I think the best garden purchase we made last year was this soil blocker. They are kind of expensive but since it is stainless steel, one and done. It eliminates using the thin individual little plastic things that break down and die in a couple of years then end up in the garden soil and in the landfill. I got these heavy duty trays to put them in, so they can be bottom watered. They should last a good many years. After the trays are done, by then we should have the wood shop built and I can make wooden trays to hold the soil blocks. These are the cabbages I have started in the greenhouse. It will be so easy to just pop them into the garden when they are big enough. I'm impressed by how well the blocks stand up to being sprinkle watered from the top. I used a bale of Pro Mix BX general purpose growing medium for the soil. It holds shape really well. Eventually, I will have to use homemade compost mix but for now this works great.

@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill @tomiahonen yes, and to add insult to injury #Mozilla didn't even wanted to sell people like @fuchsiii or me a #FirefoxOS device, with the only one being "launched" in the #EU being a #SimLock'd & #NetLock'd #prepaid phone in #Spain one could only attain in-store with all the "#KYC" nonsense they had, demanding a legal address in Spain back then.

And #nerds like myself are far from the "#consoomer #Normies" for whom stuff that isn't on shelves at Staturn/MediaMarkt, BestBuy, Walmart, ... doesn't exist. I'm used to importing #tech that I want!

14 Ways to Quickly Improve Your Photography fro, Digital Photography School [Shared]

Feeling like your photography skills have plateaued? It happens to the best of us. One minute, you’re cruising along, picking up new techniques and elevating your sense of composition and light like a boss – and the next, you’ve hit a creative wall.

But don’t worry! While there’s no single magic bullet for improving your photography, I do have plenty of techniques and exercises that are designed to help you level up your skills, and that’s what I share in this article.

Note that different techniques will work better for different shooters, so if you don’t like a method, just skip it and move on. With any luck, you’ll find an approach that works for you, and you’ll be able to develop that creative eye once again.

The project management tool Height.app is shutting down, which is a real bummer - our company was one of the early adopters and we have used it for years. Height had one of the best designs I've ever seen, and I had high hopes for it.

This is a reminder that any service can be shut down at any moment, with no safeguards in place. It's also a reminder of the power of open source.

I have a lot of requirements for a project management tool - most notably a solid API, linkable tasks with task IDs, and a good user interface. After this experience, I'd prefer something open source. Maybe Plane.so, looks very similar to Height.app?

Any solid alternatives to tools like Jira, ClickUp, Height, or Favro? I'm open to suggestions.

In den letzten Tagen denke ich häufiger an ein Schreibprojekt und überlege, wie ich es umsetzen kann.

Arbeitstitel: Der Magische Moselführer.
Ein Reiseführer über magische Orte und Personen an der #Mosel. Die Idee eignet sich gut als Spielhilfe für ein Urban Fantasy #pnpde

Aber wie immer frage ich mich, welche #Tools ich nutzen soll, vor allem wenn ich später ein schönes Design haben möchte.

Habt ihr Ideen? Was nutzt ihr?

Der neue Social Media Kanal ist gestartet und ich suche gute #Tools zur Analyse und Auswertung der Aktivitäten. Gibt es sowas für #Mastodon? Gibt es einen Planner, mit dem man mehr als 500 Zeichen posten kann?

Mastometrics würde ich für die Analytics nutzen. Aber ein planning Tool habe ich noch nicht so richtig gefunden :( Kann wer helfen?
