Just got word, city approved the Scout's Park Rehabilitation plans with my native pollinator garden design inputs. Such a great project! I've already set aside plants! Time to contact all my garden friends with the list of plants needed!
Edit* forgot to say, we're still waiting on the mayor's stamp

An Tagen wie diesen kommen auch große und mehrstufige Speicher an ihre Grenzen 
Batterie 20kWh und Schichtspeicher 1000l für Wärmepumpe/Heizstäbe
Der #Strompreis wird auch heute wieder Stundenlang sehr günstig sein.

Unsere monatliche Strombilanz, diesmal für den März. Die längeren Tage machen sich bemerkbar. Ab der letzen Woche des Monats waren wir sogar schon fast vollständig autark. Das heißt, der Speicher konnte den Strombedarf in der Nacht überbrücken. nNur an einem diesigen Tag wurde er nicht ganz voll und wir brauchten noch externen Strom. Erfahrungsgemäß bleibt das jetzt bis zur Weinlese so!
PV-Produktion: 2992 kWh
Einspeisung: 1465 kWh
Eigenverbrauch: 1527 kWh
Verbrauch Netz: 203 kWh
Gesamtverbrauch: 1731 kWh
davon E-Auto laden: 217 kWh
Eigenverbrauchsrate: 51 %
PV Anteil am Gesamtverbrauch: 88 %
Hintergrundinfos:
Das ist eine 30 kWp Anlage, gepaart mit einem 30 kWh Speicher der aber nur zu 80 % genutzt wird (20 % Reserve). Daran hängen 2 Einfamilienhäuser und ein Weinbaubetrieb. Der eingespeiste Überschuss geht dann zum Teil noch in eine Energiegemeinschaft für weitere Familienmitglieder.
In der Grafik noch eine Übersicht über alle Monate des Jahres.

If super-bullies conquer the headlines with absurd crap, imagine a world without bullies in power.
It's on us to counter their #narratives with how we would like the future to be. It is up to all of us to fight for this future. Not tomorrow but now!
Write *your* plot of humanity and cooperation.

Dev-log # 5.0 Brainstorming and scoping
We had a nice brainstorming session with @YannKervran , @khaleer , @esklarski and @NiwlCraft , focusing on gameplay.
We explored various options for the way players will transform scrap metal and mechanical parts into ingots in the Solar Foundry, and then cast ship parts to assemble in the Hangar, engines in the Makerspace.
Giiba had the idea to model the crafting system after the cooking in BotW.
La 1e fois que j'ai vu « Coco et Caro », j'étais tombé par hasard sur le docu retraçant leur tentative de vivre en autarcie dans le désert. J'ai pensé : ces gens sont complètement fêlés.
Et puis, j'ai réalisé qu'on avait besoin de gens comme ça, qui proposent joyeusement de tenter des trucs dingues & qui construisent un réçit utopique solar-punk positif.
Heureux les fêlés, car ils laissent passer la lumière pour nous éclairer.
In the US, Saturday is a day to get out on the streets if you can. Amazing how many organized events are happening, even in small towns. I think I'm gonna bring my plastic water bottle drum.
Some guy drove an EV across the US using only power generated from portable solar panels.
I've thought of doing something similar. Nice to see some successful precedents.
In case you were wondering if there were #solarpunk stories on audio, the answer is yes.

Introducing the Tinker WriterDeck OS!
Convert any laptop and most chromebooks into a writer deck: A device designed solely for writing.
No distractions.
No internet.
No apps. No games. No social media.
Just writing.
The Tinker WriterDeck is very light weight and specifically seeks to lower the barrier of entry to creating writer decks. It converts older, reused, refurbished, or inexpensive laptops into a dedicated writing machine.
A digital typewriter.
The Tinker WriterDeck sits on top of a "headless" Debian Linux image and boots directly into a console based text editor.
We're using the Tilde Text Editor because it is a simple text editor, has an intuitive User Interface, and allows for customized color schemes for light and dark modes.
Operating System download and instructions on how to convert your laptop into a dedicated writer deck for free are found here: https://tinker.sh
See below for an example of the writer deck in light mode and dark mode.
If anyone has any questions or needs any help setting your laptop up, let me know here!
Hier eine optimistische Nachricht aus einem kleinen Experiment:
"Imagining what the world could look like without fossil fuels spurs people to action."
#Solarpunk wirkt!
I was angry. I was in love with #penguins, and with #solarpunk, and #hopepunk. Therefore I decided: If the #evil makes #RealityGetsCrazy - everything is possible. Even the good. Let's imagine what *we* want and fight for our dreams! https://steadyhq.com/en/naturematchcuts/posts/fbdd3658-8415-466b-98d8-100a923820a0
