Guessing no meaningful difference, but I'm curious how the IP would compare to a regular pressure cooker on an induction pad.

Pressure cookers seem pretty efficient and fairly versatile.

If safer is a realistic outcome, perhaps things would further evolve. Ride share cars today are dual-use vehicles that typically carry driver + no passenger or driver + one passenger with the capacity for 3-5. If future autonomous ride share cars turn out to be dedicated to ride share, maybe most would end up being 3-wheel with just one or two seats. Shrinking the size of a substantial potion of cars on urban roads could be beneficial to road safety, power/carbon intensity, road capacity/density (which could also lead to more equitable road use for bikes and pedestrians).

I would consider voting for a 3rd party that abandons twitter and back ups their claims with credible sources.

ShieldsUP is fine. Also check out: https://www.routersecurity.org/testrouter.php

You could also just port scan yourself with something like nmap.

I use rclone to mount the Linux NAS from my Linux and Windows computers - SFTP backend is usually fine. Then I am uniformly reading/writing the NAS files as the local NAS user.

I feel that /r/programming lost a lot of volume and intensity following the API protest drama. This community seemed like a beneficiary. Even anecdotally though, I sit in a couple of language discord servers and engagement seems lower than it was a couple of years ago.

Even just watching other open source projects go through it is demoralizing to me, and I'm not a contributor.

Also attributed to burnout.

Apple has turned out to “prevent the chrome monopoly” far more effectively then firefox has.

Turns out that owning the platform (Android, iOS) counts for a lot. I like having an independent option.

Technically true, but FOSS isn't "free" in the sense that someone is contributing labor to build and maintain the software. Free to use, but not free to make. I personally wouldn't expect or shame a person for using FOSS without contributing. But if you make a profitable business off a FOSS project, it seems reasonable to expect some form of contribution back to the project - not because it is technically required, but because who better to sponsor a project than someone profiting from it?

 

I have t-posts and string. In the past, I've generally hung welded wire on the t-posts and supported the tomato stem and heavy branches on the fencing. But I'm out of welded wire and don't really want to drop money on a new roll. I could try something new and florida weave each row together between the t-posts.

What would you do? Any experience with the weave to support growing tomato plants?

 

It's springtime and moving beyond last frost dates in the northern parts of the U.S. Garden centers are humming, bees are buzzing. Birds are nesting in my hanging planters.

I planted out 25 tomato seedlings last weekend - what are you growing?
