First day of the farmers market in Viroqua. They made the spaces a foot narrower this year, I really had to squeeze myself in. It was encouraging to see a lot of new faces. Now to activate my social mode after a long winter of mostly being alone.
permaculture
#introduction après quelque temps sur mastodon :
- intéressé (assez pour y passer trop de temps) par les outils informatiques du monde #libre en commençant par #linux (#MXlinux user here) mais aussi #android et #foss
- réfléchit aux outils libres... qui libèrent ! notamment autour de la #décentralisation et du #smallweb #smolweb
- kiffe la musique du #Mali
- de manière très originale aime la #nature, les #arbres, et développe ses compétences en #permaculture
- un peu de #photographie de rue
Do you hate #broligarchs?
#Billionaires? #AiSlop but still think there is merit in #AI?
Here is my proposal for a stand alone.
OFFGRID COMMUNITY AI SYSTEM.
That's right.Your very own co-op AI
The calculations are very much back of the envelope, first cut, but quite feasible.
A 32billion parameters, frontier level performance compatable open source #llm model. The power requirements is that of 3AC units including cooling. Serves 15-20 concurrent users. 40 households of 4 people each (taking into account actual AI model distributed use metrics and contention ratios)
40 households, subscribing at $30/month over 2 years + power (solar). Train with your own datasets.
Entire set up takes half a rack.
LETS GO!!!

I did it. I finally used my hoard of photos to make a video celebrating a year of free gardening in a trailer park.
Cando semella que non saímos do inverno, vira o tempo, e bótasenos a primavera enriba de socato. Agora a correr a transplantar as últimas árbores na finca e as primeiras plantas na horta 🌱💚

Where do the #lowtech and #NeoLuddites hang out? The #permaculture and #bicycle geeks? The co-op and #RepairCafe heroes?
Looking for alternate scenes around alternate living: sharing, building, eating, and learning together.
Much obliged.
tomato season has begun 😋
SAMBUCA NOCTURNE is my first ever elderberry mead. A mix of 3 different cultivars of elderberry, slightly dry and made with local honey. A purple mouthed definition of the Driftless signature.
New #gardening video up! You can choose to see it on my blog, read the script on my blog, watch me on YouTube for a chance of seeing Mr. Freddy "the kitty" Mercury, or listen to it, visuals aren't necessary.
I've been working on a book about my practice of Paradise Gardening which combines a wide range of approaches from the practical to the theoretical to the conceptual to the speculative. This screen is an approach I'm exploring about non-human cultures in the manifestation of Paradise Gardening. I'm interested in comments, additions, criticisms, advice about characterizing non-anthropomorphic cultures and their interactions.
