New research from Canada shows that shading crops with elevated solar panels creates a cooler, wetter microclimate that can lift yields and improve performance across dozens of crops, from peppers to pasture grass […]

There's been a bit of a scare running through the meme-sphere about US postal service post marks.

"It is true that the USPS updated its DMM regarding postmarks, but officials stressed it didn't change any existing postmarking practices."

The important thing is if you're concerned about […]

Article on how to subscribe to your Apple calendar on CalDAV systems, including clients such as Thunderbird. Useful to help integrate Linux systems and similar with your Apple environment.

How to sync iPhone calendar with gnome-calendar
If you are a Linux user and you own iPhone, you might know, how hard it can be to integrate Apple’s proprietary services with open-source ones. Luckily there is an easy way how to synchronize the iCloud calendar with gnome-calendar because Apple is using the CalDAV standard. You could use NextCloud to host your CalDAV server, but for the sake of simplicity, we will use iCloud calendar. The system I am running is Fedora 37 Beta with Gnome 43 and iPhone 8 with iOS 15.

I find my content on Mastodon to be both more informative, and often more disturbing, than the stuff I get on FB. But I'm more bothered by the FB content - it feels more toxic.

I'd speculate that in addition to the self selection I'm getting from my Mastodon […]

A habit my friends who are better editors have to push me out of is "burying the lead" / lede. This is a useful acronym to remind me of how I should be writing my papers.

Chris wanted a different variety of sugar cookies this year. So, instead of the butter cream frosted variety, this one is a lofty sugar-sprinkled one.

As a variant, he also wanted to see what happened if we used sugar in the raw instead of simple beet sugar. A […]

Three days ago my neighbors suffered a power outage from a transformer that exploded.

I've received emails that last two days from #dte touting their reliability improvements in the area.

One of these things is not like the others.

"This is a reverse centaur, and it's a specific kind of reverse-centaur: it's what Dan Davies calles an "accountability sink." The radiologist's job isn't really to oversee the AI's work, it's to take the blame for the AI's mistakes."

The corollary to this is that in a healthy ecosystem, the […]

A general reminder that "your" device that includes work stuff is not really yours.

Seriously, keep a separate work device and drop it into a Faraday cage when you're not using it.

With the holidays upon us, it's easy to default to giving the tech gifts that retailers tend to push on us this time of year:
smart speakers, video doorbells, bluetooth trackers, fitness trackers, and other connected gadgets are all very popular gifts.
But before you give one, think twice about […]
