New compost pile (blue line) is heating up faster than the last one that failed (brown line). The new one has more grass clippings and a larger volume.

Midjourney will be quick and easier to get high quality results, but less flexible. Your current GPU can work with stable diffusion but you'll need some extra options to reduce VRAM usage and the generations will be slow. Stable diffusion has enough of a learning curve that rapid iterations really help figuring it out.
A 3060 12GB would be a good, relatively cheap GPU for self-hosted stable diffusion.

For the flatlanders...
Really glad to see Iris development continuing. We need a diversity of nostr clients to keep the ecosystem healthy.

I started testing ControlNet with OpenPose detection for #stablediffusion last night. This was disturbingly easy to create. The image on the left is from the web, the lines overlaid were detected automatically. There's a simple editor that allows you edit the pose lines too.

I think I saw that same post. The capitalization is what threw me off. It's always nmap and never NMAP.
Portquiz.net is a cool tool I found recently. Just go to http://portquiz.net:XXXX and it will check to see if that port is open from whatever IP the request comes from.
I've been trying to compost for years. It wasn't until I took the course at the Soil Food Web School that I really understood the what and why of it.
The most important thing is maintaining aerobic conditions. If you see white ashy spots inside when turning, that means it went anaerobic. The white stuff is actinobacteria, which suppresses fungi in the soil. This usually happens when there's too much nitrogen and the bacteria population explodes, using up the oxygen faster than it can diffuse into the pile. Really high temperatures, like 165F+ is a sign that you need to turn the pile or jam a tool handle into it and make a chimney.
Using a cheap compost thermometer, recording daily temperature measurements in a spreadsheet, and graphing it over time gave me the feedback I needed to dramatically improve my piles.
Attached is data from my first pile this season. It's not heating up quick enough due to lack of nitrogen.


The tree is the mushroom.
The mushroom is the tree.
Together they harness the power of the sun.
Look below the drab field and see the true power of fungi.

Thanks. I got a fancy one recommended by the Soil Food Web School when I took their course last year, nut probably just about anything will do. The main specs are a shadowing microscope with 40-100-400X total magnification. I haven't been able to get a good picture out of the microscope camera yet, so the one I posted was actually from holding my phone up to one of the eyepieces.

These are the best results I've gotten starting seeds and I'm not sure why. I think it might be the soil mix which is regular bagged potting soil that was left out over the rainy winter to soak up water and begin decomposing.
The module trays are Charles Dowdings CD60 from All About the Garden. Highly recommended for the sloped sides and large bottom hole that make it easy to pop out the starts for transplanting. They're super sturdy too. https://allaboutthegarden.com/products/charles-dowding-modular-trays
What do you like to use for starting seeds? #permies #permaculture #grownostr
Made a few batches years ago, but good honey is expensive. Definitely the easiest process compared to cider and beer, just be sure to take care of your yeast with aeration and nutrients.
But the chains are so comfy, and I don't have to do anything scary like think for myself or take responsibility.
