We have reached Earth Overshoot Day today, on 2 August 2023.
This is the day when we have used all of resources that the Earth can bear for the whole year. This means we would need 1.7 Earth planets to sustain our current resource use.
@jookia it's been many years but there are many solar powered Raspberry Pi projects. Create your setup with mains power and measure how much power you'll need and then find a project that'll give you the required energy.
BY THE WAY ITS BEEN OVER A CENT...
*coughs*
By the way, it has been over a century, folks.
@eobet I recently heard of #SolarPunk. A world we should aim for and not the billionaires #CyberPunk.
@samwilson haha, I wonder if the captain said "we are nearing Freemantle, please take your seats. ..." And the mapper just marked the location.
I installed a 6.6kW solar system a few months ago and because there is so much solar in my state they are giving FREE electricity to families doing it tough. Nuclear's vision is here but with solar! #solar #nuclear
The energy companies don't need new capacity they just need to install batteries to shift the energy.

@largess @justplanty @breadandcircuses @rosemarymosco @RhinosWorryMe we need to talk to our family, friends, and colleagues so they don't fall down the fascist fear and doom track, but they open their eyes to the problems and solutions of climate change. #NothingIsInevitable #ActLocalThinkGlobal
@samwilson what were you doing outside?!
@xogium cool, I have an Ubuntu server running ZoneMinder for security cameras that I do not like. So I'll give it a try when I switch software.
@jamesthomson all of this tech for a pocket calculator! It'll be great to see all the different ways you can do math in VR.
@danirabbit @mbullington when I was firstly diagnosed people were like can you see this, can you see that. It doesn't disappear from my vision it just doesn't look as colourful. I think "correction" is good, because we use it for glasses, to correct people's vision.
So maybe "colour deficiency correction" and a description saying it'll assist you by adjusting the colours of your display.
@JonathanMosen was it a nice meet-cute?
"I have seen how the Palestinian people are at best second class citizens on their own ever-shrinking lands. Clearly, this is apartheid. We have denounced and defeated it before and we must again. Do not be brow-beaten into silent complicity by claims that supporting the near-defenseless Palestinian people is anti-semitic. The far-right government of Israel is doing this, not the Jewish people. Stand with the defenselessness, not the powerful." Mike said regarding this action. [2/n]
I am into science and climate activism. I love to learn about social issues and to challenge my own perspectives. I'm also into free and open-source software and I am back in University studying computer science.
