Is there a meaningful difference in how they operate?

That's so smart! Thanks for the tip

The open toolchain foundation also has a similar list I think

This is going to be a new hardware product, so presumably something like an Amazon echo

It may be worth getting a weatherproof electrical box. You can get ones designed to just hold an extension lead, and that should provide enough safety without making it too cumbersome

Yeah it's based off of Darwin

Oooooooooo I've not heard of them before! Thanks for the link

What app is that in?

If you work it out yourself you just have to show your working, no need for a citation.

I've been using DuckDuckGo a lot more recently and it's been pretty good. I've tried a few others but not really found one I love yet

It being between the rails probably makes it easier to automate most of the installation, cleaning, and removal at the end of their life.

Damn, that's really sad

RepRap (reprap.org)
submitted 9 months ago by KryptonNerd to c/projects
 

RepRap is a project about democratising and decentralising manufacturing through low-cost open source 3D printers.

3D printers give communities the ability to repair items even when official replacement parts don't exist. They also allow people to produce small runs of custom parts, where more traditional manufacturing methods may be wasteful.

There are obviously issues with sustainability in the 3D printing community, primarily with material source, material recycling/composting, and waste. But even with these current issues, 3D printers provide a lot of utility and may have a place in our solarpunk future.

 

A cool open source DIY wind turbine project

Amybo is a non-profit open source community project working on protein fermentation in an effort to reduce the carbon intensity of food production, as well as improve climate resilience as things like crop failures become more common.

The project is currently focussed on the low-cost distributed science aspect, but their website says they want biotechnologists, chefs, coders, creatives, engineers, enthusiasts, environmentalists, makers, medics, microbiologists, and nutritionists. So basically... Just lots of people.

They're still in the early stages but looks like a fun project to get involved in.
