Mini raised bed #3
  • Yeah. Hand watering takes so so long. I'm really trying to reduce the amount of hand water required this year. I'm looking to do drip tubing and drip micro tubing, but still researching my options. I've been asking everyone I know. Most people use a bit of everything (hand watering, sprinklers, drip/soaker hose, etc.)

  • Mini raised bed #3
  • What's your watering situation? You've posted so many lovely raised beds and potted plants all across your property. Are you using soaker hose everywhere or is it some type of drip tubing? I'm about to redo our water and just looking at options. Right now I'm leaning towards drip tubing...

  • Proxmox on NUC8I5BEH
  • Try adding a HDMI dummy plug. Older Intel NUC's (8th gen and earlier) have an issue that's fixed (but always seems to come back...) where they don't like functioning headlessly (without a display connected.)

    Edit: Also, make sure your BIOS is uptodate.

  • Weekly Discussion: 27 May 2024
  • More content is (almost) always better. 😜

    I think you're doing great encouraging engagement. Keep it up. Fire is a hard topic to drive engagement because it's so personal to everyone and everyone's lives are so different. Back to basic's could bring in people unfamiliar with fire.

  • Mars declared unsafe for humans to live as no one can survive for longer than four years
  • Great questions. Honestly, I haven't given it much though.

    What would determine whether a source is added?

    Hard question. Open to suggestions. Even if a post starts off with a click-bait-y title/source, our member typically post concrete sources and more resources in the comments. The discussions are a large part of the community and, as of now, we are not overrun with bad sources/posts. I inclined to create a plan, but not implement until we have more issues. I'd like to say the community decides, but it could lead to endless polls about sources. Thoughts?

    Frequency of reports?

    Absolutely would be one metric. So far, we get very, very, very few reports in the Space community. Mostly the reports are to remove trolls or unrelated content.

    Moderator discretion?

    It would probably start here. Not sure I'm comfortable making those decisions, but this is likely the reality until we have more discussions and decide on a path forward.

    Community vote?

    This would be pretty great...just not sure how to go about it. I guess we could sticky a vote post for a few weeks or something.

    Could a source ever be removed from the list if its quality improves?

    We would have to have a mechanism for this. Times change. So do journals/magazines/periodicals.

    I believe that Otter is correct, there is no way to restrict domains on a community level. So this would be managed by the mods supported by reports from the community.

  • Mars declared unsafe for humans to live as no one can survive for longer than four years
  • I'm torn. On one hand, I'm fine with removing poor sources as there is so much garbage on the internet it's good to keep it from invading all spaces. On the other hand, there's some good discussion here...but it could be mainly about how garbage the article is...

    Overall, there have been very few reports for poor sources/spam/fake articles. So report it and we'll start removing it. This means we should probably compile a "deny list" for inappropriate sources.

  • Foundation advice
  • The house is not occupied and there is access to the crawlspace.

    My main concern is that I'm not sure a concrete foundation can be built underneath the house. Since it has the addition which a concrete foundation, the house cannot be lifted. The weight bearing concrete would have to be built upto the level of the house...which I'm not sure is possible.

    A basement would be amazing.

    Foundation advice

    Drawing

    Red is a concrete foundation. Black is rotting wood foundation that needs to be replaced.

    Foundation issues suck. House has foundation issues. Most of the foundation will need to be replaced. Part of the house currently has a wood foundation which is rotting. There is an addition which has a concrete foundation. (See image above).

    I know that the wood foundation can be replaced with a pier and post foundation. They can stabilize the house, dig and pour piers, then use metal posts to brace the house at the right height.

    Is a pier and post foundation the only option? Is there a way to do a concrete foundation?

    Edit: The image is a top down look at the perimeter of the house. The red part is a ~600 sqft addition. The black part is the main house.
