i can use the searchbar on jellyfin & if it’s not already there, i can request it using jellyseer within that same search bar, so it’s possible to integrate the two somehow.

i’m afraid i’m not sure of the specifics though, i’m only using a friend’s jellyfin 🫣

we have more power than they want you to realise, too 🙌

hell yeah, fair play to people for holding out! 🙌 it can’t be easy when farmers are getting compensated less and less for their labour, even though we don’t get food or clothes without farmers.

Eighty-six-year-old Mervin Raudabaugh, Jr., found a creative solution to end the pressure to sell two contiguous farms. He reportedly staved off developers by turning to “a farmland preservation program dedicating taxpayer dollars toward protecting agricultural resources.”

here’s hoping more people can do things like this to get data centre builders to back off! 🤞

it really depends, there are people who use solar power who aren’t solarpunk at all, and people who don’t use solar power at all who are very solarpunk!

i’d recommend a quick read of the solarpunk manifesto to give you an overview of what it’s like: https://slrpnk.net/post/350429

there’s the artistic side of solarpunk, because being able to imagine a better world in the first place is vital. then there’s the more practical side of solarpunk, where people are focused on making that better world happen here & now, on a global & local scale.

as you can imagine, the practical side of solarpunk would be pretty far-reaching, so it’s hard to know what resources to share, but there are a load of cool resources already in various communities on the solarpunk instance, so you might want to check out any that take your fancy. there’re resources on everything from foraging your own plants to prison abolition and landback!

i’m always trying to take notes & inspiration from solarpunk stories about what can be done here & now, so for me, if a story’s setting is post-apocalyptic or society only improved after some extinction event getting rid of most humans, i tend to skip it.

most of us have been consuming (or at least couldn’t avoid hearing about) apocalypse-themed media for our whole lives. i think it’s really important for us as a society to work on imagining a non-apocalyptic world, because we need to imagine something before we can make it reality. 🙌
