It’s compost awareness week, so of course, we’re celebrating community composting!
Transition Lymington collects kitchen waste from nearby homes, and it makes their community garden self-sufficient in compost for all the lovely local, no dig, peat free, nature friendly growing they do.
Coexist set up Bristol Living Soil community composting project with a Transition Together seed funding grant last year. “Biologically complete, deliciously fertile soil can only be made at a small, local scale with time, care, energy and attention.”
Here’s how they do it, another project to celebrate in #compostawarenessweek!

Does anyone know how various rust gui frameworks compare, especially when it comes to mobile support
@sofia@chaos.social Oddly on point, given a Dutch saying about a nearby city ("hoe dichter bij Dordt, hoe rotter het wordt")

Wrote an email to my MP to ask them to ban all private jets
No need to reply to tell me this was pointless or something
(Boosting this is fine, for the record, there's nothing private on there)
Megabus (RIP) was definitely a very professional bus company

In 2024, $.32 gets you a Cortex M0, 4kB RAM, 16kB flash and a built-in 24MHz oscillator. All in a package that's terrifyingly close to being accidentally swallowable.

Tijdens een verjaardagfeest zagen we een andere manier om stickers te gebruiken. Een bekende van ons kreeg een cadeau ingepakt met rood-zwart plakband. Toen de jarige vroeg, waar de persoon zo zulk mooi plakband vandaan kwam, bleek het in stukjes geknipte stickers te zijn. De gene die het cadeautje gaf kon de plakband niet vinden.
Niet helemaal waar stickers voor bedoelt zijn. Al deed het ons denken, aan iets wat we deden bij de lokale ABC. Daar verknipte we stickers om die weer op kaarten te plakken en opstuurde naar gevangen.
Een mede activist van ons gebruikt stickers als boodschappenlijstje. Op de achterkant schrijft hij wat hij moet halen. Als hij alles heeft, plakt ie de sticker in de buurt van de winkel.
I doubt this solution will ever make it into the Matrix protocol, to be clear. I gave up on the MSC process a while ago. But I'll definitely be working on it for #Atoki.

The official word from the #nixos foundation in today's live Q&A session is (paraphrased) "oh there's always someone who's going to object to something so we don't want to make any decisions regarding ethics".
What a fucking cop out. And what an insult to the community. Imagine thinking this is an appropriate response to 128 contributors signing an open letter within 24h condemning an ethical decision that you've made.
Curiously, it looks like this problem can be solved with basically the same mechanism as the Spaces access control replication MSC that I wrote a while ago
Huh, I think I might have found a solution for the problem in Matrix where 'roles' are really difficult to implement because they break orderability assumptions in the stateres protocol

The wave of cancelations include 70 additional bands from countries other than Ireland.
