Anyone in Tacoma or South Sound interested in this bed for free? I threw it up on Craigslist but no one was interested so figured I would see if anyone here would like it for free. Great bed, my partner just wanted to get an all wood bed.

If so feel free to respond to the CL post below and mention you saw it here. (Mastodon DM's are not private is why)

Does anyone in the UK want a few hundred chunky 1N5407 diodes?

I can't see myself using more than maybe 50 at most in the rest of my life, the rest are free if you pay postage.

I've not much idea how many there are; maybe 500-1000 range?

I have more components and other stuff too....

Anyone need some Jacobsen's HKR catalyst? I've got ~1 g that I won't need again. Not sending to an unaffiliated rando - I'll need to confirm you are somewhere qualified to handle it. US only.

#Oregon - Top tips for #gardeners to help fight #ClimateChange

Brooke Edmunds
Published September 2021, Reviewed 2025

"As Oregon gardeners have noticed, our climate is changing. This is primarily due to human activities releasing excessive greenhouse gases into the atmosphere over the last 150 years. As a result, we’re seeing temperatures increasing, periods of #drought expanding, and we are experiencing more #SevereWeatherEvents than ever before. These changes have serious effects on our entire lives, including our #gardens.

"Along with modifying what you plant in your garden as a reaction to these changing weather patterns, there are steps you can take to help slow the pace of climate change. Below are a few practical ideas to learn more, get involved and take action right in your own garden.
Learn more about climate change and get connected with your community

"Get up to date with the how and why of climate change on the United Nations’ Climate Action website. Get connected with others in your community: Join a local climate organizing group or talk to your neighbors about starting one. Check with your city or county government about how it is addressing climate change and get involved with local initiatives.

Do more with less

"Need a garden tool for an occasional task? Here are a few ideas to avoid buying one-time use equipment:

"Check secondhand home improvement and thrift stores before buying new. Ask your local library to start a #LibraryOfThings and include garden tools. Or consider starting your own neighborhood tool-lending library. Also, look online and join your local sharing community (the #BuyNothing and #Freecycle networks are two examples).

Reduce the amount of single-use plastics that you use in the garden.

"If you purchase transplants, look for seedlings grown in biodegradable containers rather than plastic. If you start your own seeds, reuse plastic pots and seedling trays from last year rather than buying new or try making your own pots from newspaper. (Make sure to clean recycled plastic pots well to remove clinging soil and start with fresh containers if disease was present to avoid spreading.)

"Disposable plastic greenhouse sheeting (used for season extension or hoop house coverings) usually has a life span of three to five years. Switch out for a long-lasting material like #RecycledWindows or polycarbonate panels. Check with your local nursery to see if it recycles plastic pots. Some nurseries offer incentives for returning plastic pots.

Recycle your #FoodWaste into #compost

"Keep kitchen scraps and yard trimmings out of landfills with composting. No yard for a large compost pile? No problem! Look into starting a composting worm bin or check with your trash service to see if kitchen scraps can be included in your yard waste bin."

Okay, let's give this another try with #coffee ...

1. Surveying the strawberries I transplanted last night, settling #sprouts into their own containers, so that they can grow out into full #plants and give sweet wild & white soul #strawberries.
2. The little #freecycle depots in my #neighbourhood. My list of #curbscore items is a #blog post unto itself.
3. The two #KoFi subscribers who have given early #encouragement for #ReadyAndResilient. You make it possible.

The #gowanus interview with #hasanminhaj is the best thing I've seen on the internet in a while.

It left me feeling encouraged in my efforts to divest from the surveillance state and help my communities do the same.

I deleted Facebook the other day after the beeswaxgate incident. I want a local/hyperlocal swap meet type of setup that does not involve Facebook Marketplace. I hate that the #buynothing communities are largely using Meta to operate. Anyone have ideas or success stories about how to create something like this that is manageable to operate without big tech?

I'm looking right now for a used laser printer. I know they're all over FBM for between $20-50. But how do I find one otherwise???

Anyone in Dublin looking for a table? Our old one is available on Freecycle:

Finally getting around to looking for a new home for our reliable wee table (after moving into our new place a while ago).

Own transport essential, and minimum two peeps needed as it's v heavy (even in its constituent parts).

Holler with any questions!

EDIT: gone 🙃

hi #FediNerds 👋 does anyone need / want a very-lightly-used 4U 300mm deep network cabinet? I’ve migrated my modest stack of gear to a new 12U one so this one’s STR & #free to a good home

details here -> https://dataworld.com.au/product/4ru-300mm-deep-wall-mount-cabinet/

it’s available for pickup in #Canberra or I’m happy to ship it elsewhere in #Aus if you think it’s worth it & will cover shipping costs 💁‍♀️

I was very confused, then I checked the date

3/3

I picked up a 2017 Dell off #Freecycle last year, all it needed was a new battery. Now it's a functioning laptop again, running LMDE 7. I showed him where the WiFi settings are, and the icon for Firefox, and now the neighbors are good to go for a trip to visit family and play with their grandchild.

Slightly sideways answer but just checking whether you've heard of #freecycle?
Looks like the Seattle group is pretty active
