    Thank you, that sheds some light onto it, yes. I'm still wondering how this number marches up. Just using the device by far uses not even comparable amount of energy than e.g. the production and then it also depends if you use green energy or a diesel generator in your backyard.

    Not sure how to read this.

    Anyone knows how the usage is being estimated? What is the expected lifespan and how does one come up with a carbon budget there?

  • Current KDE desktop on Arch. Not much, definitely not super productive, but very nice for what I want.

    Researchers of the MIT developed a new solar powered passive water desalination system. They claim the system is low in maintenance and could produce water thst is cheaper than tap water. This could be big for certain desert states and communities, who struggle with access to fresh water.

    Semolina pasta
  • phoenix phoenix Now 100%

    I use a 50:50 Durum-wheat mixture which works great. The reason for using Semolina or Durum is that the pasta doesn't overcook so fast. You can also make 100% wheat pasta, that's perfectly tasty but you gotta keep a better eye in not overcooking it. That's all.

    50:50 makes my life easier and tastes damn good, in my opinion.

  • News aggregation option?

    I use https://miniflux.app/ now after switching from tinytinyRSS, which was in fact, not so tiny 😉

    Miniflux has a simple, minimal web UI which works nicely from any device. It is kept simple and minimal, which I consider nice but might not be everyone's cup of tea.

    In short: this is small, nice, easy to use and it runs on minimal resources. I'm happily using it for years already. 👍

    Right now I'm working on reducing our individual plastic waste. I noticed that we've gotten careless and we produce a huge amount of preventable plastic trash, so that's for the next month the goal.

  • Homemade rain barrel. Cost? $1.
  • phoenix phoenix Now 100%

    Quick question: How much water does this provide? Can you fully water your garden with this? And also: Is a good rain day able to fully refill it?

    Trying to get some realistic estimates about what to expect from rain collection, and I find this idea pretty cool!

    Yeah true, just saying I was thinking the same in the beginning and somehow managed to change my habits. Doesn't mean that this is the same for you mate.

    Happy Fairphone4 user here - I have one of those USB-C to headphone jack converters, which works reasonably well. However, since I got some bluetooth headphones I never had the urge to go back to wired headphones.
