Vertical solar panels have been shown to be surprisingly efficient.

The plants also have a cooling effect on the panels, which further increases efficiency.

The open-source solar panel that passively tracks the sun using nothing but water & gravity:
I thought this ingenious invention might interest some folk on here:
The SunSaluter is a solar panel rotator designed for the developing world. Using only the power of gravity with a water clock, the SunSaluter enables a solar panel to passively follow the sun throughout the day, boosting energy output by 30% and producing four liters of clean drinking water.

Principle: water clock, see-saw balance. Water drips from a bottle through a mechanical filter, reducing its weight and continuously swaying the solar panel. Needs to be refilled in the morning of course.
By the way, the thumbnail pic shows a misadjusted one, that solar panel is very much not facing the sun.

Die Idee, dass man Hass/Aggression einfach nur einen Raum geben muss, dann geht er schon weg.
Das ist nicht nur eine Idee. Menschen haben Aggressionen aus verschiedenen Gründen. Natürlich sollte man Gründe für Aggressionen reduzieren (soziökonomische Situationen verbessern tut da eine Menge), aber damit kann man Aggressionen nicht auf null reduzieren. Das heißt, man muss zusätzlich auch Gelegenheiten und Rahmen schaffen, die es erlauben, Aggression auf einem gesunden Weg abzubauen.
Deine Idee wurde einst in dem Roman "Ökotopia" durchgespielt. Ist schon lange her, dass ich den gelesen habe, aber aus der Erinnerung gab es zur Aggressions-Kanalisierung eine populäre, gefährliche und blutige (Mannschafts-)Sportart.

Wie oft ich diesen Film gesehen habe, weiß ich wirklich nicht mehr. In fast 50 Jahren hat er allerdings nichts von seinem Eindruck auf mich eingebüßt. Ein richtig harter Thriller. Ein großartiger New-York-City-Film, der sich lange in ihrem Unterbewusstsein einnisten wird. Joggen gehen ist vermutlich eine gute Therapie. Zum Zahnarzt gehen Sie danach aber freiwillig nie wieder.

Notes Towards a Solarpunk Game Design - Overview
Notes Towards a Solarpunk Game Design - Overview
Solarpunk Game Design Sketch by Scan101 I've always been interested in game design and how subtly it can teach and influence us.alxd - solarpunk hacker
I think we should write more about solarpunk itself so I’m glad for your post, thank you
Said that, I would have added at least one disclaimer about solarpunk games intended as games produced in a more solarpunk way: stuff like no DRM, avoiding dark patterns, being a cooperative or being owned by a foundation and much more.
Let me underline the “just a disclaimer”, I know you wanted to focus on the content and what I said would need basically another full post
Again, love your initiative and I hope more people will follow you 🙏
idk if ''should'' but if they do would be nice
hardware shouldn't become ''old'' in the first place, putting the heavy weight on the game devs solely seems unlikely to bring change
software libraries, frameworks, game engines, operating systems, recycling hardware... It's a lot before arriving to the people that wanna focus on the game
I was thinking about a separate blogpost on accessibility and licensing.
Some games, like Daybreak, proclaim to use open source manufacturing methods to be more sustainable and not pollute, but at the same time the game itself is licensed and copyrighted with no (known to me) invitation to hack or fan-translate, which vastly decreases its educational potential.
On the other hand, making an ambitious game takes money and markets rarely pay for fully open projects.
Open source (nor foss) doesn't really assure protection from the capital and/or consumerism...
On the other hand, making an ambitious game takes money and markets rarely pay for fully open projects
yep, hence why imo is better to not be fully open from day 0. The free software movement reached his peak, now it's time to evolve into something better. A software made by squeezing the open libraries and then the devs and then the consumers to then have most of the earnings kept in the company bank to get numbers going up for the capital is totally doable even while having the most free license.
As you say tho, it can help with accessibility and longevity.
I just would like to not see ''solarpunk99'' in some years made in the worst possible way. I'd rather have toxic games but made in a solarpunk way than ''solarpunk'' games made by the capital to sell us another commodified idea
should run on older hardware
How old are we talking?
Better yet, what minimum system requirements should the game be able to run on?
Steam collects hardware info (that people opt-in for) over the years. Here is the searchable database.
One of the recommendations in this list, Half Earth Socialism, pretty easily stole half my day by being a wonderful distraction.
I think it's a little bleak though. It takes a few tries to get it right. And it assumes a worldwide revolution against capital happened 3 years ago, a process that would probably take half a decade, and we haven't even really started in real life.
It is fun though, and it's nice that it teaches you some stuff along the way.

