Awesome, let's make this happen!

"As society has been converted into a factory and a marketplace, the very rationale of life has been reduced to production for its own sake—and consumption for its own sake."

 

Hi friends! Is there a good alternative to a news + feeds aggregator such as Feedly? I need to monitor some RSS feeds and other sources such as blogs and websites. I tried installing feedpushr but it already struggled with importing some RSS feeds and doesn't do other sources, so I think I need something more flexible/powerful.

Sounds like a great idea, I was kind of looking for something like that here on lemmy though. Not sure if it would make sense to discuss books in the comments, or if that is a bad format for that.

I think that's a great idea, how did you get started?

I heard about both for the first time, but from what I have read now it's probably the german equivalent to CSA.

I am also interested in sewing. Sometimes I buy second hand stuff online and then it doesn't quite fit. If you can just change it yourself that would be awesome. Or just make your own from scratch. But I don't have a sewing machine and don't want to buy one because I am not sure I will stick with it.

With limited space I am growing some plants on my balcony. Decided to harvest and dry the herbs so I have supply during the winter. I want to make my own herb tea blend as well, let's see how that goes. Also decided to get of the streaming sites and have my own server at home. I calculated the energy price and it will be cheaper for me. This at least saves energy during streaming because traffic doesn't go through 10 routers on the way to my device. And I am on a renewable energy plan.

Good to know! I translated from German, here it is called "Solidarische Landwirtschaft"

I randomly stumbled upon something called "Solidary agriculture" yesterday. People come together, pay a monthly price to keep a farm running. This makes the farm independent from draughts, bad harvests etc. In return for the money you get fresh produce throughout the year, no price fluctuations, you always get what was produced. Sometimes more sometimes less. If this isn't Solarpunk I don't know what is. It's pretty easy as well, provided there is an initiative like that in your area.

Added to my reading list.

I kind of thought since I don't have a fixed IP address this wouldn't work but with IPv6 this should not be an issue actually. I will do some testing :)
