Which version of Linux Mint do you like and why?
Privacy is top priority. But I also need reliability. This will be on my main work desktop for creative projects. I am currently using Libre Office, Audacity, and Photoshop (an old 2015 version installed from CD) in Windows. No gaming.
Side note: Also looking for a photo editor similar to Photoshop that does not require a subscription. Just for basic color correction and touch-up of images with paint brush, eraser, clone tool, etc. Adding text occasionally. I am not a huge fan of Gimp, but maybe I just need to customize it?

Great book. I highly recommend! Snow Crash is next on my list.

We found a bird nest in the window box of our chicken coop. Can you see it?

I've been playing around with substack. It's free. It is kinda like a blog, but every entry gets emailed to your subscribers. I'm just not sure if you can import an existing list, or if they have to go and subscribe themselves.

Just got my seed order from the Dwarf Tomato Project. Can't wait to plant them! https://victoryseeds.com/collections/dwarf-tomato-project
I don't know if this is just a Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon or if dwarf tomatoes are extra popular this year, but I have been hearing about them everywhere recently.
They are part of the Open Source Seed Initiative.

Our breeders are like pets to us. They have names and will live long happy lives. We just eat the offspring, and those don't get names 😉

For now, the pelts are just in the freezer. That is a project for another day!!! I also forgot to mention I have a bunch of rabbits' feet curing in alcohol now, too. We have also dehydrated the ears for dog treats in the past. I wasn't thinking about that this time.

For making rabbit sausage, the meat is so lean I like to add about 20% pork fat, leaf fat preferably. And the seasoning was an organic mix I found online. I just followed the instructions for how much to add. I think it was 4oz of seasoning for 10lbs of sausage.

2023-04-27 02:31:11

Why do we raise rabbits? They are relatively easy to care for, don't make any noise, don't smell if properly housed, and they are easy to harvest for food. They could even be grown in a suburban backyard. Grazing only requires a sunny spot of grass about 20ft x 40ft.
Our most recent litter of 6 rabbits gave us 10 lbs of sausage, 4 quarts of bone broth, 6 pelts, and 50+ lbs of fertilizer for the garden.
Time Requirement:
30 days gestation
40 days with their mom
50 days on grass
= 120 days total
(I spent about 15 min a day on animal care plus 2 hours of butchering and another 4-6 hours deboning, grinding, and packaging.)
Inputs:
$40 for 40lbs of organic soy-free rabbit pellets $45 for 100lb bale of Timothy hay
$20 for 15 lbs of organic hard red wheat and a few lbs of clover to spread on the pasture
$10 for ice on butcher day
$17 for sausage casing
$5 for 2 lbs pasture raised pork
$5 for organic seasoning
$8 for vacuum seal bags
= $150 total, not including my time or existing infrastructure like cages, water bottles, and breeder rabbits.

OK. Thanks for trying.
I've had my node running for a while, I got the bitcoin part set up and just never opened any lightning channels. I have custodial lightning wallets on my phone, but I've always wanted to get my wallets connected to my own node. Nostr is the push I needed to sit down and figure it out. Plus BTC Sessions just came out with a new video about it this week. So that helps 😃

Hey Joshua, will you try sending me a zap now? I've been working on setting up my lightning node all day. I was able to open some channels (yay!) but not sure if I've got it connected to Nostr correctly. Thanks!!

I'm working on it! Trying to link to my own MyNode. Any advice?

Hello nostr! Just figuring out how to share images on here. This my tiny little homestead where we have chickens, rabbits, bees, fruit trees, and a garden. What are you growing?

I did try Magic Earth for a while but it didn't do what I needed. Or, at least in my area, it did not have enough info about certain places. If I know where I'm going, I can use a paper map to get there. But if I want to know where the closest XYZ restaurant or store is because I'm away from home and someone says "Let's meet at XYZ" In that case, I turn on GPS, get directions in a browser, and then turn it off.

I turn on Google services (normally off in Graphene) to use Muun wallet occasionally.
I turn on GPS every once in a while when I need to get directions quickly and don't have time to use my paper maps.
I keep WiFi and Bluetooth off 99% of the time, unless I need to use it for a very specific reason. Then I turn it off again as soon as I am finished.
