If you need it you will find it, and if you don't, maybe it is unncessary clutter in your life that would be better to get rid off in a yard sale asap?

I still don't see where the punk is in that. "Radical" is a politically neutral term that can just as well be applied to a top-down radical reorganisation of society.

It led me to learn that there is a label that more or less matches solarpunk in political theory: Bright Green Environmentalism

Not really, as this concept doesn't say much about power-structures and is rather a description of Singapur like futuristic eco-authoritarianism.

Solarpunk without the punk (and anarchism) isn't Solarpunk.

One example she offered was using Starship to launch a satellite. If that satellite was not working, she explained, the satellite could be brought back into Starship’s payload bay to either be repaired or returned to Earth.

So exactly like the Spaceshuttle? I doubt that will be economic in most cases even if Starship launches are significantly cheaper.

I think the more likely outcome will be much cheaper sattelites made with heavier standard components and with more fuel on board to deorbit or stabilize them if something goes wrong.

Is the source-code for this website available somewhere? Might be pretty nice to have for other instances as well.

Great, next should be Italy's (and Malta's) illegal cooperation with the Libyan mafia militias.

It's a bit confusing at first that it comes with a read only web-interface, but once you got a Mastodon app or an frontend like Phanpy set up with it, it works quite well.

We are having some odd issues with the server right now. Not sure what the cause is. As a side effect we updated to the new lemmy version 0.19.7, but I don't think that was the cause of the issues as we did that only after the server crashed a few times.

Edit: seems to be resolved for now, but we are not sure what exactly cause it, so it might happen again.

Excellent book, highly recommended.

Pre-rendered 3D models as 2D sprites. Looked quite cool back then, but IMHO aged very poorly.

If you are experiencing slow loading community avatars on the main frontend (lemmy-ui) here on SLRPNK, try deleting all site data (cookies etc.) for slrpnk.net in the privacy settings of your browser and log back in afterwards. For me at least that made a big difference (the issue is related to a bug-fix in Lemmy 0.19.6).

We will probably also update to Lemmy 0.19.7 the same time as it is only a minor bug-fix release. Edit: Done.

It seems like contrary to Lemmy-UI, Photon does not display the user supplied post language anywhere and also has no way to set the post language in the UI. Nor does it have the profile setting to set language visibility.

I generally think that this feature in Lemmy-ui causes more harm than good due to the various ways in which people accidentally deselect "undetermined" as a language option, or how community mods accidentally prevent people from posting due to strict language restrictions... and a bunch of other related bugs that caused me to abandon this feature.

But having no representation at all seems like a bad idea given so much of Lemmy uses that feature and it also seems like Photon does hide wrongly language tagged posts if people misconfigure their profile settings in Lemmy-ui?

I can't confirm the latter, but this report https://slrpnk.net/post/14769073 sounds a lot like that is what is happening.

It's Going Down

How do you organize mutual aid in a city without power, water, and internet?

Don't miss our latest episode of This Is America, featuring an interview with someone from Rural Organizing and Resiliance (ROAR) and volunteers @firestorm in #Asheville.

We discuss how hundreds of people across the city came together following #HurricaneHelene in mass meetings and helped to organize autonomous disaster relief and mutual aid. ROAR speaks about the challenges of mobilizing in rural areas.

We also speak with the two hosts of 'The Dugout' a Black anarchist podcast, roundup resistance news, and talk about how Trump is already moving to contest the next election.

I have been contemplating to set up a small vertical hydroponic system, but I am struggling a bit to come up with plants I would actually like to eat that would fit well.

Stuff like tomatoes or pepper just seems to grow way too big to function well in a typical vertical setup, and I am not a big fan of leafy salads to eat.

I found a nice small cabbage (Japanese Tatsoi), which is quite ok, but other suggestions would be welcome.

Note: If this tiny part of 30% around the Azores is really the largest network of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the North Atlantic, this tells me that much-much more needs to be done and soon. Please don't get me wrong, I believe it's totally great they did this.
