I recently came across this compost powered computer and now I can't stop thinking about it.
Their website is running on bio-energy and they include details to make your own Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) so you could do it yourself.

From old bathtub to wormery. The bricks and bits of old paving are holding down a fine mesh screen in a vain attempt to keep the rats out. The plug hole is blocked up with a piece of paving and a large pebble beneath it leaving no gaps.
This replaces my last large wormery made from a garden storage chest left by the previous owners. It gave a couple of years of use but fell apart. Hopefully this will be a bit more sturdy!

So my initial #sentiment in regards of the tone is that the #political #language would most likely not go along with most of the #tech #people , and also the #passionate language which is easily #confused for #hostile might not with others. This is not my personal #critique of your #style , rather an #observation on how that kind of thing could #undervalue or sabotage the #ideas underneath, which of course should be the only thing that #matter .

But it doesn't look to me like the #world works that way.

I am also #curious , since you have an interesting #concept of #compost there, whether it would #scale . On the same #note , if you were to gain #mass #attention with your #website , would it #benefit it by bringing right #people , or would it #rot it? You mention #preventive systems for avoiding that kind of rot. I would like to hear more about that.

This is my composting set up over winter. We are fortunate our winters are mild. The piles are unlikely to freeze.
The two palleted compost bays have been freshly turned.
Four compost Daleks contain maturing compost.
Another compost dalek recieves the weekly veg peelings and garden weeds with sawdust added over the top.
After taking the photos all the compost was covered or lids put back on to keep the rain off. #Compost #Composting #NoDig #Mulch #Gardening #Allotment #Solarpunk

UBC launches world’s first mushroom-powered waterless toilet
#UBC #researchers are launching the world’s first #mushroom-powered #waterless #toilet, the #MycoToilet, at the UBC #Botanical #Garden on September 26.
The prototype turns human waste into nutrient-rich #compost using #mycelia—the root networks of mushrooms—and features a modern, #sustainable design that can be dropped into parks, remote communities and areas without #plumbing.

We donated a bucket of apple mash to our local #nonprofit friends at Victoria #Compost #Education Centre 💗
Their compost worms will love it!

Okay, every time I try to use a web search I understand why so many people ask ChatGPT, but I would much rather #askFedi 😊 this one's mostly for gardeners: what are some good plant sources of phosphorus? Specific plants or specific parts of plants (the only things I found so far are new shoots and fruit, but I don't have tomatoes to give to the plants I'm trying to help grow tomatoes lol)

The #Hashtags Tell a Story: Building Trust in a Messy World
We live in a time of crisis. Climate, community, communication, all are breaking down. Our tools and platforms no longer serve us. To make sense of this, we need to tell stories. And in the digital world, hashtags are one of the most powerful ways we do this. But our hashtags don’t just tag, they trace the roots of our problems, and signpost paths out. Each one is a seed. Together, they are a map.#dotcons – From #openweb to walled gardens. Once, the internet was a place of openness, […]

Stop throwing regurgitated theory at me: We’re drowning in academic mess
The “common sense” of mainstreaming #deatcult worship is one thing. But a different side, i’m getting bored – and honestly frustrated – with people constantly throwing academic articles and dense theory into conversations about practical grassroots change. If academic knowledge worked in the real world, we wouldn’t be stuck in a permanent state of crisis. We wouldn’t be burning out. We wouldn’t be watching every radical initiative slowly get co-opted, neutralised, then […]
