Four simple steps to make Linux’s Bash prettier and more functional for non-expert users
Many remote (and even local) commands can executed so much quicker when using Bash instead of graphical user interfaces, but for newer users, Bash can be an unfriendly and cumbersome environment.
In this video I show how, with the installation of just three applications and some alias commands, we can make working with Bash much faster, easier, and prettier!

It is not pretty, but it works perfectly against black flies!
Put a banana peal and some melon seeds in a jar and added some water to it, then put it in a plastic bag with some holes on the room
The black flies move into the bag via the hopes and get stuck 8n the bag.
Got rid of 90% of the fruit flies that were driving me crazy.
It is free, non toxic and convient.

TOMATO AILMENTS + TREATMENTS
It is starting to warm up out there, and important to keep track of any issues with your Tomatoes, and be able to identify and treat the common Tomato plant ailments that might crop up.
1) BLOSSOM END ROT--This is one of the most common ailments, and you can tell if your plants have it by looking at where Tomatoes attach to vine. If the attachment appears brown and leathery between the size of a dime and quarter, than that Tomato has Blossom End Rot.
TO TREAT--You will have to take all the Tomatoes off the plants that are affected, and dispose of them. If you don't, it will spread and to all of them. Calcium is required in relatively large concentrations for normal cell growth. When a rapidly growing fruit is deprived of calcium, the tissues break down, leaving the characteristic lesion at the blossom end. Blossom-end rot develops when the fruit's demand for calcium exceeds the supply in the soil.
This may result from low calcium levels in the soil, drought stress, excessive soil moisture, and/or fluctuations due to rain or over watering. Lime (unless the soil is already alkaline), composted manures or bone meal will supply calcium.
2) BLIGHT--There are 3 stages of Blight. Early Blight is black and grey spots on the leaves when Tomatoes are young. Southern Blight is black and grey spots by stem and roots of the tomato plant. Late Blight gets out of hand, and is black and grey spots throughout the leaves, vines, and tomatoes.
TO TREAT--The easiest way is to treat it in it's early stages by removing the parts of the Tomato plants that are infected.. If you don't notice it until the later stages of Blight, you will need to buy an anti-fungal treatment, or you can make an organic one from home. however,
3) CATERPILLARS-- They love to feed on Tomato plants, and should be taken care of right away.
TO TREAT--– There are many treatments available to fight against caterpillar infestations at your local garden store, but you can make your own safe organic remedies at home. An Apple Cider Vinegar spray can be used to keep them away. You can also plant French Marigolds by your Tomatoes to help deter from from coming around.
4) FRUIT SPLITTING--This can occur when it is dry, and then you get some heavy rains, or most frequently when there is sudden growth in the tomato plant. It doesn't hurt the Tomatoes, or affect you eating them, they just don't look good after that.
TO TREAT--If it occurs early in the Tomato plants growth phase, it can be reversed. Just water and apply nutrients, as normal, so there's no too dry too wet cycle. If it happens near harvest, it can't be reversed.
5) RED SPIDER MITES-- They are hard to spot, and usually are under your leaves. If you notice cobwebs on your Tomato plants, then you definitely have them.
TO TREAT-- You can always buy treatments at the store to take care of them, but better to make your own organic Apple Cider Vinegar spray, soap spray, or Onion and Garlic spray. Coriander, Dill, and Chrysanthemums are good to plant to deter them.
6) WILT--It is a fungal infection that starts in the roots, and blocks most of the water and nutrients from getting to the plant. It usually causes no problems until Tomatoes are growing on the vines. You will first see yellowing and drying of lower leaves, and then whole plant will wilt during hottest period of day. It will recover some at night, but then wilt again next day.
TO TREAT--There really is no treatment when you get wilt that I know of. It is in the soil, so the next time you grow Tomatoes, pick a different spot in the Garden to grow them. It will deprive the Wilt of a host, and it will die out over the next year. Grow seedlings inside in clean soil before transplanting in Spring, and then make sure to pull all weeds that pop up around them.
7) SUN SCORCH-- The skin of your Tomatoes will looked bruised and sunken. It sometimes happens when your Tomatoes get too much sun exposure during a real dry and hot period.
TO TREAT-- Don't do any pruning of leaves during hot periods. The extra leaves will shield the Tomatoes. You can also use shade cloth to cover them during these periods Once they get Sun Scorch, you cannot do anything for the affected fruit, but you can provide shade for the unaffected ones.

