Good analysis, there are a few things that I think area bit opinionated and there is nothing wrong with that, I just don't agree with a few things out of context. For example I agree that code on main should be buildable and testable. Code in your own branch should be for yourself and should still have commits. Also lazygit really abstracts a huge chunk of git logic while making it easier to understand.

If you can improve the soil there that's seems like a good plan. I would go with a sealable container maybe those boxes that have a latch. But I imagine everytime it opens the smell won't be very nice

That is a very good question. I too want to know. But also you need any escape for that compost. Do you have roof garden or balcony?

[–] GuilhermePelayo 1 points 3 months ago

Make one, share it here. Would love to use it

[–] GuilhermePelayo 6 points 3 months ago

Very cool! I think I might do something similar but might first try with regular pots. Not sure I want to jump into hydroponics right now.

Lazygit, beautiful, terminal based, runs everywhere

You are right, but to be fair most things that are petroleum based are made with it because of economic reasons. Many things don't need to be it's just cheaper that they are. That's because of a combination of factors. If tomorrow every oil field in the world disappeared we would see alternatives for almost everything almost instantly because there would be huge financial incentive for it and many of those things already exist, they just have to compete with a very established and subsidized raw material

Debian is the GOAT

Love the community idea. I'm trying to get involved in a local charter of XR. I'm subscribing the community!

What's wrong with smaller cities, with more evenly distributed population across countries, with density lowering as you move from the center? Reduces city impact, still promotes dense urbanization and reduces transportation costs if there is something being produces around the city. Also left to nature is a bit impossible in today's world and promotes detachment from feeling like part of nature for most people. Most of Europe and north America is riddled with invasive species or just have been devastated by agriculture or deforestation in the last centuries and if managed correctly which can mean leave it alone humans can have a positive impact on the world. If you could create forests in the desert with plants from around it, wouldn't that be positive?

How do those people feed themselves? How do they move around? How far away is the average person's house from the workplace, or the market, or the hospital? In the end is the average energy consumption per person smaller? The existence of mega cities requires a lot of land elsewhere to sustain those people with the added transportation costs. There is not much to gain from gathering too many humans in one place for the sake of it.

That would be better true but I argue that even if you compare companies to cities the same problem occurs with cities, mega or very big cities are not sustainable or easier to manage, they just occur naturally.

I don't think even if a company is worker owned or democratically controlled may still choose to go against the customer or competition with monopolistic practices so I'm not sure it's possible to have mega corps be very positive in any way to society.

 

Hey so I'm sort of getting involved in my local XR (Extinction Rebelion) group but I have to say after a couple of meetings I'm feeling like it's not really my type.

I appreciate the enthusiasm and I like the ideas of how the organization runs in a decentralized way but I feel it's very demonstration oriented. Nothing wrong with demonstrations but I starting to think that the time for that has passed.

I had a sort of idea of the group also having initiatives to promote empathy with the cause, teach about what people can do both on a personal and large scale. From personal decisions to give them the knowledge to use their local political power to make changes. I know that's a bit utopian. Also I don't have many alternatives where I live...

I don't know. Is XR just a PR thing? All about making people either hate them or love them? Do you think groups like this make a difference?

 

This is a niche topic and I'm not sure this is the right community. Let's say we start to move on to a society less focused on capital. Not perfect but on the way there. There are still companies and there is an overall economy running around small businesses. How would a small business get started without access to "capital"? What are the alternatives?

Has anyone read this book? I'm currently reading it and I find it an incredible way of looking at the transition to a Post Capitalist society in the 21st century.

I think the idea of a progressive transition to micro production in which small companies and eventually just communities being able to do things that are currently assumed to be dependent on mass production a great stepping stone to a decentralized and solarpunk future.

Also do you think there is a relevant amount of people in the instance interested in these type of books of this genre to justify a community?

 

Is anyone in this sub or instance a remote worker? I have been one first partially and then completely for a few years now and I began to think as a kinda of solarpunk way of live that has the potential to propel humanity to a more decentralized and sustainable way of life, specially since I plan to move to a smaller town because of it. What do guys feel about it? Do you do it? Don't do it but would like to? Do it it but miss interaction?

 

Hey there! So after taking your advice this is the result. Ended up going with the following setup, nothing too over the top:

  • OS: Debian 12 - bookworm
  • Color Scheme • Everforest - Good vibes!
  • Icons • Papyrus
  • Terminal • Alacritty
  • Desktop • Gnome
  • Gnome tweaks and extension for shell theme and dock
  • Showoff stuff • cbonsai, catnip (sound visualizer) and ranger (as suggested), still doing the dynamic wallpaper thing but because it's for KDE Plasma I'll have to find an alternative or code it myself.

Solarpunk Unix modding (self.solarpunk)
 

Hello everybody!! This is my first post on this instance, glad to be here! So this is a bit of a tangent from most topics I saw here but I wanted to get the opinion of people that's immersed in the aesthetic of solarpunk.

I'm modding debian (linux) to create a sort of solarpunk software aesthetic. For this I take any suggestions you might have, backgrounds, color palettes small placeholders text anything.
