@sysadmin There's a discussion ongoing [1] about whether to add mastodon.mg to the fediverse.party list of small instances [2].

For @lightone and me, it seems that new account registration is currently not working on mastodon.mg as of today. Do you know if this will be fixed soon? You can reply here or directly at Codeberg [1] - decision-making is transparent so you're welcome to participate.

The human imposition of monoculture on nature, in this case 🔸the tyranny of the suburban lawn🔸 is a profound trauma to an ecosystem.
A suburban landscape usually begins as farmland or recovering farmland whose soil structure has been deeply damaged by commercial agricultural practice.
Years of being crushed beneath the weight of heavy farm equipment compacts the soil, disrupting its ability to hold water.
Soil nutrients, and sometimes even organic matter, have been exhausted, and the mycorrhizal fungi symbiotes that transfer water and nutrients to plant roots have been disrupted by annual tilling. Insect and weed pests, evolved to be indifferent to chemical controls, abound.

When residential developers purchase such land, the first thing they do is strip it bare-assed naked by bulldozing the topsoil away (which they sell to landscaping companies who make you, the homeowner, buy it back in bags).
The exposed clay is further compacted to hard-pan beneath the treads of the bulldozers.
The streets are laid, the houses are built, and the entire neighborhood is landscaped with a few dozen alien and even invasive, commercially available cultivars that can tolerate such blighted conditions.
Then insult of insults, landscaping companies lay sod directly on top of clay scraped bare of its original fertility.

Now the homeowner has to pay good money to continually water grass planted on clay that can no longer sequester water.
Now the homeowner has to pay good money, annually, to fertilize the lawn with nitrogen (which runs off in the rainwater that can’t be sequestered by the hard-pan clay).
Now the homeowner has to pay good money to poison the very plants evolved to repair disturbed ecosystems: dandelions, plantain, violets, clover, lamb’s quarters, purslane, and sorrel.

- Summary: The paper discusses GDlog, a GPU-accelerated deductive engine that improves performance in deductive database engines. GDlog utilizes a range-indexed SIMD data structure called the hash-indexed sorted array (HISA) and achieves significant speed enhancements compared to prior systems, making it more efficient for large-scale deductive queries.
