    @saxnot @freemo I am following a lot of people. Your instance is probably only displaying local numbers.

    1. The woman who taught internet strangers to actually care for one another
      By Commentary from Quartz
      "In 1989, a graduate student named Stacy Horn started an online community. This was before the World Wide Web, when “online” still meant a Bulletin Board System, or BBS, a text window you dialed on the phone and paid for by the hour."

    Yes, you need to convert mains (230 V 50 Hz AC in India) to some DC voltage and charge a battery. It will work without any problems. I have done it in the past. I just need to do it again. But, I feel frustrated by the complexity this is introducing to what should have been a simple tiny SBC running as a server. That is why I want P2P services to catch up and replace at least some federated services.

    I have tried Rumble (similar to Briar) and Serval. But they both require other people volunteers to come together and create a mesh. Unfortunately, I don't have the organizational skills to bootstrap such a network. The local free software groups have been working on and off on setting up mesh networks but nothing substantial has happened yet.

    Yes, of course, solar power requires batteries too. But, I now live in an apartment, and it isn't easy to install solar panels. So, I was wondering if I should abandon solar power and simply charge batteries off the mains supply.

    In most places in India mains power is not present 24x7. Even in big cities, there are frequent power cuts. I self-hosted for a long time on solar power. But, I had to move, and now I run on mains power. Now, I suffer significant downtime due to power cuts. I'll have to work out some battery backup system to get my uptime back on track. Power cut issues are why I don't recommend XMPP to anyone, even though I use it. I wish P2P IM systems like Ring would improve. Over-dependence on server availability is an issue. Even in developed countries, will power supply continue to be reliable given our energy and environmental crisis? I think we need a less energy intensive and more delay tolerant Internet. http://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2015/10/how-to-build-a-low-tech-internet.html

      How to Build a Low-tech Internet
      from LOW-TECH MAGAZINE
      Wireless internet access is on the rise in both modern consumer societies and in the developing world. In rich countries, however, the focus is on always-on connectivity and ever higher access speeds. In poor countries, on the other hand, connectivity is achieved through much more low-tech, often asynchronous networks. While the high-tech approach pushes the costs and energy use of the internet higher and higher, the low-tech alternatives result in much cheaper and very energy efficient networks that combine well with renewable power production and are resistant to disruptions. If we want the internet to keep working in circumstances where access to energy is more limited, we can learn important lessons from alternative network technologies. Best of all, there's no...

    @offby1 The other side to this is that when people are expected to work on open source for money then priorities change to those of whoever is paying, and many developers will be excluded because they just won't be hired.

    We do need better ways of funding public software production though.

    That's nice, but the list of followers is stored on the server even though it is hidden. This is accumulation of unnecessary information. In case the server is compromised, or if the government seizes the server, it wouldn't end well. Anyways, if your bots help make the fediverse more popular, by all means, continue.

    @prashere @demonshreder Maybe, we should encourage people to use feed readers too. At one point, I thought of creating several feed->fediverse bots, but then decided against it. The reason is that bots offer no reader privacy (you are listed as a follower of the bot), whereas feeds can (nobody needs to know which feeds you are following; it is all on your local machine).

    Wow! Pretty much every bedroom I've seen has a ceiling fan, and only a few have an AC. I think ceiling fans help even if you have an AC. Maybe, you should get one. Here is a nice article on fans. http://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2014/09/circulating-fans-air-conditioning.html

      The Revenge of the Circulating Fan
      from LOW-TECH MAGAZINE
      The steadfast rotating fan has been employed to keep people cool since the eighteenth century, and it remains highly effective, requiring much less energy and providing more comfort than air-conditioning. Cooling people by increasing local airflow is at least ten times more energy efficient than refrigerating the air in a given space, and it also adds the benefit of a personally controlled thermal environment. If used in combination with air-conditioning, fans could lower energy use by 30-70%, even in incredibly hot climates or during heat waves. Circulating fans, which have become very energy efficient in their design, can be readily and cheaply applied in both new and existing buildings. Recent changes in international comfort standards have paved the way for...

    Does anyone please please please have an emergency place I can crash at least just one night in London? I just have 2 bags, and I'm kinda traumatised right now. I'm a programmer trans femme, from california

    My airbnb host is telling me to get out now, since I called customer service to try to get a new place because they painted my room without warning and it's making me ill. Her income depends on airbnb and is angry about the bad review and taking it out on me... And I can't stay here.
