This climbing aloe has been in its pot for a couple of years. It lives inside during the cooler months and outside in the sun during the warm ones. It had a trellis until today when I removed it due to the plant not really climbing the trellis.

I'm thinking a couple things to improve the situation here:

  1. Repot it into something broader but not as deep, unless the roots are that deep.
  2. Perhaps a bit better drainage.
  3. A trellis that's closer to the plants height, can handle the weight, and isn't 6 feet tall.

What's your rating? Thoughts on how to improve this situation?

Is this FM over-modulation?
  • Indeed. Unfortunately those fancy features aren't available on vhf/uhf with this radio. Only the hf bands have those options.

  • Listening to a local repeater and the waterfall display shows some pretty wide modulation whenever the repeater is in use. If I'm showing +/- 50kHz on the scope then the repeater's bandwidth is frequently 20+ even 60+ kHz.

    Given that FM voice bandwidth is typically less than 15 kHz, this would indicate a failure somewhere on the repeater tx side of things right?

    Looking for some HVAC suggestions to better cool my stifling second floor
  • I've never seen manual dampers that smart. 🤷 Give closing up downstairs a shot and if your evaporator turns into a block of ice, well, then you let it thaw and know your need more air flow.

    Owners of a domain, which domain registrar did you choose and why?
  • Gandi did something in the last year or two that made me migrate off them. Don't remember what it was but it was a deal breaker.

    Edit: found it further down in the thread. They even migrated to porkbun like I did! https://lemmy.world/comment/8536944

    Recommendations for lightweight wiki servers?
  • You said you liked the look of wiki.js but didn't say what you didn't like (unless I was missed it). Why not just use wiki.js? If you want permissions you'll likely end up with other features like editing too.

  • Picture taken straight from my account at TreasuryDirect. I know that i-bond interest rates reset every 6 months but it looks like bonds issued in April and October get special treatment? Seeing this, I'm not sure why I wouldn't just make two purchases a year, only in April and October, and reap almost double the gains? I feel like I'm missing something obvious here.
