Admin account for the test #solarpunk mastodon instance solarcene.community. My normal account is @smallsolar
I feel - if there isn't one already - there ought to be a specific #solarpunk #Fediverse server(s); imagine the solarpunk vibes of noncentralisation and connectedness reflected in a Fediverse instance(s) powered by green energy too! I guess some of us could always help create it, maybe in cahoots with @thepeoplestech?
@solaradmin love to see how you’ve come to adapt to the limitations rather than just seeing it as a thing to overcome because there’s some inconvenience. A model for us all.

It shouldn't be a problem, we've optimised solarcene perhaps a bit too much particularly when its not the depths of winter, it might mean some offline time but I don't think that's a bad thing - part of the joy of these mastodon instance is the downtime it brings.

Will keep everyone updated on how it goes, will post some graphs as well when I've got a bit of data

solarcene.community update - for the last few years the server system has been powered by 4x120W panels in my garden, my family have finally started to reclaim the decking area and so after long negotiations I've removed 2 of the panels so that it 'looks a bit better' 😜 . I can put the 2 panels back again in October when we are less likely to have friends over

@Serenity @The_Sun In September it will be the 2nd anniversary of starting solarcene.community!

While we are only a small mastodon instance I think we'll need to think of a low key, solar powered celebration. I'll try and work out some statistics about the project.

Hello World!
I have joined a few days ago but have not had time to write an #introduction post.
I live in Italy, I work in video games, and in my spare time I play tabletop games with my friends (we are well into our forties, but have been playing together ever since we were teenagers), fiddle with bash scripting, and read (currently reading "The brothers Karamazov".
I am interested in off grid living, though at the moment I am in a rented flat so have few options to go solar.
