Its #raining here- started over night, still going near 1pm, +a bit yesterday afternoon. Very welcome, we weren't as dry as many places, we've had #rain already this #spring and snow not that long ago, but wetlands have been weirdly dry as our Winter #snow melt was modest and all soaked in quickly. The mesic + upland soils are in decent shape from rain, but wetlands have a hard time catching up if snowmelt is inadequate. photo details in alt

I love your rock garden. I don’t like the sound of dry wetlands so here’s hoping a lot more rain comes your way.
Weather wise the allotments missed out on the thunderstorm rains which fell just a few miles away. We got a brief heavy shower that was enough to wet the ground but not enough to put much in the water butts.

Coca-Cola has a new AI-powered ad that proudly features a quote from a J.G. Ballard book — except he didn't write the words, and it's not his book. @404mediaco explains what happened — and the irony of using Ballard's words in a commercial built with technology. "The ultimate role of 'Crash' is cautionary, a warning against that brutal, erotic and overlit realm that beckons more and more persuasively to us from the margins of the technological landscape,” Ballard wrote in his 1995 introduction to his most famous work.

When spacecraft are constructed, they're assembled in special cleanrooms that are engineered to have extremely low levels of dust and microbes. Now, researchers have found that specific types of extremophiles have evolved to thrive in environments designed to remove all their competitors. They examined space agency cleanrooms and found 26 novel bacterial species, with specific features that let them handle decontamination and radiation.

The image features a digital interface with a light beige background. In the center, there is a white box with a yellow border, containing a list of four numbered points under the heading "Custom Content." The points are:
- "Poll the Audience: Include a quick poll or quiz: 'Which vibe are you looking for—party, peace, or unique stays? Comment below, and I'll help you pick your dream hostel!'"
- "Interactive Challenge: Start a fun challenge like 'Share Your Best Hostel Hack' and highlight the best responses in a future video or social post."
- "Secret Tip Reward: Say, 'If you've stayed till the end, comment 'Travel Secret' below, and I'll share a hidden gem or budget hack just for you!'"
- "Interactive Travel Map: Ask them to comment their favorite locations, and use those suggestions to build a crowd-sourced list of top-rated hostels."
Below the list, there are two buttons: "Apply revision" and "Reject." To the right of the list, there are two smaller images. The top image is labeled "Audience Poll" and shows a group of people holding smartphones. The bottom image is labeled "Secret tips" and depicts a person relaxing in an infinity pool.

A Fedi instance, #Mastodon, these things are free. Meaning there is no cost to use them. This does not mean there is no cost to run them.
I think we always knew that data servers needed to be maintained, & need electricity. But twitter & FB having always been free to use, made us not think about those costs.
On the #Fediverse, those costs are spread out. But still there. Donations have been making the Fedi what it is for years. So please think about giving to your server & its software.

"She said the speed limit would not be reduced. "It's an arterial road," Ms Cheyne said. "The speed limit is contributing to how much traffic needs to pass through there.""
I find it concerning that people that make decisions about road speed limits don't know that traffic speed doesn't change traffic throughput.

The #vesync integration in #homeassistant keeps deauthenticating every few days. All the entities becomes unavailable and my family cannot use it until I go to the settings and reauthenticate it. This is very inconvenient.
Is there a way to write an #automation that re-enters automatically the credentials? I searched for some entity that represents the vesync credentials, but couldn't find anything...
