Ruben@ash @garrows I've been inspired by #lowtechmag to try and reduce the energy use of my blog. Check them out I think there solar powered server is the bomb, www.lowtechmagazine.com/2020/0…
How Sustainable is a Solar Powered Website?
Our self-hosted, solar-powered, off-grid website has been running for 15 months now. In this article, we present its energy and uptime data, and calculate the embodied energy of our configuration. Based on these results, we consider the optimal balance between sustainability and server uptime, and outline possible improvements. Illustration: Diego Marmolejo. Introduction In September 2018, Low-tech Magazine launched a new website that aimed to radically reduce the energy use and carbon emissions associated with accessing its content. Internet energy use is growing quickly on account of both increasing bit rates (online content gets “heavier”) and increased time spent online (especially since the arrival of mobile computing and wireless internet). The solar powered website bucks against these trends. To drop energy...
Detlef SteuerA new pearl from the low tech magazine: https://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2023/02/can-we-make-bicycles-sustainable-again.html
Analyses show that cargo bikes are not so much better than small vans CO_2-wise. (Mostly because the production of the bike dominates its CO_2 footprint and they get relatively low total mileage) A good read! #bicycle #footprint #fahrrad #fussabdruck

And we all knew, that steel frames are the better ones, didn't we? 😍 🚴
Can We Make Bicycles Sustainable Again?
Cycling is the most sustainable form of transportation, but the bicycle is becoming increasingly damaging to the environment. The energy and material used for its production go up while its life expectancy decreases. Illustration: Diego Marmolejo. Cycling is sustainable, but how sustainable is the bicycle? Cycling is one of the most sustainable modes of transportation. Increased ridership reduces fossil fuel consumption and pollution, saves space, and improves public health and safety. However, the bicycle itself has managed to elude environmental critique. [1] [2] Studies that calculate the environmental impact of cycling almost always compare it to driving, with predictable results: the bicycle is more sustainable than the car. Such research may encourage people to cycle more often but doesn't encourage...
StefanBlasel@emk Vielen Dank für die Mühe bei der Übersetzung. Sehr interressant! Bei vier Grad #Temperatursenkung 35 % der Wärmeenergie einsparen zu können klingt gut. Und das bei gleichem #Wärmekomfort, dank Thermounterwäsche. Jetzt muss ich noch verstehen, wie ich das mit meinen chronisch #kalt|en Händen lösen kann: Fahrradhandschuhe? Ich bin auch ein fan vom #lowtechmag
@rra i recently saw the #solar at #lowtechmag and i am totally in love with that. I was wondering if you know some other examples of sustainable/low energy web design?
