Posting this because I'd think it'd be funny if Hexbear occasionally went down whenever it was cloudy outside but also because the magazine/site is cool.

solar powered websites cannot contain the shitposting power of this website. End of story. Its little puny solar panels would splode, probably

Hexbear gives off lunar vibes, not solar ones. It just wouldn't work. hex-moon

Why is that an emoji. Why do these get made?!

I don't mean to start a struggle session but dithering images are not my thing. There - I said it.

[-] Budwig_v_1337hoven@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

How dare you, dithering is the People's Blur

[-] abc@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

maddened it looks fine

[-] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

it looks neat, but it completely broke darkmode for me so i've probably used more power viewing the site than I otherwise would have

also, why dont they have batteries for when the suns hiding? weird

They do. It's enough for the site to survive the night and a few days of overcast skies but not beyond that.

Don't you dare comment about how "that's a static site Hexbear is not" because I'll call you a nerd

[-] wopazoo@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

imagine basing your posting schedule on whether or not it's sunny in france

[-] Ho_Chi_Chungus@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

france

never seen Langley spelled like that before

All magazines are solar powered when you touch-grass

Hexbear is capitalist decadence snipes-hesitation

[-] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

Really neat site--thank you for sharing! Aside from the low-power concept (which I love) there's some thought-provoking articles on there.

[-] abc@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Yeah they have some super interesting articles! Fruit Trenches: Cultivating Subtropical Plants in Freezing Temperatures was a great read about the USSR's attempts at growing fruit trees

Rather than encourage further costly mineral extraction I propose that hexbear be powered by stolen electricity and co-located with a weed grow.

[-] Sons_of_Ferrix@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

We should hook Hexbear up to a hydro-solar system! I'm going to go find a hill and dig two ponds, one at the base and one at the top, and then have a solar powered pump running all day and draining all night through a turbine!