Free hot water if you let us mount servers on your home tank
The initial concept developed by the company involved using heat generated by Bitcoin mining rigs, according to Heata Co-founder and CTO Chris Jordan."We literally put a Bitcoin miner in a barrel of mineral oil and plumbed it up to a radiator," he told The Register.
Edit, because I think folks may be confused due to the quote I put in. They are not installing crypto miners into water heaters. That was just their original inspiration. Sorry for the confusion.
"We're not looking at serving real time workloads, we're not doing websites, databases, message queue servers," Jordan explained. "Our ideal job is; here's a chunk of data, go and process that for some hours. And here's the result," he said.This could still prove useful for 3D rendering workloads, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, and others where there is a lot of CPU or GPU processing, he claimed.

Novel use of waste heat by UK company – but it's still in trialDan Robinson (The Register)

- This is funded by the British government. So that hot water isn't so much free as funded by the British people.
- From the article, it sounds like they're going to be using the customers Internet service.
- This is not sending 100% of the heat into the hot water. You will be responsible for that excess heat. That's why these trials are being run during the winter time. Expect the cost to run your AC in the summer to go up.
- Why would you wantonly let a billion dollar corporation into your home. When does that ever work out for people.
- They are cutting a hole into the side of your hot water heater. If you or they decide not to continue with this who pays to repair that hole, I doubt it's the company.
I personally don't see a problem with the idea of doing something like that, but doing some sort of widespread rollout like they're proposing, I'd rather see "useful" work be done. But yeah, at the end of the day, if we can better utilize waste heat then that's good.
Someone shared this article with me after I mentioned the idea of crypto mining space heaters lol.
There is a temporal demand mismatch I guess. You can only make the water so hot, and you can't delay the workload until you need to top up your water.
Crypto is a constant workload edit

Thank you so much! I saw an app on my phone that's called 3D Knots or something, but I would rather buy into an open source avenue that cares about sharing ideas and knowledge, so I hadn't bought it just yet.
I will now use this as a resource, so again, thank you so much! :)
I just completed my first substantial sewing project, using a pattern from this site! My hems aren't the most even and the neckline was really tricky but I'm pretty happy with it. This is the Sven sweatshirt design, and I used a somewhat heavy knit cotton/polyester fabric. It fits great (as you'd hope!) and will probably become my new winter pajama shirt.
The site is great to use - there are good pictures for how to take each of the measurements you need, and I liked the ability to manually optimize the part layout to minimize the amount of paper it used. I saw a tip on YouTube to piece the pattern together by taping it to a large window or glass door so you can see the overlap between the sheets, and that worked great for me.
My next goal is to do a Simon shirt in flannel - decent step up in complexity so I might do a few other simpler projects first.

Solarpunk School is in Session
A street university for solarpunks, dreamers and activists is launching in the UK this February. The London School of Solarpunk (LSOS) is a space to invent new ways of urban living and find positive responses to the many crises we're facing.
Facilitated by the Idea Factory, it’s a 4-week programme taking place in Hackney for up to 15 participants. It will feature lectures ranging from social art to energy humanities as well as cooperative economies and creative activism. Those taking part will also co-design group readings, discussions and social experiments.

WordPress follow failure
@pfefferle@mastodon.social Thought you might be interested... I attempted to follow @evanprodromou@socialwebfoundation.org from NodeBB and found a fun little race condition!
NodeBB sends the follow and waits for the request to complete before recording the details of the follow (for backreferencing the eventual accept).
WordPress seems to fire back the Accept, and then wraps up the response.
I imagine a lot of implementors do the same, but it just so happens that WordPress' response time (or at least the swf site's) is juuust slow enough to reliably have the Accept come in before the Follow finishes.
So NodeBB hadn't recorded the follow request when it received the Accept, so the follow failed :laughing:
I've adjusted my code now so the backreference is saved before sending the Follow.
yes, that is because the plugin processes the follow synchronously 🥸
thanks a lot for tweaking nodebb to be compatible and I will see how we can improve that!!!
