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

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.

Yeah, sorry got the scheduler wrong too. Only going to do one a day.

I think I'd be buying used on ebay..

 

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.

 

Salt Lake City kicked off the city's Fourth of July weekend with its drone show instead of a fireworks display on Saturday.

 

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

Post Food Scarcity (www.justasolarpunk.com)
 

"For some reason a very crucial component to worldbuilding seems to be an afterthought in most fiction I've consumed. And I am talking about the most consumable of consumables: Good Food.

Not just the protagonist ate something, that's boring. I want to know what the texture was like, the aromas, seasoning, cooking techniques, how it compared to previous meals, what memories did it evoke, how does the food tie into the culture, what makes this a unique experience to the individual? Fantasy just doesn't feel alive without food to flesh out the local culture. "

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.

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

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.

I might have misunderstood this, but I think the Kbin developer was considering emulating the Reddit API. So existing Reddit apps could just be plugged into it.

That might work, is there some third party email app that could capture their email and let them know when registrations are open again? I know of some corporate/not privacy respecting ones such as https://kickofflabs.com/campaign-types/waitlist/ but presumably there's a way to do that with some on-site tools?

I think it's probably undesirable to end up with big instances. I think the best situation might be one instance that's designed to scale. This could be lemmy.ml or another one. It can absorb these waves of new users.

However it's also designed to expire accounts after six months.

After three months it sends users a email explaining it's time to choose a server, it nags them to do so for a further three months. After that their ability to post is removed. They remain able to migrate their account to a new server.

After 12 months of not logging in the account is purged.

Coop-cloud (recipes.coopcloud.tech)
 

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?
