I did not know about this before, bookmarking the OpenSnitch github so I can try it out on my PC later

You can find it at Home Depot for sure, tho a Walmart with an outdoor gardening section may have it too

You can order shroom spores online in most US states, they are not considered controlled substance since they contain no psilocybin. Get yourself plastic bag of sealed instant rice at the grocery store and get some micropore tape at the pharmacy. Then, inject the spores into the instant rice package (the spores should come in a syringe, shake it up well before injecting), seal the injection hole with micropore tape (it keeps out bacteria while allowing the growing mushroom mycelium to get the oxygen it needs to live, feel free to poke multiple holes and seal them with micropore tape as well for better gas exchange). It might take a week or two to start seeing mycelium growth in the instant rice bag, but as soon as you do, shake the bag vigorously to help distribute the mycelium around the bag (this helps it establish itself faster and outcompete any bacterial/fungal contaminants that may be present). Then wait another week or so (until the contents of the bag are firm to the touch and your view through the clear plastic part of the bag is entirely filled with white mushroom mycelium).

Next, buy some coco coir from a store that sells gardening supplies (it’s ground up coconut husk, apparently the mushrooms love it, and I’ve had success with it). Boil it in way more water than you think you’ll need (it nearly overflowed💀), and let it dry/cool down then pour that shit into a plastic tub. Get your fully colonized instant rice bag, open it up, and inspect it for contamination (anything blueish, greenish, or generally different in texture or color from the firm, white mycelium of the shrooms). If anything looks weird, cut it out from the block of mycelium. Then, break the mycelium into small chunks and bury the chunks in the tub of coco coir. You’re gonna want to get the ratio of coco coir to mycelium/rice in the tub no greater than 2 or 3 to 1 (if the mycelium has to travel too far between nutritious clumps of rice it won’t colonize the whole tub and contaminants will fill the empty space). Once you’ve got that done, you can pretty much just wait. As long as it’s in the 70s F and moderately humid in the tub, it’ll grow mushrooms within a week or two. You can shine a light on them during the daytime once the mycelium has colonized the whole tub to make it fruit slightly faster if you want.

Once it’s fruiting, harvest it, and don’t hesitate to mist more water into the tub if the mycelium starts to look dry. You can actually get like 4 or 5 harvests out of a tub and for a large enough tub, that can be a substantial amount of mushroom. Once you’ve harvested about that many times (or sooner if it gets contaminated or starts to look unhealthy), bury it outside on dirt and check up on it occasionally, sometimes it’ll fruit a few more times in the dirt.

Damn, trumpoids made it to lemmy? How? Shouldn’t you be spending time with your grandchildren or getting your brain melted by AI slop on facebook or something 💀

You might be able to run WSL and just run a tiling wm/compositor inside that, depending on what it is you do and whether the company would allow WSL

Hyprland on NixOS gang

I use a tiling wm (Hyprland) across 3 monitors, it’s just way more convenient to have 3 workspaces at once in front of me than to be constantly swiping back and forth between them all.

Didn’t Vaush literally get banned off Twitch for saying we should glass Israel?

That depends on your use case, I just did a simple zpool with no redundancy because I wanted maximum speed/capacity and all my data is backed up on an external HDD. If you need redundancy, I would look online for how to configure that and what the optimal setup is.

Actually, I assumed you just had the SSD, if you have more than 256gb of free space between those HDDs, you can go ahead and remove the SSD from your zpool right now (unless your bootloader is there, then you’ll have to make an EFI system partition on one of the HDDs and install a bootloader first)

You realize that there are two possible outcomes. Biden wins, and the Palestinian Genocide gets worse or Trump wins and the Palestinian Genocide gets much worse. You’re voting for it either way, including by refusing to vote at all.

You need to add the new drive to your existing pool because ZFS stores data across all drives by default, similar to a RAID0. Then you remove the old drive and ZFS will automatically copy the data off the failing drive onto the healthy one and allow you to remove the failing drive with no data loss.

Damn, the MAGA crowd made its way onto Lemmy? Surprised they could even figure out how to sign up💀

Removed by mod

People make new distros based on existing distros to alter the software stack in the original distro. Gentoo allows you to use essentially whatever software stack you feel like, it’s less of a traditional distro and more of a general-purpose Linux package manager and dependency resolver. It’s not very opinionated at all.

Best case? People cooperate with each other to share labor/resources in a way that eventually gives rise to a more democratic, non-capitalist economy. Basically star trek without the (probably) impossible technology or the aliens.

Ah fair, I didn’t actually read the article, I just assumed it was semi-recent lol. Probably should have read it first

Use an Ubuntu live USB, all recent versions of Ubuntu have ZFS drivers baked into the live environment. Then you should add your new SSD to the ZFS pool, and remove the old one from the ZFS pool. Your m.2 WiFi slot should be able to host the 2nd drive while you do this, but if not you can use an external USB housing for it, you’ll just have to make sure that the ZFS pool knows its UUID so that it knows it’s the same drive.

I feel like the most likely sort of collapse would be a Roman empire style collapse where it takes centuries to reach completion and we see a period of increased governmental instability/local authoritarianism for a little bit. The most likely cause would be some sort of climate disaster. It probably wouldn’t happen everywhere either, the Byzantine empire lasted well into the middle ages, after all, going on the Rome metaphor. The best strategy would be to move somewhere less effected by the collapse with a hospitable enough climate to support local food production, and enough resources to ensure long-term maintenance of infrastructure. The Great Lakes area of the US/Canada fits this pretty well

Do they not still test the blood for HIV regardless of how “high risk” the donor is? You should be tested immediately prior to donation and the donation rejected if you test positive, this is a fuck-up on whoever took the blood. Also, prisoners??? Why in the fuck are we paying prisoners for their blood? Every private prison company should be nationalized and have its leaders tried for their crimes istg.
