anubis2814Ive noticed that people often confuse <a href="https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>solarpunk</span></a> with solarcore. Of course punk anything can refer to a political movement influenced by anarchism or a fiction genre. Solarcore is effectively just cottage core plus panels and windmill kites. Solarpunk as a genreb is viewed as utopian, while solarpunk the moment, like all other punk movements, is peaceful but messy and gritty with a lot of violent pushback from the powerful

Designing a “dye sensitized solar cell based mini disc” that can convert DIY DSSC to music in Hackteria micro residency. By employing the unique I-V curve of DIY DSSC as musical notation so it works like a self-powered mini disc Walkman. The audio output of each cell should be both generative and identical. To reach this, I am trying to build a “finger print (F)” for each cell by deconstructing the I-V curve to 7 sections: F = [FF, Vmpp/Voc, Impp/Isc, Rs, Rsh, curvature_sum, area]. #solarpunk

Well this is amazing!!!

We just got our first host that wants to put up a Free Fridge!!!!

I was going to put in a post of how we have multiple leads out and various irons in the fire, but dang, this one came quick! We've been talking to various folks for the past couple of months and there have been various interest, but nothing has been set in stone yet.

So, I posted a couple weeks ago how our Free Fridge and Food Rescue group got featured in the local town paper ( infosec.exchange/@tinker/11494 ) . Turns out various folks read it and were interested, both in the food rescue and in the free fridge aspect.

We have one free fridge in town hosted by a local community garden, but that is completely run by them. We help keep it clean and we help stock and utilize it, but my group was created to build other free fridges throughout town.

And sure enough, a local church read the article and came to our monthly meeting. They invited us to go to their church and tour it and see what they were doing.

They're a small church that is heavy in working with the Food Bank and doing distributions. They recently received a generous donation with the request that the money be used for community service. They're going to source the refrigerator, pantry, and even build out an area to provide cover and a walkway to it.

The location is great. It's accessible via public transit (such that we have here). It's decently walkable and the city is putting in improvements in the next year. They have a good parking lot and a location that is accessible to the public 24/7.

So I've put together a little project plan:

- Go onsite and create rough site plan: Designate location. Measure out area for concrete slab, awning, and potentially walkway
- Get estimates for outside electrical outlet installation, concrete slab / walkway construction, and awning construction
- Contact appropriate municipality / county to sort out any requirements or approvals
- Complete construction
- Source and install fridge and pantry
- Open to community & advertise new location

The head of their food missions has already sourced and purchased the refrigerator. So wow. Next step will be to go back onsite and do a rough site plan. Basically measure out the spot and sort out the concrete pad dimensions.

This is the first time I've done this... so I'll be learning along the way and documenting it for other sites (hopefully) in the future.

This is amazing. Our first fridge for our group and the second for my region!!!

Infosec ExchangeTinker ☀️ (@tinker@infosec.exchange)The article for my town's Free Fridge, Food Rescue, and Indoor Food Gardening group just came out! You can read the article here: https://fredericksburg.com/news/local/article_49e5b911-4f2a-41a1-b735-a0ddc09e3937.html (Non-paywalled archive: https://archive.is/AjYvg ) Goes into detail on our efforts to build out Free Fridges throughout town, conduct Food Rescue, and to help folks garden their food indoors. Even interviews the local food bank and discusses our cooperative partnerships with them as well! #solarPunk #foodRescue #indoorGardening #hydroponics #foodSecurity #foodBank #freeFridge #mutualAid

How much compute power does one need to live the good life? (Not counting video games.)

Romans built their roads and waged their wars without benefit of computers.

Chinese empires had the abacus.

We slung rockets with slide rules.

They used to run multi-national corporations and universities on computers less powerful than your phone.

Getting ready to leave #WHY2025.

Without a badge, but with great memories, interesting presentations, good conversations & lovely workshops. The best thing? Sharing all this with my kids :-)

NL hackercamps have changed over the years & become so big I've probably missed heaps of things, but thanks to the awesome A/V angels a lot of talks will be available at:

Solarpunk Presents Podcast

Hey friends, just a reminder that we’re on YouTube - youtube.com/channel/UCsEdVsigL

You can listen to our episodes in video form, if you prefer to stream your podcasts on that platform. We also vlog and make shorts sporadically about our daily lives in Canada and Germany as solarpunks, paying attention to the details that we think solarpunks of different stripes might find interesting.

@Chaotica Die Klassiker: Genossenschaften oder Kooperativen.

Ich sehe da einen zentralen Baustein einer Post-Kapitalistischen Gesellschaft. Als direkte Antwort auf die Frage: Wie können wir uns demokratisch nennen, wenn wir einen Großteil unseres Lebens nicht so organisieren?

Edit: „Commoning“ ist da ein wichtiges Schlagwort! Ich recherchiere dazu aktuell für eine Session beim diesjährigen @offenekommunen Barcamp zum Thema #solarpunk.

PSA btw if you see someone named "irenetherogue" engaging others about #solarpunk or a large variety of other topics, save your mental energy and don't take the bait

she's a bad actor trying to instigate about everything and anything online. case in point, calling our efforts to take care of our communities with mutual aid, DIY tech projects, food rescue etc a fascist endeavor. she's a fascist herself.

anyway, i wouldn't have even bothered posting this but saw ppl i know getting pulled into it

Given all the warnings about the national heat plan and how hot it would be today, I'd hoped for better solar yield. Was getting less than 5w when I left my tent to goto the talks. The cloud cover isn't much but it's really reducing the amount of sun reaching the ground.

I'm starting to feel halfway competent at seed starting!

This is my little indoor nursery where I start things for the garden. I have 200W of LED grow lights running off #HomeAssistant scheduling, and a thermostat controller heat mat for the seeds that need the heat. I keep everything in oven trays as it makes it super easy to bottom water them about every second day.
