Have a look at YUNOhost for your OS. It’s based on Debian and is designed to be really easy to set up and use, which might be useful for you as you have young children and not much time.

Going organic and plant-based would be such a massive improvement.

People have been saying this for at least 40 years.

Me. Only Pixelfed, Mastodon and Lemmy for two or three years. I dont feel like I miss anything and in fact find it much healthier, especially Pixelfed. I never really used Instagram but love my Pixelfed feed of art and photography.

That sounds like a great way of doing it :) I’ve seen some lovely stretches of canal. Do you ever make it over East Anglia?

That’s great you’re on the water. I know a few people who have lived on the canals and I have a lot of respect for it. I’m on bit of a mission to sail the seas - wish me luck!

It’s great isn’t it. The panels are getting denser as well which must be great for sailors. What sort of boat do you have?

This is dadjokes fine sir

It’s funny to think now what a big deal they made about this in the media when it was announced. I guess it just didn’t stick with people because hardly any of us can empathise with them.

Boooooo

I have my Linux laptop open at work next to their windows machine and the difference when I switch between them is ridiculous.

Only joking. We’re offgrid anyway, so unless they can figure out a tiny, cheap and quiet one I can buy off the shelf some time soon I will be solar for a while to come!

Panels have become ridiculously cheap per kwh. I was looking for some more recently and they had halved in price in the space of a few years while everything else has almost doubled.

I’d love to see more innovation in mechanical storage.

Yeah, I think you mis-read my comment and that we agree :)

Man, just when I’d bought all those solar panels.

I think their point is that in a large enough group there will be people who you cease to regard as peers.

I think a much more stable option would be morals defining your identity and being loyal to that.

I’m glad you posted the question - good to think about.

I always forget about this until I see it on Fridays.

I will always upvote it.

I think that getting caught up in objections to housing development is a terrible diversion and a waste. Look up a housing estate on a map with satellite view and zoom out so you can compare it to the vast areas which are sprayed with pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilisers and where grazing destroys biodiversity. All of the above is currently subsidised by taxpayers.

The scope for winning environmentally is enormous in the countryside but instead all the attention gets absorbed by residential planning where the impact is the smallest.

The government should be changing agricultural policy for the environment and wildlife, creating local & accessible nature reserves and forests for the politics and building houses for the people.

I agree. More parents should take it seriously.

This an impossible choice, so I’ll take two: Ernie & Bert :)
