The main dev can be easily reached through the official Peertube Github repo.

Gotosocial with Phanpy or a mobile app works great when you mainly use it as a personal server to interact with other servers. The limits are mostly intentional privacy features that make it less suitable as a public publishing platform.

Otherwise Akkoma works well and doesn’t need much resources either, but the setup is a bit involved.

Fern trees are the best 👍

Hijacking your own thread is new, I give you that 🤷

It is not a bad series by all means, but imagine the robot being a golem and nothing else changed… it really is more of a fantasy book IMHO.

I wonder if she plans to get back into writing “real” Sci-fi some more. The Monk and Robot series is nice, but IMHO the Wayfarer series was better. Maybe something based on earth in the not that far far future would be cool as well?

My favorite book of hers is “Record of a Spaceborn Few” 👍

It depends if they are linked in series or in row, but yes, typically it is better to have them all with the same open-circut voltage.

I guess most will have an overload protection, but with these cheap ones I would stay on the safe side and not add so many panels that an overload can easily happen.

Panels can have different voltages, so you can’t just randomly mix them. And those mini-inverters have maximum capacity you can’t exceed (typically 800W).

With the existing 100W panel you have it isn’t really worth it, but there are relatively cheap mini systems these days that are sold under the term “balcony solar” that can plug into a regular outlet and feed power into your home network.

No, he only says that it is affordable to a medium sized budget.

My educated guess is that it costs around 25,000€ to build this. The ePropulsion engine and battery you can see in the video is about 10,000€ of that.

This specific design maybe not, but similar light plywood-epoxy catamarans based on designs by James Wharram are well regarded and proven open-ocean sailboats.

Old article from 2015, but it has some valid points.

The OP text claims that Spirit was burdened down by debt. I don’t know the exact circumstances, but these days aquisitions often happen by putting the debt on the company purchased, so even otherwise profitable businesses can be made unviable because the new owner leveraged the purchase too heavily.

So if those debts got a haircut in the insolvency process, or the sellers agree to cut them as part of a rescue purchase, that might make Spirit economically viable again.

Also, a normal shareholder company gives votes according to the number of shares owned. The proposed model in the OP text is explicitly only one vote per owner, which is a legal requirement for coops in the US afaik (the profit sharing is more flexible).

Last but not least, research shows that worker owned coops are significantly more resilient to economic down-turns and other shocks. This is partially because of the higher willingness of the workers to go without or lower pay for a while, so it can be seen as a form of self-exploitation, but regardless of that, a Spirit cooperative might be viable when Spirit Inc. was not.

Previously had some good experience with this store selling refurbished hardware: https://www.computerstoreberlin.de/

Forest is not the same as tree plantations.

I think in existing hospitals the biggest potential for small Solarpunk efforts is around visitors (family members etc.). Another topic could be food preparation for patients.

I am sure they would be happy to have your contributions, and line-art like that can also be nice for printing in flyers and zines.

DynDNS short for dynamic DNS is what you want. But IPv6 only websites are unfortunately even in 2026 still not accessible by many people due to their ISP only supporting IPv4.

ionos.de has VPS for 1€/month, which are not that bad. Server locations are Spain or Germany afaik.

That highly depends of the terrain and whats on top of it. Urban tunnels are much more expensive indeed.
