David From Space
I’m David. I live in Tacoma, Washington. I do square foot gardening, home automation with Home Assistant, and have too many cats.
You think you saw me behind some ferns? You just might have!

David From Space@orbiting.observerto Nature and Gardening@beehaw.org•What's growing on, Beehaw?English3·18 days agoI’ve only grown grain for my cats…rye is an excellent catgrass.
I’ve got our lettuces, onions, and various cole crops started and planted!
I need to get started on the rest of what I’ll be growing this year…I haven’t gotten any garlic or potatoes started, ehh…
that horse ain’t right.

David From Space@orbiting.observerto Games@lemmy.world•Retro Boy is a simple Game Boy emulator written in Rust that can be played on the webEnglish17·24 days agoYou′re walking in the woods
There’s no one around and your phone is dead
Out of the corner of your eye, you spot them
(Written in Rust)
They’re following you, about 30 feet back
They get down on all fours and break into a sprint
They’re gaining on you
“Written in Rust!”
You’re looking for your car but you′re all turned around
They’re almost upon you now
And you can see there’s blood on their face
My God, there′s blood everywhere!
Running for your life (from writing in Rust!)
They’re compiling a knife (it′s written in Rust!)
Perhaps the ICP should appeal more to the everyday layperson…a gender neutral term coined in 1972, just seventeen years before the unrelated 1989 release of Belgian techno anthem, Pump Up the Jam.
David From Space@orbiting.observerto Archaeology@mander.xyz•Features - An Egyptian Temple Reborn - Archaeology Magazine - March/April 2025English31·1 month agoI feel somewhat fascinated by this article, mostly due to the pictures. Look at this:
I find it fascinating how it’s clearly a man and a woman, despite it being an ancient carving.
Or this one:
.
How many centuries old is it? Describe it as a hippopotamus goddess, and most modern humans will be like ‘yeah, that tracks.’
oh, to have a familiar that shares your fashion sense

I suspect many of us will make popular and correct but extremely cool and illegal choices in the near future.

David From Space@orbiting.observerto Nature and Gardening@beehaw.org•What's growing on, Beehaw?English2·1 month agoIt’s mild and wet in the Pacific Northwest. It’s been in the 40s, mostly. I was hoping it’d be closer to the 50s but NOPE! I started a bunch of plants in February - lettuce, kale, several hundred onions, spinach, carrots, you name it. I transplanted them a week ago during a spat of more normal 50s weather.
I have a good cold frame cover over my raised bed plot, and thank goodness…everything appears to have survived, despite local 30-43F degree weather here. That includes one dip to 31F! I’m super happy! Spring 2025 friends:
- Cilanto
- Chevril
- Parsley
- POTAT! 2 KINDS!
- Carrots
- Russian Kale
- Lacinto Kale
- So many lettuces!
- Mesclun
- Spinach
- Chard
- Mustard Greens

David From Space@orbiting.observerto Linux@programming.dev•Managing windows and focusing specific apps on Linux?English3·2 months agoI know you said Gnome, but if you are willing to look at Plasma, I’ve just started using Bismuth on KDE Plasma and I think it can do at least a chunk of that. It can set particular sizes with Window Rules, it looks to have a quite robust shortcut system, including resizing windows, swapping, rotating, or changing layouts. As for the focus vs open, KRunner lets you choose the active application when you type it’s name. There’s also this: https://github.com/academo/ww-run-raise but I have not used it and cannot vouch for that.

I’m self hosting this, and it works pretty well. It can be integrated with Google Calendar with some effort, and it works with CalDAV (which I’m using through NextCloud).
