Installed a 4x4 post for a raspberry trellis using sand, wood ash, and packed earth instead of concrete. Won't last 100 years, but it doesn't need to, and it'll just be soil after it degrades. #SolarPunk #SolarPunkSunday #Reuse

@LinuxGuides Gute Initiative! Persönliche Linux-Held*innen sind für viele Umsteigende sehr wichtig.
Da darf https://endof10.org/places/ natürlich nicht fehlen, und auch viele #ReparaturCafés haben das Thema auf dem Schirm: https://www.reparatur-initiativen.de

To get enough fuel 
into #orbit for a #Mars 
mission would require at least 10 launches of the #SLS rocket, or about $20 billion 
. Just for the fuel. To use traditional propulsion, one needs to push the boundaries of #reuse 
and heavy lift rockets to extreme limits—which is precisely what #SpaceX is trying to do with its fully reusable launch system https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/02/report-nasas-only-realistic-path-for-humans-on-mars-is-nuclear-propulsion

Fajna akcja #EndOf10 #Koniec10
"Wsparcie dla Windows 10 kończy się 14 października 2025 roku.
Microsoft chce, aby kupić nowy komputer.
Ale co by było, gdyby móc ponownie uczynić swój obecny komputer szybkim i bezpiecznym?
Jeśli komputer był zakupiony po 2010 roku, najprawdopodobniej nie ma powodu, by go wyrzucać. Wystarczy zainstalować aktualny system operacyjny GNU/Linux, aby korzystać z niego przez wiele lat.
Instalacja systemu operacyjnego może wydawać się trudna, ale nie musisz robić tego samodzielnie! Przy odrobinie szczęścia, w Twojej okolicy są ludzie gotowi do pomocy!"
Można rejestrować kolektyw naprawczy, miejsca i wydarzenia związane z instalacją Linuksa. Informacje tutaj -> https://endof10.org/contribute/
Sam zarejestruję moją wiejską mikro naprawialnię.
Mejkerspejsy, hakerspejsy, co wy na to?
Dzięki @tomek za info :)

@notthatdelta that's a good deal...
#UseLonger & #Reuse as well as #Refurbish is also better for the envoirment!
Another load of beach bricks! I can only carry about a dozen at a time (around 50 lbs worth). More than that and the bike gets really top-heavy. #reuse #recycle #beachFinds #CapeCod #Workcycles #BikeTooter #quaxing #bricks #CargoBike #beach

Extraordinary Reuse of Vacant Church: Transforming into a Public Swimming Pool in the Netherlands
Good News Network · Extraordinary Reuse of Vacant Church: Transforming into a Public Swimming Pool in the NetherlandsArchitects in The Netherlands won a competition to transform the St. Francis of Assisi Church in Heerlen—into a public swimming pool.
Collected some bricks from the beach for a garden project… there’s so much random flotsam that gets revealed at low tide! #noBuy #CargoBike #Workcycles #BikeTooter #Reuse #Recycle #quaxing #BeachFinds #CapeCod
I shan't be saving so many glass jars and bottles in future.
For last week's delivery from La Fourche I cleared out the jars which had come from them and returned them, packed in one of their (also returnable) bags as directed by the delivery driver who was clearly proud of the scheme.
The jars will be sterilised and re-used.
Perhaps one day the milk will come in bottles, too...
#ReUse
Re-booting!
Found these in the garage last winter and they were in good shape, two pairs basically new, just covered in garage grime.
I pressure washed them inside and out and now they're spending time filled with chlorinated water to disinfect.
Then dry and ready for use.

@kusuriya @Blender@mastodon.social @blender@video.blender.org also you can use it for #VDI (#VirtualDesktopInfrastructure) as #Tesla and #Quadro cards can be "partitioned" and then passthrough as individual cards to VMs (sometimes up to 16)…
So if you want to do some #transcoding / #VirtualDesktop setup, this is a good card to #reuse.
I was thinking of buying a new-to-me #Thinkpad next month, but I think what I'll do instead is try to spruce up my #PinebookPro:
- Get new rubber feet
- Get a bigger SSD
- Install #pmOS and finally have #FDE on the thing
- Put some proper locktite on the screws so it's not falling apart all the time
I need to look up some videos on applying threadlocker to screws. It's much looser stuff than the typical locktite and it tends to make a mess.
I'm debating just dribbling locktite (regular CA) on top of the screws as well to try to make them a little more permanent. Not a great solution, but the thing just loves to fall apart.
It's always best to try to #reuse! <3
Wat óók met boeken kan: er een leporello in maken. De prachtige kaft is van Jungle Book die we vroeger thuis hadden. Die had een veel minder prachtige stofomslag. Nu kijk ik bij oude hardbacks altijd even onder dat papiertje #leporello #sketchbook #handmade #papier #boekenkaft #books #boeken #dummy #reuse #artstudio #create

@simonzerafa I mean obviously #reuse / #UseLonger is better and if your options are "corporate surplus" or nothing then I'd never judge.
To me it's just that #ThinkPad as a brand has really died as every single Device is a #downgrade in #repairability & #upgradeability compared to my #X230Tablet:
They have #SolderedDownRAM even on P-Series #Workstation machines, not just cheap cheap #Lenovo consoomer devices.
Batteries ain't toolfree-swappable anymore!
#WWAN modules are worse (i.e. #Fibocom #850GL aka. #Intel #XMM7360)
#Linux support gets worse and neither Lenovo nor @ubuntu feel responsible on a "#Ubuntu-certified Workstation" (i.e. #P15v)
Less & Worse #Docking options.
Most machines don't offer Linux or to eveb to opt-out of #Govware noone should pay their overcharged premium for (in fact #Microsoft pays Lenovo $25 for every #Windows #preinstall so they don't ship Linux, they don't even pay the $10 for an #OEM-#UEFI-Key, much less the $135+ of a #SystemBuilder version they charge for!)
...
Personally, I wish I had €.€€€.€€€ so I could just develop the #NUCbook and be done with the #Enshittification of #Laptops / #Notebooks!
The dress that I made yesterday.
The fabric is a thrifted cotton table cloth from the 70s, and the pattern is based on Eastern Mediterranean and West Asian folk costumes.

I made a new dress from a 1970s table cloth today.
No pictures of the finished dress, because I had to leave for our Full Moon celebration before I could have any taken.
But you can see the trick tat I use when I need to gather a lot of fabric, especially if it's a stiffer fabric: zig-zag stitch over cotton yarn, and then pulling the yarn to gather the fabric. My mum taught me this . If you want very neat gathers you should go with the standard two rows of gathering stitches, and then sewing between them, but this is even enough for most projects. And no risk of breaking gathering threads.
