Infosec ExchangeTinker ☀️ (@tinker@infosec.exchange)Attached: 4 images Went out tonight with a guerrilla arborist and planted pawpaw seeds along various waterways! Pawpaws are a local native deciduous fruit bearing tree. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asimina_triloba) Not to be confused with papaya (also called pawpaws by some). These are green skinned fruits with yellow fruit inside. They taste kind of like sweet sticky melons with a hint of avocado? They taste amazing. Their seeds are quite large and they require a period of freezing over winter so they'll germinate in spring. This guerrilla arborist harvested seeds from last year, put them in a baggy with some sawdust and a little bit of water and chilled them in the fridge over the winter. We planted them today. They'll sprout in about six months and start producing fruit in about six years. I intend to harvest a lot of seeds this year and begin planting in earnest next year. We're building out the local food forests. Folks should eat for free. What native fruit bearing or food producing plants and trees are in your area? #solarPunk #guerrilaGardening #guerrillaArboring #foodForest #mutualAid

Wir haben eine #Balkonsolaranlage. Mittags schaltet der Wechselrichter (Hoymiles HMS1800) ab, wegen Netzüberspannung. Heute von einer Bekannten gehört, dass sie das gleiche Problem mit einer großen PV-Anlage haben. Eine kurze Recherche ergab, dass das Netz in dem Bereich überlastet ist. Kann das "schlechte" Netz eine Ursache sein? Vielleicht gibt es hier Menschen mit entsprechender Expertise, die dazu eine Vermutung haben.

Love this suggestion to turn a book into a zine — the idea was to make non-fiction books more accessible, but I think it works great for fiction too. I'd even suggested a few months back to a friend whose #book comes out this fall.

I've done this for the new #solarpunk anthology coming out Earth Day!

This ep of my pod talks about zines and how they're a sign of cultural change: brightgreenfutures.substack.co

#RepairCafe offers free fixes for broken items to help limit #environmental waste

by Nadja Woods, April 5, 2025

“I really like doing this, and for the planet, we don’t have to waste more resources trying to put something else new into the market. We already have great things, so there’s a multitude of reasons why I do this,” said Espinoza.

#Canada - How a #ScarboroughOntario couple is building community, one repair at a time

by Jessica Patterson
Published March 28, 2025

"Once a month, volunteers gather in a Scarborough, Ont., community centre to fix broken appliances, bicycles, housewares and computers and mend torn clothing – all for free. The Mid-Scarborough Hub Repair Café was launched 18 months ago by Krissan Veerasingam and Fizza Khalid, a couple on a mission to make Scarborough a kinder, greener place.

They both have day jobs – Mr. Veerasingam is a software developer, Ms. Khalid is a health and safety adviser – but volunteering is a big part of their lives. They founded the Scarborough Environmental Association (SEA), a non-profit organization that hosts events like pollinator plant giveaways, clothing swaps, sewing workshops and park clean-ups. The Repair Café is a key SEA initiative, focused on supporting low-income and historically disenfranchised communities. (Repair Cafés originated in Amsterdam in 2009 and there are now more than 3500 of them around the world.)"

What native fruit bearing or food producing plants and trees are in your area?

Plywood under mattress is still staying damp all day.

sigh

Still spinning my wheels on problems that never get solved.

I went all out today and replaced the 3 1x2s with *5* 2x2s. So I can stick my hand under. Which involved a lot of muscle, levering up a queen mattress with stuff still on it, and moving some stuff around but not as much as my efforts last week. Pretty much took all my spoons except for the broken beige blind replacement in the kitchen I did first. (See photo.)

(Yes, this is what I did today instead of protesting. But if it molds again, that's a whole other big huge bunch of repeated work and possible worsening health.)

The mesh and sheet drapes down somewhat to continue blocking airflow, (I might have fixed that slightly with reused Velcro from my Apple TV mounting failure), but I'll check if it at least helped over the next few days and then work on that problem.

Maybe it needs *7* 2x2s!

A very small RV kitchen. A long narrow horizontal window is draped with a wispy burgundy colored scarf that serves as a curtain, clipped up with decorative clothes pins. Various clutter. A bit bohemian, I hope.

Just got word, city approved the Scout's Park Rehabilitation plans with my native pollinator garden design inputs. Such a great project! I've already set aside plants! Time to contact all my garden friends with the list of plants needed!

Edit* forgot to say, we're still waiting on the mayor's stamp
