Advice needed. I plan to use 2l water bottles to slowly water my tomato plants. There are various methods inc. tubing and aquarium stuff but I’m going for the simple one of planting the bottle upside down with tiny holes in the lid (base cut off). First I made 4 tiny holes as per instructions but I’ve had slower showers tbh. Way too fast. 2nd go had 1 tiny hole (1.5mm), tights fabric over lid. Slower but emptied overnight. Is that about right, any ideas? Thanks 🙏 #gardening #SolarPunk

Do you have an example of stealth solar? I've been thinking a lot about 'stealth solar' where people attach #solarpanels to places in a subtle way to capture the sun's energy. It might be stealth as there are strict rules or just want to keep it low key. #balconysolar is sort of stealth gone mainstream. With cheaper MPPT devices you can now accept slightly poorer efficiency due to placement and with microinverters don't need to make long strings. I particularly think that there is no point having a solar panel in storage, best get it out there and generating even if it's in a temporary place! So I thought I'd start a small website that documents different stealth setups, so if you have cheeky solar panels and would be willing to share a little info (but not too much if it would get you in trouble) get in touch. #stealth #solar #solarpunk #balkonsolar #hiddensolar

In the hunt for reviewers, an ARC of my #solarpunk novella is now on NetGalley via @SFWA@wandering.shop This is the story of a country that decentralizes power, getting rid of presidents, politicians, ministers, and authoritarians. Instead, every citizen actively participates in running the country in a direct democracy. And there's no capitalism. Help me spread my idea of the future, get it on netgalley or send me a DM. https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/book/837516 #books #bookstodon #sff #scifi #writing #writingcommunity

Ok, I found the coolest thing ever. ===Cyberpunk Bluegrass Music=== @coreysnipes@hachyderm.io suggested I look into Bluegrass in addition to my current studies of Irish Trad music as I learn how to play the Irish whistle. That makes sense as a lot of Bluegrass stems from old Irish music. In my search for Bluegrass music with Irish whistles, I stumbled across Justin Myles Holmes' "Barlow's Jig". And get this... after listening to an Irish whistle, a banjo, a fiddle, and other instruments playing a bluegrass jig... ...you hear a voiceover reading of "A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace (1996)" written by none other than John Perry Barlow, founding member of the @eff@mastodon.social John Perry Barlow. Barlow's Jig. My worlds have collided. Heck, I'd argue that Folk Music + Calls for Digital Independence = Solarpunk !!! Give it a listen here (the voiceover starts at 2:45 but listen to the leadup as well): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck8AZA11oYQ&list=OLAK5uy_n1BAK9bfUT9iwOo8yTRVfKeYI-St_9TME&index=11 (full URL just includes the song itself and a playlist for the album. No tracking parameters) #solarPunk #cyberPunk #folkMusic #tradMusic #bluegrass #tinWhistle

#Askfedi #Solarpunk are there any solarpunk instances i can move to? I'm starting to feel like I can no longer love space in the same way anymore. It doesn't do enough for me to imagine a space future that leaves everyone behind. https://solarpunkmagazine.com/solarpunk-a-container-for-more-fertile-futures-jay-springett/

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕? Auch der heutige Tag beginnt mit guten Solarpunk - Nachrichten. Durch das Irankrieg-Desaster & die folgenden Preis-Schocks beschleunigt Trump ungewollt den weltweiten Ausbau von erneuerbaren Friedens- und Heimatenergien. Der reaktante Fossil-Lobbyismus vor allem auf Ebene der Nationalstaaten verliert an Wirkung. „Das Interesse nach Solaranlagen in Europa ist infolge des Iran-Kriegs sprunghaft gestiegen. So habe sich etwa in Deutschland und den Niederlanden die Nachfrage von Hausbesitzern wegen der hohen Öl-, Gas- und Strompreise seit Ende Februar mehr als verdoppelt, berichtete die Nachrichtenagentur Reuters unter Berufung auf Gespräche mit Energieversorgern und Großhändlern.“ #Solarpunk #Solarenergie #Solaranlagen #Balkonsolar #Elektroautos #Irankrieg #Trump #Fossilismus #Reaktanz #Erneuerbare #Friedensenergien #Wohlstandsenergien #Heimatenergien https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/energie/solaranlagen-balkonkraftwerke-nachfrage-100.html

RE: https://mastodon.social/@AwetTesfaiesus/116452226201997678 Auch in meiner Partei gelegentlich erheblich begründungsbedürftig, aber ich bin eigentlich überzeugt: eine ordentliche Portion #SolarAnarchie ist ein Treiber für das Gute. #solarpunk

@sarahbosetti@mastodon.social traurigerweise sehe ich abseits von @voltdeutschland@mstdn.social und @piratenpartei kaum was an Elan mal so richtig #Solarpunk-#Utopie als Ziel anzupielen. @dielinke@mastodon.social hat nen #Tankie-Problem und #GRÜNE werden weirdos wie #Palmer nicht los...Trotzdem gibt es keinen Grund #NSAfD und deren Stiegellecker wie #CDU / #CSU zu wählen!

