Cool, but it there's no links for more info, and it doesn't seem to work in the USA at all.
I think you're describing what is known as "district energy" systems.
I may be out of the loop, but who's sanctions is China violating?
Just for my own understanding, you're not insinuating the US is currently playing fair with regards to starting the war that caused all this?
Cyber-warfare probably shouldn't involve the entire civilian population's phones.

I think the term used to describe the imposed cost regulation is 'Medical Loss Ratio (MLR)', and the providers that own both ends of the claims transactions can use inflated costs to artificially manipulate their MLR.

That number is in the ballpark of what it costs to install solar on a rooftop here in Minnesota.

The other part is these solar gardens don't stop paying for your electric bill if you move, so it's especially equitable for renters.

>We should be investing solar in lower income communities, as those people could really use cheaper utilities, and any saving they get would immediately go back into their communities.

i am assuming the majority of those users are not active then?

are you using external storage for user media elsewhere?

do you federate with the broader ecosystem?

these numbers are otherwise nonsensical, a 20 dollar do droplet has like 100gb of storage space, and 3Tb of transfer, that'd be chewed up in less than a week by those users.

you have 5000 users on a mastodon instance?

i used to run an instance and i am skeptical of your numbers.

I think it's probably better to think of it more as top down (club of rome, malthusians, austerity measures) vs bottom up (kohei saito, eco-socialists, shorter work weeks) degrowth.

i'm kinda surprised this project didn't use ostree with apt.

curious about this as well
hamas is the governing body of gaza, so any government workers would technically be hamas.

don't confuse post office workers for military personnel just cuz they work for the government.

if you're using nixos, just to do provisioning, I would argue OStree is a better fit.
