Hey! It looks like a lot of people are doing #introduction and reintroduction posts because of the ongoing exodus from other social media.
I don't go by my real name on here, and I prefer not to give any pronouns for the sake of anonymity- refer to me however you like! My avatar is
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind from the film of the same name. #SolarPunk
I toot a lot about #SolarCooking because it's a free, zero pollution way to cook that is ideal for summer cooking because it doesn't heat your home or strain the electric grid. And it's fun! I'm looking to test the boundaries of weather and seasons for solar cooking in my region.
I made my own #SolarOven / #SolarCooker out of free materials (cardboard boxes from the recycling, plastic bags, a scrap piece of clear acrylic) and some cheap supplies that tend to get used once and thrown away. (Glue, tape, aluminum foil). Pics attached (I've made two of them so far!)
People ask me sometimes for plans, and I usually direct them to the Solar Cooking Wiki. https://solarcooking.fandom.com/wiki/Solar_Cooking_Wiki_(Home) That's where I learned most of what I know now (plus my own first hand experience). If you like paper books, Cooking With Sunshine by Lorraine Anderson is an excellent reference. I'm also in the process of writing a zine about solar cooking that I'll distribute for free once it's done!
All the food I make in the solar cooker and otherwise is #vegan because I feel strongly that it's the fairest and most sustainable way to eat. I also focus on making real food from scratch (especially #beans and #bread) to show how useful the solar oven is. It's not an Easy Bake Oven! (Though I have baked a cake in it).
I also toot and share stuff about the #ClimateCrisis, #veganism, #urbanism #ebikes and #libraries, among other things... It's all linked together. I want to be part of a fair and sustainable world for all people. Proud to be an anarchist, #NoGodsNoMasters #NoBordersNoNations -

@The Nexus of Privacy And why fork Mastodon, the most lack-lustre, underwhelming, underequipped and out-dated of all Fediverse projects, if the Fediverse already offers what you're looking for?
Because it does.
Imagine something that gives you the power to adjust things like- who can see your posts
- who can send you their posts
- who can see your profile
- who can see your connections
- who can comment on or fave your posts
- who can send you DMs (yes, this is a separate setting)
- who can quote or boost your posts
- and many more
Now imagine these permissions can be given to, depending on the setting, seven or eight different subsets of users, including but not limited to:- only yourself
- only your own confirmed connections (yes, their logins will be recognised)
- only those of your connections whom you explicitly grant that permission by adding them to a privacy group which grants that permission
It gets even better: If something is not allowed, it isn't just deleted from your timeline. It is rejected at server level.
Mind-blowing? Maybe.
Utter science-fiction? No. Fediverse reality since 2012, almost four years longer than Mastodon has existed.
Okay, let me add some more stuff on top.
How about a character limit of not 500, not a few thousand, but infinite?
How about the option of being safe from instance shutdowns because all your content, your posts, your contacts in both directions, your files, your settings, your everything simultaneously exists on multiple independent server instances?
Now this has to be a fever dream, right?
Nope. Reality since 2012 when @Mike Macgirvin 🖥️, already creator of the Facebook alternative Friendica, started developing more and more advanced and powerful Fediverse server applications, from 2013's Red Matrix to 2015's Hubzilla (which still exists, which I'm using) to 2018's Zap and finally to the most recent and most advanced incarnation, established in October, 2021 and still advancing ever since.
The streams repository.
Whatever you may want to add to Mastodon, (streams) very likely already has it implemented right now.
Whatever marginalised, harassed groups may wish the Fediverse to have, (streams) very likely already has it implemented right now. Plus stuff they wouldn't even dare to dream of.
It has been developed, improved and advanced for 14 years, longer than any other Fediverse project, by someone who, in these 16 years, created three Fediverse protocols and about a dozen Fediverse projects, every last one of them vastly more powerful than Mastodon or any of its forks would ever dare to be.
I'll let Mike speak for himself:
Mike Macgirvin 🖥️ schrieb den folgenden Beitrag Fri, 12 Jan 2024 23:38:02 +0100A brief overview of the streams repository.
