We have a really impressive mesh in Utah. Living in a valley between mountains has its perks.

More citizen everything. I’m currently trying to figure out how to get more people in my area editing openstreetmap. It’s such a hopeful project but after years of editing like mad I’m starting to lose hope for quick progress. It’s awesome that everyone can work on whatever they want but I think we may need community and comradarie based goals for progress.

There are cheaper options, but I love my phone sized Boox Palma 2. It runs android on a midrange spec chip, so you can do pretty much whatever you want with it, including Libby and old libraries that might be locked to an app.

If you want to go smaller and the other direction on functionality, the Xteink X4 is cheap and really interesting. It runs on a hackable esp32 and will magsafe to the back of your phone.

I got a nice middrive ebike as my first. It’s great for things like large grocery runs etc but I’m working towards getting in better shape and picking up a beater for trips around town.

Thank you. This is what I scrolled through all the shit news to read today.

If I recall correctly he also used the terms leftist, progressive, and liberal as if they were all interchangeable. Truly a horribly researched video with nothing of substance. The critique of some visual depictions had merit, but god forbid he pick up a book as a part of a reviewing a literary genre.

Every copy of Marling’s books I’ve bought includes a shout out to slrpnk.net in the ‘What is Solarpunk?’ section at the beginning. So let’s call it reciprocal. I haven’t read my copy of Neon Riders yet but I absolutely recommend Murder in the Tool Library and The Missing Mermaid.

These are cool, but I highly doubt anyone uses theirs regularly. What we need are makerspace-backed hyperlocal recycling projects. A much more expensive but much more effective method to recycle the same PET bottle would involve a plastic shredder and proper filament extruder. And old 3D prints? Sort them by color and material, they can go through the exact same process. Pulltruders can still be a useful tool, but more for education and spreading awareness than a practical source for filament.

Thanks for the reminder to look into whether my apartment permits this.
