  • What about something like that ?

    8 houses in a row, built using a wood structure and straw bale wall for insulation (thermal AND phonic insulation) and clay plaster. So the construction material is storing CO2 rather than emitting tons of CO2 like concrete does.

    It collects rainwater for the garden and has enough solar panels for the community and to contribute to the electrical consumption of the village around it.

    It leaves a lot of space for land to develop a food forest, permaculture projects and leave space for biodiversity.


















  • Yep, I think we pictures are becoming a valuable as text and it is fine, we just need to get used to it.

    Before photography became mainstream the only source of information was written, it is extremely simple to make a fake story so people had to rely on trusted sources. Then for a short period of history photography became a (kinda) reliable sources of information by itself and this trust system lost its importance.

    In most cases seeing a photo means that we were seeing a true reflection of what happened, especially if we were song multiple photos of the same event.

    Now we are arriving at the end of this period, we cannot trust a photo by itself anymore, tampering a photo is becoming as easy as writing a fake story. This is a great opportunity for journalists I believe.


  • For 3D printers I think prusa is the bramd that can be trusted with quality.

    They are expensive but made in Europe and very reliable out of the box. I’ve been printing tons of parts for the renovation of my house and tools organization with no issues. I just start the print and come back once it done. Now I even do it remotely from work.

    Compared to my brother who had a Ender 3, tinkered quite a lot with it but was constantly baby sitting the prints and eventually just gave up on it.
