  • So far I only have peppermint, gotu kola, strawberry (apparently you can use the leaves as well) and lavender. But I want to add more local plants, such as lemon balm. I’ll add some dried apple skin as well for more flavor. For the home server so far I only run jellyfin but I just got started recently. I am using Obsidian for note taking and such, I am pondering to host that myself as well and make it sync. What are you running on yours? I am still looking for ideas :)


  • I am also interested in sewing. Sometimes I buy second hand stuff online and then it doesn’t quite fit. If you can just change it yourself that would be awesome. Or just make your own from scratch. But I don’t have a sewing machine and don’t want to buy one because I am not sure I will stick with it.


  • With limited space I am growing some plants on my balcony. Decided to harvest and dry the herbs so I have supply during the winter. I want to make my own herb tea blend as well, let’s see how that goes. Also decided to get of the streaming sites and have my own server at home. I calculated the energy price and it will be cheaper for me. This at least saves energy during streaming because traffic doesn’t go through 10 routers on the way to my device. And I am on a renewable energy plan.



  • I randomly stumbled upon something called “Solidary agriculture” yesterday. People come together, pay a monthly price to keep a farm running. This makes the farm independent from draughts, bad harvests etc. In return for the money you get fresh produce throughout the year, no price fluctuations, you always get what was produced. Sometimes more sometimes less. If this isn’t Solarpunk I don’t know what is. It’s pretty easy as well, provided there is an initiative like that in your area.



  • Oh I will look into all of these! just last week I “fixed” a pocket book my boss lent me and that unfortunately looked a little rugged after coming on vacation with me. Painted over all the little cracks in the cover and it actually looked quite decent again afterwards. It did have a Little water damage though that I didn’t know what to do about. It was a cheap book and not even a good one so I kind of hoped he’d forget about it but nope lol. So far have not received a comment on the books state so I think I did an ok enough Job. Paperback to hardcover also seems interesting, so you can design a custom cover for your favorite book. Or as a gift? So many possibilities!
