I think many staple crops are often more prone to drought issues than not getting enough sunlight. Many crops can thrive pretty well with only 4-5 hours of direct sunlight and for the rest of the day just enough general brightness. A bit less direct sunlight can help reduce water usage.

Evolution is going towards semi-transparant solar panels (solar windows) for various use cases, agrivoltaics among them.

It’s also not unfeasible to have a herd of sheep or goats roaming around solar panels.

Tho it’s true it’s a challenge to successfully combine large scale solar and agriculture, I think the future ahead is looking very bright for this combo. Around here (south Germany) it is by now very uncommon to see stables and warehouses without an enormous solar roof, for example…

The front was a plastic and the body was metal…

The sun moves.

But Tailscale is free, works very easily and reliable and it is set up in minutes. I will only be motivated to look into all that when tailscale isn’t free and reliable anymore… I guess that will eventually happen at sometime in the future.

I think because it lets them see themselves as scientists or so

Honestly a not-the-worst back-up for a starter is just regularly (monthly for example) plugging in an external SSD, HDD or even a memory stick and put data you value in cold storage. Almost all can be rebuilt and gathered again, except data you personally value.

Okay cool!

On mobile Voyager is quite nice imo

There’s just one little hurdle: choose an instance when joining. Maybe it could just be some sort of “choose for me” and every instance gets equal new users, random. Of course with the option to “nope, I’ll choose instance myself”. Everything else is technical and a casual new user shouldn’t be bothered very much by it. Some are very interested and dig in to the knowledge, some just want to scroll cat pictures and call it a day, and that is fine too.

Local ones with eyes and brains do hit my very dirty window sometimes. Natural selection I suppose.

But I enjoy fucking around with Linux

I try, I do often use rdp on work computer (windows 11) to access private computer pc (Linux)

LinOffice looks promising, thanks!

Me too!

Plenty of memory, CPU I think is still pretty good.

No never heard of before, but everyone here is suggesting it so I will check that out. Thanks

What I’ve heard is it’s mainly very single core CPU heavy, GPU not very relevant. Thanks I’m going to look into Winboat for sure, being suggested a lot here

I will look into Winboat, thanks

Bingo on the used as database ;) It’s very hard to move them away from that, I have insufficient impact on that

No, I need to work in excel so much it wouldn’t make much difference
