I grew these mushrooms in a cloth grow bag using only wood chips as the substrate. I thought that they would fruit in the top, but instead they actually fruited through the fabric in the bottom.
They struggled a bit due to the low humidity indoors, but I spray them with water several times a day, so I will be able to harvest something.
@MCDuncanLab cool! Plastic bag is the way to go. I was trying to grow these without plastic but it's hard. These are a white oyster variety I got from a local grower. I already had one batch from a pot, and they were quite tasty! Blue oyster is next...
Excellent harvest! The growth direction may seem weird, but fungi mycelia are pretty much of tridimensional growth (if you have ever seen a mold snow-ball in a liquid you can get the idea), so they will probably have grown towards the zone they detected was closer to circulating air (AFAIK, fungi do not have a lot of gravi- or phototropism).
the process of creating those notes probably already help a lot to remember stuff without even looking at them. Writing stuff on paper also writes the stuff into the brain somehow.
So... interesting timing. This is exactly what my next essay is about, to be published on my site next week titled "Into the Dark Wood: The Right to Be Unknown." I've been refining it the last few days, preparing to publish it. I think you'll appreciate it.
I just want to say thank you to the Americans on here who have evidently made a concerted effort to start putting an F to specify when they are talking about Fahrenheit degrees.
I can't imagine what prompted the recent shift, but it makes a difference, it's clearer and respectful to the rest of the world, and I for one have noticed the change.

it's so very weird to have the monopolist platform being the one pushing for Linux, not visibly falling for the bubble and even requiring full transparency on AI use from publishers, while the smaller platform that relies on fans and personality to differentiate itself going all in on the hype
lots of people angry about the "non comment" but I think it's a good sign.
They can't just throw a guy under the bus and call it a day on a Friday afternoon. There is a lot of conversations that need to happen internally. I'd prefer it if they said something like "oopsie, this should never have happened", sure. But the goal here seems to precisely communicate that those conversations are going to happen next week.

This year I'll be at #FOSDEM26 too. I'll be at the #Mastodon stand selling you pins and stickers. Please drop by, say hi, and buy our stuff, I don't want to have to carry it back.

NewPipe, for accomplishing the unenviable task of bypassing YouTube's many blocks. Similar credit to yt-dlp with its additional mass archival uses and numerous configuration possibilities.

Took the #Plushtodon for coffee and to the Press Room this week. 💜🇪🇺 (Almost) Every day at 12:00 accredited journalists can ask the European Commission questions. The whole thing gets streamed live on the website, you can watch it here: audiovisual.ec.europa.eu/en/me…
Wow so while I was explaining how I got into the fediverse to @hongminhee and @2chanhaeng the tv in this cafe started talking about @peertube on #France24
"Le but est de ne pas tout faire d’un coup. "Par exemple, dans un premier temps, on va montrer la suite LibreOffice qui peut remplacer les solutions de Microsoft. Puis le mois suivant on va parler de Mastodon au lieu de X ou de Proton plutôt que Gmail", précise ce vétéran de l’autonomie numérique." via france24.com/fr/%C3%A9co-tech/…
En tous cas! Auf jeden Fall! For shure! The french President is so pissed of everything that comes from the greatest country asshole (GröFatZ), that he and the hole country is ready and willing to get independant again.
The France knows something that you and I do not know. They are spying on us by Teams. Therefore they abandonned Teams. The rest of the EU should follow.
Nice to know. France delivers 75% of the military information to Ukraine and the US less than 25% now. The balance is shifting.
Someone with a quarter century research experience in industrial computing and electronics confirms that LibreOffice is still unusable in practice. This applies to technical & scientific report writing as well as office work.
Not only are new employees unfamiliar with it, but also design faults in the specifications are known & discussed on bug reporting platforms. I won't try to list them, but a review is urgently needed with assessment of possible outside 'interference'.
Must not forget the VBA ecosystem coupled to Excel, which allowed me to get work done during the 2 or 3 years it took for corporate IT to refuse my development submissions.
The Open Gaming Collective (OGC) was an interesting announcement recently from a few bigger names, but the CachyOS team opted out of it and now we know why.
I appreciate the no-frills coverage btw, thanks. No sensationalist headline, just the news and a recap of the necessary context. Keep up the great work!
Following the immense success of the Stop Destroying Videogames initiative, it's set to get an official reply and public hearing in the European Parliament.
We need to save our software and archive it for future generations!
(And so that those fuckers can't retro-actively patch an offline game to be online only after ten years of release. Fuck Ubisoft for soft locking my copy of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.)
it's not an "org" it's a corporation placed in Germany to munch on EU taxpayers money while advancing the long project of Pottering to enclosure whatever was left from Linux that Linus didn't already sold to corporate control
The GDC 2026 State of the Game Industry report is out with "over 2,300" professionals in the industry surveyed, and here's some of the highlights from it.
I suppose these reports are related to assets (textures, sounds, music, models). If we count also people using it for code, I suspect that the AI usage would unfortunately spike.
I was reading it, but thanks for taking the trouble of pointing it out. Weird data in there... for example I find difficult believing there's more people working to optimize for Steam Deck than for Switch or Switch 2.
Still hard at work on content for the Steam page 😅
Spent this week working on code mechanics and making cats for the demo. Almost done with the models, just 2.5 left to go
Can't show the full cast yet, but here are two fluffy freelancers based on concepts by a follower. They are working hard.. or at least pretending to, just like real cats 🐱💻

An image from some of Scotland's most remote mountains. It's no small feat to get out here, but it's worth it every time.
Made last year when me and Benjamin Maze took a group of awesome clients hiking and wild camping here; we were treated to all manner of brilliant conditions from hail to blue skies. (Join us in September 2026 for the second iteration of our Northwest Highlands photography adventure!)

If Linux outlives Torvalds, and I believe that it will, that will be proof that it's not actually based on one guy's preferences. That it's genuinely, sincerely a *community* project.
I want Linux to live a good long time, but I will literally sleep better knowing that there's a plan in place.
I am surprised something like this was not already in place. No one, not even Linus, should be a potential single point of failure. Things happen in life, a contingency / succession plan should have been in place years ago as a just in case.
