We’ve got friends (with no intention of selling) with farms in the area, and have them looking out for options. Unfortunately nothing through them direct to an owner yet.

We’ve got friends (with no intention of selling) with farms in the area, and have them looking out for options. Unfortunately nothing through them direct to an owner yet.

I’d like to agree on that, but the reality is they won’t even bother talking to anyone. Everything goes through the realtor, they don’t seem to ever want anyone to show up without. On the way back from an outing with the kids, we swung by one and just parked on the street and looked and talked. The owner happened to be outside, and we got “You’ll have to talk to the realtor if you want to see anything” then he just straight up went inside.
If I could find a better option for finding the sorts of farmers mentioned in the article who want people who will work the land and not just tear it up, I’d use it. I have yet to find one though.

For where I am there is a similar fee for the rezoning, but I don’t think that matters to them at this point. Even with the 3-5 acre minimum plots some of the towns have.
I’ve seen a few straight up empty plots (no buildings but actively farmed) in the 20-80 acre range sell for millions, that sold less than 10 years ago in the $200k-$400k range. They’ve already been split up into new lots, starting price of the homes are $900k and up, not even built yet. The fee on the taxes is less than 10% of the sale price according to public records.

As someone actively searching for farmland for farm purposes, one thing farmers could do when they decide to sell is actually consider use with their buyers and the price they put on it. Pricing it at 6-15 times the price of 10 years ago based on what developers will pay will also price people who want to actually farm it out of the market.


One thing I’d note is what sourcehut has done is far beyond what codeberg has, specifically this part:
original content written with or which facilitates the use of LLMs (large language models) or other generative AI technologies
What codeberg did was the first part - content written with LLMs, though even that is “mostly”. Sourcehut goes way more restrictive.
And a shot out to @[email protected] for BentoPDF! Glad to have you here and an awesome tool to boot.


I generally don’t ever look at dashboards, only historical data, and only after an issue.
I get an alert that there is an issue, and if its an issue thats happened before, there is an automation to address (this is why I look at historical data, to determine indicators).
So I never need to look on a mobile dashboard, because the only thing I’m interested in is the notification. The only way that isn’t going to work is if I have a larger outage, but I get a notification through work for that - I have a site-to-site setup so I could attach a switch to my work network for work reasons, and if that goes down I get a notification through my work setup (and vice-versa, which was a fun morning when that side went down).


Its already pretty dark and just getting worse…


You can, I’m just saying be prepared for disappointment. The amount of effort you need to put in, imo, you could have had a spreadsheet and been done. And then used that with a script to autogenerate some mermaidml to get a purdy drawing out of it (which I highly recommend leveraging Beautiful-Mermaid ).
And then you can feed that to an llm and make your queries about ports or other uses, to me thats a much better use/approach. To each their own though.


Nope, and I wouldn’t recommend it either. They are generally not great with mapping IMO, no matter the model.
And really this is better managed with a quick diagram and a spreadsheet. If you want some software, look at netbox for this, you can add in validation rules and all kinds of automations as well.
But really, use a spreadsheet.


My workstations are Debian, my laptops are a mix of Debian and Arch, same with test hardware.
They all look the same - KDE as my desktop environment, no generic software added at install, just adding what I want. If you were to use any one of them purely from the GUI (KDE), I doubt you’d know which was which without checking version info.
Linux is a kernel. A desktop environment is the GUI. The distro is packaging.
The difference between distributions is predominantly what is packaged up, the tool used to install/update, and an overarching philosophy on those tools.
Debian is about being stable. This means more dated packages, but running into issues from an update is (mostly) not even a question when running the stable branch. Amazing for workstations and older hardware IMO.
Arch updates constantly. Updates can introduce breaking changes, even minor ones, which can interrupt workflow. It also means the latest and greatest features are right there and ready quickly. I like arch for testing and making use of recent hardware that may not have support elsewhere yet.
You could also build entirely from source, use a downstream from Debian like Mint (Debian Edition) or Kubuntu, or downstream of Arch like SteamOS or EndeavourOS. Downstream distributions add more opinion under a more particular approach to their upstream counterparts. For some its to make the system easier to install (EndeavourOS vs Arch), add more recent features (Kubuntu vs Debian), or to make something incredibly specialized (SteamOS, formerly based on Debian and now based in Arch, highly focused on gaming).
The only thing thats “pure” Linux is the kernel. Everything else comes down to purpose and preference.


I’ve gone this route! Anything with a busted screen is fair game to me, though I haven’t picked up any recently, mostly just tiny/mini/micros (and heavy on the lenovo tiny).
But a custom hacked up laptop can be a great option especially with tight space to work with
Edit: I’m surprised I missed your original post! I did the same, though what I reused was first a lenovo tiny, more recently updated with a digital signage player I picked up that I swapped parts out on - way more fun than a standard console imo!


Its not even a distro. Its arch with dotfiles. Literally.
No repos, no custom packages, etc. Just arch with sloppy dotfiles.


Could be a 20s clip! 😀


I read the original differently than you, but it seems its been edited in the meantime (and I’m on mobile at the moment)
Either way, I think all is well currently


Testing, test plans, and QA is not “mostly all”.
Let’s also stay on topic please. Its tagged appropriately and the relevant disclosure is present.


That really isn’t the issue, and no, that would not be permitted here. It would be one thing to note that an LLM was used in some part of the project, it would be entirely different to criticize the poster based purely off whether or not there were any contributions involving LLM.
That would be a rule 1 violation.
If you want to comment on a known vulnerability, thats one thing. Commenting that its vulnerable because an LLM had a pair level patch is not.


Ah, got it, I misunderstood from the post, sorry about that

Unfortunately not or I’d take you up on it!
Our friends have been chatting with other locals, even ones who have chunks of land that aren’t used to see if they’d sell a piece off or something that they aren’t using. So far no bites, but we’re all keeping an eye out on options.
