

There’s also a bot that some instances run which automatically subs to all linked comms so they are searchable from within a home instance but not many run it.

Blåhaj zone defeded early from hexbear before federation was possible. The admin had a change of heart or something before it was turned on. The two biggest trans-supportive instances not being linked would be disappointing. Seems like specifically choosing to fed and turning off a block makes it more likely to not be turned off again as the struggle has been worked out.

Glad the bears are out of hibernation. It’s really been fun seeing random hexers posting in places like, startrek.website even beyond the political posting.

Not that late, the comments have doubled in the past 90 minutes and the active sort algo can have this go for another day or so.

KDE Plasma is great!
Feel free to keep on trucking with your setup. I’ve been using a different solution for discord streaming and wanted to share in case it sounds helpful for you. It’s been an improvement for me. Your mileage may vary.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/discord-screenaudio
Do not use your main account, make another one only for streaming with audio. Works with x11 and Wayland has more features. It’s a slight annoyance to have to connect to a discord chat with a second account but this works really well for streaming. TOS is sustained with main account and you actually get working audio/video streaming with a second account that won’t get banned (been doing this for years) but even if it does it won’t matter because it’s only used for streaming.

Just another option, feel free to disregard if it’s not right for you.

Saw this recently on a WAN Show (19:12). How true is this? It sounds wild.

Does this count for gardening?
Landlords bad, plants good!

TL;DR: apparently the management at my apartment complex considers plants to be "Seasonal decoration." Here's the email chain:

My landlord: You are in violation of your lease with the condition of your patio/deck area. The only thing allowed on your porch is patio furniture. Correct the issues shown in the attachment ASAP! If you have any questions please contact the property Manager M-F 9 am – 5 pm.

Thank You from our office staff and maintenance team! [Attached photo: My balcony seen from below, showing my one plant.]

Me: I've just re-read my lease agreement and could not find the clause you are referring to. The closest thing I could find is this, from the Community Rules Addendum, Use of Unit and Common Areas:

"3. It is the Tenant’s responsibility to keep balconies and patios in a clean and orderly condition. Storing of cartons, garbage, boxes, appliances, or other visually objectionable items on the patio or balcony is prohibited. Clotheslines or clothes hanging over balconies are not permitted. Hanging clothes and towels out to dry or use of the patio or balcony as a general storage area is not permitted. Seasonal and holiday decorations are not allowed without prior written permission from Landlord. If allowed, seasonal and holiday decorations must be reasonable, must not interfere with or disturb other tenants’ quiet enjoyment of the Community, and must be promptly removed within a reasonable time after the holiday, not to exceed 14 days or as otherwise directed by Landlord. Grilling or barbecuing is not permitted on balconies or patios."

It does NOT say "The only thing allowed on your porch is patio furniture," nor does it make any mention of prohibiting plants. If you are referring to another clause, please let me know.

My landlord: While there is no direct mention of potted plants, they fall under the category of seasonal and holiday decoration.

Potted plants are considered seasonal items not currently permitted by the property manager. If you would like to, you may stop by our leasing office during the week to speak with the property manager regarding the use of unit and common areas.

Me: Plants are not "seasonal and holiday decoration." They are plants. They do not get put away for the winter, they do not celebrate a holiday, they just sit there. All year long. If potted plants are not permitted, then the lease agreement needs to be rewritten to reflect that. The lease which I signed does not prohibit potted plants.

My landlord: If you have any comments or concerns regarding use of unit common areas, please stop by our leasing office to speak directly with our property manager.

Me: If you have any further concerns, please contact me via email. Otherwise, I consider this matter resolved.

Thank you for your understanding

(That last email was sent after closing time. I guess I'll find out tomorrow how that goes over.)

Particles are going to settle at roughly the same rate either orientation.

  • Vertical storage will stack higher and have a greater distance to opening on top, causing the not mixed well enough issue.
  • Horizontal storage more evenly distributes the mix for a more similar pour upon reorientation.
  • Flat on it’s face would distributor even closer to even mix, but that way lies madness and is not optimal for pantry storage. [Maybe flat on top of fridge might work?]

So the spectrum will be the same at any orientation except the effect will be more or less pronounced. With flat storage leading to the least granular separation while also being inconvenient to practically store.

Least effort way: Store sideways/horizontally/perpendicular to pouring. Not vertical. Will settle to side instead of bottom and come out more evenly.
