  ah it’s this way.

  ok, just consider buying bare sensors and attaching them to some MCU boards you like - with good connectivity and all - some distance away from the boards (working MCU alters readings significantly unless you bump it into ultra low power, which makers of these simple adafruuit probes often do not care about). It’s way cheaper and easier to integrate in most cases, also you get to choose sensors just for the task, often you can get insane performance (like, glass-clad Pt thermal probes are often surprisingly cheap, for example)

  This task needs more specifications; humidity is such a wide spectrum.

  Accurate? Like, seriously, it’s clearly a degenerative generative AI tool, it’s literally imagining things the way its designer would probably approve, and you turn it into sick advocacy of misogynist people bitching about body art? I’m leaving your comments as they are, as a testament to how sick this is, but please do reconsider your world view, you seem to be more than capable of that.

  Nonsense to make you buy it. I could sell you some at overprice too if you are hooked though, sure, I have plenty of that junk now that I’m trying to recover my bees population loss from winter. It’s healthy stuff probably, with all the vitamins sustaining a living being for whole life.

  Well at least with opensource, we can keep forking. Like Audacity project showed is possible, for example, through chaos to better product. I’m more concerned with physical resources though, those do not fork.

  Github is not git, after all, and self-hosting some git server is kind of simple. Not doing it myself though, too many friends who do it already lol.

  well at least the search feature gives you a list of these communities; fortunately, it’s usually short (unless you search for “memes”) and you could realistically just join all (like I do)

  Yes, in different channel; the OP just should start using “cross-post” button.

  I wish there was an aggregator of comments from all cross-posted instances of a post. Can’t wait till Lemmy 1.0 with plugins thing.

  Here, in the North, as snow covers the ground we make sacrificial fat ball offerings to the beast, you know, just in case. Brain is mostly fat tissue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨meat honey⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s their protein source; honey is pretty much carbs-only, good in winter, when they just keep warm, but raising kids on that is not good. Besides, bees are wasps, and wasps are carnivores, they need protein and mostly eat pollen protein in summer if they can. Honeybees eat flesh too, including cannibalism, just less often than plant material - apparently, with organized labor veganism turned out to be more effective, at least for them. No morals behind it, pure business.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨meat honey⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What? I literally can see them collecting alder pollen in huge quantities, carrying it on their hind legs like cavalry pants and forming into highly nutritional tubes, it’s possible to trace them from tree to hive - well, it’s not that there is any other pollen source here now anyway. And when I collect honey, quite some amount of this stuff falls down into the tank, not mentioning cross contamination in “pollen is processed at the same facility” honey manufacturing business bees are running. At least that part of the story is certainly true, that gives some basis to disregarding the conclusions of the meta-research you found.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨meat honey⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mind you, as far as I understand, bees convert it a bit too, so it might be somewhat slightly less aggressive than just flying particles in the air or sniffing a flower. Kind of “allergic vaccine” if that mechanism works, which, again, I’m not certain about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨meat honey⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess it’s getting a bit easier by the year; but I mean, until it’s gone completely, I couldn’t really tell. I’m basing my “strategy” on same anecdotic knowledge you mentioned, although I’ve never seen it proven right or wrong in a methodical research; I don’t really care, it’s not that if I know it for certain anything will change, I’ll just keep living here and eat the stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨meat honey⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It totally is! I’m allergic to several types of pollen, also I live in the middle of the forest and am a beekeeper. My stomach hurts when I eat that stuff. Nothing of this stops me; I also love Spring. I feel quite sick now, too (well, cold weather came back and it’s a bit easier than 2 days ago). Good that I have mild allergy, I’d be dead by now if I had it hard. When birch flowers unusually hard, I sometimes have a symptom that feels like how people describe asthma.

  Maybe some day I’ll get desensibilized enough, after eating this stuff regularly. Maybe I’ll die trying.

  My neighbor doctor - also a beekeeper - says that many people who perceive honey as slightly spicy actually get allergic reaction from traces of pollen in it. He also thinks my strategy of eating pollen to overcome allergy should eventually work; I think I just like the taste too much to stop.

  The trick with pollen I’ve discovered is that as soon as it is extracted from the honeycomb, it starts quickly degrading; whenever it’s sold, it’s bleak tasteless flavorless powder, not even close to explosion of flavor that happens when you chew on a fresh blob right from the honeycomb (usually with the honeycomb, who cares, it’s edible too. Almost everything inside the nest is edible, apart form the frames and other human-made nonsense). Apparently you can get the stuff only from an actual beekeeper (or by raiding wild bees nest probably, I think it’s not a good idea though), and I only figured it out when I started keeping bees!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨meat honey⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, as I understood it, there is “edible honey” that is really plant-based, and “carrion meat-based protein storage” that kind of works like pollen storage in honeybees nest. TBH, I find pollen more nutritional and tasty than honey. And I know that honey bees are opportunistic carnivores too. These things kind of come together in a story better left untold.

  It is serious. I have no clear explanation on “why”, it’s just a taboo, kind of good to know in case you happen to come to the reindeer herding area. I’ve learned it from basic reindeer herding dog training program orientation; I don’t have any reindeer, but I do have reindeer herding dogs. They only allow a few breeds there that naturally know the drill and can survive for hours having fun in savage frost.

  Reindeers are so small IRL, about human-size, incredibly warm to touch, and they make sounds like pigs. They are also somewhat afraid of humans, unlike regular livestock, they usually run away from you same as from a dog and sometimes counterattack the dogs, which is scary. Herders would be happy to tell you about their life and everything, but just don’t discuss the head count.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No way!..⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually there are schools of theology in both of these religions that enshrine diversity and embrace interoperability with other religions. They are just not mainstream because guess what? Mainstream religion is owned by power, and all that power is fascist essentially. Sure enough there are no true believers in anything but power in mainstream religions, start stripping them down on theology field and they reveal it.

  I mean, just have a look at any works by Hakim Bey and Tim Morton’s latest book.
