Didn't try, but could work

I had some very good experience with lady bugs against aphids. So I was looking for something like that and found a "caterpillar fly" (direct translation, not sure if this is correct. Scientific name: Trichopoda pictipennis)

Maybe I could set them out in my balcony garden. But as it's not a real garden, but only a few larger flower boxes, I'm afraid they won't make it long with an active infestation.

But I also haven't found a shop for them yet and don't know, if they can be applied like lady bugs.
Can't stress enough how well that worked against aphids - and I really like them :⁠-⁠)
With a little "bug hotel" they also came back and tried to settle. But sadly our apartment block had the balconies renovated and I needed to move the hotel and now need to start fresh...

Thanks!
Checked them already after skull givers answer, but haven't found anything - maybe they already all hatched now...

This season is already fucked and gone. So I'm currently looking into ways to prevent this next year.

I've read that spraying peppermint helps to keep them away. But we got a bit really wanted mint plant this year, which sits just 25-50cm away from the tomatoes.
Either it's a different mint and only peppermint works, or the plant alone just isn't enough...

Correctly it would be 'Holz' and not 'Holtz'
The latter I've heard as a family name sometimes. But you're probably right, that it historically referenced 'Holz'

Edit: only found a German page about the origins of the name, and yes, it is very probably coming from forest, woodland, wood

Ah, I think you're right!
We are having an infestation this year of those fuckers, but I've only seen the adult ones until now.

Thank you very much!
Those have become a pest here.

If someone knows how to keep them away, it would be very much appreciated.

Edit: the only thing I've found was manual removing them or spraying them with vinegar and soap water. I've now freed my 3 poor plants of them manually (into a bag with vinegar, soap and hot water)
At least now I know, why all our tomatoes this year started to rot with some mold infection

Have never seen those bugs before. A whole bunch of them on our only tomato surviver this year.

This is in Austria, if that helps.

Thanks!!

Stell ich mir auch für die Kinder ungut vor, spätestens wenn sie in die Pubertät kommen und mehr Privatsphäre wollen

Sometimes I work on a larger project that is split up in different sub projects, that were sold separately and are maybe paid by different departments. So I need to at least spilt those up.
Also it's often easier to follow what exactly was done, when I differentiate more between my tasks and not just put a collective line there - just like small commits are more helpful than one large one.

But maybe I understood you wrong...?

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 week ago

Because you can't easily borrow it your friend or bring it with you to a game night?

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago

Not OP, but can only speak from my experience: Installing a second WM/DE usually messes up my install, as quite some stuff is just from one GUI framework, so I don't have to have to much stuff installed.
Also getting rid of it afterwards always wasn't as easily possible.

I completely get trying out a WM y firing up a VM. You could even just boot the live USB stick to check it out.
But changing my working install just to try something (and then have to clean it up again) wasn't working out for me in the past

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 weeks ago

Well hopefully, they deserve it at least just as much, for most of the them more, than the rest of us

Link has a "whttps" in there, that shouldn't be there

Signal doesn't provide such open and easily found chat rooms.
It's really much more a messenger (with group chats, but those you have to manually set up)

So it's not an "open" place like telegram and with that not as attractive for advertising illicit services or products.

besides that, Signal is the technically much more secure variant. No discussion about it.

I'm not a fucking communist, you stupid bigot

 

it seems, when there is a load issue for the comments of a post, I'm just getting shown the comments of the previously opened post.

Which is pretty confusing ;⁠-⁠)

anyone else or is it just me?

hi all!

I do see the correct amount of posts in the overview, but the posts screen itself is empty.

not sure if this is a Jerboa issue or one of the Sopuli instance

thanks!

edit: thanks to burgersc12 & jcreazy I tried toggling the "Show read posts" option and although it was originally activated, after reactivating I can now see me own posts again :⁠-⁠D
so, problem solved - but the behaviour was still very strange

well, ironically I try to solve this with creating a post. but also my profile shows, that I never created any posts. not sure if this is a Sopuli issue :⁠-⁠\

is it just me?

edit: ok, at least at Sopuli/local it's working. strange thing

 

not sure if this will be a double post - somehow my first try didn't show up

 

sounds a bit stupid, but since the last update I do get answers to my comments in my messages, but I can't directly answer them, or I don't find the correct button for that

now I go to to the original thread, search for my comment, scroll through the answers, pick the one I wanted to reply to and then I can answer

I'm not sure, if I'm just to bind/stupid, but earlier I somehow had that option - IIRC

can anyone tell me, if I do something wrong here?

hi all!

this is kinda a test post/help request/bug report

I tried to post an image to cats@midwest.social, which is then uploaded to the local instance (sopuli). link itself is working, but the preview/thumbnail in the post isn't showing up and the image isn't accessible that way.

I tried through Jerboa and now through the web frontend, but no luck either.

posts:
https://sopuli.xyz/post/638272
https://sopuli.xyz/post/638296

so, I'll try to post another picture of Loki to try if it's because of the remote instance or whatever is happening.

if anyone has an idea... I'm running out of them

edit: ok, at least for me the image doesn't show either. is this just me or anyone else having the same issue?

edit 2: I've made a successful test of an image post, that wasn't created with my Pixel 7 Pro and that one shows without issue
https://sopuli.xyz/post/639940
I guess, I'm hitting a limit somewhere or maybe some meta data causes a hiccup. size wise the images aren't really big (1.5MB, 1.8MB). so, not really sure what the issue could be

edit 3: well, I've tried 'Scrambled EXIF' and 'Exif Eraser' and at least that didn't change a thing. when I let the image through Signal, where AFAIK EXIF data gets removed and also done compression is done, I can post the image.

edit 4: to verify it's the file size, I tried now with a downloaded hd picture (3.5MB) and that one doesn't show either. here is the test post: https://sopuli.xyz/post/640216
maybe it's not even a limit on the file size, but a transmission timeout?

I think this is currently the end of my testing, as I can't think of much more test cases.

edit 5: nope, large picture just took more time and shows correctly bitte. must be something with the Pixel 7 Pro

 

I'm more or less just posting again to check, if the image shows up this time. but enjoy another picture of Loki :⁠-⁠)

Hi all!

I tried to attach a image directly to a post, but although the link seems to ok (at least it works inside the comment body as a link), it isn't loaded or shown in the thumbnail

said post:
https://sopuli.xyz/post/638272

did I do something wrong or is anyone else having similar problems?

thanks!

As the image isn't loaded correctly in the preview/thumbnail, I'll at least put it here in the body

I always love, when he makes his little "rabbit paw pose :⁠-⁠)

edit: seems the image isn't loading? :⁠-⁠\
first time trying to post to another instance, with an image uploaded to my local one. I'll give it some more time...
link to the original picture
it seems the image itself got uploaded correctly

hi all!

first off, sorry, I'm completely new with Jerboa (and also Lemmy). but sometimes it seems I can't directly open links in posts.

the upper post has this issue (I can still copy the link, but there is no way to directly open it), the lower post in the screenshot has the link functioning.

am I missing something?

thanks for any suggestions!

edit: it seems sometimes the thumbnail isn't loaded correctly. so just "clicking" into the empty dark space on the right opens the link.

at least for me that has worked now in every case. (sorry for also posting a comment with the same content, mis-clicked and I let it stay, if someone only checks new comments or something)

edit 2: I think this is a Lemmy, and not Jerboa, bug, because I think this two are the same:
https://sopuli.xyz/post/638306
seems some images aren't processed correctly, when it's an image post. all my Pixsl 7 Pro photos aren't working, but are shown without problems, when inserted in the post body or a comment
