#solarpunk #hackerspace #writing question: what would be the most Solarpunk / realistic / interesting way to heat a hackerspace in a city in colder climate? Something to make a story interesting & visual?
The usual answer "servers" isn't that eco
@alxd I used to work for a software company (in NYS!) and we didn't notice our furnace was broken until a sub-zero (F) day in mid-winter, between the interns we had stacked on each other, the servers, and the workstations.
@alxd I grew up in a house that was heated with wood and passive solar heating. Lots of stone/cement is the first thing, for sure.
@alxd @aldersprig a kitchen or a gym could be sources of heat.
solarthermal panels on the roof don't work very well when there is little sun š¤·āāļø
@aldersprig @alxd windmills are awesome!
@aldersprig @alxd another thing that produces heat, and generates gas that can produce heat is a biogas-chamber. though, it needs to be kept warm itself to function ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
@aldersprig Thank you :) The story is in Central Europe, so yeah, we can get similar times.
We used to heat the 'Space with servers as well, but what used to happen is someone would often start mining BTC or Ethereum to get warmer. I just wonder if there are other good solutions that can be Solarpunk symbols :)
