The server on which our Movim, XMPP server and the Wiki runs will be down for 1 hour this weekend as I am swapping out the CPU and cooler for a stronger one. SLRPNK Lemmy, the alternative frontends and the Etherpad will not be effected. There will also be a few other short disruptions in the coming days as I am switching around a few other things with the hardware, but those should be only a few seconds to minutes at most. Edit: Double-checking the specs I just now realized that I have to do it in a different way. Edit2: Will still do a short maintenance to replace the CPU cooler, but not the CPU as the new one needs a different type of memory.

On another technical note: I finally got around installing the solar-panels on the roof of the place that acts as the "datacenter" for the SLRPNK servers. The servers were already running on battery charged at night since March of this year (mostly wind and geothermal grid power then) and now I will try to run them fully on solar-power.
It's not a complete off-grid system, so if there is a power shortage it will still pull from the grid (which at peak times is sadly still 60% fossil fuel here), but I am reasonably confident that most of the time this will not be necessary as the battery has sufficient capacity.

You might want to first identify your main power consumption and at what time this occurs. 300$ seems very high in general, but if that is for example mostly AC usage during the day, you might be able to not have to buy as large of a battery since peak consumption coincidences with peak production.

While your post does mention notifications which really helps with engagement and was lacking from most forums, the main issue was IMHO lack of good mobile support of all the main forum platforms until as you said Discourse came along, but by then it was too late.

It would be also really useful to have a database of oil company executives and other shitty people that aren't easy to recognize but worth refusing service etc.

### October 2024 meta post October is upon us! And with it, a new Monthly Meta Post! Us admins check the comments to this post frequently, so in addition to having some of the latest news and announcements, it also acts as a sort of community square to discuss anything and everything related to the instance. Onto the news of the month. #### Communities in need of new mods We regularly prune abandoned communities, but sometimes there are those that have been quite active in the past and would benefit from someone new taking the over and doing moderation. For example, these communities have seemingly inactive moderators: - [/c/composting](https://slrpnk.net/c/composting) - [/c/food](https://slrpnk.net/c/food) - [/c/offgrid](https://slrpnk.net/c/offgrid) - [/c/birding](https://slrpnk.net/c/birding) - [/c/bootstrappable](https://slrpnk.net/c/bootstrappable) So speak up if you would like to take over these communities as a mod, or maybe you are one of the mods of these communities and have just been lurking for several months? In both cases please let us know below, or otherwise we will consider pruning these communities next month. #### Language specific Solarpunk communities Since SLRPNK is primarily English speaking, we would like to take this opportunity to highlight some non-english Solarpunk communities on other Lemmy instances: - [Solarpunk francophone](https://jlai.lu/c/solarpunk) on jlai.lu - Polish speaking [Solarpunk community](https://szmer.info/c/solarpunk) on szmer.info - [Solarpunk Lusófona](https://lemmy.eco.br/c/solarpunk) on lemmy.eco.br - Defunct [German speaking Solarpunk community](https://slrpnk.net/c/solarpunk@feddit.de) on feddit.de If you know any others, please let us know in the comments. If you are interested in opening a language specific Solarpunk community here on SLRPNK (and are willing to moderate it well, given we admins are likely unable to support in languages we don't speak), let us know and we can discuss the details. Some Asian language communities for example would probably cover an interesting niche that is currently not served at all. #### Photon as primary frontend for SLRPNK? (Update) As mentioned in last month's update, we are considering to move our [Photon frontend](https://photon.slrpnk.net) to the domain root to replace the current frontend. @punkisundead was so kind to develop a [custom color scheme](https://slrpnk.net/post/12925536/11215031) for it, emulating our current theming. So far there seem to be no blockers for this switch and neither were there any objections, so we will probably go ahead in the coming weeks and do the switch. The current frontend will be moved to a sub-domain most likely, and remain accessible there for those who prefer it. #### Technical Updates The previous issues with the NVMe drives and the wiki have been resolved, and currently the server is running without issues. This leaves us with the opportunity to play around with some new stuff and maybe fix the remaining smaller login issues with the [wiki](https://wiki.slrpnk.net). One plan is to improve the audio/video call features of our [Movim](https://movim.slrpnk.net) instance. We currently don't run our own STUN/TURN infrastructure, making it fail to connect sometimes, but that should be a relatively simple addition. Furthermore, it would be a nice preparation for the peer-to-peer group-call feature that is likely to land in Movim before the end of the year. There is also a [new Matrix to XMPP gateway](https://git.kappach.at/lda/Parsee) that might be worth exploring. It would allow contacting Matrix users in 1:1 chats and for Matrix users to enter our XMPP group-chats. Due to technical issues with the Matrix network, we will probably disable the reverse to prevent overloading the resources of our server. The support for incoming 1:1 messages might be interesting as Lemmy currently only has built in support for Matrix accounts/addresses in the profile (although we would love if that would change). On a side note: lemmy.eco.br is the first additional Lemmy instance that implemented [our XMPP account linking script](https://f-hub.org/Solarpunk/ejabberd-auth-lemmy) and now also offers XMPP accounts to all of their approximately 2000 members. If you know a Lemmy instance admin that might be also interested in this, please let us know and we are happy to help set it up. The needed Ejabberd server is very low resource use, so it can be run next to Lemmy without problems. #### Open Discussion It’s now your turn to tell us what’s new! Any topic related to this community, our infrastructure, or the Fediverse at large is fair game. If you’ve created a new community, this is a great thread to tell us about it. All comments will get extra visibility up until the beginning of next month. Got questions? Ask’em!

