That’s true and it’s worrying!

for the shopping list I have a similar hot key and after saving the list, it will be automatically send to my android (over local network, not over the internet, sharing it with dozens of companies) and I can open it with SimpleTask having it sorted by the shelves how they appear in the supermarket to not run like a psychopath back and forth.

With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can’t understand why someone should waste time to find their smartphone, power it on, input the pin for the sim, unlock the screen, find the right app in the app jungle, open it, find the “new note” option, which is hidden in a sub menu instead of using a short cut on your keyboard to bring up a terminal, which opens Vim and automatically saves the file as a note with the correct file name.

Full source code control, nothing included that you don’t ask for,… It still doesn’t mean it is sustainable if it’s about the invested/wasted energy.

I still don’t understand how exactly Guix works, but it looks like it’s like flatpak or other virtualization software, which has redundant software in it’s containers and keep huge junks of software to update something (much bigger than updating single binaries), which costs a lot of energy to transfer over the internet.

I tried to follow a presentation about Guix, but I am more confused than before. It looks like people can’t explain in simple word what Guix is or what makes it special.

Oh and can be productively used on a system powered exclusively by a $5 solar panel.

Okay, this part is really interesting, because it’s pretty hard to power even a raspberry pi 4 with such a small solar panel. Which hardware do you use with it?

Thanks a lot.

I will only link to a fediverse post in the end of a blog article like “Here is the official comment section”, because I want to keep my blog as static as possible.

Looks really nice!

Can you show me the link, I am curious on how this look like?

What exactly do you mean by that? Is Guix sustainable?

Because Pleroma is pretty similar to Mastodon, I don’t think it will be good, because both use a time line and important stuff could go to the void if it was posted to the wrong time or it just goes down between a lot of content.

I switched from Wordpress to a static website generator (Pelican), because it was bloaty and something broke like after every update.

The first time I’ve seen kbin, it looked like the old unstructured and cluttered version of reddit and the old version only was a unusable mess or only if you like being distracted by all the stuff, which is going on around the content you’re there for.

Every time someone says IIRC in a topic about communication, I think they recommend to use IRC :D

Yes, I had the idea to put a link to a Mastodon/Lemmy thread in a blog article like “Click here for the official comment section”

I think, currently I am traumatized because I was depended on other companies/people, which had the power to just destroy what I built up. If I will build up something new, it should be under my control.

I think calckey/firefish has too many features and might be overwhelming if you want to focus on stuff.

Because of the “abuse of the software” I mentioned above.

But I think my current solution to this would be to keep the static website (blog) and just add a sentence there, like “Click here for the official comment section to this article”, linking to a Lemmy/Mastodon thread.

With this I can have the advantages of both worlds and even if I will change the blog software, the comment section will be the same, which is a big plus, because I already switched from Wordpress to Pelican and there was no way to backup comments.

Ooof, the design of this website is pretty terrible. I couldn’t figure out where a post starts and where it ends or what is even part of a blog post or other stuff on the website?

And in general it really looks polluted and invites people to pollute. Not really something I was looking for. But thank you for mentioning it :)

Interesting, I had a similar idea to just link to a Mastodon/Lemmy thread in the blog article, saying “Here is the comment section!”, because I want to keep a static website.

Thanks a lot for sharing. It really contains valuable information.

I think it isn’t really sustainable to use one of the biggest energy wasters (like Amazon or Google), if the goal is to provide a green website, but that’s nothing I’ve mentioned in the first post, sorry…

I’m saying this as somebody who is pro protecting the environment, but also pro prioritising our efforts in the places they’ll have greatest impact. You’ll probably have a bigger impact by walking to the store instead of driving.

Whataboutism isn’t really helpful, because you can believe me, that I have already optimized every other field in my life and people even call me extreme.

I really want to put the focus on this specific topic.

But you might be somehow right, that IF a server is already used for an energy consuming tool (like a fediverse tool [Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin, FireFish, etc.]), the energy consumption is pretty low in comparison of the fediverse tool, if there is a static website running on the same server. What IF there isn’t this energy consuming tool?

Actually, I am really worried that this could be used as an excuse and the rebound effect takes effect, using a lot of tools on the same server.
