Do you have any particular way of organizing the links themselves? I've moved to hosting all my bookmarks in Obsidian as well and am curious as to how others go about it

How To Make Clay At Home (It's Just Dirt) (youtu.be)
 

Video notes

Clay is just dirt. Clay can be found in the cracked soil texture or on tire tread tracks.

If the harvested clay is gritty (full of rocks and other impurities) it can be filtered through a regular strainer screen after adding water. After settling for an hour, decant and move into cloth and let dry.

Good clay can be dry processed by just gently pound into powder.

Levigation is continuous decanting after adding water until left with good clay. The resulting good clay can then be left to dry in a trough, for example.

All clay shrinks when it dries, so it needs temper added, which is non plastic material practically: crushed up pottery (clay after firing), volcanic ash or just sand, most common. A good mix is around 20% temper.

A bunch of handy survival guides I found online. Some are not necessarily related to living off the grid, but useful nonetheless.

A useful resource for living OffTheGrid. I especially like the greywater section which I hope to implement in my homestead.

A good place to get started? (lemmy.world)
 

Hello everyone.

I recently learned on this very community about SOTA and immediately fell in love with the concept because it combined my two favorite things: hiking and technology/radio. Problem is, I don't actuatlly have any formal knowledge or qualification, but I would very much like to start learning.

I don't know the exact laws about ham radio in my country (Romania) but I will look them up if that helps.

Thank you in advance for anything.

How is a company like Reddit “not profitable” yet? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] eduardm@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

This is the simple, plain truth right here. There is no other way to "fix" the internet now. It's all infected with freemium and shitty subscription based services.

iPhone 5G standalone and reliability in the countryside? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] eduardm@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I apologize, my comment was not very clear. Normally, a (good) phone should automatically optimize for the best signal, regardless whether it's 5G, LTE or anything else. If you do experience frequent signal loss, just disable 5G. Most areas do have LTE coverage, at the least 3G.

So, yes, if you're asking whether it's right to disable 5G, in this case, you have no choice. (Which, again, is wrong, the phone should do it's job in the first place)

I believe for iPhones you can turn off 5G in settings, as OP stated they did, but that would negate the whole advantage. Even so, isn't 4G (or even 3G) more battery friendly?

Is there a food that is cheap, delicious and healthy at the same time? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] eduardm@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I don't even like french fries that much. Steamed potates, or baked ones by the campfire, I'm all in.

Well, something being delicious is subjective, but if we assume a "general acceptance" of most delicious foods, potatoes could fit easily. They can be cooked in all kinds of ways, are very nutritious and, again, pretty much everyone says they're delicious.

What niche phone features would appeal to you? in c/android@lemmy.world

I wish. I will get my hands on one though... Someday

An OEM FM/AM transmitter. I would love to be able to playback music directly to any old ass car. Or even use it as a very short range walkie talkie with the right program.
