Is this whole “Tiny House/Van” movement genuinely Solarpunk?
Is it claiming to be? I’ve met hundreds of folks living in solar-enabled campervans and none of them ever mentioned solarpunk.

Could my 10 year old SDF account still exist?
Mine does. I finally remembered to log back in and there she is…
Caveat: the hostname had changed; I signed up at lonestar.sdf.org IIRC (no longer extant) and now it is on freeshell.org
I found my notes from ten years ago so I know what my username was
Another caveat: I think usernames were truncated to 8 chars in that time period. Don’t know if that’s the case now or not, or if extra chars are thrown away anyhow.
Wireguard self hosting
I parsed this as Wireguard self-loathing and thought “that’s a little harsh”. :-)
warning: some non-linux included below
I do spin up other distros in a VM from time to time to see what’s what. Most recently NixOS since people won’t STFU about it. :-)
Yeah, they look like horses and act like cats. My grey was the finest doggo I ever had.
I’d rather mods who don’t want outside participation to be able to stop their communities from showing in All.
Agreed. Niche communities can get hammered with downvotes and “I don’t want to read this” comments from readers of ALL.
It’s confounding: “show me everything”, then “I don’t like the content in your niche community”. WTF?
I physically damaged one of the 3x 190w in that array. Since the originals were obscure NOS I couldn’t find another one to replace it. It was summertime so I was able to get by with 380w but that would not be sufficient to meet needs during other seasons.
So I started looking for replacements that would fill the available space. I ended up with 3x of the Trina 250w that flooded the market, the ones that Will Prowse would make famous in his video.
I made the swap on BLM land outside Las Cruces, NM and donated the 2x 190w to a family in a skoolie the next camp over. They had a 2x 100w set out so I figured they could use them. The deal was they had to come over and carry them them, I wasn’t going to deliver. :-)
Interesting. I’d never looked at my “lifetime” numbers before; I am keenly interested in daily harvests to understand the power budget but haven’t thought about the overall harvest.
Caveat: mine are higher, relative to size, because I live in the vehicle and so place more loads on the system. The rig has had two setups
the stove over to induction next. I hate it when the batteries fill back up by 10am and I waste solar meanwhile I am still buying propane for the appliances.
It’s possible. For the 11 months I’ve been cooking from excess solar power (December is a little short). I still carry propane for heating and a few things that seem to work better over flame.
In the past I’ve aliased rm to a wrapper that showed PWD and the files to be affected, slept a couple seconds in case I wanted to abort, then shredded smaller files, rm’ed big files, or placed in a Trash dir for certain kinds of files (.conf, .cfg, etc).
I might try to find or rewrite it.
PDAnet I’ve tethered a laptop to a phone via usb and bluetooth that way. Nowadays I just run my SIM in an LTE router and share the connection via wifi.
hide tether usage if possible
Some solutions involving tweaking TTL.
I have made countless mistakes since the 90s, mostly involving rm. The most recent one was yesterday when I was trying to rm files in a directory with lots of other unrelated files.
I don’t remember the exact failure, but I was shooting for something like rm *lng
and typo’ed rm *;ng
(those chars are next to each other on the kb). This happily rm’ed * (d’oh!) then errored on the nonexistance ng. :-(
“You’re not the boss of me” :-)
Agreed. I haven’t read the article yet, but my first thought was “how am I going to turn that off”

Examples from Eno, the OG: 1/1, An Ending (Ascent)
During periods of short supply and/or increased coffee has been often been replaced or augmented by various other ingredients. For example:
… during the American Civil War, Louisianans looked to adding chicory root to their coffee when Union naval blockades cut off the port of New Orleans. With shipments coming to a halt, desperate New Orleanians looking for their coffee fix began mixing things with coffee to stretch out the supply. Acorns or beets (cafe de betterave) also did the trick. Though chicory alone is devoid of the alkaloid that gives you a caffeine buzz, the grounds taste similar and can be sold at a lower rate. – source
What are everyone’s thoughts on bots like piped bot and tdlr bot
I don’t mind them. If I did I’d block them.
When I was in the army the S1 desk jockeys were using dedicated word processors with 8" floppies. Get off my lawn! :-)
