@middleclasstool If you haven't printed those lid and ring holders before, they're a godsend. I printed a couple for both regular and wide-mouth jars a couple months ago when my wife and I were in peak canning season, and they were a game changer for organization.
#SelfSufficiency
Added two more panels to the temporary* secondary solar array to help us get through midwinter. 2kW total, these are only 250W panels. You can get these for pocket money, nobody wants the small output panels.
*This temporary array was built 3 or 4 years ago.... It's real basic trestles made of rough 4x2 wood.

Africa: A Fragile State - Zimbabwe Reckons With the Catastrophic Loss of Us Aid: [Global Press Journal] Harare, Zimbabwe -- US aid helped save and sustain lives, but failed to build lasting prosperity. Now, the money's gone. Can Zimbabwe become self-sufficient, or will it turn to China? http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TLJXpp #Zimbabwe #USAid #Africa #SelfSufficiency #EconomicDevelopment
So you plant your own gardens and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
[Así que uno planta su propio jardín y decora su propia alma, en lugar de esperar a que alguien le traiga flores.]
Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) Argentine writer
Poem (1940s), “You Learn [Aprendiendo]” (Attributed)

In mei en juni volgen allerlei bessen elkaar hier op met gekende, maar ook nieuwe smaken. In de tweede week van mei waren de vroegste bessen klaar, de #honingbes of lentebes, fris zoetzuur en zacht. Mi-mai on a commencé à récolter les #fraisesdesbois et #fraises. Van de #bosaardbeien en #aardbeien hebben we al kilo’s geplukt en gegeten. Une semaine plus tard, les premières cerises douces. Nu, begin juni, snoepen we van de eerste roze #aalbessen, die zoeter en minder zuur zijn dan de rode. Ook de #krentenboom (#amelanchier) heeft nu heerlijke zoete besjes. En de witte #moerbeien vallen van de hoogste takken op het gras. Connaissez-vous les petits fruits blancs du #mûrier (#morusalba). Alles bij elkaar al meer dan 10kg bessen geplukt. Et ce n’est que le début de la saison à fruits🤗.

Ah, the #irony of self-sufficiency 💸—where a #security service valiantly defends against the heinous crimes of #SQL commands and… #cookies 🍪. For the low, low price of your sanity, you too can email a website owner about why you can't read their content. 😂

@jupitersigh I stumbled onto this book on green/solarpunk building techniques called The Barefoot Architect in a bookstore up in Eureka. Brilliant handbook, super accessible with plenty of diagrams. https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-barefoot-architect-johan-van-lengen/10853469
Does anyone know of a handy list of good books around topics like how to do things without electricity/gas/etc? I'm finding it difficult to explain what I mean, but in a solarpunk/sufficient/'the world is crap and too expensive but I still want to have a thing' sort of way.
Like knitting, weaving, gardening, building, etc. I'd like to build a library of physical resources/books for knowledge to have on hand if the world goes to crap. But not in a 'prepper' way.
I guess it can rely on electricity, but derived from solar or hydro rather than from a grid. And maybe then stuff about that would be good like how to fix a generator or something.
I'm sorry this is rambley, hopefully it makes sense to someone. I'm not even sure what tags to give this.
In 1970, John Lennon invited Sid Rawle to establish a commune on Dorinish, a small island in Clew Bay, Ireland, which Lennon had bought in '67.
Sid, summoned to the Beatles' headquarters was offered custodianship of the island.
