Building a compost sensor. Transmits over LoRa.

At least they weren't leaking...

Timelapse from the rocket burn yesterday. I intended to record the entire burn and cooldown but the camera video file stops after about an hour. Oh well, the camera should have been higher up to show the top of the bench anyways. Next time! The modification does seem to even out the heating of the bench. I had a little trouble with smoke when loading too much fuel in the feed tube, which never happened before. It would make sense that it's not drawing air in as strongly with the longer route for the flue gases to travel. The chimney itself is also about 2 feet shorter after upgrading it to stainless steel. #permies #rocketstove #grownostr View quoted note →

Testing out a modification to the rocket bench. I added an elbow to the chimney intake and extended it horizontally to the end of the bench. This should help distribute the heat more evenly in the bench, and might allow extending the bench length later. #permies #rocketstove

gm frens, StablityAI released weights for SD3 Medium today. Initial results appear to have the same "safety" censorship-related problems as previous base models (mangled hands and bad anatomy), and the licensing is unclear for commercial use which makes open finetunes at a larger scale (eg Pony) unlikely. At least we'll always have SD1.5 and SDXL. (Photon SD1.5 and AnimateDiff)

Where is Galt's Gulch? I'm ready to quit.

gm frens, added my bitcoin space heater to #homeassistant so i can mine even harder

Happy mushrooms, happy compost.

Remember to provide a source of water in your garden. Birds use this old satellite dish as a bath, but it also helps attract and retain beneficial insects. The dirty water is full of nutrients and gets dumped out by my rig tree. #permies #gardening

First proper compost pile of the season, 14 hours after the second turn. #compost #permies