It really is an enterprise solution and I doubt your family will be happy with it.
Why not just set up a Snikket server and use that? You can easily create group-chats and share pictures and videos there and the interface is similar to WhatsApp.

AFAIK waren die schon immer in Riga und es wird nicht in Russland entwickelt. Aber ja, die Gründer gehöhren zu der relativ großen russischsprachigen Minderheit in Lettland und es gibt Firmenbeziehungen nach Russland, aber das war bis vor kurzem ziemlich normal in den baltischen Staaten.

Wenn dein Handy eSIM Unterstützung hat gibt es ganz gute ausländische Angebote. z.B. hab ich von BNE eSIM einen Datenvertrag der in ganz Europa gültig ist (nicht nur das zeitlich limitierte EU roaming) und mir nie ablaufende 20GB Daten gibt. Hab ich jetzt c.a. ein Jahr und insgesammt 3GB verbraucht (Ich nutze es fast nur für XMPP mobil), d.h. ein paar Jahre sollten die 20GB reichen, und sonst kann man auch einfach nachbuchen.

Badly insulated and huge open spaces that waste a lot of power if heated or cooled. In addition the entire concept of car dependent suburbs and sprawling development into the country side is an environmental disaster all on its own.

Die meines wissens größte kurdische politische Partei in der Türkei, die HDP wird allgemein als PKK nah bzw. sogar als der politische Arm der PKK bezeichnet.
Es ist ein gewaltiger Unterschied ob jemand "PKK nah" oder ein aktives Mitglied ist. Reine PKK nähe ist meines Wissens nach kein automatischer Asyl Ablehnungsgrund, aber sicher wird das nun bei der Abschiebung gerne als Grund genannt werden.
Ich finde es erlich gesagt sehr anmaßend von dir was du hier über mich annimmst basierend auf wenigen und noch dazu völlig fehlinterpretierten Sätzen.

Gehts noch? Was interpretierst du bitte hier in meine Nachricht hinein was ich weder geschrieben noch gemeint habe?
Um Asyl zu bekommen muss man nachweisen das man konkret im Herkunftsland aus politischen oder ähnlichen Gründen verfolgt wird. Das trifft bei der Türkei vor allem bei politisch aktiven Kurden zu.
