First day of the farmers market in Viroqua. They made the spaces a foot narrower this year, I really had to squeeze myself in. It was encouraging to see a lot of new faces. Now to activate my social mode after a long winter of mostly being alone.
permaculture
#introduction après quelque temps sur mastodon :
- intéressé (assez pour y passer trop de temps) par les outils informatiques du monde #libre en commençant par #linux (#MXlinux user here) mais aussi #android et #foss
- réfléchit aux outils libres... qui libèrent ! notamment autour de la #décentralisation et du #smallweb #smolweb
- kiffe la musique du #Mali
- de manière très originale aime la #nature, les #arbres, et développe ses compétences en #permaculture
- un peu de #photographie de rue
Do you hate #broligarchs?
#Billionaires? #AiSlop but still think there is merit in #AI?
Here is my proposal for a stand alone.
OFFGRID COMMUNITY AI SYSTEM.
That's right.Your very own co-op AI
The calculations are very much back of the envelope, first cut, but quite feasible.
A 32billion parameters, frontier level performance compatable open source #llm model. The power requirements is that of 3AC units including cooling. Serves 15-20 concurrent users. 40 households of 4 people each (taking into account actual AI model distributed use metrics and contention ratios)
40 households, subscribing at $30/month over 2 years + power (solar). Train with your own datasets.
Entire set up takes half a rack.
LETS GO!!!

... a much needed break from tomato madness 😅

I did it. I finally used my hoard of photos to make a video celebrating a year of free gardening in a trailer park.
Cando semella que non saímos do inverno, vira o tempo, e bótasenos a primavera enriba de socato. Agora a correr a transplantar as últimas árbores na finca e as primeiras plantas na horta 🌱💚

Where do the #lowtech and #NeoLuddites hang out? The #permaculture and #bicycle geeks? The co-op and #RepairCafe heroes?
Looking for alternate scenes around alternate living: sharing, building, eating, and learning together.
Much obliged.
tomato season has begun 😋
SAMBUCA NOCTURNE is my first ever elderberry mead. A mix of 3 different cultivars of elderberry, slightly dry and made with local honey. A purple mouthed definition of the Driftless signature.
New #gardening video up! You can choose to see it on my blog, read the script on my blog, watch me on YouTube for a chance of seeing Mr. Freddy "the kitty" Mercury, or listen to it, visuals aren't necessary.
I've been working on a book about my practice of Paradise Gardening which combines a wide range of approaches from the practical to the theoretical to the conceptual to the speculative. This screen is an approach I'm exploring about non-human cultures in the manifestation of Paradise Gardening. I'm interested in comments, additions, criticisms, advice about characterizing non-anthropomorphic cultures and their interactions.

seriously eating out of the garden now 😋
This is how we (I) sow. 🌱
We buy fresh fruits/vegetables/legumes (best organic origin), we eat them, we safe some seedlings, let them sprout and throw them over compost. All organical leftovers from the kitchen come directly to the plants. We NEVER till. We cover soil and seedlings with organic material. Let build flowers, take seeds. 💫

🍅 Tomato growers, settle this:
Do you prefer tomatoes fresh from the garden, still warm from the sun…
or chilled in the fridge?
I’m genuinely curious. 👀
Boost this and let’s see which side wins! 🌱🍅
