In the aftermath of a storm while inspecting tree damage, I noticed that an experiment I started several years ago had succeeded without me realizing. This picture shows an Asian pair grafted onto a Callery Pear rootstock. Something I was told was impossible. Luckily, I am hard to convince.

You solve algae issues with oxygen. Anything else (copper, chemical) is a stopgap and will potentially make it worse or have negative side effects anyways. In the long run, you oxygenate with surface movement, pumps, or natural plant life. This whole project has been ridiculous.

Had a great time at BsidesDSM this weekend and got a really cool new badge as well ☺️
A glowing BSidesDSM 2026 conference badge on a wooden table. The badge has a blue-lit acrylic top with a skyline, circuit-board traces, and “BSidesDSM 2026” etched into it. A translucent green electronics enclosure sits at the bottom, showing part of a small circuit board through a cutout, with a black button on the lower right. A black-and-green BSidesDSM lanyard is partially visible to the left.

The chill otter is laying down next to a phone with rainbow beams fanning out of it. They look at the phone and see it says June 1st, and after a brief contemplation, they snuggle up under a progress pride blanket, phone plugged in farther away.  It reads “It’s ok if you are tired.

Reminder that Klingons say TRANS RIGHTS BRING HONOR TO YOUR HOUSE
DS9 scene: Kor, a Klingon, greets Dax as Curzon. Dax corrects him as the host is now in Jadzia, a Trill female. Cor immediately responds, "Jadzia, my beloved old friend" without missing a beat. 

Right: Two tweets from 2019: "This Pride Month, never forget that Klingons had trans rights"; "No hostility, no confusion, no clumsy excuse-filled justification, just a quick self-correction and the exact same amount of love and respect before and after. Cis allies: Be like Kor."

This is Bodie. His presence indicates the beginning of Pride Month. May his whimsy and steadfastness bring joy and confidence to all. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)
a golden retriever puppy on a bright pink rope leash prances through some tall grass. he’s wearing a brightly patterned bandana around his neck and is carrying a miniature six-stripe pride flag in his mouth. his front right paw is raised mid-stride, like he’s ready to hop into a pride parade at any second.

Meh. Any reasonable threat model had to assume attackers would already have access to this or similar. A lack of software vulns never stopped anyone. Plenty of unpatched vulns to go around if that’s what someone thinks they need. This changes nothing long term, very little in short term.
