*Linux is like Ice Cream* ❤️

optoutproject.net/linux-is-lik

Like ice cream, the #Linux operating system 🐧 comes in different flavors.

Imagine you'd never tried ice cream before, wondering -- Do I go for Vanilla, Strawberry or Chocolate?

Yes, the afficionados have their own crazy flavor combinations 🍨 and are proud of them. But you don't have to do that. You can just start with #Vanilla or #Chocolate and that is fine. 🍦

Our grandson has convinced me to abandon Conquest for Actions And Stuff plus Better On Bedrock. He likes Vanilla Minecraft or possibly Mint Chocolate Chip MC while I like a Rocky Road version. Removing Conquest did eliminate my glitchy pigs.

I'm telling y'all, it's important to just hang out with the plants in the garden and look at them.

I was just spending time with the vanilla vine whose flowers I've been attempting to pollinate, feeling bad that the pollinations seemed to not have stuck. I was looking at the withered flowers wondering if they would fatten up or what? (because some of the flowers fell off, but some withered and stayed on the plant.) when I realized that some of the withered flowers were actually attached to green tubes! 😱

So in pic 1 below, here's what's happening:

It's an inflorescence (I think that's the word) where flowers come in one or two at a time. So the bud at the left and top have not yet opened. On the right behind my hand is a flower that I recently pollinated and that's withering. Most of the yellow-green "sticks" are places where flowers used to be, but have fallen off. Then at the bottom, you see three pods that look like fresh green beans, and I believe these are pods that have gotten pollinated and are growing! The pod in the middle still has a dried flower at the bottom.

Once I realized what I was looking at, I realized there were a bunch of other pods on the plant (see pic 2).

So I looked up when they should be harvested and it turns out they get harvested before they dry on the vine: vanillery.com/ripe-green-vanil

The pods are so sneaky! They totally look like the rest of the vine, so a dumb predator (like me) wouldn't notice they were there, allowing the pod to mature and release its thousands of tiny seeds. Such a smart plant.

So yay! If I hadn't just been spacing out, standing in the garden, looking at the plant, I might not have ever noticed 😱

Continued thread

Also, it looks like this plant is getting some new growth, branching new vines off the main one. Which is great!

It seems to like this spot, growing all over a bush. It has access to sun on the outside of the bush (which is where the flowers are), but shade inside the bush for the lower parts of the vine.

Looks like this vanilla vine might be flowering soon. This is exciting because it's almost in reach and I will try to hand pollinate. Every other time I've seen vanilla flower, the flowers have been 30 feet up in a tree 🤷

Time to watch some videos on hand pollinating vanilla.

#Vanilla Bean #Cheesecake with a top layer of whipped sour cream on a #chocolate (gluten free) crust. Topped with a simple fresh #strawberry topping.

Made this variant instead of the large version because I need company over to actually eat the large one before it spoils. This one I can eat in time with some help from nesting partner(s)

Some bonus pictures included.

@FibroJedi it's actually not a #client thing, but a #server thing.

Which is a shame, but then again they refuse to acknowledge problems and instead stonewall users with their nonchalant #TechBro attitude...

So far, GlitchSoc allows way #over9000 characters (AFAICT it's 11.000 on infosec.space & infosec.exchange), and AFAICT it does account for everything - so there's that.

  • But then again Markdown is sleek and efficient as a format so it's not as if you'd be writing #HTML directly and needing all the <h6>blabla</h6> nonsense...

So yeah, I use the "Advanced UI" aka. "Deck" version of the #Web - Interface which is like #TweetDeck but for Mastodon/GlitchSoc and @Tusky / #Tusky on mobile but I do type that stuff like a markdown file by hand...
