Is there anything you could recommend for him to see, any place to visit, people to meet? Do you know anyone from #freifunk who could show him how the network works?
He might not be into software or hardware enough to appreciate cBase, he is more interested in city scale transport systems, urban planning and so on.

"Wouldn’t it be nice to celebrate with the first-ever global treaty to curb the world’s mounting plastic pollution problem?
That’s not a completely unrealistic outcome. Indeed, since its inception in 1970, Earth Day has grown into an international movement with the potential to seriously influence policy. This year’s theme is Planet vs. Plastics, and global leaders will convene in Canada later in the week to lay plans for what could be the most significant environmental deal since the 2015 Paris Agreement..."
Global plastic treaty talks are happening. What do stakeholders want? By Valerie Volcovici, April 22, 2024
#HappyEarthDay Is there anything more #sustainable than a willow (or other natural fiber) basket? I use the #willow for #baskets , plant supports, living fences, #huglekultur , kindling, garden terraces and so much more. Cutting it makes it grow vigorously.

In yet another link to The Photographer's Gallery, I found this project "The Image at the End of the World" showing a great diagram (2021) of "Less is more" #sustainable technologies.
The project focuses on finding alternatives that help bring down the carbon footprint of our networked environment. Diagram is a great way to visualise relationships to #Solarpunk#PermaComputing#MeshNetwork and connect to various communities and projects that exist.
To all the #webdev folks using #php in their stack. Did you know that using count($myArr) in your for loops' check uses almost twice as much energy than saving this value to a variable and using that one?
On my laptop, a for-loop used 0.79 Watts with a pre-calculated count(), and 1.51 Watts when calling the function in the loop's check.
Some recent drystone work. A complete strip out and rebuild of this garden retaining wall which failed after only 30 years due to traced stone. All stone reused and we brought in some local fieldstone too.
Super sustainable, beautiful, lasts for generations. What's not to like?
The CIFO x Ars Electronica Awards 2024 are honoring innovative #mediaart from Latin America for the third time in a row.
This year’s winning projects by Federico Gloriani (AR) and Guely Morató Loredo (BO) use modern media technologies to address the ecological (im)balance and the use of raw materials in Latin America. The common link: a reflection on #sustainable alternatives.
