Everyone’s usual go-to for making a new repo and storing code is Github, and it has loads of upsides, but if you don’t want that code publicly accessible, then you need to pay up. If you’re working on a solo project, and just want version history, branching, and peace of mind from having the code…
I purchased this Presto Dehydro many years ago and have used it a few times. It works, and I thought I would be okay with the single temperature, but it was ultimately just disappointing.

Growing indoors, I am eventually plagued by spider mites at least once a season. It’s always discouraging when those small strands start appearing between branches. I usually start a new internet search, re-reading all the things I’ve already tried before, hoping to find something new. I tried all the concoctions that are safe for use…
