• I'm writing this on the train to [[Bern]], after which I will make a few connections and make my way to [[Puidoux]] where I'll join a [[party in the forest]].
  • It's going to be quite cold tonight and the party goes on until Sunday afternoon, so I'm happy I got some [[Merino]] underpants and a long sleeved shirt yesterday :)
  • I caught up with [[Eerie Shell]] and [[Kris]] over messaging.
• I say [[We Will Defeat Moloch]].

• [[Wasteland]]

  • [[Food waste]] and [[gleaning]].

• Writing prose in [[Emacs]] with [[Termux]] is a little weird.

  • It's because you have to workaround the fact that terminal emulators don't generally work well with touch keyboards.
  • Termux solves this cleverly with a text input view you can access by swiping left on the extra keys row.
  • It's neat, but not optimal for longer-form writing.
  • Options:
    • Use orgzly for longer text input.
    • Try Emacs native Android build again.
    • Stick with it, it's not that bad.

• Going all in on [[libre software]] and [[open hardware]] is a key part of [[digital ecosocialism]].

  • That said, use of proprietary alternatives may be necessary during transition.

• Provisioning the [[knowledge commons]] with info on what software is good, how to use it, how to switch to it, etc, also very important.

• [[Wasteland]]

  • [[Soil]], [[composting]], and a surprise mention of [[metabolic rift]].
  • It's a well-written book - well paced, informative, humorous.
  • [[Biogas]].

• [[Waste]] and what you do with it is an important part of any [[system]].

  • This is part of why I'm finding [[Wasteland]] so interesting.
    • Here the system is society.
  • You can try and reuse it circulate it back into your system. Or you sink it somewhere in the environment.
    • It seems though, nothing is ever truly a sink - it always comes back one way or another…
  • Or you try and reduce how much of it there is in the first place.
