Encoding/decoding. If something exists, it has a 25% chance of harboring a hidden message.

Mr_Blott,

I no list Alps what chess can fleester fields of the nephilim

turkelton,

Do you look at art and try to decode?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

A lot of times, yes. With surprising results.

For example, a form of letter substitution was made where different squiggle combinations were different letters, made so that a drawing can be drawn and the code could be visible in the lined drawing’s lines, making sure the code was made in such a way that it could be used no matter what was being drawn.

Colors, shapes, sizes, noise, measurements, anything that can be distinguished into forms and types is potentially someone’s communicating.

turkelton,

Oh cool - can you share the name of that work/those works?

I actually meant less “encrypted” artworks, but more “regular” works, where you would wonder the artists intent or try see what feelings the artwork can offer and why it works.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I could give the code, but not the works. I actually forgot what the works were with that (I looked).

shinigamiookamiryuu,

In exactly sixty seconds, I’ll post a relevant image to this page on this thread.

gwkt,

I think it could be interesting to encode messages into the DNA of an ant, for example, then mail the ant somewhere so that the receiver can sequence the DNA and decode the message

shinigamiookamiryuu,

That’s been done, though it’s much harder to do on living things because attempting to change the DNA of something that’s still alive opens up a can of worms that makes it not worth it. They’ve once proved you can encode the whole of Wikipedia on a few strands of hair.

PlantDadManGuy,

Bonsai

Mr_Mope,

I’ve started watching how to videos about bonsai lately. I’ve alway been curious but the time to grow and keeping the trees alive always seems intimidating.

Plus the folks who do this professionally seem to repot semi regularly and cut away a ton of roots. Everytime I’ve tried to repot something, I’ve killed it.

PlantDadManGuy,

Bonsai is a wonderful hobby and it can be as easy or as difficult as you want to make it. Check out the subreddit for helpful beginner info. Don’t get discouraged, 99% of people kill their first two or three trees. I’ve posted here but the community is non-existent. Look for a local gardening club to point you in the right direction. Chinese elms are probably the best beginner tree hands down.

Okay… Could you be a little more specific?

U know, laptoping and that.

Anything related to computers in general from building them to programming and simply using them. I’m a big fan of open source software and linux.

MigratingtoLemmy,

I hate that Framework doesn’t support Coreboot yet. That’s perhaps the only laptop brand I’d be willing to spend $1000 on to purchase a laptop from, but unless they act on it I’m not buying anything from them. Unfortunately, System76 isn’t really present outside the US, which makes it a real pickle I’m in

noroute,
MigratingtoLemmy,

Lol, that’s a laptop that looks like a thinkpad but with ARM instead. No thanks, even Purism laptops is better than that (except shipping to outside the US)

Oh really? We could hardly tell, you should spam more linux question to this community.

Come on man, don’t discourage more content and discussion. Besides, three posts is hardly spamming.

OP didn’t spam any Linux questions to this community. Am I missing something? OP literally has 4 posts he ever made and only one of them is about Linux

My hobby turned into my career. I have been slowly Imagineering an entire VR Theme Park.

Leg,

That sounds badass!

Immersive_Matthew,

It has been the most rewarding work experience of my life. Still seems like a dream. I hope everyone can find their passion as AI frees up our time.

marx2k,

Sourdough breads, brewing beer and wine, growing mushrooms, hydroponics, soapmaking, brewing kombucha, making kefir (both kinds), growing marijuana, back yard chickens, gardening, growing sprouts for weekly harvest…

Last night I pondered out loud about a getting a bigger house to get more room for hobbies :/

Adramis,

hydroponics

Do you have any recommendations for a beginners guide?

Obi,
@Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

I don’t have a guide but a simple rockwool system is great and pretty easy to manage. Results are explosive.

marx2k,

Search “kratky system”. For real i mix 5 gallons of nutrient solution, put it into a 5 gallon bucket, drop 3 plants into that bucket and do nothing else…

This is 2 buckets, 6 plants in front of my grow tent with a 16oz bottle for scale.

Mr_Blott,

Can we all come and live with you? We’ll help out

marx2k,

I need a BIGGER house, not smaller!

Obi,
@Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

Well if we all participate we can get a bigger house. I feel like a commune is forming.

marx2k,

I’m totally down for that

MigratingtoLemmy,

That’s just brilliant. I was interested in hydroponics too, but quickly realised that economically speaking, I’d be better off purchasing my vegetables anyway.

