Just in case people haven’t heard of it before - I found it today after reading the logs of a virtual meetup of permacomputing folks (https://tilia.lurk.org/)

I think there’s a fix for that…
I run a Mastodon (mammut.gogreenit.net) and PeerTube (pt.gogreenit.net) instances for myself and friends.
I am interested in IT, Electronic Music, Winter Sports, Renewable Energy, Off-Grid living, Sustainability, The Right to Repair, Veganism and Animal Rights

I think there’s a fix for that…

At least they’re more likely to do a better job than the fiasco with Christa Pike…
Yeah, mounting systems are crazy money. I want to put some panels on a low slate roof, but there are so many different types, seem over expensive to me. Until now i’ve been able to mount them on walls or roofs of sheds, so it has been a lot easier, but I still need more power, which means adding them to our slate roofs :/
If you do select something, it would be good to know how it goes!

Although the article is about an e-voting fuckup, there’s a bit at the bottom that mentions that one of the things being voted on is about cash:
"Two of Sunday’s referendum questions focused on the availability of cash. Nearly three-quarters of voters approved a government proposal to enshrine the mandate of the Swiss National Bank to supply physical cash and stick with the Swiss franc in the country’s constitution, while a similar proposal backed by campaigners was narrowly rejected.
This is despite Switzerland having one of the lowest levels of cash use in Europe with just 30 percent of physical transactions in 2024 involving notes or coins."
Cool. It’s a shame the article doesn’t actually explain what the device will actually do :(
