  • Twenty four US states are now considering legislation to allow small, plug-in solar power systems that connect directly into a wall socket.

    Jump

  • In Germany, where these "balcony solar" devices have been approved for years and seem to be the most popular out of any country, the panels have all kinds of safety mechanisms. One of them is a mechanism that shuts of the power coming from the panel if it detects that line power has been lost. It seems that this is what would prevent it from shocking electricians working on lines that they think are unpowered. This article goes into details about the various safety mechanisms on these: https://balkon.solar/news/2025/03/17/how-does-plug-in-pv-in-germany-work/

  • SLRPNK admins discuss the hexbear smear campaign against piefed

    Jump

  • Yeah, Python was a warning sign when I first heard of Piefed. I then decided I didn't want anything to do with it or instances running it when I learned that hexbear and lemmygrad blocks are hardcoded in the source code. This is also touched upon in more detail in the original thread where @RedWizard@hexbear.net posted the analysis.

  • Thanks. I was wondering if mbin was still actively being used and developed.

  • Thanks. I knew that kbin had been forked to mbin, but didn't know whether mbin development had continued after that.

  • Thank you, that is insightful and useful. I'll definitely keep that in mind for if another opportunity like this comes up.

  • Though it is a bit opinionated, it’s good to have another alternative in the threadiverse.

    Whatever happened to kbin -> mbin? That was another early threadiverse alternative, but I don't hear much about it anymore.

  • What backing is there for this strike? For example, are there any labor unions, community organizations, and cultural leaders involved like in the recent Jan 23rd Minnesota strike? [Edit: the answer is a pleasant yes! https://nationalshutdown.org/home#endorsers ]

    Thanks for linking it. I had seen it. It's a legitimate question. There seem to be lots of small organizations, but I haven't noticed any of the major national unions yet. However, we have to start somewhere. If we could only build momentum on this, perhaps it could grow into something much larger.

    Jump

  • Right, I'm thinking this way too, but it seems that there are many dimensions to this question. Aside from potential impacts on me and on my employer, I'm wondering by which mechanism does a general strike create an impact? Upward pressure? News coverage? Public sentiment and consciousness? All of them combined?

  • Honestly, this question is on my mind as well.

  • This is a different situation because we're not making demands of our respective employers but of the federal government. I'm not sure what the right answer is.
