Are you looking for this to be passive income? Or a full time job? Clear cutting a half or full hectare and doing intensive market gardening can almost always turn a profit. But it's a hard industry requiring lots of knowledge and tons of work/time (think 6 days a week for at least half the year).

You can utilize the rest of the forest as sustainable forestry, using the cut wood for wood chips for the farm, and interplanting critical native wildflowers to boost pollinators.

Plenty of space to do an apiary (bee keeping) for extra income selling the honey.

And on the side you can do mushrooms like the other commentor said. It can be a relatively low amount of work once you've mastered the technique.

And all of this can be a net benefit to the land. Losing a few trees can open up a forest to allow better long term growth, increase top soil over time (via organic no-till gardening) and support native pollinators via human-maintained wild spaces.

I get that, and I agree with it in general, but there's literally no company on earth that would approach open source developers with the intent to pay them to work on a closed source product, or to buy out their open source work without having an NDA in place. Hell, even if Meta just wants to pay them to do open source work to support the community, there will still likely be an NDA covering what they can say to the public about the arrangement or anything they learn from having access to internal systems.

It's like saying "Meta has security guards at the doors to their datacenters! They must be doing something illegal in there!"

Meta is evil and is very likely doing something bad with these developers, but the NDA isn't the smoking gun evidence of evil... It's Meta's history in general

It has a 1st party mobile app for Android and iOS right on the main download page (https://logseq.com/downloads).

I use the android app and it's ok. Still has some work to do, but honestly trying to handle the complexity of logseq style editing in a mobile app is rough, so I mostly just use it for rough note taking that I clean up on desktop later

Second the bokashi method. As a composter in Minnesota, we stay pretty cold for quite a long time. I swapped to bokashi in my basement and ferment a ton over the winter. Once its finished, I dump it into a large container outside to freeze for the winter, and in the spring either direct bury into my garden beds that like a huge dose of fertilization, or put it into my hot pile to jumpstart for the spring (it heats up a pile sooooo fast).

I personally don't feed bokashi to my worms because

• it stinks (normally its sealed in an air-tight bucket so you can't smell it... feeding it to worms exposes it)
• the worms can't eat that volume (bokashi can ferment anything, so everything goes in; meat, dairy, citrus, etc. Between my wife and I we ended the winter with over 30 gallons of very finely chopped material fermented... which was probably 100+ pounds in total)
• the worms don't like the acidity. Bokashi is anaerobic fermentation, which produces acidic compounds, and it takes ages to adjust your worms to that PH and going slightly too heavy on a feeding can cause a mass worm escape, since the acid will absorb and distribute throughout the soil (they can't really escape by just balling in a corner)

That has the same problem as any federated service like Lemmy... all that content only exists at the whims of whomever is willing to run the server and foot that bill. If they decide to delete their server, or just screw up and it dies... all that is gone.

We're basically relying on thousands of individuals to be good quality sysadmins and infosec engineers, all for free.

I guess we could move to a mirroring/caching concept so that no single node contains the only copy of loads of data, but then we're duplicating huge quantities of data.

Like even today with Lemmy, there's now thousands of instances stood up and I bet 2/3 of those will be dead within 6 months. So all those posts and comments that get made on those nodes will just go poof... which might be fine for a chat system, but for forums and microblogging (mastodon) that seems terrible

What's really the difference between a federated Lemmy instance for hosting vs a 3rd party anyways?

If another Lemmy instance goes down, all the content on it is gone anyways. Federated != Mirrored. Just because you can browse the content doesn't mean it's safe from going away at the whims of one person