The streams repository is a fediverse server with a long history. It began in 2010 as a decentralised Facebook alternative called Mistpark. It has gone through a number of twists and turns in its long journey of providing federated communications. The fediverse servers Friendica and Hubzilla are early branches of this repository.
The first thing to be aware of when discussing the streams repository is that it has no brand or brand identity. None. The name is the name of a code repository. Hence "the streams repository". It isn't a product. It's just a collection of code which implements a fediverse server that does some really cool stuff. There is no flagship instance. There is no mascot. In fact all brand information has been removed. You are free to release it under your own brand. Whatever you decide to call your instance of the software is the only brand you'll see. The software is in the public domain to the extent permissable by law. There is no license.
If you look for the streams repository in a list of popular fediverse servers, you won't find it. We're not big on tracking and other spyware. Nobody knows how many instances there are or how many Monthly Active Users there are. These things are probably important to corporations considering takeover targets. They aren't so important to people sharing things with friends and family.
Due to its origins as a Facebook alternative, the software has a completely different focus than those fediverse projects modelled after Twitter/X. Everything is built around the use of permissions and the resulting online safety that permissions-based systems provide. Comment controls are built-in. Uploaded media and document libraries are built-in and media access can be restricted with fine-grained permissions - as can your posts. Groups are built-in. "Circles" are built-in. Events are built-in. Search and search permissions? Yup. Built-in also. It's based on Opensearch. You can even search from your browser and find anything you have permission to search for. Spam is practically non-existent. Online harrassment and abuse are likewise almost non-existent. Moderation is a built-in capability. If you're not sure about a new contact, set them to moderated, and you'll have a chance to approve all of their comments to your posts before those comments are shared with your true friends and family. For many fediverse projects, the only way to control this kind of abusive behaviour is through blocking individuals or entire websites. The streams repository offers this ability as well. You'll just find that you hardly ever need to use it.
Because federated social media is a different model of communications based on decentralisation, cross-domain single sign-on is also built-in. All of the streams instances interact cooperatively to provide what looks like one huge instance to anybody using it - even though it consists of hundreds of instances of all sizes.
Nomadic identity is built-in. You can clone your identity to another instance and we will keep them in sync to the best of our ability. If one server goes down, no big deal. Use the other. If it comes back up again, you can go back. If it stays down forever, no big deal. All of your friends and all your content are available on any of your cloned instances. So are your photos and videos, and so are your permission settings. If you made a video of the kids to share with grandma (and nobody else), grandma can still see the video no matter what instance she accesses it from. Nobody else can.
Choose from our library of custom filters and algorithms if you need better control of the stuff that lands in your stream. By default, your conversations are restricted to your friends and are not public. You can change this if you want, but this is the most sensible default for a safe online experience.
There are no inherent limits to the length of posts or the number of photos/videos you can attach or really any limits at all. You can just share stuff without concerning yourself with any of these arbitrary limitations.
Need an app? Just visit a website running the streams repository code and and install it from your browser.
Nobody is trying to sell you this software or aggressively convince you to use it. What we're trying to do is show you through our own actions and example that there are more sensible ways to create federated social networks than what you've probably experienced.
You can find us at https://codeberg.org/streams/streams
A support group is provided at @Streams
Have a wonderful day.
Mike Macgirvin 🖥️ schrieb den folgenden Beitrag Sun, 14 Apr 2024 23:13:02 +0200 Here is what we've created:
Conversations: communicate directly with the people in the conversation, not have completely isolated conversations with your followers and their followers shouting at each other -- and neither audience seeing the responses of the others.
Permissions: If you haven't been given permission to speak, you aren't part of the conversation. If you have not been granted permission to view a photo or video, you won't see it.
Audience: Your choices go far beyond public and not public. Yes, we have groups. We also have circles. You can also just select a dozen people right now and have a conversation only with them.
Nomadic identity, amalgamated identities and single sign-on: Site and project/product boundaries don't exist. It's one big space and you are you - no matter what service or services you use.
Post limits, photo limits, poll limits: None.
Rich content: Use markdown, bbcode, or HTML. Any of them or all of them.
Rules: You make them.
