Hi all - just wanted to introduce https://squeak.solarcene.community

I've been working on a new project recently to build a #solarpowered #community web server inspired by https://compost.party

If you would like some free hosting for a static website perhaps to document your projects or host your digital #zine then you are very welcome. The server has #geocities vibes as each user gets a public_html folder. You'll get ssh access and the server has #Hugo installed to help make nice static websites. The goal will be to have 100% uptime, due to its very low power consumption it does not require the power saving I use for the solarcene.community mastodon server.

Probably the key thing is that a project should have a mascot and in this case the server is called Squeak and it's an awesome bat! Squeak was designed by @alipunk (check out her website for more of her work).

Just get in touch if you would like to have a small website!

Training women to be solar technicians

Hamad is one of dozens of “solar mamas” trained in Zanzibar by Barefoot College International, a global nonprofit, through a program that brings light to rural communities and provides jobs for local women. So far in Zanzibar, it has lit 1,845 homes.

#SolarPowered Raspberry / Orange / Banana Pi or NVIDIA Jetson ? ☀️

« That's why we designed the PV PI, a simple HAT that powers your Pi, or other single board computer, from any high capacity 12V LiFePO4 battery while providing up to 10A of true MPPT solar battery charging ! »

The little web server for my solar-powered website project for this year's children's university is up and almost running 😎!
Well, except I have to finalize convincing central IT to let me connect my little Raspberry Pi via their network to the internet to serve a little website, which I am aware is a sketchy proposition, but I am still confident 😅.
