You have 20 GB quota with 5 GB daily limit, moderated. Enjoy.

Drop me a link to your channel, let me see it. I can adjust limits, of course.

This is current (work in progress) functional map of the platform. If you are interested, talk to me here, or via matrix #PwG_open:min.tepewu.pl

Hello again. Here is the updated map of our “Looking Up!” platform for education, information and inspiration towards community resilience. Pattern language is located there as an independent layer, on top of existing semantic wiki (Software stack to be determined yet). Such approach will allow us to work on it in parallel, independently for general platform development.

My suggestion is: let’s meet at cryptpd.fr (my profile link), where I already started a document collection. We can also use a matrix room, either here or at min.tepewu.pl (my address: @kanenas:min.tepewu.pl).

1. I will be happy to compare notes and ideas and perhaps somehow make our (and other) initiatives interdependent in a good, ecosystemic way.

2. Building resillient and post-collapse maintainable infrastructure of all kinds (telecommunications included) is the main topic for the inspiration part. A lot of “building blocks” are already there - what we need is to integrate them, document and fill the gaps. PwG is intended to be an environment for such processes.

3. I skimmed through the safenet.tech and it is convincing indeed. We will certainly need to list it as an option, together with ipfs, hyfanet and other similar solutions. Thank you.

4. For further conversation, I invite you to our matrix server, at #PwG_open:min.tepewu.pl

In few days I will be announcing our flagship project for 2024. Once it is done, I will get back to the pattern language topic (which also fits nicely as one of “legs” of the said project). Meanwhile, I am looking for other relevant resources, so we will hopefully have something to start with. Hope for your contribution, too.

I believe the answer will depend on local circumstances. The copper will always be needed - it is a matter of mix proportions. As long as we can keep the supply chain short-ish and local, we are good.

Great contribution, thank you. I am an admirer of 19th Century engineering and inventions, and it is good to have someone around, to ground me, so to speak. 😆

By your permission, I would like to tap more of your knowledge.

Would you care to provide more information?

Do we have an XMPP room/muc for all people to chat here?

Infrastructure

Public services - especially regarding persons with disabilities (PwD) - are being increasingly starved.

In Poland, effectively 1st of January, the caretaker support (for people not employed due to taking full time care of their disabled relatives) has been replaced with “supportive money”, much harder to obtain and in lower amount. New parliament is promising substantial rises, but there is no money in sight to back them up.

In UK, as almost 20% of municipalities warns about imminent bankruptcy, an old idea to “warehouse” PwD looms again.

So, after 3 years, did this post age well?

Come to https://kinowolnosc.pl, let’s see how we get along.

I can hardly imagine a concept of non-liberatory & non-egalitarian SolarPunk society.

What is your plan concerning new communities? I am trying to bring people here from a Solarpunk Telegram channel. We would like to have our community here. Also, the list of topic-oriented communities looks a bit random and certainly incomplete.

Sounds like a plan.

Done.

The content is not a problem. I can curate it. What I need is a helping hand from a sysadmin. In Poland, though, people who could help are rare and far between. The rest is very much money-powered. :(

I see now – I needed to enter “lemm” in community search post to see it. Thank you.