Algorithms: You can install them if you want. You can remove them. You control them and can tweak them.
And much more.
We are the streams repository.
https://codeberg.org/streams/streams
So why does it absolutely have to be Mastodon if the Fediverse has something so much better to offer, readily available in a stable release right now?

Infodumplings: Interstitial Journaling and Star Stuff
For the April 23rd edition of Infodumplings: Bring Your Muchness Down the Rabbit Hole:
- Ryan shared about Bullet Journaling + Junk Journaling + Interstitial Journaling.
- We watched “The BEST Productivity Method Ever for ADHD | Interstitial Journaling – YouTube“.
- We riffed and reflected on Star Stuff as a group.
Journaling Reflection Questions
Opening
- What does your current relationship with journaling look like? Is it something you do, something you’ve tried and abandoned, or something that’s always felt out of reach?
- Ryan describes keeping a notebook open next to him as a “regulatory artifact and as working memory.” Do you have something that plays that role for you — analog or digital?
Bullet Journaling
- The NAME system (Notes, Actions, Moods, Events) and rapid logging are designed to reduce friction. What gets in the way of capturing things for you — too much to write, decision fatigue, forgetting the system, something else?
- Migration asks: “Is this actually worth migrating, or am I just hoarding tasks?” What would it feel like to give yourself permission to drop a task rather than carry it forward?
- Bullet journaling is described as compatible with neurodivergent ways of thinking because it externalizes working memory. Where in your life do you notice the cost of keeping things in your head instead of somewhere external?
Junk Journaling
- Junk journaling’s ethos is anti-perfectionist — because the materials are “junk,” there’s nothing precious to protect. Is there a creative practice in your life where the stakes feel low enough to just make something? What makes it feel safe?
- The post describes junk journaling as “a natural accompaniment to listening, thinking, or decompressing.” What do your hands need to be doing when your mind is processing something difficult or drifting?
- What ephemera or “junk” do you already accumulate that might want to go somewhere?
Interstitial Journaling
- The transition between tasks is described as a moment of “mental residue” — the previous context bleeding into the next thing. Where do you notice this happening in your day?
- Interstitial journaling is a form of cognitive offloading: moving things from working memory onto the page so your mind can let them go. What are you currently carrying in your head that you haven’t written down?
- When a distracting thought arises mid-task, the practice offers a third option between acting on it and suppressing it: write it down and return to it at the next transition. How does that land for you?
The Mix
- The three practices together are described as addressing “the organizational brain, the expressive body, and the transitioning self.” Which of those feels most unmet for you right now?
- Ryan says this is “journaling as tool, as companion, and as practice rather than as performance.” What would journaling as performance look like — and what would it take to step away from that?
- What’s one small experiment you might try this week?
Star Stuff Reflection Questions
The star stuff framing does a lot of work because it positions the writer as ancient, cosmic, made of real matter.
Some writing or speaking prompt directions that fit the ethos:
- “You are made of exploded stars. What are you made of, emotionally, today?”
- “What in you feels elemental right now — fire, water, pressure, light?”
- “Name something you’re carrying that’s older than you.”
- “What part of you is still forming?”
- “Where did you come from, and where are you going?”
As a prompt structure
L★S could be an acronym that doubles as a journaling framework:
- L — Look back (what just happened / how you got here)
- ★ — The still point (what’s true right now, underneath everything)
- S — Set forward (what you’re moving toward)

No Water. No Shade. Just Me, an Observatory, and Fly Hell.
I flew into the actual furnace of Australia to do some routine maintenance on an observatory… but nothing about this trip was routine.
The observatory needed repairs. The flies needed blood. The sun wanted me dead.
It was hot, it was remote, and I was aggressively outnumbered by insects with no respect for personal space.This is what happens when you mix astronomy, the Outback, and a complete disregard for self-preservation. 🔧🪰☀️

Nebular Nook
24x16 in, Oil, 2021A new star stretches out their solar wind in the nebulous dust of deceased giants. In just a few million years, their charge particles will carve out a bubble like nest for themselves in the dust while a family of planets likely form, enriched with elements created by the previous star and ready for the complex chemistry of life to begin.
