Eigg isn't connected to the UK national grid. Instead we generate 90% to 95% of our electricity from wind, sun, & water (hydro). Community-owned Eigg Electric was switched on in 2008. Islanders are trained and employed to manage it. Electricity costs 28p per unit/kWh. Before 2008 each property had its own diesel generator. Now we have 24kW of wind, 110kW of hydro, 170kW of solar PV, storage batteries, and a back up generator. Next challenge is #netzero #renewables #eigg http://isleofeigg.org/eigg-electric/

@kitty_kelliher So great to get a sixer all clear!
@acjay I’m also excited by being able to talk to whomever I want again, about anything. I had lost that functionality of cutting across timelines on the bird site as I had to lock my account. So excuse any over familiarity.
@acjay good question. An answer would do much to reduce number of Lines of Code. Im the wrong guy for an answer but would you tell me /tag me if you get one please? Interested in the idea of one funnel for product.

Is it possible to proxy my Fediverse identity?
I don't want to run my own instance, but I also want my identity to be instance independent. For example, if I was @me@acjay.com, but my actually presence remained hosted by Qoto. I believe this would require Qoto to be able to publish my posts under my domain rather than @acjay.
Does this concept exist on any instances?
Note that many email providers allow this under their "custom domain" functionality
@favus hi. Yeah it’s not like that other site... these introductions sound like one hand clapping. Anyway just to let you know I read it. I’m largely ignorant of assistive technologies but most definitely shouldn’t be, as I train web development.

I am retooting my introduction - just in case you missed it..
@favus@social.cleverlibre.org
well my #Introduction is that I think I am a pretty funny person! I am a PC gamer, an artist - and I train people on assistive technology as a job ...

Is anyone else having problems with avtar images loading up on #qoto? I have the generic elephant head showing in all accounts.
@rdaily are you planning on open sourcing this? 😊
@sp6ina things are just things, and if they need to go to put food on the table then so be it. I hope you will get them back ten times.

Hi #webperf friends! I'm here to make you a coaching offer.
The 2023 conference season is coming up, and there are so many frontend/SEO/UX/JS/etc. events that might welcome a good performance talk. I'm not an expert in all those areas, but I'm good at writing pitches. (As a former O'Reilly conference chair and current #PerfNow chair, I've reviewed hundreds of pitches, so I'm good at reading them, too.)
My DMs are open. If I can help you develop your proposal, I will. Please boost for reach!

@JonKramer moral of the story: always check to see if there are any vets in the room. PTSD beats evil, like some deadly version of rock, paper, scissors.

“Buying all the plants, and dogs, and amazing items in the world wasn’t going to fulfill the lonely because it was just a branch on the root of depression. And I needed to do some mother fucking gardening.”
Compelling writing that speaks, I feel, to us all after these last two and a half years, whatever our relationships may be. By @JustCallMeSio
