  • I realise this isn't a good solution for everyone, but my phone lives on do not disturb mode and only lets calls through (and even then my phone tends to stay on vibrate). It's nice, generally leaves me uninterrupted when I'm doing other stuff.

  • Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them?
  • Switches located next to the door are for lighting, as opposed to switches on the socket which mean you can fully turn off your rice cooker without unplugging it. We do sometimes have sockets in the UK with the switch at the door, but they are usually a different shape socket that is designed for a lower current and is only intended to be used for floor lamps.

  • Ham Operator Must Pay in First-Responder Interference Case
  • I can't help but feel that the punishment is overly harsh. Yes he absolutely shouldn't have done it. But they haven't said that it actually caused any harm, and he was doing it in good faith (although, again shouldn't have). They also admit that his financial situation could justify a reduced penalty, so it feels ridiculous that they don't reduce the penalty to something he can actually afford.

    RepRap

    RepRap is a project about democratising and decentralising manufacturing through low-cost open source 3D printers.

    3D printers give communities the ability to repair items even when official replacement parts don't exist. They also allow people to produce small runs of custom parts, where more traditional manufacturing methods may be wasteful.

    There are obviously issues with sustainability in the 3D printing community, primarily with material source, material recycling/composting, and waste. But even with these current issues, 3D printers provide a lot of utility and may have a place in our solarpunk future.

    Open source protein fermentation

    Amybo

    Amybo is a non-profit open source community project working on protein fermentation in an effort to reduce the carbon intensity of food production, as well as improve climate resilience as things like crop failures become more common.

    The project is currently focussed on the low-cost distributed science aspect, but their website says they want biotechnologists, chefs, coders, creatives, engineers, enthusiasts, environmentalists, makers, medics, microbiologists, and nutritionists. So basically... Just lots of people.

    They're still in the early stages but looks like a fun project to get involved in.
