About the solar powered website (2022)
This website is solar-powered and self-hosted. It has been designed to radically reduce the energy use associated with accessing our content.
In addition, the low resource requirements and open design help to keep the blog accessible for visitors with older computers and/or less reliable Internet connections. Increasingly, activities that could perfectly happen off-line – such as writing a document, filling in a spreadsheet, or storing data – are now requiring continuous network access. This was caused by a software upgrade of the Linux kernel, which increased the average power use of the server from 1.19 to 1.49 watts, and consequently brought the website down for at least a few hours every night.
