Thank you, I hadn't considered that style. All the YouTube videos use the mechanical click type, but you've got me thinking that the simpler beam style might be better for my situation.

Venus flytraps are great plants to keep, but they're not effective for pest control, especially against tiny gnats. The gnats you have are probably fungus gnats and your houseplants' soil is infested with their larvae. To get them under control you have to innoculate the soil with nematodes that eat the larvae. The particular brand I got on Amazon aren't available anymore, but the species was s. feltiae and they worked really well. There might be other good or better nematodes, but that's how you get rid of the gnats.

Just a macro shot of a seashell.
This is great!

[OC] Hey.
Ugh I've never encountered a black widow, but I just felt that sentence.
I think recluses and widows do sometimes live around here in NJ, but I haven't seen any yet. Regardless, I'm ready for them.
The only spiders I kill are the yellow sac spiders because they will bite you in your sleep and cause a nasty infection. It happened to me once.

[OC] A little jumping spider.
I remember when I was trying to take this photo the spider jumped on the lens and I might have screamed.

A fawn waiting for its mother, curled up in a garden bed under a bush, behind a fence. You can see the mother out of focus in the background.
I have the Withings and it works well as a digital scale. However, I think it's body composition measurements/calculations are bogus. It thinks I have a 3.8% bone mass, which would be 6.7 lbs. That's right it thinks I'm some kind of bird cryptid.
Probably to broadcast announcements.
Juneteenth is a federal holiday, but private employers don't have to observe it. Mine sure doesn't. I have never heard of any employer observing Mother's or Father's day with a paid holiday.
Yes, I believe that is still the case. I found guides to install Docker on a Yunohost/Debian server and another guide to install Lemmy on Docker, so we'll see if I can figure it out.
My little self-hosting win this weekend was to finally sort out the typical email issues. Yunohost makes it easy to use an SMTP relay.
I am a Yunohost enjoyer. I'm just running AdGuard on it for now, but I'm planning on setting up a personal Lemmy instance as well.
