who is this visitor munching on oregano?

I don't mind the caterpillar eating the Oregano. But I am curious what this is a caterpillar of. I am in Sydney, Australia.

Recommendations for polo shirts

I am getting a bunch of next level t-shirts from jiffy shirts. I would also like to get some polo shirts. Do folks here have recommendations on similar value for money polo shirts? Searching through the archives of , I could only find recommendations for t-shirts and not collared polo shirts.

I am not really looking for BIFL, but something that is generally durable and good value for money.

Using clover to attract pollinators

How close should the pollinator garden be to the vegetable garden? Will seeding white clover in the grass area around the vegetable garden attract pollinators and improve pollination in the veggie garden? have read recommendation to intersperse flowering plants with the veggies to attract beneficial insects. Would it however have the opposite effect of drawing the pollinators to the more plentiful clover flowers in the lawn and away from the veggie garden?

How to setup hledger csv import rules for credit card statements?

My credit card statement has two kinds of debit entries:

  • Payments from my bank account
  • Refunds from retailers (say because of a return)

In my csv import rule, I have a rule that filters the first item, where I assign account2 to a dummy "transfers" account that I will match payments to from my bank statement.

if %description BPAY PAYMENTS account2 transfers:credit:coles

However, I am not sure how to filter the second category. They show up with seemingly random descriptions. I don't see a way to do an if condition on whether the amount if positive or negative. So all of the refunds get assigned to the default "income:unknown" category. I'd ideally like to assign account2 in this case to something like "transfers:credit:refunds".

Do You Think There Would Have Been a Large Protest if Steve Huffman Just Said We're Charging to Use the API to Increase Revenue?
  • I think it is within the company's right to revenue increasing opportunities. That said I view the slandering of the Apollo creator as the turning point. It was very poor taste and their communication around this has been horrendous. It kick started the migration to the fediverse and a critical mass has adopted it. So now there is no good reason to go back to Reddit even if they reverse their decisions. Heck, had there been a different stimulant to fediverse adoption without any missteps from Reddit, I would still have transitioned my usage to a system where the users are more in control.

  • Slashdot -> Fark -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy
  • I realise that this is unpopular. But personally while I disagree with the decision to charge (exorbitantly) for the api and appalled at the slander hurled at the dev, I think that is an business choice and one more item that I have to disagree and live with.

    But I am very excited about the rise of the fediverse. I know that a company will eventually make a decision that I feel very passionately about, but I will be stuck making a difficult choice. With the fediverse, it provides the users with the opportunity to have control. This power of course often comes with various other costs (lack of a dedicated sre or moderation teams, etc). But I expect that over time this will evolve into options where paid offerings will come up that allows for higher QoS where required.
