i'm really excited to show https://compost.party to the world! it's a web server running on an old, broken phone, getting energy from the sun using one of those portable solar chargers that you may also have lying around.
it's a real oddity and a real beauty
it runs @postmarketOS, so thanks to everybody who contributes there. it's really nice to have people who try to understand these devices and allow us to take them beyond walled gardens and planned obsolescence.
also thanks @paupowpow for designing the web page and convincing me to finally show it around
the phone is connected via wifi to a residential internet connection and runs on its own battery. some of the sensors are working as well, so it's very non-web-server-like. it's made out of scraps that were lying around and are now turned into something new.
at the moment it hosts https://links.compost.party which contains some of the links that inspired me. but i'm very open for ideas! if you have something you'd like to run on it, please write me
@computersandblues I love this! Since you mentioned some sensors were working, it'd be neat if you could poll for those sensor readings alongside the battery reading.
Even something like orientation could be fun. Load up the site and get something like "The battery is at 94% and the phone is facing North"
@computersandblues This is super cool!
I've been working on some ideas for low-power, intermittent-availability hosting software, and this is exactly the kind of hardware I'd love to be able to run on someday.
I feel like the era of five-nines "big internet" is poised to inevitably give way to a much more hyperlocal, sustainable approach, and it's always great to find projects that are moving that way.
@computersandblues
Very cool!
Do you know the solar-powered @lowtechmagazine ?
solar.lowtechmagazine.com
Where I'm at, you can't get a stable IP address on home residential. Do you have a stable IP, or some kind of dynamic DNS?
@computersandblues nice work towards #degrowth. Do more with less.
Boosted, to help with stress testing. :)
@computersandblues I loved the project. Is there a self-hosted, single-user, ActivityPub server running on Android?
Is there any project documentation?
@david @dirk @dheadshot @oigreslima @computersandblues #honk runs fine on @termux ! I ran it on the Always Free tier in Google Cloud for a while and then realized my old phone had more RAM and made the pivot.
Currently running on a Raspberry Pi, but only because I was trying to pivot to @postmarketOS and got lazy. 😁
What's the 97% in the green circle on the compost #website about? 😀
