90% of all data ever produced is never accessed again. We save simply because we can. But all that data sits on servers that run 24/7, consuming energy. Being critical about the content we create and removing what’s no longer needed is one of the simplest things we can do for the internet.

📝 The hidden cost of digital

A personal reflection on the environmental impact of digital technology and AI. From paper to data centers: we have replaced a visible problem with an invisible one. Awareness without illusions.

Good news from the European Permaculture Network 🌱

We now have a fiscal host on Open Collective: Asociación Luna Red Producción Cultural. This makes it possible to support EuPN’s work in a transparent and flexible way.

Support options include:
– 5 € / month (individual backers)
– 10 € / month (projects, farms, homesteads, national associations)
– or any one-time or recurring amount

We’ll soon add sub-projects so you can clearly see where contributions go and what they support.

Thank you for being part of this network.

Okay, okay, I'm going to try to use Mastodon more regularly!

I've been shying away from the world a bit, not really sharing my open source projects due to knocked confidence.

Buuut... I'm going to try to be more active and hopefully find likeminded people on here.

So here's a start:

If you are into sustainable web stuff and design, check out my Susty Icons!

🔐 Did CryptPad help you this year?

Millions of documents were written and shared on CryptPad this year, all encrypted on the user’s device.

If every active user gave 5 EUR in December, the project could be funded for all of 2026 without external grants.

If you want to support private, open-source collaboration, you can donate here:

Thank you to everyone who already supports us 💚.
