I don’t have background information, sorry.

Did you repot it before?

I think it might be one or a combination of the three:

• Not enough light: some leafes look unusually light or dark, and the whole plant is a bit droopy. Is it somewhere near enough a window? Still, not my top guess.
• Overfertilization: do you see the burnt tips, very dark-green leafes, and claw-shape? Especially the top leafes look like that.
• Oxygen deficiency (root rot): most likely. You have to act FAST NOW. Just not watering won’t help. If you already see signs of it, and they are strong, the roots are already mush.

I would recommend:

• Check if the pot has drainage and the soil is light enough to store oxygen (e.g. by having perlite in it).
• Put it out and let it drip off.
• Don’t water too much in the winter. Keep the soil slightly moist and let the top layer dry off sometimes.
• Consider semi-hydro with clayballs. You can’t overwater, and if you still get root rot, you can act WAY faster (flushing, drying, etc.).
• And maybe add beneficial microbes, which will make the plant more resistant to root rot.

I think you will definitely get my reason why semi-hydro is great. In a few days, you’ll get swarmed by fungus gnats. I haven’t seen one since I switched to LECA ;)

Bazzite Bazzite Bazzite!

I was at the same point a while ago.

Everything I touch breaks, and I also had enough of my system breaking because updating with an unstable power grid is like playing russian roulette.

I turned to Fedora Silverblue first, then rebased to uBlue. Aurora first, and then Bazzite. Silverblue feels exactly as the regular variant, Aurora is great for desktop use, and for my gaming PC, Bazzite is fucking great. It just works.

It comes with a lot of tweaks and super many small additions that just make your life easier, especially for gaming.

Updates just happen in the background when there’s nothing better to do and get applied to the next boot image. And in case something doesn’t work as expected, you can always go back in time.

You can also customise it almost/ just as much as regular distros, but it isn’t quite as easy if you want to customise A LOT (e.g. using TWMs).

I didn’t notice huge performance boosts tho, it just comes with more tools ootb, for example to make your GPU more silent when idle.

As said, Bazzite is based on Fedora, so you always get new great modern stuff, at the same time as the other Fedora users do.

I have a Logitech MX Master 3s and can really recommend it to you.

It’s on the expensive side, sure, but for something I use daily it’s worth it for me. It is a really great device!

It doesn’t have a (easily) replaceable battery tho. I didn’t take a look at how to replace it, but I think it might be as hard, or easier, than with an electric toothbrush or something, if that’s really important to you.

I can’t even remember when I charged that thing the last time, and I think that’s a good sign for the power consumption. So, even if the battery looses 50% of its capacity over 5-10 years, it will still last for weeks and charge in a very short time, and by that time, it will look so used and disgusting, that you might consider buying a new mouse.

You can also use it while charging (looking at you, Apple mouse!), and it has an USB-C port that also acts not only for power, but also as signal line if you want.

It has a Bluetooth-only mode (for connecting multiple PCs), a wireless dongle, and as said a wired connection.

Bin ich eher nicht sooo der riesen Fan von tbh.

Ich habe in der Vergangenheit einige deutschsprachige Communities gegründet und gemerkt, dass man, in Summe, auf einer Nischenplattform (Lemmy/ Fediverse) in Kombination mit einem Nischenthema (in dem Fall Solarpunk) niemanden erreicht.

Deshalb bin ich dazu übergegangen, den Großteil auf Englisch zu machen, ansonsten ist es verlorene Liebesmühe.

Man kann aber, so weit ich weiß, seine Sprachpräferenzen im Profil angeben. Dann werden deutsche Posts, wenn man Englischsprechender ist, ausgeblendet und nur Deutschen angezeigt.

What do you mean with “Operating System”?

It is most often installed as Docker container, which isn’t an OS, but just includes all dependencies to run. You still need an OS (like Debian) as host.

Thanks for explaining!

I use Casa"OS". It’s fine, but nothing groundbreaking. Cockpit for example can do pretty much the same, and for Docker containers, I nowadays mostly use docker compose.

But hey, it helped me a quite a bit in the beginning, and it’s cool. Pretty basic, but enough for most people, mainly beginners.

Logseq and Obsidian are only similar on the first look, but very different usage wise. Both are very open with a plugin system, and you can modify them to turn them into one eachother.

So, if you want only FOSS, then Logseq is the only choices you have.

But Obsidian is, even though it’s proprietary, very sane. Open plug-in system, active community, great devs who don’t have much against FOSS, and more.

Obsidian

• More similar to a classic note taking app, like OneNote, but with a lot of features. Hierarchical structure, and more of an “essay” style, where you store a lot of text in one page.
• Page linking is only done when you think it makes sense
• Has been a bit longer around than Logseq, feels more polished
• Great sync and mobile app, which support plugins from what I’ve heard

Logseq

• Non-linear outliner. Every page is on the same level, but within a text passage, the indentation matters (parent-child-relationship)
• You create a LOT of more pages. Most of my pages are empty. They are mainly there for linking topics. I rarely create pages manually.
• The journal is where you write most stuff. You then link each block to a page.
• Logseq a bit “special”. May not be for everyone. I for example am a bit of a disorganised thinker, who mentally links a lot of knowledge and throws concepts around all the time. Logseq is my second nature, because it’s more flexible. My GF on the other hand is more structured, and prefers something like Apple Notes, or, if she would care about note taking, something like Obsidian.
• The mobile app isn’t great. It’s fine when I’m not at home, but the desktop version is the “proper” one, and mobile/ iPad a second class citizen.
• Sync is only experimental for now. It will soon be officially supported (hopefully) and self hostable, but it worked fine for me.

