[07:39:34]<symbioquine[m]>Remember all plants(/species) were invasive or aggressive out-competitors at (at least) one point in their history 🤓
[08:48:58]<symbioquine[m]>ACTION uploaded an image: (2950KiB) < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/matrix.org/brKvnlsGLIpFHmIC... >
[08:51:06]<symbioquine[m]>That's after ~4 years outside south-facing in a field. Printed with a standard laser printer. (The QR code itself has been replaced with a dummy version for privacy/security reasons, but the real version is still scannable and you can get an idea of how well the text has weathered from the "L8" part.)
[08:53:43]<aislinnpearson[m]><mstenta[m]> "Maybe a happy medium would be to..." <- I recommend this software for recording steps Mike (of that is relevant to this discussion) https://folge.me/
[09:34:00]<P[m]><fosten[m]> "For those who like native plants..." <- Oh, I've had "the nature of oaks" on my wishlist for a while now. Which book do you recommend from him?
[09:34:53]<P[m]><symbioquine[m]> "Remember all plants(/species..." <- "native to when?" and at what point do you shift?!
[09:35:14]<mstenta[m]>life is an invasive species!
[09:35:27]<mstenta[m]>😉
[09:35:54]<mstenta[m]>all the rocks were perfectly happy before we came along
[09:37:11]<symbioquine[m]>We "just" need to make sure we're thinking forward rather than backwards (w.r.t. climate change) when we use "is this native" as a tool for stewarding land.
[09:39:00]<symbioquine[m]>Acknowledging, obviously, that humans have a terrible track record with the effects of our introduction/eradication of species on ecosystems.
[09:42:57]<P[m]><mstenta[m]> "all the rocks were perfectly..." <- That's got some real 'Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" vibe to me.
[12:14:52]<mstenta[m]>farmOS 3.2.0 blog post for review: https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS-community-blog/pull/27
[12:15:02]<mstenta[m]>(farmOS 3.2.1 release coming soon too....)
[13:05:13]<symbioquine[m]>ACTION uploaded a video: (2360KiB) < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/matrix.org/MlyIhEnnzqxDXuNf... >
[13:10:43]<sj-techjorblad[m]>Looks really promising 👍
[13:12:28]<fosten[m]><P[m]> "Oh, I've had "the nature of oaks..." <- All of them! Bringing Nature Home is great. Our county Master Gardener group brought him in to discuss his latest book Nature's Best Hope.
[13:13:29]<mstenta[m]>daaaang that's slick
[13:18:44]<symbioquine[m]>Right now it's a custom plugin we're using in our farmOS instance, but I'd like to release it for other folks to use sometimes
[13:19:05]<symbioquine[m]>*sometime soon
[13:20:06]<symbioquine[m]>I don't know how much other folks plant blocks within their beds/fields though...
[13:21:21]<mstenta[m]>I would use this!
[13:21:38]<symbioquine[m]>It should be pretty easy to generalize that logic a bit to model row plantings too - so I imagine that might make it a good fit for market garden kinds of operations.
[13:22:02]<mstenta[m]>Is this decrementing inventory too?
[13:22:10]<mstenta[m]>How does the "seed source" bit work?
[13:22:54]<symbioquine[m]>In this case it isn't since we're not tracking inventory for our garlic
[13:23:37]<symbioquine[m]>But it has that capability when we plant from specific seed assets instead of just a plant type.
[13:26:47]<symbioquine[m]>mstenta[m]: You can either specify a seed to plant from or just a plant type term - in the former case the seed weight is required and is used to decrement the inventory of that seed asset.
[13:28:22]<mstenta[m]>interesting!
[13:37:04]<symbioquine[m]>It does bake-in some of our conventions and I'm not sure if I ever plan to vend it as a default Asset Link plugin, but I'm open to the idea of converging on some version that could be included in Asset Link by default.
[13:37:39]<mstenta[m]>Yea makes me wonder: is it possible for an asset link plugin to alter another asset link plugin?
[13:37:55]<mstenta[m]>eg: if a "generic" plugin were provided, but you wanted to add some customizations on top
[13:47:48]<symbioquine[m]>Yes, there are two main ways that can occur...
[13:48:37]<symbioquine[m]>https://symbioquine.github.io/farmOS_asset_link/tutorial-extension-model...
[13:49:28]<mstenta[m]>Wow this documentation has come a long way!
[13:49:41]<symbioquine[m]>Yeah
[13:52:20]<mstenta[m]>As a non-Vue.js dev, would you recommend learning some basics before diving into this?
[13:52:55]<symbioquine[m]><symbioquine[m]> "Yes, there are two main ways..." <- The most common way this happens is that pugins can consume "slots" from other plugins.
[13:53:30]<symbioquine[m]>The less common way is that some plugins can be interpreted as data by other plugins.
[13:54:22]<symbioquine[m]>So you could have a yml file defining a convention and another plugin could use that to do useful stuff on its behalf.
[13:59:53]<symbioquine[m]><mstenta[m]> "As a non-Vue.js dev, would you..." <- Not much. But a quick tutorial or two couldn't hurt.
[14:01:10]<symbioquine[m]>I'm also happy to answer questions or make quick demos showing how to accomplish stuff in Asset Link.
[14:01:41]<symbioquine[m]>There's already quite a few of those in the forum too.
