I am also interested in sewing. Sometimes I buy second hand stuff online and then it doesn't quite fit. If you can just change it yourself that would be awesome. Or just make your own from scratch. But I don't have a sewing machine and don't want to buy one because I am not sure I will stick with it.

With limited space I am growing some plants on my balcony. Decided to harvest and dry the herbs so I have supply during the winter. I want to make my own herb tea blend as well, let's see how that goes. Also decided to get of the streaming sites and have my own server at home. I calculated the energy price and it will be cheaper for me. This at least saves energy during streaming because traffic doesn't go through 10 routers on the way to my device. And I am on a renewable energy plan.

Good to know! I translated from German, here it is called "Solidarische Landwirtschaft"

I randomly stumbled upon something called "Solidary agriculture" yesterday. People come together, pay a monthly price to keep a farm running. This makes the farm independent from draughts, bad harvests etc. In return for the money you get fresh produce throughout the year, no price fluctuations, you always get what was produced. Sometimes more sometimes less. If this isn't Solarpunk I don't know what is. It's pretty easy as well, provided there is an initiative like that in your area.

I feel like this is so true. I have traveled both ways and some trips, usually the ones where I had lots of time and no money have really changed me and my perspective on things. But it's quite hard to do this kind of travel under capitalism lol when you only have so many leave days and need to desperately recover from the work stress.

Will follow along, I am curious. 🌕

Added to my reading list.

I kind of thought since I don't have a fixed IP address this wouldn't work but with IPv6 this should not be an issue actually. I will do some testing :)

Awesome will have a look!

[–] punkfrog@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago

Oh that sounds great, I will definitely check it out then!

I would really like to do this but I am super paranoid about making stuff in my home accessible from the internet heh.
