Should I ditch jpgs in my whole photo library in favor of AVIF or WebP? What considerations should I have about doing that change? in c/technology@lemmy.ml

don't think you can really convert them properly without losing data

Ordered some seeds from ebay! (lemmygrad.ml)
 

Cat climbed up on the counter and tried to mess em up.

I want to start an indoor and outdoor garden. Planting season is coming up.

I'm also having decent success germinating some rice.

I'm somewhat regretting my choice to buy pinto and black bean 'seeds'.

Also I've been making trips up into the hills to dig up naturally occurring clay and that sort of thing and carry it down in my big backpack.

Maybe I can try and make some dirt out of that.... I already went to home depot to get some garden fertilizer, but I prob need to get some high nitrogen stuff in bulk.

Any criticisms of Stalin? in c/genzedong@lemmygrad.ml

What does 'consolidate all power' mean? He still must have plenty of allies left to run a whole country.

Also did Lenin ever name a preferred successor?

Anyone having success with Gentoo Linux? (lemmygrad.ml)
 

I ran Gentoo on our Ryzen 5800X computer... But we had to stop with that because after all my tinkering we didn't have a usable enough system capable of doing the things we needed, like running Steam.

I have developed a love/hate relationship with portage. It's very powerful letting you get at all the compiler flags. I like that. But it was too unwieldy also and parts of it felt a little outdated.

What I need for my workstation is something that is very powerful and efficient but also highly robust and stable enough to serve as the base for all my usages.

Maybe I'll try Funtoo. Thought about NixOS or something but don't want to do that really.

Looks like the creator of Gentoo has a YouTube: Daniel Robbins / BDFLFUN2

Three bamboo shoots I've collected and planted. (europe.pub)
 

These are the bamboos I dug up from the neighborhood. I planted them in a pot. And I hope to get some affordable wood stock from these.

Also yesterday when me and dad were hiking I took a branch of manzanita which I prepared by shaving and planting with rooting hormone and fertilizer. If that goes well I will share.
