SLRPNK

The most well written solarpunk story I have read so far is Last Chance by Tyler Young, it can be found in the collection "Sunvault". It has a pretty pessimistic view of human behaviour towards the environment (regardless of political and economic systems) but it has compelling psychological characterization for the people in the story and how they would maintain life in the hypothetical future envisioned in the tale. Does anyone have recommendations for other good solarpunk stories?

Hey all! New to the instance here, per invite from @ex_06@slrpnk.net and wanted to put this out there.

Can we have some kind of pinned post or link that goes over the fundamentals of Solarpunk? It sounds intriguing as hell, and I'd love to learn more about it, but also, I'd rather not have to get sucked into a Wikipedia rabbit hole to do so.

Something like a TL;DR of the main points, like why it's valuable, the main ways to execute, the primary modes of sustainability, etc.

Would love to hear more.

Coming from a large sub, people will eventually try to nitpick with verbiage.

I think it may be prudent to separate the "unless linking to..." second half of the No SPAM rule to its own, differently worded rule encompassing the allowance of regulated/occasional sharing of relevant but external work that they directly represent.

Is Seafile any good? It's similar to nextcloud, but apparently faster etc.

Mobile apps both have pretty bad ratings on the app stores.

What would you host for yourself, friends and family, basic dropbox functionality is all I need.

I have hosted Nextcloud in the past but it's a huge program with way too many tools, apps and a complicated way to update, the end result is often a slow and not very comfortable way to use the aforementioned basic dropbox functionality.

But, I couldn't find the original author of this

Hi! Lemmy's official software site has a list of public instances and I noticed that slrpnk.net isn't included. https://join-lemmy.org/instances

I think that this site could gain long-term exposure to more potential users by asking the site admins to add this instance to that list.

I'm searching for some good solarpunk titles!

Is SolarPunk intrinsically progressive? What elements of reaction and conservatism are symptoms of potential subsumption of SolarPunk into the status quo?

Work gloves. They're kinda expensive.

When a bicycle comes with terrible wrenches that would normally just be thrown away because they cut into your hands, what do you do? Save some scrap bar wrap that would otherwise go in the trash and make nice handles for them of course! Now the tool is actually useful and you have a use for your excess tape (not to mention it looks good)!

In a solarpunk society, how would transgression look like? Obviously not the lame edgy kind like throwing a plastic wrap on the ground but the artistic, aesthetic, sexualized forms of transgression that challenge the status quo. Does it even make sense to pose such a question in an utopic setting? (especially one naively devoid of social tension like solarpunk)

Woke up this morning to news about Swedens largest bank having major systems outages and accounts showing negative balances for many customers. People have reportedly been having to ask neighbors, friends and relatives for assistance so that they can fill up their cars and get to work.

Is it happening? Is this the thing that leads my incredibly cash-free country to do a bankrun and crash the system?

I'm kidding obviously, this won't have any effects outside our borders, but it's fascinating that banking systems can have these kinds of disturbances.

This is everything I know about sowing. Saves me money on repairs

I assume this sub is just food, not solar Punk food