I’d love to learn how to make sauces though

DrRatso,

Bouldering and running are the things I find I want to sink most of my free time into lately. Secondary to that it is general strength and yoga excercises.

I’m a sucker for a good book, recently read the Dune series, it was fantastic.

Then of course music (rap, hip-hop, rock), podcasts (too many to list or keep up with properly, really).

Video games used to be big, but these days nothing really tickles my pickle. I used to be mostly into PvP (first few seasons of league, speedrunners, MW2, Battlerite, Omega Strikers) but these days it is rare to find good ones, single-player stuff rarely catches my attention enough to sink hours in. Usually nothing I try these days lasts more than 2-3 times playing it.

chrizzowski, (edited )

I always find climbing and running to be such complimentary activities. Strength and cardio both covered between the two of them, and at their core all you really need is a pair of shoes for each.

DrRatso,

Yes, the barrier for entry is so low. You can even run barefoot if you are so inclined (I do experiment with this). Granted climbing can become expensive-ish if you want to do regular climbing. But bouldering is very cheap to get into.

Plus there is something so primal about running and climbing. Like these are the things we are supposed to be good at, it is how we are meant to move in some sense. It feels so empowering to know you can run for X time/distance or that you can climb a wall this hard…

Mr_Mope,

Chapterhouse: Dune is legit my favorite book of all time. The series is my favorite series but I love how bat shit crazy everything is after Children.

chrizzowski,

Photography, mostly landscapes. Something satisfying about capturing the essence of a beautiful view and being able to share it with others who couldn’t be there to savour the moment. Sometimes a fancy digital camera, sometimes old timey film cameras my grandpa got me into. I’m also into backpacking, climbing, splitboarding, and otherwise just spending time in the mountains so there’s no shortage of views to capture.

Obi,
@Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

I use cameras for a living and basically never shoot anything for fun anymore (if anything I’m shooting for my portfolio if I’m not getting paid), because there’s just no joy in it anymore, but landscapes are the exception I’ll always feel happy with getting photos of footage of the beautiful places I visit.

ink, (edited )

Mine is drawing. I’ve had other hobbies and have other things that I enjoy doing, but drawing is the most engaging thing for me. Your standards always outpace your ability, so there’s never a moment when you feel like you’ve accomplished everything you could’ve accomplished. There’s always something new to draw or learn about.

Valmond,

Ha ha nice name ^^

So carbon ink or Indian :-D ? I made a community for art in progress !aip to share progress, there are so many parameters and combinations…

So what are you drawing and what are inspiring you most?

ink,

Haha, any kind of ink works for me, as long as I can draw with it! Also, I’m always looking for art communities on Lemmy, so I just joined!

Currently, I’m doing studies of mechanical joints and greebles to improve my ability to draw hard surface stuff (e.g. mechs, vehicles, inorganic constructs), and I’m also drawing a shitpost meme when I need to take a break from studying! :)

Valmond,

Cool! Post as you like, and share other art communities too, IMO we’re all in it together!

Greebles, guess I just learned a new word :-D that seems, hrm, time consuming to say the least O_o when can we see an example?

Cheers

Planting trees.

PlantDadManGuy,

Do you own a lot of land or do you go full vigilante and just drop seedlings wherever you please?

despotic_machine,
@despotic_machine@lemmy.world avatar

Both 😆 . I started with guerilla gardening, noticed trees are left alone more than small plants, then eventually bought some land where I now have about a thousand trees, some were there, most I have planted. It’s a permaculture-ish food forest incorporating regenerative Ag and carbon capture in the making.

I have a little nursery area where I sprout seeds and grow seedlings of all kind of trees and bushes and give them away and plant them wherever I can.

Going by your username, you also get your hands dirty. What’s your focus?

Suck_on_my_Presence,

TTRPGs! I’m currently playing in 3-4 games a week, GMing two of those. It’s definitely my escapism as well, but at least it’s fun

Rhynoplaz,

I’d love to! But it’s so hard to organize.

I’m stuck with video games for now.

Wargaming. It’s given me a social life. I’ve developed new skills like painting. It has side hobbies like 3d printing. Hopefully I can make it a career too. I’ve always dabbled with 3d software like Blender. Three months ago I took the leap to learning 3d sculpting with the plan to release my own designs for miniatures. I really wanna make my own Dark Elves for The Old World.

That’s sick! There are many fantasy ranges in 3d that imho are even better than GWs, and they are gonna explore im popularity with old world. Last Sword are my favorite, so much character.
