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.

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

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.

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

"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

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.

Coop-cloud (recipes.coopcloud.tech)

Frontend & tools for Docker containers.

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

Out of curiosity how would https://kbin.social/ source: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core stand up to this kind of analysis? Is it better placed to scale?

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