Just learned about this sick feminist hacker group that made a technique for creating PCBs out of locally harvested clay instead of plastic! Ofc the PCBs will have to be pretty simple, but ill bet you could totally make an arduino with this!

Really want to test this out and do a workshop at Sandbox (our local hackerspace) if this works!

I take this as a personal call-to-action: less news, more creating. More creating wayyy outside the box. Art as protest. Art as movement building. Art-ing harder because we all need it to survive. 🫡

@Floppy we definitely need more stories of how things could be, and not just what we're against.

I'm circling in on that even more slowly than my code commons blog post 🤣

I think #solarpunk has some of the answers, and maybe it needs more concrete, more immediately viable options.

#LifeHouse understandably is somewhat centred on the polycrisis, but I think with DoES we've shown that such places can be fun

Finishing up "Automatic Noodle" from @span annaleen - Really good book. Cozy. Mostly low stakes (all the harsh stuff is in the past and only brought up in remembrances/flashbacks). Very lofi.

Has convinced me to try and make biang biang noodles.

Cheers to @span gremlins for recommending it!

I'm late in returning it to the library. Three people are waiting on me. So I'm finishing it tonight and will drop it back off in the morning! 😅

Anyway, if you feel like you need a dose of #solarpunk to fight the hopelessness demon, here you go (free to read online from the wonderful folks at @span ReckoningMag ): https://reckoning.press/its-in-the-blood/

Some folks seem to think, because I write hopeful stories, I must be a naive waif tripping thru the world on daisy dust or some shit.

Truth: HulkMeme.gif I'm always angry. I fight the hopelessness demon a lot.

These stories have power because they help fight the demon.

For me and for others.

Auch in den Favelas wirkt sich Solarenergie positiv aus und dies auf viele Eben. Sie Senkt die Strompreise und schafft lokale Arbeitsplätze. Auch Dachbegrünung kann viel bewirken

A small update on my solar website:

• Reached 20 days of uptime
• I made small tweaks to the CSS, added float for images, and adapting to mobile screens. Me writing CSS, nobody expected that, especially me.
• Added traffic statistics from vnstat

And that is the curious part. Why is my Pi Zero pulling ~55MB of data each day? It's not the website traffic, because that is being done on the wg0 interface. I'm guessing apt checking for updates, Wireguard keep-alive connections and other minor background stuff? Anyone knows?

been thinking about #Solarpunk and it really looks cool..

still have to look into it more but it seems to check a lot of boxes as a people/community-oriented concept/system - also the sustainable tech is awesome.. 😄

i'mma be back with what i find.. 🙂
