From earlier today, the water seems about the same as last night and the next street over is still evacuated. There were media, demonstrators and a politician in the neighborhood today. The basement of my place is flooded, otherwise seems okay still. #Regensburg #Hochwasser #Bavaria #Flood

I'm not feeling it this year (it's not Eurovision, it's me) but for those of you who are enjoying and commenting, I hope you have a great time! I'll be checking in on the hashtags #Eurovision #esc #esc2024 to catch a glimpse.

Some plants are trickier to water than others :) Also, it needs a re-potting and better light setup (it looks like some parts are getting too much light and others too little). This is a Sedum Morganianum aka Donkey or Burro's Tail. In the old location it was hanging from a hook and now it's just kind of draped over a shelf. When the leaves fall off as they do with each move and watering I just drop them back into the pot.

Doing some spring pruning today. I usually like to let the plants grow the way they want, but in this case (and with some other plants I'll be trimming) they get too unbalanced and can topple over or stem weakening. This Pachyphytum Oviferum branched and offset/cloned a new smaller plant, and then grew sideways.
It was really cute and I wanted to leave it like this but the head of the original plant was too heavy to support over time.

I have an Android (and Nokia/HMD) question. After updating to Android 14 my Nokia G42 5G lost AAC codec over Bluetooth support, which downgraded some of my headphones as they are falling back to SBC (more noticeable on some headphones than others and these are without aptX* support, which is still working fine). Developer Options doesn't change it. Has anyone else seen this? I already factory defaulted the phone and recently updated to the April 2024 patch with no change.

The Darlingtonia Californica has woken up from winter dormancy.

There is a poll I have that I'll be reboosting a couple more times before it closes to reach across timezones and apologies for the repetition.

If you are a maintainer or contributor for a small-to-one person open source project- from options below, what is your current most pressing need (if any one of them apply specifically to you)?

I'm just trying to get a snapshot as there are a lot of ideas going around. I would like this to remain as anonymous it can possibly be here so don't feel like you need to write a comment.

I already know this is not a professional study #poll

I only have four choices to use, so I know it's incomplete.

Is there concern for snaps or flatpaks? Checking my own stuff it looks like applications using bundled liblzma are running in the 5.2.* - 5.4.* versions, but if someone has a bleeding edge application running an affected version, what would the remediation be? Would uninstalling it be sufficient?

FYI openSUSE Tumbleweed users, the downgrade to the xz library to roll it back to 5.4.6 is already in place (you can check by seeing the update target version) so update now (to do the downgrade) if you haven't already.

This Echeveria Lola succulent is about four years old. I had tried before to propagate it with leaf pullings without success. Late last summer it shifted in the pot with a different growth pattern (it looked healthy otherwise) and it seems it was making some room for more. This is the first watering of the year (I think) and I trimmed out the dead leaves that were covering the offsets and replaced it with a light cover of Seramis.

Open note to self: the non screw-in audio TRS locking cable jack is called "bayonet"*.

I tend to chew through these for whatever reason so have to remember the term when ordering replacements. I'd been calling them "Sennheiser locks" but that isn't exactly right.

(edit to add- like the B in BNC cable, though these are plastic)

My Nokia G42 5G didn't make the jump to Android 14 gracefully. So far it's most noticeable with Bluetooth, BT audio codecs and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) handling, they generally seem somewhat bugged. AAC out to paired AAC supported device seems to be unavailable now so it defaults to SBC. Luckily AptX, AptxHD and AptX Adaptive are working. AptX LL is falling back to AptX (but I'm not sure this phone ever supported Low Latency).

Repotting day for the Venus Flytraps planted from seed in Fall 2022. They seem about halfway out of dormancy. The leaves are starting to stand up and there is new growth, but most of the traps are not fully active yet. They were pretty easy to work with this time. Most of them went into a larger pot, but I put some in smaller pots to give to friends this spring. The last pic is right when they were removed from the old pot.

People who have spent time working on Accessibility know that it is not a single project with a finish point, it is a practice that (ideally) should be included in things that are used. And things that are used (and the usability of the item) can be measured to see if they work for everyone or not, and those items can be declared successful (or not).

Anyone who says "Accessibility has failed" with confidence seems at best naive in the same way anyone stating "Accessibility has succeeded" are.

next time audio stops working correctly after an update, check to make sure that it's (still) installed.

Brought these outside for the first time this year to get some sun and fresh air. They started coming out of dormancy a few weeks ago (I reset the wintering bulb light timers every few weeks to follow sunrise/sunset). They'll be going in and out of the house until they fully acclimate to outside again.

Pronunciation question for "aptX" (short for "audio processing technology *" which is a Bluetooth audio codec). I've heard it spoken both ways below, but how would you pronounce it?

The #ICE10 to Brussels is stuck in Aachen (we may have to switch to a bus). We have already met someone going to #FOSDEM so that part is really neat!
