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

@neil Absolutely. And @freshrss is just excellent, have used it for years.
Several options for those fancying a go, too. A cheap Pi running DietPi will do most of the setup for you.

@PixelProphecy beautiful. I have pretty good results, except for a few where my protanopy really killed the difference

@diffrazioni
Tu parli di RAPPRESENTARE ma il CSM non deve rappresentare nessuno.
E' organo di autoGOVERNO dei magistrati.
Le elezioni sono in questo caso un male xchè poi l'eletto risponde agli elettori, è umano sia così.
Quindi una carriera si fa con aderenze correntizie e non x competenza.Davvero la competenza dei nostri politici ci fa piacere questo sistema x i magistrati?
