Ergochat in combination with Goguma, Halloy and maybe ObsidianIRC. But I would also recommend you look into other options than IRC for a family chat.
My recommendation would be XMPP with https://snikket.org/


You mean what your parents and school etc. indoctrinated you into before becoming an anarchist again?
I am mainly asking because I am struggling with the constant flood of “tech” news in this community from people thinking this is just another “IT news” community like those called “technology@” on other Lemmy instances.
I would very much prefer if we keep this community to technology (in the general sense) related topics that could realistically feature in a Solarpunk novel for example.
Maybe more suitable for !selfhosting@slrpnk.net ?


It’s not a big deal, but a single user instance has some issues with discoverability as it will only show communities you personally have subscribed to.
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” 👍


A fediverse instance obviously.


You can use the same containers with Podman, but docker-compose is not recommended with Podman and you rather use Quadlets which integrate nicely with Systemd.
Heh, that reminds me of trying to miniaturize origami folds when I was a kid. Yeah, don’t ask 😸
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.


Can we please avoid using abelist slurs in this community?


@hex_m_hell@slrpnk.net is the author of that. We discussed it before on our !infrapolitics@slrpnk.net community.
Anyways, very good insights into the potential of well organized disaster response mutual aid.
I especially like this sentence:
A sufficiently advanced disaster preparedness and response program is indistinguishable from a revolutionary counter-power.


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.
If tankies would read actual theory and not just fan-fiction they would be very upset right now.