#Pluspora Final Days --- Shutdown likely on 1 April 2022
For those who are still on the Pluspora Pod, final shutdown will be imminent in the next days. The planned shutdown date is 1 April 2022 so far as I'm aware.
The announcement and updates are here:
FOLLOW UP ON PLUSPORA POD CLOSURE

Announcement on Diaspora:
"It is with a heavy heart that we come to you with this post."

Things you should do NOW
Create a new profile elsewhere if you have not already. Diasp.org, Glasswings, and several other pods have welcomed well-behaved members. I can offer invites to Glasswings on request.
Tell others where you've gone, and where you've come from. That is, leave a FORWARDING address on your old Pluspora profile, and a PREVIOUS address on your new profile elsewhere. Posts tagged with #SIGNALFLARE will be easier for others to find as well.
If you have any thought that you might want to retain your old posts / content, archive that NOW. Note that given the passing of David Thiery, support for failed exports is unlikely, but you can at least try. Content cannot presently be imported to a Diaspora pod, but may be in the future. I've created numerous tools for working with that data described in posts below.
Federation will preserve at least some of your content on Diaspora*. This means that having followers on other Pods is highly useful. I've explored the possibilities and limits of this further elsewhere.
I've created tools and methods for archiving content, including automated submission of posts to the Internet Archive, and manual submission to Archive Today. Both rely on having a downloaded archive of your older content.
Follower / Block lists are not importable. You'll have to re-establish contact with people generally manually. Given that many Pluspora contacts were on Pluspora itself ... this may be complicated. The regular #Checkin posts are an excellent way to get back in touch with the community.
If you want your Profile Bio Page to be world-readable, you need to set that specifically at /profile/edit. Toggle "Visibility of your extended profile" to "Public".
If nothing else, you can save your Profile page at
https://pluspora.com/u/<username>to the Internet Archive and Archive Today manually by visiting https://web.archive/org/save/ and https://archive.today. Do this after leaving a forwarding address to make your new profile easier to find.Please do NOT delete your profile or posts if you wish for federated copies to remain available elsewhere. Unfortunately this is something of an unclean break. Deleting your profile will delete all your posts / comments to other pods.

Diaspora* Migration & Data Archival: Finding your First Remote-Pod Followers
Federated content is likely to be found on remote pods from which profiles first followed you. You can find your earlierst remote-pod followers by going through your Notifications. Just note the pod.
This content may not be universally available to others, but offers some alternatives to archival in a pinch.
https://diaspora.glasswings.com/posts/feaae8207c8d013a5b1e448a5b29e257
As a reminder: I was not a Pluspora member, though I'd revived my Diaspora* profile with the shutdown of Google+ in 2019, so many, many, many centuries ago... I did move recently from the now-defunct #Joindiaspora pod to my new home on Glasswings.

Here are all the S Pen features and functions on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra because no stylus is just intended for plain writing
The Samsung Galaxy S Ultra lineup officially succeeds the Galaxy Note lineup, meaning that the S Pen is here to stay. In fact, we can even hope to see Samsung’s foldables come with S Pen support and even an integrated S Pen if space allows for it. The Galaxy Note series has its fans who know all about the S Pen and its features. But an integrated S Pen is still new for the S series, and Samsung provides a fair few features that take advantage of the active stylus.
So many people just use a pen or stylus for plain writing. But as I discovered with my iPad’s Pencil, there was a lot more to master in terms of tricks and tips for really useful additional features. What I really like about what Samsung has done, is with their embedding of the pen inside the body of the device/ Very Applish! I mean, who’d magnetically stick a very expensive Pencil on the outside where it can just get bumped off (mind you, I think Samsung did the same with their new Tabs, unlike my old Samsung Tab which also had its stylus embedded)?
S Pen Features covered in this article:
- Screen Off Memo
- Samsung Notes app
- Air Actions
- Smart Select
- Screen Write
- Penup
- Coloring
- Live Messages
- AR Doodle
- Translate
- Magnify
- Glance
- Bixby Vision
- Write on Calendar
