i am not into gardening much, but your photos look great. You seem to have a good microscope, maybe you can buy some stains (not very expensive unless you buy good stuff to quantise) and even do some charecterisation.

From what I got, you have a mildly basic master batch, which you dilute. Regular tap water should not have a pH more than 9-10, and if you want the final batch to be neutral, then you need your master batch to have a pH of roughly 3-4. Since you have a mostly basic master batch (kOH in reasonable concentration alone would make it 13+). Most other salts would be mostly neutral. I dont know what phosphorus form you are using, if its phosphorus oxide (P2O3 or P2O5, though latter is very unlikely) then mildly acidic, if Calcium phosphate then mildly basic. If you target for a pH of 8-9 or plants (I dont think any higher would be suitable, though depends on plants, can you check for any residue (salts) on plant parts, if so, your stuff is way to basic).

Getting back on point, purely to get rid of any live growth, you can add anything which generates free radicals (peroxides (hydrogen, or sodium or potassium), or iodine (you can get tinctures), or even ozone (you can buy ozonator, somewhat expensive), or if you want to set something up, just perform some electrolysis in portions of master batch, but please ensure you don’t inhale stuff. And electrolysis will make system more basic.

My bigger question is, is this growth really problematic or not, if plant health is not getting hampered, i would not actually do anything, and maybe add some small amount of worms (if in soil, then even earth worms work). They can feed on this growth, and help in tilling.

Again, I am a gardening noob, and not a chemist, so what I may have said may as well be shit, please feel free to correct me.

happy you are all good. Some people who are not well find there lives to be lacking, and long for some imaginary things. And sometimes just asking directly helps

sorry, but your comment felt slightly depressing, just wanted to ask you if you are well

you seem slightly sad, wanna discuss?

i would believe this, if the physics in our dreams stays consistent, which it does not

i did not necessarily me mean our as in the person who is dreaming, our as in mostly humans, it is like a diorama we run, not exactly playing sims in our mind

i dont really have anything to add or ask, but appreciate what seems like unicode character in your username.

i may be wrong here, but if i remember correctly, in ech, essentially our first communication is done with some central server (which as of now is mostly cloudflare) and then they make some connection with target server, and then a channel is established between us and target. my google-fu brought me this , which is basically this only

I am unfamiliar with QUIC, and quick search basically tells it is kinda like multilane highway for udp.

If I have to compare, (not a network engineer or a person who has studied networking, to me anything beyond the simple protocols seems magic), QUIC seems like a techt which is only used after you have made connection with target, so its implementation is google independent (they seem to be lead developers for this). Whereas in ECH, cloudflare are the primary devs, but also the holder for the public keys (someone else can also be the holder, but i dont know of any other provider currently, maybe my lack of knowledge here)

Essentially just an extension of your point that implementation is lacking

if i am not wrong, it is because essentially both are same (slight differences in what is allowed and what is not, https://github.com/IJMacD/rfc3339-iso8601), but RFC is more free as in freedom

for me, currently the problem is over reliance on Cloudflare, which is yet another big tech company

that seems to be a solvable problem, you can add pretty good fail proof (read resistant) valves. And the retraction can be controlled to never let any fuel come back, so even if the hoses catch fire, they would pretty quickly dry out. Combined with good sensors, these could outperform modern stuff in theory. (or atleast I believe so)

I can’t think of any downsides, besides the increased construction cost (not really sure how much increase, considering the ground space required is less, and no digging, but designing hanging fuel tanks, maybe about 1-2 tons of fuel would be hard) and limit on the capacity stored. Why were they discontinued? Was the disaster risk any higher. My initial guess it that any body driving and smashing the pumps is not present anymore, they are built high enough to not be hit by trucks.

it maybe, but i dont think so, most animals dont go out of their ways to breed with same species from far off, especially if the said species forms communities. I think the simpler logic is - boredom - the people you grow up watching everyday become the normal, and if someone new comes, you curiosity gets to it

the safety factor got me
