@jeffhykin Awesome, thanks! If I come across any myself I’ll send them your way. Can’t hurt to see what other systems are doing.

@jeffhykin I have a solid collection of tools I’ve built up over the last decade or so. My two-car garage is a woodworking shop, plus I have basic stuff for electrical and plumbing work. I lend my tools on occasion to friends and family, but I usually go with the tools to help with whatever the project is. That’s obviously not scalable though. It’s not quite what you’re talking about, but I’ve considered a “private library” setup for my tools. Do you have any software suggestions for tracking?

@AEMarling @ChaoticNeutralCzech The two in your projection are definitely appropriate, and are how I found your post. Maybe #GuerillaActivism and #ClimateCrisis. Be sure to use PascalCase for hashtags so that screen readers break them into sane words, and use alt text for your images :)

@schmorpel additionally, using containers allows for wrapping of dependencies. If I have one application that uses python 2.7 and another that uses python 3, installing both versions on the host system could cause conflicts. But containers have separated file systems, so they can each have their own dependencies without conflict. Mastodon runs a web service to serve http content, a database, various workers etc that can all run together on an separate network stack from other containers.

@schmorpel It’s about defense in depth. If you are running an application inside of a docker container, it’s much more difficult for it to interact with or compromise other applications running in other containers or on the host system. So if I’m running a bookwyrm instance and a mastodon instance in separate containers, and there’s a security flaw in bookwyrm that someone exploits, that doesn’t mean they automatically get access to the mastodon stuff too.

@syl @poVoq the Monk and Robot series is fantastic. Also recommend A Half-Built Garden and The Terraformers.

@syl thanks!

@syl https://wiki.futurelab.social/en/TheLibrary is a good place to start :)

@may_pretender LoRa/MQTT battery/solar powered air quality sensor? Something that could be deployed en mass to an apartment building roof or across a national park to provide air quality information back to a central location.