I don’t see any problems with that. Even I (and probably most others here), who are FOSS advocates, think Obsidian’s model is fine.

The devs surely get why FOSS is important, and try their best to match the pros of open source. They even stated that if the company goes bankrupt or they stop developing the app, they’ll open source it.

One major thing they do absolutely right is how the notes get stored. On other note taking apps, it’s a proprietary database, often “in the cloud”, where your notes get hold hostage. Here, they’re just Markdown files, and the whole thing is pretty open, encouraging a strong community.

It’s similar to Valve/ Steam. Proprietary, but liked by most Linux people.

You can maybe post something on local marketplaces. Something like Kleinanzeigen (Germany), Facebook Marketplace (US I think) or something similar. Or local groups.

There are a lot of hobbyists who have a printer that stands still for 99% of the time, who can print it for cheap.

Or, as someone else already has suggested, your local library.

Thanks for the notice! It’s now changed in the title.

I’m no native speaker and thought it was a synonym to “From time to time, when you feel the need to”.

Definitely. Looks very fresh and delicious.

Just be aware that some people are sensitive to it and might react negatively to it. That might also be a myth, who knows.

Also, look at the tree it’s growing at. There are some species that can make COTW toxic, or at least inedible, making it bitter.

I really like to make chicken nuggets out of it, but using it just like chicken (e.g. fried rice) is extremely delicious!

Dumb cloud-only stuff. Good that I use Onshape, where stuff like that could never happen!

…wait a minute, shit. It absolutely could and probably will. The owners certainly could restrict the free tier or ban my account if they want, and then everything is gone.

I absolutely hate that. I really like Onshape, because it works great, but we NEED an, at least decent, FOSS option. I don’t necessarily need stuff like flow simulations, just good modeling, like in F360 or Onshape.

FreeCAD didn’t work too for me. The UI was horrible, the workflow very unintuitive and wonky, and it crashed a lot, while not supporting basic functions.

There were a few alternatives around too, but they were in the very alpha stage and didn’t work yet at the time I researched.

I really wish someone would create something from scratch, or fork something that already works, like Blender, and turns it into a CAD.

It’s just sad to know all my hundreds of models in Onshape will get useless some time in the future.

I think you shouldn’t forget that we’re here at c/3dprinting, where only enthusiasts join together. Of course everyone here is a huge fan of 3D printers, those who got frustrated and sold their device aren’t here anymore.

First of all, I’m very happy about having a printer, but more onto that later.

I had two ones yet, and both sucked.

The first was older, shitty and way too big. I wasted many weekends tinkering with that crap, until I accidentally destroyed it and sold it. My second one is the one I still use. It’s a device from China, and the company doesn’t exist anymore. So, if I want to buy replacement parts, I can just pray generic ones fit. And the customer support has always been shit, and the whole company and products seem very wonky in hindsight.

If I would have to buy another printer, it would definitely be something popular, like a Prusa one. It should be very small, silent and easily repairable. I don’t care anymore about fancy features (maybe except auto leveling), it should just not annoy me.

Having a printer is like having a drill or soldering iron. You don’t need it daily, but you’re glad that you have it when you need it. And my friends are too! I’m printing more for my family, neighbours and friends than for myself.

Having a printer without CAD skills is nonsense. But once you can create your own stuff, you have endless capabilities.

I couldn’t live without one by now.

I’ve created a new community called !c/hydroponics. I’ll post those pictures there :)

I’ve jumped head first into hydroponics this year, and the last few weeks and months went into perfecting my balcony.

For the minimal space I’ve got, I have a lot of plants.
For those, I tried to make mostly passive and simple setups, so no spray towers or stuff.

I can post a few pictures if someone is interested, and I’ll probably create a new community too for that wonderful topic.

I barely need to use water, my plants are almost pest free outdoors, and they grow twice as fast and big compared to soil. Fits perfectly into this instance!

Try watering the plant way less, add some drainage (perlite and stones on the bottom) or consider transfering them to an inorganic medium like LECA.

It’s too moist and otherwise you’ll get root rot and fungus gnats, which will kill your plant.

You don’t even need a Slicer that offers a profile for the printer. I have an obscure one and had to make a custom profile, but it works fine.

I personally would recommend Cura over Prusa. They both do the same and copy each other all the time, but Cura is simpler by default imo.

Polyamide is a huge pain to work with. It absorbs water like hell, warps, needs high temperatures, and post-processing is hard.

Did you consider using PETG/ PCTG? They are also very strong, don’t absorb water nearly as much, are easy to print and are UV resistant.

Do you already have experience with CAD modeling? Most programs are Windows only, and the only “good” software I found is Onshape, which isn’t FOSS.

I would recommend Bazzite or Aurora/ Bluefin. Bluefin is Gnome, and Aurora is KDE.

Both Bazzite and Bluefin are very similar. Bazzite is gaming focused, and the other one is more general purpose, but you can use them interchangeably and also rebase from one to the other.

They are the poster childs of the uBlue project, which uses, modifies and redistributes Fedora Silverblue images.

They both are part of the Fedora Atomic family, which makes them nearly indestructible, convenient and secure.

They focus a lot on containerised workflows, e.g. Distrobox, Flatpak, Homebrew, and, as you mentioned, Nix. They all come pre-installed, and if they don’t work ootb (e.g. Nix), they are just one ujust command away.

I have used both over the past year and I couldn’t be more happy. Give them a try!
