Things pertaining to life: plants and animals, gardening, cooking, food, botany, zoology, farming, ranching, wildlife, genetics, plant breeding, software, media, etc.
The purpose of this post is to list all of the following products with lightless displays that I find:
* Computer monitors
* Laptops (and similar)
* Android tablets
* Android smartphones
but not the following:
* E-readers
* Non-Android tablets/phones
Here's what I know about, so far:
* Hisense A7 CC (a Chinese color E-ink Android 10 smartphone, with bluetooth; it costs between $400 and $600; it has a backlight: I don't know if you can turn it off)
* Dasung-Paperlike (an E-ink computer monitor; it costs about $1,000)
* Probably other Hisense E-ink products
* Computer monitors
* Laptops (and similar)
* Android tablets
* Android smartphones
but not the following:

The above article is about African nightshades in sub-Saharan Africa, and it's fascinating. It mentions some of Solanum retroflexum's nutritional value (its leaves in particular). I only refer to Solanum retroflexum as wonderberries. The other nightshades are something else.
However, it should be noted that wonderberries are improved, and that they were bred in the USA, by Luther Burbank. They're not a wild species. I'm sure they'd flourish in Africa, though! They certainly flourish in my garden (while two kinds of Solanum nigra had trouble in it).

So, someone wished us a happy World Cat Day, today (and the same time last year, if I remember right).
I looked it up, and Google kept telling me it wasn't today (but that it was August 8th). I did the same thing last year (to no avail at the time); this year, I discovered the problem:
It's National Cat Day, today--not World Cat Day (World Cat Day is August 8th). The nuances don't end there, however:
1. World Cat Day is also known as International Cat Day (which looks very similar to National Cat Day).
2. National Cat Day is celebrated in multiple countries.
So, there you go! You can celebrate cats twice a year.

The article above talks about how taking ketones (I'm not sure which kind or what amounts) three times a day for fourteen days helped to improve things like working memory, processing speed, and brain circulation (blood flow to the brain) in obese individuals.

This essentially says that Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes produce a milk-like substance for their young (and sacrifice themselves in the process). It's very interesting. They think this might have implications for slowing human aging.

This language looks pretty awesome. Basically, it's a low-level language wrapped in a high-level language (Lua), and it has access to C libraries.
So, you in your code, you have Lua code on the outside, Terra code within special Terra functions, and you can access C within those Terra functions.
It's pretty awesome. It would be great if they also made something like this with Python instead of Lua, with binaries compiled for arm processors (such as for use on Termux or a Raspberry Pi). And, it would be great if they compiled Terra for arm processors, too, and coordinated with Termux, so you could install it with the package manager.

Most of the forums on this site are being converted into Nabble's News format (as opposed to their forum format). This allows the topics view to be largely unnecessary and has some other benefits.
A few forums (such as the one for links, and the support forums) are remaining in the forum format.
All the forums are already converted, except for some of the Taxa forums; there are so many of those that it'll take a while, and it's not high priority (I'll probably change them as I post in them).

Here's an awesome extensible MUD server for Python:
https://github.com/Frimkron/mud-pi
You don't have to use it to make MUDs, of course. It appears that you could use it to easily make text-based, interactive websites with user accounts and stuff (but yeah, telnet's not secure; so, you probably don't want to do that if the information is sensitive).

1. Install Termux.
2. On Termux, type `pkg install openssh`.
3. On your Xubuntu desktop open a command-line and type `sudo apt install openssh-server` (if it's not already installed and running).
4. On Termux, type `ssh -Y [Your username]@[Your desktop computer's IP Address]` where your username is the same username you log into your computer normally with.
5. It will prompt you for a password; that's the password that you normally log into your computer with.
Then it should work, and you should be able to use the command-line of your desktop computer from your Android tablet.
Here's an example command one might type for item #4:
`ssh radishrain@192.168.0.3`
To test if your ssh daemon is running properly on your desktop, type one of the following:
* sudo systemctl status ssh
* sudo service ssh status
If you want to SSH into Termux from your desktop, you can do this:
On Termux:
* sshd (to launch the ssh daemon)
* Create a password to use when logging into Termux, on Termux: passwd mypassword
* whoami (to get your username)
* ifconfig (to get your ip address)
From you desktop:
* ssh myTermuxUserName@myIPAddress -p8022

Ki is a command-line Python program that assists you in navigating the Linux command-line quickly and efficiently. It should assist with the following tasks:
* Quickly finding and opening files, even if they're in complex directory structures, even if you don't know where they are, even if you don't know the *exact* name. The default setting is to only open one file at a time, but you can make it open all the files with that name if you really want.
* Creating files (in the directory with the most-recently accessed file) that aren't in your current working directory.
* Making a project that resembles an index or glossary wherein each file has a unique name.
* Creating hypertext fiction without a lot of navigation and file-creation overhead.
* Working with encrypted files. (You can passphrase-protect files, open them and such.) This functionality requires GNU Privacy Guard to be installed.
Ki has lots of options, which you can customize. It saves settings for many options.
You can use asterisk wildcard characters when opening files (but not question mark wildcards). So, if you have a file called `my super long and hard to type file.ki` you could just type `ki *super long*` and it should find and open it (unless there's another match that it opens instead). Asterisk wildcards match omitted characters.
One of Ki's features is base directories. Normally, Ki just searches the current working directory and all its subdirectories (recursively). However, if you're in a base directory structure, then Ki will search from the top of the base directory for files, instead of the current working directory. If you're not in a base directory, it'll search from the current working directory (or the default directory, if you have one enabled). You can make any directory a base directory as long as it's not within another base directory structure.
Ki opens most files with Nano, by default. Nano is a command-line text editor. If you're wondering, 'Why Nano?', it's because Nano is pretty nice (compared to every other option, IMO) when you're on an Android tablet using Termux, especially when you're using Ki. Nano has a learning curve, if you're used to GUI-based editors, but it doesn't take that long to learn if you have the information you need; same for multitasking in Termux.
To install Ki, you'll need to download the file called `ki`. On your first run, do `python3 ki -u` and follow the prompts to install it (use `sudo python3 ki -u` if you're not on Termux). Thereafter, you should be able to just type `ki` without manually invoking Python, and it should be in your path.
`xscheme.ki` is an xapps scheme you can optionally install with `ki --xload xsceheme.ki`. An xapps scheme is a scheme of apps used to run files of various extensions.
To learn how to use Ki, do `ki --help`.
