Linux distros for noobs with old machines . . . I can reccomend Linux MINT---the Xfce version. It is lightweight and takes the guesswork out of some things like package installs and definitely driver software stuffs. Everything I have needed so far has worked--GUI and Terminalé. I have not enjoyed Ubuntu (feels shitcoiney) or Pop! OS (too slow for old machine). Zorin was okay but not enough support for le confusions that were encountered. The Cinnamon version of MINT just didn't work well for what I needed and crashed a lot, so I cannot reccoment that. Lol. Will stick with MINT xfce for a while now, unless I hit any fences... Lolol.

Lovely feather patterns coming through. Precious little babes. 🐤🐥🐥♥️🐛🐥🌾 #grownostr #homestead #poultry #birds #japanese

10 days old. First night on grass and soil! 🐥♥️🌾🐜 Warms my heart to see them bathe in dust three seconds after their first ever encounter with dust. Loool. So great to have them on something more interesting than paper toweling/rubber matting. Larger brooder now. Also a larger lamp (120W up from 100W)—but positioned further away. --> Another .3°C wiped off le thermostat today. 😶‍🌫️ #poultry #pet #egg #child #feathers #quail

Day 8. Much health. #japanese #quail Will drop their fat and up le protein a little today. Currently dehydrating tuna with electricity to add in to their feed, just like nature intended . . . Looool. ♥️ They currently seem to be enjoying 31.3°C/88.34°F. Dropping .3°C/.5°F per day. #food #fren #babies #eggs #homestead #permies #coturnix

Jar in le middle is a splay-leg training station. Have just dropped le temp from 35°C to 33.3°C ~55.55 hours in on average hatch. #birds #eggs #foodstr #homestead #grownostr

Last Sugar Baby for the season. ♥️ This basically grew in sand but next season will involve more weird organic matter and much moore diverse microbiota. #buildingsoil South Hem Advices: Plant extra wombums if you are in le Northern Hem right meow.

Hour 42: the zoomie-plerps begin! Our tiny precious turd machines. ♥️ #plantfood Might drop the temp today, although there is still one wee flen in the 'bator who would probably prefer to first encounter 35°C/95°C in the brooder. Most are rather well. 20 have hatched and live. #quail #homesteading #gardening #cutestr #baby #permaculture #selfreliance #fren #chick #gardenstr

We just planted heaps of peas, broccies, brussies, onions, raddies, and cazzas (3 different kinds of carrot) ether side of this dreamy duo. Exciting. Most of our chillies have now been shut down for winter but these two are still happy so we will be more hands-off (less choppie choppie) for a wee while meow. #gardening #plantstr #grow #foodstr

Zero day attack? Nope... Day zero cuteness attack! These are coturnix quail who have only hatched in the last day or so. There are stones in their water so they do not drown. They are eating a 24.5% protein and 5% fat feed (heavy on the meal worms as they were what we had initial access to.) We will introduce some more fish meal I think, to get protein, DHA, and EPA higher. These chickies are mainly for manure and eggs, so the typically prescribed 28-30% protein level might not be as necessary as it would be if they were for meat only... Still thinking about it anyway. The thermostat is cruising at 95°F/35°C. Will probably drop it 1.69° per day starting tomorrow. #homestead #poultry #cute #gardening #petstr #foodstr

Adolescent peyote/ Lophophora williamsii looking rather plump after their last watering and nutritional supplementations before winter. #gardenstr #cactus #grownostr We will keep these dry now until spring has sprung in a few months or so, otherwise fungus gnats might find an opportunity to rip through them in a heartbeat, which would be sub-optimal. #permaculture #psychedelic #wisdom
