@locustangerine yes! I run https://solarcene.community which is a fully solar powered mastodon instance, it runs of a small system so has aggressive power saving to the point that it will regularly shutdown to save power, so you'll social media will be limited. You can monitor it's schedule with @solar_bot

It's really an experiment but there are users that use it as their sole instance. I've actually not yet reached that point but have an account there @solaradmin

SolarCene

A friendly #solarpunk inspired mastodon instance running fully on solar power (OrangePi 5, network switch, network router). Please note that this is a test instance so uptime cannot be guaranteed!

@adelgado @locustangerine A while ago I came across an off-grid solar powered website. The person behind that project could possibly know.

Here's the project page: https://stfn.pl/blog/80-solar-website-with-custom-backend/

and he's on Mastodon @stfn

How I built an off-grid, solar powered webserver and exposed it to the Internet

With the help of Wireguard and the Sun, I can host webpages on my own Raspberry Pi

So I saw a post by @dfx about receiving their gaming chair in a box, and it got me wondering… I searched “tactical gaming chair”. I was not disappointed.

Saving this for myself: a whole world of weird European traditions that look realllly easy on a cold winter's day.