Wir haben hier ja einige #solarpunk s.

Thematisch sehr nah dran scheint mir #degrowth.

Mich würden Eure Meinungen dazu interessieren:

  • economic madness,
  • der einzige Weg nach vorn oder
  • just another craze?

https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/104840-007-A/brauchen-wir-wirtschaftswachstum/

Wie steht ihr zu #Degrowth im Allgemeinen? Im Speziellen? Konkret?

Bitte wählt die Antwort mit der relativ größten Zustimmung

Frage an die Solar-Expert*innen: Mutter möchte auf ihrem Mittelreihenhausdach PV (Südseite), s. grün markierte Fläche auf dem Foto. Auf dem Dach ist ein Fenster und der Mitarbeiter des örtlichen Energieversorgers erklärte ihr, dass sich PV nicht lohnen würde, aufgrund der "festen Modulgröße" und vorgegebenen Abstandsflächen zum Nachbarn...ist das so? Gibt es die Module nicht in variablen Größen, so daß man die Dachfläche perfekt ausnutzen kann? #solar #photovoltaik #solarpunk #solarmodul

I’m looking to build out the Free Fridge & Community Pantries in my town.

I’ll continue to update this thread with my progress.

So, the idea is to have nodes throughout town that allow folks to “Give a Food, Take a Food”. Similar to “Little Free Libraries” are to books. Folks who have extra food can drop it off there, folks who need food can grab it there.

The focus here is mutual aid, not charity. So, absolutely, if you are food insecure or hungry, utilize it, right. Beyond that though, this is a great piece of infrastructure to share extra food with your neighbors. I will go down to the free fridge we have in town, drop off some of my extra produce that I have grown, and then pick up a can of black beans if I need it for dinner that night. We’re meant to contribute AND utilize the free fridge.

There are many ways to create and maintain free fridges, from something as simple as a small box or outdoor cabinet on up to full stand up refrigerators and freezers with an outdoor pantry.

In general, you want it to be a couple of things:

  • Accessible to the public
  • 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
  • Unmanned
  • No restrictions on who can utilize it or take food from it - it should NOT employ any means-testing
  • Receive shelf stable food and/or refrigerated food and/or frozen food

Further, you can break up the different groups that are involved in the free fridge:

  • The Host
  • The Maintainers
  • The Community

The Host - provides a location for the fridge and pantry to be installed and accessed. They also provide electricity to power the fridge/freezer

The Maintainers - this would be my group. We source, install, maintain, repair, and clean the fridge, freezer, and pantry.

The Community - contributes food to and utilizes food from the fridge and pantry. This is important. While the host provides the site and the Maintainers keep it operational, neither one has to stock food or coordinate utilization. The community does it themselves.

Having it split up like this is nice. Can folks from the Host group maintain it? Certainly. But extrapolating it allows for ease of use.

So. Keeping it stocked is up to the community. I’ve seen it stocked by gardeners who have extra produce (Zucchini turns folks into socialists is the joke! You just grow sooooo much you end up LOSING FRIENDS when you try to push it off on others!). I’ve seen it stocked through Food Rescue efforts. Some families buy extra from the grocery store and this is a great place to drop it off. I’ve even seen the local Food Bank drop off extra food when they had left overs from a food distribution.

Keeping it utilized is also easy. You don’t want the fridge to stay stocked, right. You want it to stay in the fridge for as short a period of time as possible before someone comes and grabs it. Heck! I’ve seen a food rescue of fresh produce from a farmer’s market vendor be dropped off at a free fridge and then claimed by several families even before it had a chance to be placed physically into the fridge! This is ideal. One fridge and pantry needs to serve the local neighborhood. That’s many many families. It can only do so if its filled up and then utilized multiple times a day.

Next post, I’ll put some resources on starting your own in your town.

There are a lot of resources on Free Fridges and Community Pantries.

The Freedge group has a wonderful site that has resources for finding fridges in your neighborhood or installing new ones:

Some folks have had questions or concerns as it relates to Free Fridges. I have posted my answer to a couple of them below:

Worry about folks “taking advantage” of free food @tinker@infosec.exchange

Worry about tainted food being placed in the fridge? @tinker@infosec.exchange

Do free fridge initiatives even work? @tinker@infosec.exchange

I’ll add to this post in the future if I find other resources.
