Searching for #solarpunk #symbol s:
A flash memory pendant containing an offline copy of #Wikipedia , #OpenStreetMap , #Appropedia and #OpenSourceEcology project.
Oversimplifying, a stand-in for "the sum of human knowledge".
(Possibly some Linux distro, some documentation, manuals to restart infrastructure as needed)
The EN Wikipedia with Pictures ( #kiwix ) is only 110 GB, will easily fit on a modern pendrive.
Is it a good symbol of a better future?

Because let's be honest, "a pendant with the sum of human knowledge" is an absurdly awesome #scienceFiction theme. And it's doable for less than $20.
We're just not thinking about it in such cultural categories xD What is wrong with our civilization?!
For Solarpunk it would be a symbol of the lack of dependency on the Internet, the Clouds, on being able to restart the local community and technology with all the knowledge - if needed.

@alxd I would of course overengineer it and try to make it self-contained. Not a pendant, but rather containing already a way to access the knowledge, like a e-book ready with PV cover. Maybe with some wooden parts for the feel. But that would likely take months for just finishing the design.
Maybe a pendant is the better choice.

@urwumpe I think both would be good symbols, but you can make a pendant for the price of a kebab.
Just find a small 256 GB pendrive, put the Kiwix databases, some binaries for different systems to access it, it's doable. It is a solid statement.
I might make one for the #chaosCommunicationCongress #39C3

@alxd I would love one if it could be made really everything-proof.
It would be the saddest thing if a bit of sweat or water would damage it, or its data succumbs to bit rot and ends up corrupted.

@alxd you're missing the other half of human knowledge, project gutenberg (also available as a kiwix dump), but it adds another 90GB or so.
currently my “sum of human knowledge” disk is at around half a TB, of which 395G are kiwix dumps (the rests are mostly distros and a few odd small things), and it's a bit more than would easily fit on a pendant, but the pendant look would be really cool!

@alxd I don't imagine that getting their software running (to package new websites/update packages), but one of my favorite gadgets is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiReader which has (contemporary) Wikipedia, Project Gutenberg, and a bunch of other free-licensed knowledge sites on it. (It sold for more than $20 retail, but I think that was the clearance price that I got mine for, coincidentally.)

@alxd That reminds me of the Voyager Golden Record on steroids.😅

@alxd correction, a bit more than would easily fit on a $20 pendant.
I've just realized that the computer shops next door¹ carries 512GB microSD cards, they are only still quite expensive (~60EUR), but I expect that they will come down in price faster than wikipedia is growing
¹ FSVO next, or for somebody else's door :D

@simona devi solo smettere di seguire @underscorner e poi seguirlo di nuovo

@filippodb @lalchimistadigitale @spettacoli beh già nel 1985 non è che fosse così al top. È una produzione italiana al risparmio e non sono neppure così sicuro che abbia mai visto la pelle di un tamburo. Ma il groove, anche se sintetico, funziona e il ritmo vagamente in controtempo potrebbe addirittura ricordare (bestemmio) Blue Monday dei New Order

@fucinafibonacci @lalchimistadigitale @spettacoli quindi il buon sandy lo piazzava ano a caso con batteria o pianola a tracolla a seconda del progetti tanto era tutto in playback anche questo credo...
Però invecchiato malissimo il video.

@filippodb @lalchimistadigitale @spettacoli non lo escluderei: erano tutti e 2 della scuderia Cecchetto 😀

@lalchimistadigitale @fucinafibonacci @spettacoli ma ma ma il batterista era Sandy Marton?? 😂
