Any idea what kind of #bug this is? Suddenly they are all over a certain corner of my #garden and they seem to be particularly fond of my collanders. I hope some predator finds them.

Beans are such a powerful food crop. Being nitrogen fixers, they do not require a soil rich in organic material like most vegetables, since they can get nitrogen from the air and enrich the soil for themselves and the plants around them. Well it is actually not them, but microorganisms that live in their roots. And nitrogen fixers are also more resistant to drought. Beans in general are anual plants, meaning that they need to be planted again every year. Not the guand beans though. Those grow big bushes and will keep producing for a few years. By the time they die, they will have produced offspring already. They can compete well with wild weeds and only require minimal care when they are being first established. They have some kind of resin in their leaves and specially in their seed pods which makes them more resistant to bugs. The leaf-cutter ants seem to love their flowers and leaves and still the guandu beans are able to keep producing regardless. By not being too bushy, the guandu also is great to make half shadow and protect other plants where the sun is scorching. Despite their round grains being small (a bit smaller than soy beans), they have a thick skin which requires you to soak them for at least 20 hours before cooking so that they are not too hard. Their flavor is sweet, even when you salt them well, and they remind me of the flavor of the japanese adzuki beans. We just planted some here to experiment, but after seeing the results, we will spread them far and wide in our property from now on!#Gardening #Homesteading #Farming #NaturalFarming #Beans

@Irisfreundin@troet.cafe @fiery What do you mean by that exactly? They seem quite resistant to me. But maybe you meant something else by that word? Sorry english is not my native language, so maybe I am missing something here.

@Irisfreundin@troet.cafe @fiery Oh I see, so you mean they cannot resist that temperature. Maybe if you grow them in a greenhouse first year? In any case, that means they are not all that useful in places with lots of snow.

@Twocrows@pixelfed.social Hmm it really will depend on what part of the world you are. And like other person commented, if you have a harsh winter, it may not be so good for your region

@troed@swecyb.com Those explanations about how something like Signal is not possible or pragmatic without AWS or the other big players felt like gaslighting and the result is that I no longer trust Signal. Going as far as suggesting "mastodon" (meaning actually the fediverse) also requires AWS is disingenuous at best and malicious at worst, specially considering the CEO was using the fediverse to communicate about the Signal outage as it was happening. Arguing that you need to rely on Android (Google), iOS (Apple) or Windows (MS) to run the client is straight lying as one can use the desktop version to run on Linux and requiring a mobile app to sign up is a choice Signal did, a problem of their own making. Yes I know there is a lot of nuance but the end result is the same: trust has been lost.

@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social @fiery Not only aws is not required to build a large scale centralized system but Signal is also is not necessarily required to be centralized.

@realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social @fiery Aws is not doing magic. Your compute still have to run on physical machines and the ones they have are not special. They also do not have to sit on Bezo's datacenter for large scale systems to work. Now if you are talking about their distributed systems' architecture, now it is not about centralized systems anymore, is it? Cloud is just a magic word that means other people's computers.

@midway@soapbox.midwaytrades.com You are comparing "Cloud" (in this context actually meaning PaaS) to owning your own datacenter as if they were the only options possible, but there is a whole world of options and combinations of options that are not either of these two extremes. I keep getting surprised that so many people actually believe that owning your own datacenter and equipments is the only alternative to so-called "cloud" providers.

@midway@soapbox.midwaytrades.com Now you are talking about something else completely. You are making the point that centralization somehow improves UX. You'd have to substantiate that better.

@johnxlibris@glammr.us @ixi@mastodon.online Did you know you can eat them? When they are young, that is. Use them sliced in soups, for example.
