Yeah that sucks sorry. I'm mostly a bot. I'll block instagram so I don't post this shit again.

We Suck at Promoting Climate Action, Here is How We Change That in c/solarpunk@slrpnk.net
[–] sam_uk@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago

I kind of agree, but we do need stories of what that change is so we don't end up with Ecofascism by accident.

Arguably Walkaway by Cory Doctorow?

Do you know this project? https://www.twistedfields.com/copy-of-research

It's the most solarpunk of the ag robots I know of.

Solar panels could be about to get much better at capturing sunlight in c/solarpunk@slrpnk.net
[–] sam_uk@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 years ago

AFAIK solar panels are currently ~23% efficient. So ~30% is a big deal https://www.cleanenergyreviews.info/blog/most-efficient-solar-panels

A little bit of praxis... (www.reddit.com)
 

Since the election of Bolsonaro in 2019, the funds of many public Educational Institutions have been cut down in Brazil, including mine, a Federal one (linked directly to the central government), and the situation isn't that different with Lula in charge. This has really affected and limited our process of learning since we need proper tools to work on laboratory and stuff. So, inspired a bit by anarchism, social ecology, counter-economics (agorism) and, of course, solarpunk, we (our agroecology students union) have decided to create means to earn our funds through our skills and knowledge and stop relying so much on the government. It has been tough, but we already made something! The food that we produced and sold already gave us around R$800 in 3 months of work, something like $167~ (USD). Our next objectives in the long term by now is to buy a solar panel and automate some parts of our field, but we have plenty of work to do until then :).

It will be interesting to see how much U.S. interest there is in an iPhone and (Google) Android alternative that packs sustainable and ethical smarts.

This is kind of fun if you've used older legacy sites in the past

How is Lemmy going to make money? in c/lemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] sam_uk@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I think unless you invest in servers this week it will look like Lemmy.ml crashing and redditors not considering it a viable option. The proprietary alternatives will do well.

Open Source recommendations for someone trying to ditch iOS? in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] sam_uk@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 years ago

https://e.foundation/e-os/ can just buy these. Essentially LineageOS with some tweaks

Galaxy S9 is something like $100 on eBay and well supported

How much money does Lemmy.ml need to temporarily boost their servers? in c/lemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] sam_uk@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago

The idea would be to retain the ability to collect email addresses, beyond the point that the main app can't keep up. So you'd want something lightweight just for capturing the emails.

Frontend & tools for Docker containers.

Not as polished as Cloudron.io or Elest.io, but it is FLOSS

Just an idea. Anyone interested in buying some solar hardware to play with?
