We need to bridge the gap between when #energy is generated and when it is consumed. We need a solution that makes our #energygrids more resilient and allows us to store summer’s sun for winter’s chill. Without massive-scale storage, the green transition stalls 👇

A document of just under 30 pages long has the potential to save thousands of #customers from having to buy new speakers. This reduces the need for new #resources, cuts #emissions in the supply chain and may save more #greenhousegases than reforestation projects or the use of recycled materials 🙌

🔊 Manufacturer #Bose published #API documents, allowing developers to give #SoundTouch speakers a second life thanks to #opensource code!

Dear #hardware manufacturers:

Do as ‘Bose’ does and don’t keep important programme #code secret!

Thank you, RESET

“The novel secondary use of #fibreopticcables could represent an enormous breakthrough in seismology and hazard warning. We are effectively transforming the world’s #digital nervous system into an #ecological nervous system.”

#SearchEngines we recommend:

@mojeek.com - Doesn’t do #AIoverviews, runs on Custodian.

Brave - Privacy-focused search engine, uses its own search index.

Qwant - Doesn’t store personal data or search history.

MetaGer - open-source & non-profit, avoids Big Tech.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

With a few technical adjustments, the global network of #underseacables has the potential to serve as an #environmental monitoring system.

There are 600 + active or planned #submarinecables worldwide. Maps such as #Submarinecablemap keep track of many. The cables contain sensitive #fibre optics that transmit #digitalinformation using light pulses.

"We need a myriad of strategies that holistically address the various informational needs of people in different contexts. Learning from each other’s experiments can help us get there."

Question: What do you dream of when you dream of healthy, balanced information ecosystems?
January 16, 2026 at 3:28 PM
#Submarinecables are becoming critical #infrastructure for more and more countries. There is currently no alternative way to #transferdata between continents. While some countries are investing in #satellite systems, these are more expensive, slower and more prone to disruption.

"In #Germany, there is also an obligation to use #wasteheat for new #datacentres that go into operation. At an #EU level, the only requirement for waste heat utilisation so far is that the possibility must be examined."

Sometimes, the best information can’t be found online. Blurring the lines between online and offline offers a chance for meaningful human connections.

“By attaching sensors directly to the tree, we can record sounds that are usually imperceptible to the human ear—such as the snapping of individual wood fibres or the feeding noises of pests." - Mario Hopfner
Listening to Trees: TreeMon Monitors Plants Using Microphones
The TreeMon project equips trees with sensors to detect pest infestation, water shortage and more using microphones to listen to the plant's needs.
