  • It’s worth a try asking your current members in a local sticky-post. Just make sure you do a realistic estimation on how often you might not be available so that they know how involved it might become.

    Otherwise the people over at db0 are trialing an “armada” concept of sharing admin burdens between instances. So that is also something you might want to consider.




  • Those work fine with Anubis.

    Anubis is fairly stupid in reality. It only checks the request at all if it looks like a regular browser (and thus catches the scrapers that pretend to be regular browsers to hide in normal traffic). If you use an RSS reader for example that doesn’t hide the fact that it is a RSS reader, then Anubis will send it right through.


  • They just released a big new version.

    We have been running it since a year or so, but lately there seem to be some scrapers that get around it, probably by using a 3rd party webfrontend and thus accessing the API endpoint. But still better than nothing I guess.


  • Those rotating ferris wheels look fancy, but it really isn’t much different from regular greenhouse operations found in the Netherlands since decades. Maybe a bit more robotics involved, but the video isn’t so clear on that (the strawberry picking robot doesn’t look like a production ready version to me).

    Of course many vertical farming efforts were and are equally stuck in traditional mass farming paradigms, but the real promise of vertical farming is IMHO small decentralized units in urban areas.
