Ooh, beergarden is very specific - perfect search term! Is "Wikiblock" the one?

Do you remember how long ago you saw it? Everything I'm aware of for furniture disappeared or went for-profit years ago.
Someone's already mentioned Opendesk, which mysteriously cut off access to files with a "we'll email everyone when they come back!". Spoilers, they did not come back, its been nearly 5 years. Instead they started selling furniture by request and partnering with fabrication services. There are some others that were similar, AtFab, fabsie, opendesign (which I think was a wiki, so maybe that was the one posted?)... but none are still active and the websites/links are dead or replaced by something different using the name. You can still find designs on github though, and some on Pintrest, of all places.
Here is one such repository of Opendesk's designs: https://github.com/timrolls/Opendesk . Go forth and fab freely.
This is the way to go for carbon capture - using tech to give a boost to natural mechanisms that will also bolster the local ecosystem 💯
Being a flat broke college kid hours from the sea put a bit of a damper on my plans to get started with it 😅
But I'm hoping this summer will afford me a good opportunity.
Thanks! I'm studying marine systems & restoration, so that's right up my alley. And I've been wanting to get into scuba for ages - would love to see anything you have to share on it! :D
I voted to enable because I think it's worth seeing how restoring downvotes goes, but if the feature gets abused to bully or brigade I'm all for turning them right back off. I also think that even though voting rules aren't really enforceable, it would be good to add voting etiquette to the instance wiki as a guideline to help discourage downvoting excessively, or for asking questions & other benign things.
Really I hope the ability is added to restrict who can downvote, or at least to disable federation for downvotes. That would be the best option imo.
Personally, as it currently stands, no. But it could potentially be, given better waste treatment practices and far better regulation and consistently enforced safety requirements.
It's far greener than fossil fuels, when run carefully at least. But between the persistent issues with waste reclamation and harmful leakage, and the massive amount of damage that can be done when mistakes are made or safety is overlooked, I don't think it qualifies as "green".
So from a practical standpoint, I still think new resources are better spent developing infrastructure for solar, wind, geothermal, etc. But as we are phasing out other power sources, pretty much everything else should go before we start to decommission nuclear.
Always nice to see Braiding Sweet grass referenced. And to see Anmism treated with respect. It pairs so beautifully with a solarpunk mentality - each enhances the other.
Tidalpunk is my new favorite solarpunk subgenre. That's a brilliant aquaculture setup
Ooh that's excellent - there's even a handy app!
Don't get me wrong, buying time to stall ecological collapse is better than doing nothing, but it's so frustratingly backwards when it becomes the priority over addressing the issues that are causing that collapse in the first place.
those before/after photos are such a glow up!
