My native purple poppy mallow (Callirhoe involucrata) is starting pop. Keeps over-flowing the bed & the driveway so I have to cut it back a lot but it responds well to pruning. Proud to say I started it from seed 3 yrs ago.

Uh, uh, Bsky is sooo "decentralized" 😆
Don't make me laugh
If it's truly self-hosted, you could run a working instance on an offline sub net without use of the internet 🤷
@Beachbum
So why and how does BS circumvent so successfully that they are federated, decentralized and open source?
Why don't I find clear explanations on what BS is and what BS isn't? It would help me spreading the Fediverse.
@voorstad @Beachbum Well, in short.. Bsky uses the AT proto (docs.bsky.app/docs/advanced-gu…) and technically you can setup a "server" where you can host your own Sbky profile data, so the "data" is owned by yourself
But for much of the network to even function, like exachanging info (followers,following,posts,etc) it needs to go via their servers
Mastodon for example uses ActivityPub to communicate directly to another instance without the need of a service from Mastodon corp so to say

The AT Protocol is made up of a bunch of pieces that stack together. Federation means that anyone can run the parts that make up the AT Protocol themselves, such as their own server.docs.bsky.app
Minneapolis. We've clawed our way to Friday. June 13. Furnace just clicked on.
53℉. Rain Fog/Mist. Visibility 5 miles at the airport.
Cruel summer.
OK. Kidding. So it's not beach weather.
Prefer this to the usual hot, humid, corn-sweaty weather we get here in the City of Lakes.
- Widespread showers and thunderstorms will slowly move east across the area into Friday afternoon.
- Heaviest rain is expected in central MN where 3 to 4 inches could fall. Localized areas of +5 inches are possible.
- The active pattern will continue, with chances for rain each day. The next round of substantial rainfall looks likely Tuesday/Wednesday night week.

Aren't those gorgeous! The species is also called "wine cup". This particular flower is a bit splayed out but the petals are typically more vertical and overlap more creating a cup shape. Not technically a poppy but in the hyacinth family but I love the French version of "poppy" too 👍.
