I would use a ServiceWorker to make it accessible offline. Though that might defeat the purpose of the site? Maybe.

@SaraSoueidan there's also https://branch.climateaction.tech/ which switches to low bandwidth images when the power grid runs on fossile fuels and high bandwidth images when there are more renewables in the mix

@SaraSoueidan Love this idea, I wonder if this would influence a user to decide to load or not load a web page? Or maybe choosing whether to load an image or not on a page? E.g. by loading this image it costs 1 hour of energy

@SaraSoueidan I recently went to a tide mill and whilst the wheel was turning and grinding flour I was able to use the residual energy to charge my phone. Felt pretty good!

@SaraSoueidan We once invited Kris De Decker, who runs the site, for a talk where he explained how the rollout of new content is carefully scheduled to come with a week of good weather ahead.

@SaraSoueidan Not really the best advert for solar power, is it?

@SaraSoueidan Loving that the uptime is currently over 19 weeks though! Would love to see a graph of battery level over time to see how close it's got to downtime during those 19 weeks.

@SaraSoueidan this is so cool! Really neat how it’s self sustaining and demonstrates it’s capacity

@SaraSoueidan solar.lowtechmagazine is a fantastic site. It was inspiration for me giving it a go. I have written up how it all works here: https://scott.ee/project/solar-hosting-raspberry-pi/ ☀️ Mine is smaller scale and as it has been a grey start to November in Sweden my backup server is catching the traffic today.

@SaraSoueidan That's awesome. Do you know the humans are who operate it?

@SaraSoueidan Interesting, but I somewhat dislike the close association of solar energy with "low tech". Displaying an energy meter seems to be the site's only good idea.

@SaraSoueidan Found that website last year some time and have been meaning to dive deeper into that world more since then. So cool!

@SaraSoueidan very intersting site! It also has a piece on an unknow solar power pioneer: https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2021/10/how-to-build-a-low-tech-solar-panel.html
