New article on #lowtech magazine is about Soviet cultivation of citrusfruit in cold environments. Without fossil fuels but by using landscaping, crop hardening and and pruning techniques.

Could be interesting for those into #permaculture especially those into lowtech #geothermal techniques

@kurbitur @cmos4040 I downloaded an iso for Elementary OS the other day: https://elementary.io/ Curious to try that out some day. I'm quite interested in well made desktop applications as of late..

Otherwise this seems interesting to experience, but not as a daily driver https://www.qubes-os.org/

I know there are quite some #mastoadmin struggling with the disk space usage of the mastodon instance they maintain. The issue is not acknowledged enough and there are very few ways you can mitigate this using the official mastodon tools etc. Even better, often the proposed 'solution' is to 'get more disk space lol'.

Here's a compilation of recipes on how we try to deal with this for post.lurk.org as we learn by doing.

In general we document many parts of lurk.org on that wiki so that other collectives can use that information:

how many #alts do you have on the #fediverse

"El Cyborgrrrls es una fiesta crítica, #hackfeminista, #tecnoanarquista y #ciberlibertaria para recrear la #tecnología y los prototipos estéticos y de género. Un espacio para compartir ideas y afectos, para reprogramar tecnologías, hackear el cuerpo y confabular estrategias de desobediencia técnica.

En marzo de este año realizaremos la tercera edición de este encuentro y abrimos esta convocatoria para que nos envíes tus propuestas de #taller, #charla, conversatorio, performance, video, concierto y sesión de Vj relacionadas a temas de tecnología, #género y #feminismos.

Buscamos propuestas creativas, críticas y subversivas, que cuestionen qué entendemos por tecnología y su inserción en nuestra realidad corporal, política y social. Invitamos a reivindicar nuestros quehaceres, cuestionando los binarísmos existentes en prácticas y oficios (trabajo femenino – trabajo masculino), las nociones de género “implícitas” en los objetos técnicos (tecnologías para el hombre y para la mujer) y a cuestionar la idea de alta y bajatecnología.

[...]

Esta convocatoria es para mujeres, lesbianas, trans y no binarias."

Some of you may already have seen https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2018/09/how-to-build-a-lowtech-website/ . It is a re-design of Low-Tech Magazine that I did together with Marie Otsuka and Lauren Campbell. After a few months of working on it I'm happy its out in public, survived the attention and creating discussions!
