So long Hawai’i, good to be back home Then I get a message to debug grandmas Linux computer 🤪 #photos #snorkel #linux

Before I see my father in law I have to brew a traditional Korean rice wine called 막걸리 (makgeolli). I practice a bit throughout the year, but the final brew is the important one. This time I made on of the batches with 50% black rice, or 흑미. Also known as emperor’s rice or forbidden rice. It turns the drink this pink color… The smell is a little weird as it ferments, but the end result is delicious and a bit Smokey. Hopefully 아버님 likes it! #korea #korean #brewing #wine #grownostr

Harvested these black kings more at the proper time. These ones look a lot better, except for maybe less great for grilling. 1.3kg for the first block I harvested #mushstr #grownostr #dogstr

Doing some lab work with new prototype induction sterilizer

There are 402 clients connected to my relay I made for myself! https://bostr.lightningspore.com/ No wonder I cant boot my system up anymore with 2GB of ram #devstr #whatstr

Taking the ski train to Winter Park. Great views, awesome spring skiing, no traffic! #grownostr #colorado #ski #train #cantstopthistrain

Black King Oyster harvest today. Some stats about this harvest: I spawned 1lb of colonized grain to 10 lb bags of sawdust/soy hull gourmet substrate (thanks @Foxfire Mushrooms for supplying!) on 02/19/2025. That means it took 37 days for these. Probably half of that time it was colonizing, half it was in the fruiting tent. After pulling the mushrooms off of the block the total weight was: 4.716kg I trimmed up these mushrooms to remove less desirable parts: Good looking mushrooms: 3.506kg Compost pieces: 1.21kg So about 75% yield there. Which could definitely be improved by me harvesting at a better time, and maintaining better environmental conditions. There is something in mushroom growing called "biological efficiency" (BE) which tells you how well you did. Each species of mushrooms has a range of acceptable values here. Biological Efficiency = (Fresh Mushroom Weight / Dry Substrate Weight) × 100% Biological Efficiency -> (3.506 kg / 5.443 kg) × 100% Biological Efficiency = 64.4% I did the calculations based on a couple of difference dry substrate weights, which gave me a BE of 48.3% to 77.3%. This is lower than the ideal (100-150%), but also my execution wasn't really ideal either. Its good to get this all written down so that next time around I have a goal to beat! https://learn.freshcap.com/growing/mushroom-yield-and-biological-efficiency/ #mushrooms #mushstr #grownostr #science #math

Litter robot geared DC motor. Had to buy a new one bc it kept “overcurrent” tripping in the device. Seems fine to me. #catstr #electronics #grownostr
