I agree that remote work isn’t the end and that it helps to allow time and energy to be used for community-driven interaction. We won’t truly be at “an end” for solarpunk since we always want to keep making life better for everyone, so any opportunity we have to reduce our impact on the climate and work with the people around us is cause to celebrate if only a little.

I currently work at a place where I could do 90% of my job remotely, but because one department has to be in the building our director requires everyone to work on-site. I lose a lot of time that could be used for self improvement or forging social bonds just sitting at a desk waiting for a phone call. If I could work remotely, I feel like I’d have the time and energy to bike to a community garden and help grow food for people at the very least.

There is a solarpunk festival happening soon near me and there will be some job fair stuff as well. I’ll go and see if there’s something I can do that helps our planet as well as myself if I can. Any improvement is nice.

I have not, though I’m not expecting to need any serious amounts of data storage. I’d rather focus on availability and redundancy over raw storage so smaller and cheaper SAS drives would be ideal for my plans. Thanks for linking though!

I like that it has 2.5GB Ethernet ports but I dom’t have anything that goes faster that 1GB currently. Would love to fix that when I get some hardware for my supermicro chassis.

I’ve been looking at setting up OpnSense to replace my TP-Link router at some point but running it in a container. This looks like a decent alternative.
