Nice day to change over a power pole. This is about halfway done, we stand the new pole next to the old one, then start transferring conductors over to the new pole one at a time, that way we can keep everything live the whole time β‘β‘ #grownoster #electricity #distribution lines #construction

In New Zealand we use Douglas-fir for fire wood a lot, I was going to ask what a Nobel fir was, but just found out that Douglas-fir isn't even a real for tree
Cool, I would be interested in how that goes, what are you going to try use it for? I though it could be good to use as a fertiliser
UX is better π
Just be aware GrapheneOS and CalyxOS are much different. GrapheneOS is a hardened OS with substantial privacy and security improvements:
https://grapheneos.org/features
CalyxOS is not a hardened OS. It substantially reduces security. It recently went 2 months not shipping standard security patches.
Compatibility with Android apps on GrapheneOS is also much different. GrapheneOS provides our sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer:
https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play
Can run the vast majority of Play Store apps on GrapheneOS, but not CalyxOS with the problematic microG approach.
CalyxOS uses Google services by default and give them privileged access, even if you don't use microG on CalyxOS.
grapheneos.org/faq#default-cβ¦
Purpose of GrapheneOS is not specifically avoiding Google services but we do avoid using them as the default services.
To clarify, they always use Google services even without microG. They use Google for connectivity checks, network time, attestation key provisioning, SUPL, PSDS (Pixel 6 and 7), eSIM activation and more enabled by default.
Some of these involve sending data and could be considered privacy invasive. GrapheneOS has worked hard to avoid using Google services by default.
https://blog.privacyguides.org/2022/04/21/grapheneos-or-calyxos/ is a 3rd party article explaining some of the substantial differences between GrapheneOS and CalyxOS. It's a common misconception that they're similar. CalyxOS is far more similar to LineageOS than GrapheneOS. There are many other alternate OSes available
privsec.dev/posts/android/choosing-your-android-based-operating-system/ is another article about privacy and security differences between alternative Android-based operating systems. Talks about other alternate operating systems including DivestOS. Unlike most content, these are based on real experience and technical details.
Great reply, sorry I didn't see that earlier. I don't seem to get a notification for replying, do you need to nostr:npub1gd3h5vg6zhcuy5a46crh32m4gjkx8xugu95wwgj2jqx55sfgxxpst7cn8c in a reply for notification?
Its not too hard, you just need to find a place to get uncontaminated mycelium, most countries will have online mushroom supplys for sale, lions main can be a bit more tricky, something like oyster mushrooms are really easy for beginners.
We usually just fry them in a cast iron pan, I believe that if you are trying to use them for medicinal properties you are best to use a water and or alcohol extraction.

Found a log of wild turkey tail mushrooms "Trametes versicolor" they are tough and leathery, but can be brewed into a tea or added into stock making.

Any way to get mobile keet working like a walkie talkie?
Recently in New Zealand a cyclone left large parts of the country without power for days, lots of people had a cell phone with battery but no coverage, could get briar to send by bluetooth and WiFi if connected to a WiFi network, but couldn't get it working WiFi phone to phone.
Anyway to make a WiFi mesh network with keet?
Any kiwis on here? π³πΏπ β‘
My wife convinced me to watch breaking bad, used to make chicken nachos and watch an episode together in the evening, good times!
I've been using calyx os for about a year now, i really like it and I'll only be using a custom rom from now on. but I'm thinking about giving graphene os a go. I would like to know if there is much of a UX difference?
