Very beautiful, love gardens that incorporate trees! Putting on my list for a future visit.

Treated waste water sludge is very commonly used here in Sweden albeit using anaerobic digestion rather than regular composting. High temperature composting would kill any pathogens so you can absolutely get permission to use a composting waste system in small scales. For larger scale waste treatment it is with anaerobic digestion, as mentioned.

The captured methane is typically used for fuel, e.g., in public transport.

As far as I know the sludge used for fertilizer needs to be certified under something called REVAQ. Some controversy does exist surrounding safe levels of the various harmful substances and perhaps PFAS in particular.

What about the nutrients in the waste? Why not compost it, capture the methane offgassing, and store that?

Jättefint! Vart där som barn med skolan, får flashbacks till kolsvart pinnbröd.

If you have a mostly Gnome system then you can make sure to run these lines when you login:

dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/color-scheme "'prefer-dark'"
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/gtk-theme "'Adwaita-dark'"

I have two simple shell scripts, prefer-light and prefer-dark that I run when I want to switch:

❯ cat $(which prefer-dark)
#!/nix/store/xy4jjgw87sbgwylm5kn047d9gkbhsr9x-bash-5.2p37/bin/bash

dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/color-scheme "'prefer-dark'"
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/gtk-theme "'Adwaita-dark'"

❯ cat $(which prefer-light)
#!/nix/store/xy4jjgw87sbgwylm5kn047d9gkbhsr9x-bash-5.2p37/bin/bash

dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/color-scheme "'prefer-light'"
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/gtk-theme "'Adwaita'"

If you want to go deeper and also affect Qt applications and such, then you can always look at the Home Manager source code to see the files that it writes when you follow the tutorials.

Could be that Mel stands in a ring looking down while the camera is pointing up...

I use FitoTrack for running and hiking and am very happy with it.

This is awesome, openstreetmap is such a great resource!

I congratulate you on the dullness of this post, and the new underwear.

Caught doing 0.75 km/h in a 0.5 km/h zone.

Wow, beautiful!
