Hey rockologists of the Fediverse, what kind of rock is this? Found in my garden, outer western suburbs of Melbourne. It doesn’t look like the normal kind of rocks we get around here though so it’s probably a decorative piece.

EDIT: appears to be flint? mastodon.social/@David_Holling

Okay, every time I try to use a web search I understand why so many people ask ChatGPT, but I would much rather #askFedi 😊 this one's mostly for gardeners: what are some good plant sources of phosphorus? Specific plants or specific parts of plants (the only things I found so far are new shoots and fruit, but I don't have tomatoes to give to the plants I'm trying to help grow tomatoes lol)

Folks using screen readers: How annoying is it to come across posts with a lot of emojis? I know those that use the clapping hands every other word are ones to avoid boosting, but what about someone who just adds five or so emojis in a row? Or scatters them throughout the post? How many is too many?

I often see posts I'd like to boost, but the many emojis makes me hesitate.

Hit the account size limit on pixelfed.social and with Fedicon on, I doubt @dansup has the bandwidth for admin messages. On me for uploading close to max image sizes.

I have some experience with self-hosting and using podman (in place of docker) and have lots of storage space and compute locally

I'm reading the install docs but the docker side of them seems very much a work in progress.

Anyone have any experience they would share? Any gotchas?

this is a long shot: but has anyone here worked with ESC/POS thermal receipt printers on linux before?

I found a cheap usb thermal printer on amazon and would love to fiddle around with it, but idk how likely it is that ”Portable Mini Thermal Printer 2 inch Wireless USB Receipt Bill Ticket Printer with 58mm Print Paper Compatible with iOS Android Windows for Restaurant Sales Retail" uses standard ESC/POS commands and would work with something like python-escpos.

any thoughts?
