Climate@slrpnk.net•Wall Street firms are ditching climate coalitions. Do they matter? BlackRock, the world’s biggest asset manager, is the latest financial firm to back out of a voluntary climate initiative it joined5·1 year agoWhen the tide rises, they should be drowned.
I’m allowed to say that here, right?
I recently got a used custom Tiger Lake NUC and QuickSync does some heavy lifting for Jellyfin. Much better transcode performance than the dedicated AMD GPU I was using on an older system.

5·2 years agoNot everything is irrigated. They showed areas that are only fed by rainwater.
I think the point is that the soil was swept away and the ground is impermeable so any rainwater flows into the river or evaporates rather than supporting plant life or replenishing the groundwater.

DIY@slrpnk.net•Home Carbonation Setup - What is this connection on the left!
2·3 years agoThanks. I hope it works out!
You seem like you know what you’re doing, but since you mentioned it:
If you’re worried about leaks, you can use Nylog White on the threads. It’s food rated and works for your liquid and co2 gas connections. In theory, it’s also not supposed to harden and make your fittings impossible to unscrew.

Solarpunk technology@slrpnk.net•Polyformer - A 3D printer filament extruder created for people in the 3rd world.
2·3 years agoI’ve seen some videos where paper shredders have been modified for this purpose. I don’t know how consistent the filament diameter was, though.
I would think the best way would be to first melt the plastic into a wider intermediary filament and then pull that through the desired final extruder to get a more consistent result.
I’ve been working on an openly documented recycling solution that would make use of litter from my area (mostly less commonly recycled plastics like polystyrene and LDPE), but I’m still in the identification/sorting phase. Finding an infrared spectrometer or sensor for the 1000-2300nm wavelengths to properly identify plastics has been difficult, but I think I’m close.

zerowaste@slrpnk.net•"Buy Nothing" -type groups: building community and helping each other by passing around free stuffEnglish
1·3 years agoYou don’t need an online community to freecycle! Friends and coworkers often have old laptops and monitors lying around and some are also in need of laptops and monitors. I clean them up, do a proper drive wipe, install the OS of choice for that person, and pass them on to their next owner. Anything to prevent working hardware from going to an e-waste bin.

I like the idea of them seizing the assets of the oligarchs, but I’m sure they’d come up with a way to make the 99% pay for it like they did after 08 and like they already are with the private credit collapse.
