Sure, but dead plant parts should be outside your house when decomposing. Same with food waste. Economy of scale still exists with municipal composting.

No need to accept mold in your house.

A huge part of cities (I’d argue the biggest part) is cleanliness and hygiene. Cities need to consolidate and remove their waste to avoid illness and outbreaks. There is also an economy of scale, a municipal composting station can break down more things, and more quickly, than everyone doing it at home (not that they can’t or shouldn’t if they want to).

The best way to keep decomposers out of your house is to move the things they want to decompose OUT of your house. This is way to much for an individual to manage in tight quarters, so we fall back on a city’s economy of scale.

Basically, a city needs a systematic approach to decomposition, it’s impractical and unhygienic to be doing so on a small scale within a city (the rules are certain different for something more rural or homestead-y)

When I lived in Montréal, I found the social services were very strong in my neighborhood (medical, libraries, transit, daycare, schools, parks, etc).

I attribute this to all stratas of income using the same services. My comparison of Ontario had different income levels using different services, which led to quality differences between those services.

Part of it is that windows and doors are way more efficient now.

If you want the whole house, you’ll need to crack the box to get at the phase split as it comes in.

If you want to track individual circuits, you should be able to do it outside the box. It will work with single phase at least,but not sure about dual-phase; but those are usually reserved for heavy appliances like stoves and dryers.

You can get meters that clamp over the wire, no electrician required.

I think might be a little more too this.

Mississauga is pretty clear one two things: grass no longer than 20cm and a ban on 25 specific nuisance weeds.

So just don’t grow grass or those 25 weeds?

Finally, a fellow chard hater.

What in the AI generated advertising is this?

I was specifically referring to Lufa Farm’s commercial rooftop farms. Each farm varies slightly in construction, operation, strengths, and weaknesses.

But thanks for those listservs, great resources.

One of the communes I lived at had a rooftop garden, & we had tons of issues with leaks and just the sheer weight of all that dirt and plant material on the structure.

In Montréal we have several large scale rooftop greenhouses built on top of warehouses. I’m guessing the warehouse construction is probably overbuilt to support the weight, but there haven’t been and major issues yet.

It might not be solarpunk, but it’s solarpunk wearing a tie at it’s day job to find it’s dreams. And their tomatoes are fucking delicious.

Ahh.

In that case I did see the video and voted correctly!

Hi, I didn’t get the trees on building reference.

The Bobiverse books are in a similar vein, and much more light hearted.

Solar punks with windmills, smh.

Are you using the correct http/https syntax?

My home assistant is on an old laptop, so obviously it’s names HAL 9000.

Once you prize your son off helldivers, you should play helldivers.

In all seriousness, homarr now has some fledgling home assistant integration, and I saw a really slick showcase in the discord where someone was using home assistant pages in iframes (mobile view) within a overall homarr page (desktop view).

Breaking change!

Now I’ve got to update my dashboards with the new name and icon 😀

In short, the issue was that the battery blinds don’t alert when they are low battery, and he didn’t think to hard-wire them in advance.

Ones that are close enough to power, he’s run some 5v lines on an automation timer.
