LOW←TECH MAGAZINE This is a solar-powered website, which means it sometimes goes offline. Great new article. Rediscover the handcart. For house-movers, digital nomads, beach bunnies, physicists. Add a sail! No petrol needed! #tech #technology https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2026/04/rediscovering-the-handcart/

    @zenlan@mstdn.social I very much enjoyed this article. It made me a little sad at the end after dissing bicycle versions then offering sails and rollerblades to go faster.

    @zenlan@mstdn.social that website is so full of idiotic "solutions" but they try so hard to make them look sexy that sometimes they succeed. They continue with this narrative that a webserver powered by solar energy sometimes goes offline... if it goes offline it's just because you made it that way. It's called bad engineering.
