I don’t know if you’d find it worthwhile to put them all in one place too, but if you do, PoVoq (who runs the site) got the Movim microblogging platform set up and linked with Lemmy so if you have an account here, you can just start using it. It also uses the same markup language as Lemmy so you can just set a Lemmy post to edit, copy it, and paste it over there. I use it for my making and fixing stuff projects.

I love the concept of passive greenhouses, and even did a photobash of one when people in another community were wanting more winter solarpunk art (though these are more like the passive greenhouses highlighted in the Low Tech magazine article than a proper Walipini with the steeper windows etc).

I also like this image for walipinis, as it shows the cold sump though I don’t think the roof is right for where I am.

I definitely like the look of some of them

Very cool! Also just wanted to say I really appreciate these posts with their mix of text and images. Thanks for highlighting so many cool solarpunk concepts!

With a mountain stream fed by springs or snowmelt, I’d trust that to rinse sweat and dirt out of clothes or blankets well enough. If you’re making surgical dressings or something, yeah, sterilize them separately.

Edit: plus, there may very well be a basin nearby you can use to suds up the fabric (ideally with something less damaging to waterways than most laundry soaps)

This is really interesting! I’ve never heard of pulling a snowplow before. Or using anything besides a truck. I’d love to see more pictures of your setup but if that was blurred for identity protection then no worries!

It’s cool to see out-of-the-box solutions for stuff I’ve seen my whole life.

I really like the range of possibilities you’re considering - especially for options for replacing the highest-power-consuming appliances, especially those which only use the power to produce heat. I’ve got a plan for a scene of a workshop that’ll use one, but I think first I want to try a solarpunk kitchen.

I’m also thinking about trying to get my anvil back from a friend, buying a fresnel lens, and building a frame for it with a fire pot built in at the focal point, and seeing if I can use it like a solar forge.
