F-droid is telling me that there is a security vulnerability in Mull. Does anyone know what it is? F-droid doesn't provide details, and I can't find anything relevant on Mull's side either. I am assuming it is some out-of-date library but would like to know the risk?

I assumed that Gboard spell checker contacted servers constantly and have it switched off for whatever good that does. I recently tried enabling it to play with other options and noticed that it works when my phone is entirely offline.

Does anyone know if it works locally or does it just send a bunch of data out once I give it internet access again?

Bonus question: Does anyone know of a privacy respecting spell checker for android? It looks like Florisboard can work with Hunspell through Nuspell but not on Android. Is that right?

Just interesting and a nostalgic watch.

I never scrolled down that far on the page.

This plant works hard to clean the water I keep out for wildlife. This one grabbed up so much nitrogen/phosphorus that it got pot bound in one year. I split it in half so each half has twice as much room to grow this year.

tldr: urban woodland edges around Boston are accumulating carbon faster than expected because the soil microbiome is less functional than in more rural systems. How long that will work as a C sink is unknown.

I thought I would throw this out to everyone in an easy way after seeing this post https://lemmy.ca/post/76405

What do you think the lemming mascot of Lemmy should be called? Top level comments should just be the name.

This is one of the best tasting and easiest things I make. If you don't want to buy harissa you can make your own pretty easily and keep the cost down. The measurements don't need to be precise at all, so I only translated to metric using numbers I thought I could multiply in my head. Let me know if I made a mistake.

Ingredients

For cooking

3-5 quarts water or veggie stock (4-6 L)

2 cups dried chickpeas (0.5 L)

Kosher salt and ground black pepper (to taste)

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (75 mL)

1 large yellow onion, chopped

6 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons tomato paste (30 mL)

2 tablespoons ground cumin, toasted (30 mL)

6 tablespoons harissa (90 mL)

2 tablespoons lemon juice (30 mL)

For Toppings

8 ounces (250 g) crusty bread (stale works), sliced 1/2-inch-thick (1cm)and torn into bite-size pieces

2 tablespoons lemon juice (30 mL)

Extra-virgin olive oil

Harissa

2 tablespoons ground cumin, toasted (30 mL)

1/2 cup drained capers (120 mL)

1/2 cup chopped pitted green olives (120 mL)

1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (120 mL)

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (120 mL)

Lemon wedges

Method

Cook olive oil, onion, garlic cloves, tomato paste, ground cumin, harissa, salt, and black pepper in a pot on medium until the onions soften. Add chickpeas and water/stock and cook until the beans are done - 1 hr or so. Reduce or add water until it is as thick as you want it. I like it as a very thick stew. Stir in lemon juice once everything is cooked and remove from heat.

Toss bread cubes in olive oil and toast on stove or in oven. Remove when toasted but before they get hard. Or use them untoasted if, like me, you don't want to wash another dish.

To serve put some bread cubes in a bowl and laddle the stew over them. Add the toppings in the ingredient list.

The stew portion freezes well, so you can scale the recipe up if you want some for next week too.

I have been running lineageOS on my OnePlus 2. I liked it, but Lineage has stopped supporting my phone. There are two options that I have been able to find as replacements - postmarketOS and /e/OS. Any thoughts on those or other recommendation? Anything that gets security updates, is open source, and is functional meets my needs.

Here is a video demonstrating how to make inari (tofu pouches filled with rice). Sushi purists might take issue with some of his technique, but they probably don't need to watch this anyways :)
