That’s so cool! Such an amazing resource. I wish more library’s did that.

Yeah as with everything the idea more nuanced then it’s slogan, “NoLawns!”. I appreciate the NoLawns sentiment and simplicity of the slogan (for lack of a better word). I can see that maybe “Less Lawns, More Native Plants” isn’t quite as catchy. :P

Looks interesting. I just gave it a spin. I’ve been mostly using Cheogram on Android.

Yeah it’s definitely a process. I’ve been trying to expand all the places I have natives and plant more. Also I keep expanding our garden. But I’ve 1.5acres that was “lawn” when I started, so still lots of mowing for now.

I use my OG pixel phone plus syncthing for unlimited photo and video backup on Google photos. Think I’m going to move away from this soon though, trying to slowly get away from Google.

First those nasturtiums are beautiful!!

I’d would be curious how others feel, but for me #nolawns is a long term goal or process and a part of that process is actually mowing.

I tried stopping mowing and I loved all the different flowers and grasses that grew. But we were quickly over run by a rat sized vole that loved the habitat. Then I also noticed I wasn’t keeping up with topping or pulling all the different plants that I didn’t want propagating (thistles and other invasives).

Anyway I think having lawn is on my path to nolawn. I can onnly take on so much space at a time, so I just keep converting areas to no lawn areas and I continue to mow the rest.

Yeah that HAT looks pretty sweet, haven’t found a place to buy it though.

Power supply of those 3.5" discs will be the main problem, as you can’t do that over USB.

Yeah I would have to come up with some other way to power the drives, the OWC enclosure has a power supply, but not sure I could harvest what I need. I’m going to have to open it up and see how useful it might be.

Another thought is this m.2 to sata adapter that I could put in the NUC5. I would still have to figure out power though.

thanks, yeah I’ve been looking into the ROCK Pi Dual/Quad SATA HAT but it doesn’t seem super available in the US. I’d also have to buy a raspberry pi. Could be worth it though

that has been my general experience as well.

seems like people often want to debate a vegan. I’m not sure if it vegans that really feel the need to debate their food choices.

I do think vegans tend to want to analyze and think critically about their food/life choices. So that way they might lean towards debating or at least being willing to debate.
