I do have a dehumidifier near the door, but that's been unplugged for a little bit because of reasons I'm not aware of. I've plugged it back in and will turn it on once I finish airing all that out.
I have some plastic sheeting I can place down but was worried if some moisture does make its way between it would essentially be stuck there and make mold grow faster.
I do believe it's just from sweat. Seems like I'll have to pull up the tiles more often than I have been to keep them clean.
Thanks for the response!

Hey all!
I'm currently cleaning out the basement and rearranging some things after my brother in law has moved out. He spent the better part of every afternoon down here working out and (I'm assuming) sweating (figuratively) gallons. I pulled the mats up to move em around and was hit with a deep earthy smell which made me IMMEDIATELY panic. There was only one super dark spot which was immediately washed off with warm soapy water and steel wool. There are other places that don't look too bad, but I am seeing markings on the floor elsewhere that match the pattern of the interlocking mat.
I'd like to keep working out down here, but I'd also like to not cause mold problems in my own house. Can anyone think of a way to essentially insulate the mat from the cement floor without creating a different problem where the plastic bottom ALSO creates an environment for the mold to grow? It's also possible that I'm WAY blowing this out of proportion...
I'll include pics on a follow up post

Do you have any recommended feeds, or ways to find decent feeds?
Not who you asked, but I can talk about what I've done in the past year and some change of "getting into" RSS.

Look for feeds for your hobbies. I'm into a whole bunch of different things that I've essentially just googled feeds for. FIA Rally results, PhillyMesh group updates, a WHOLE BUNCH of webcomics, github releases for projects I'm interested in, popular bloggers often offer RSS feeds, some newsletters are converted to RSS, a whole bunch of sites related to indieweb/slowweb/rss information and discussion, following specific hashtags on Mastodon, look for rss feeds for local newspapers to keep an eye on what's going on around you, meetup.com has (hidden) rss feeds for groups hosted on there, I even have a "read it later" flow similar-ish to how Pocket (rip) works integrated with RSS.
-
If you're looking to have "more content" to use with your reader (more on this later), then there are several aggregators that you can use to look at random rss feed posts. The only one I use right now is indieblog, but there are plenty more. This one has several settings you can select from. I follow the 5 new random posts per day feed to keep it relatively manageable.
-
In the spirit of this thread, I would actually recommend against using RSS to have "more content" to consume. Find a few things you like, follow them, and if you find that you enjoy reading the things that wind up in your inbox, then start expanding some more! I'm getting to the point where I'll probably start cutting back on the feeds that I have to really focus on the high quality or interesting ones. It sucks the fun out of reading these things to feel like you're obligated to read everything that's served to you.
That's the short and sweet of it. If you (or anyone else reading this) have any more questions, I'm happy to answer if I can!

(Checked the about page for Ghostty, it's close enough to my interpretation I feel.)
As far as (q?)uake mode, it does support it, except for Gnome users

You just have a 64 character hash assigned to you when you first start. It's technically public, but hard to guess, so it can be used "as an account". And that's fine for my purposes too. Anyway, the bookmarklet works on firefox desktop, so I'm honestly probably doing something wrong on mobile.

Not too big of an issue though, as I did hack together a small tasker thing that does exactly what I need for the moment and works perfectly... Surprisingly.
EDIT: Using the bookmarklet requires more interaction than just using the share functionality from android which is why I was leaning that way first. If you can get a bookmarklet to work, it sounds like a good workaround if you don't want to use tasker.

Kind of an XY problem, so I'm hoping that I'm just missing something stupid simple.
I found this tool (which is super cool) rss-librarian and I'm looking to make it stupid simple to send things I find on my phone to the url associated with my "account". I already have a bookmarklet set up in firefox on my laptop.
First thought was that I could use the "share" ability to simply share a cool link with a URL, but that seems to require some dev work. Second thought was to use Tasker to script something out, but that's looking to be a medium level of complicated. So, hopefully, there is something simple that I'm missing or don't know about that I could do to use this functionality from my phone.
Any suggestions? If not, I'll have to learn tasker :(

I'm actually doing just that currently. Well, technically I consume my rss feeds using a phone client, but that at least allows me to filter my articles in the way that i like (oldest first). I have FreshRSS set up on my home network and I connect to it using Read You android RSS reader. FreshRSS (is PHP based :/) allows you to set custom sorting and filtering rules from what I remember of my short time going through the docs.

Comment on The Caesaroni - Caesar salad on a pizza roll in ~food

Completely by...I've been following the Sandwich Tribunal's RSS feed for some time now, but have yet to officially try any of the sandwiches they've reviewed. That all changed with "The Caesaroni". Completely by happenstance, I looked at the upcoming sandwiches for the month of November and saw one from Toronto, Canada. What? I was going to Toronto for a wedding that week! What perfect timing!
We get to Toronto on Wednesday, and I immediately start gassing up Vilda's, talking about the sandwich to anyone in my family who will humor me. I annoyed the ever-loving hell out of everyone in that airbnb. Finally, they relented (because the rest of Vilda's menu looked pretty good too) and we got Doordash to grab it for us.
First up, my rating. I would give it a 6.5 out of 10. That doesn't mean much without context about how I rate things, but for the record, I thought it was a solid sandwich. I think it would have been closer to a 7.5 had I been able to eat it fresh at Vilda's but the schedule we were operating on allowed little time to dally. Regardless, they did a bang up job and I'll definitely try to get it fresh if I'm ever in Toronto again.
As an aside, I had an (different) amazing sandwich while I was in Toronto, that I paid a hefty price for. I go to the wedding (previosuly mentioned), enjoy myself, and then get back home absolutely starving because they only had appetizers around instead of a full meal. Oh well.
It's 1 in the morning, I'm drunk as a skunk, and I need something in my belly so that I can make it through the night. Everything I wanted to try my street was closed, so I open up google maps and find Oxtail Pho & Bahn Mi. Drunk me says, "sick" and leaves the house still in my dress shoes, to make the 45 minute round trip to pick up a bahn mi sandwich. My heels still haven't fully scabbed over yet, let alone heeled (heh), but I can say the Bahn Mi I had was a 9 out of 10. So try that one out too if you're in the area.

I'm curious about that chart, I haven't heard anything about a suggested listening path. Would you mind sharing?
I'm a metalhead, so my personal favs out of their discog are 'Infest the Rats nest' and 'Petro-Dragonic Apocalypse', but those obviously aren't "the only good ones". There are some really good songs off their newest two albums as well imo

I really dig the art and the story of this series, especially the story. If anyone's on the fence about trying this out, my recommendation would be to go for it đ
Not to beat a dead horse but I just came back down after letting the fan run, and the squiggly lines have gotten much more defined, and white. I'm back to thinking it was somehow some sweat getting through and the white is the moisture drying up and leaving the salt behind. Which sounds CRAZY but I don't think mold would turn white?
