Heya, nice to see you all!

As you know, I'm one of the moderators of the server, and I'll make a possibly futile plea to keep community open in some shape or form. It depends on what is meant by pruning heh ^^. Err, i guess some thoughts on the matter. We don't post here pretty often, so I understand wanting to close the community down. But due to the deteriorating conditions in the outside world plus the general recent interest in organizing, I feel it is important to preserve the information presented in some fashion. So before the community is closed and the content deleted, is it possible to move it over to the Solarpunk Wiki so it can remain there in perpetuity, and more information can be worked on? Hopefully in the future I can get a SLRPNK lemmy account in order to contribute to it more, and maybe possible updates in the general instance can keep the wiki alive.

Sincerely, Mod TerryTPlatypus

This is documentation on a research team's attempts to make DIY integrated circuits. It's still in the very early stages, but I'm putting this here just in case they make progress.

We already have open source software, design, devices. Perhaps the time has come for open source social business? Collectively developed, publicly available and cooperatively implemented business models?

When the purpose of a business is to meet social needs, with care for the planet and fair wages for working people, there is no reason to compete.

So we can jointly develop business ideas and support each other in implementing them.

What do you think?

I was thinking a lot about how design patterns are useful solutions to certain classes of problems. I went spelunking online and found this from a Wikipedia page lol. Hope it proves helpful for community activists!

Soooooooooo

I'm baaaaack

Lol

Here are some resources I managed to find on Telegram

Solarpunk DIY Repository: https://t.me/solarpunkrepository

This is a list of pdfs about a lot of useful community organizing things. It ranges from farming to engineering to community organizing, food preservation, socoology and social services, etc.

Hope you all find it useful!

The goal of this project is to gather strategies, skills, disciplines, technologies, ideas, designs and critical thought in an effort to help prepare communities big and small for a time of great upheaval, an era of collapses (plural). It is not a submission to 'The Collapse' and nor does it seek to romanticise an end times. Within this frame, individual-centered survivalist and prepper cultures are not encouraged, while we identify that both hold much that may be of use to communities facing tough times.

with features down to 7 microns

Short version, it is slow and potentially more expensive than hiring professionals

Doesn't work against fully autonomous drones but should limit remotely controlled ones.

A good farming wiki I found. It will be helpful because it will help us learn how to grow plants.

Each Guide is based on specific environmental conditions and growing practices, and ranked for compatibility with you and your gardens.
