I know, it's hilarious how they want to be at the "centre of Europe" again. What? They have always been too special for that, and now, they're the laughing stock of Europe.
Hey, that's so cool! Here in Spain I have a LOT of Belgian neighbours, believe it or not, haha (and Dutch!) As you say land is quite expensive over there so I guess that's why they come here :)
So is your place off grid or just hidden? I totally understand the struggle, I have an orchard and a forest around us but heating is still very complicated. We have a wood stove but there's not enough prunings from the orchard and we're not allowed to fell trees, besides pine is not great for burning. So every year we have to work something out ;)
Having a workshop is also super important, I think a lot of people underestimate how many tools and other bits and bobs you're going to need when you want to homestead!
But most of all - congratulations, must be super exciting!
Yeah, the only part of Europe we could afford was dry af so we only have rainwater, and in the past couple of years it's hardly rained at all. We do collect from every single roof we have, we can store just over 11.000 litres (~3000 gallons) but if it doesn't rain there's nothing to store. after 5 years we're just about ready to dig a well or move but we can't afford either :) we're doing okay though, we have water in the house and all our animals have enough to drink - the one thing we're missing is irrigation for a veggie garden. so mostly we grow vegetables in winter.
Hey, nice to meet ya! We also use a composting toilet, we're in a place with almost no natural water so we don't want to flush it away :P Have you got water on your land?
muchas gracias. como otro ejemplo veo feddit.it (servidor italiano) que se creó el año pasado y tiene menos de 900 usuarios.
yo creo que se puede hacer el servidor español, y si hay tanto interés, pedir ayuda a los usuarios. de verdad dudo que pasaría los 10k
10k usuarios parece mucho por un servidor español, lemmy.world tiene 12k en total. de cuanto hablamos? se podría hacer un patreon o en opencollective.com como aquí
Thanks, interesting point. I guess if the load is distributed enough, we won't have Lemmy devs asking for donations to keep the servers running under bigger and bigger loads 👍🏼
I don't think I'll be visiting each community to look at each thread, but in my experience on Reddit, once you're subscribed to a certain number of communities you won't be able to see them all in your feed, so that's why I wonder :) Though I guess Reddit has some kind of interest algorithm to show you stuff, as I noticed that if I visited a subreddit directly it would then start coming up in my feed more often - I wonder if Lemmy would have the same kind of thing - the more you interact with a community the more likely it is to come up on your subscribed feed.
és veritat, visc a catalunya però no soc d'aquí i el meu català escrit és terrible. he arreglat el nom de la comunitat
nice shot!

I can't help but see skone. However, my husband insists on being team skon so we both call it a skon, against my best judgement.
Jealous :) A well would cost more than we paid for the entire land but it'd be so worth it!

Cuando lo teneis hecho podeis avisar por aquí, yo algo podría moderar y seguro que otra gente también
Sono volontario della PC in Spagna ma il vostro e' il primo "forum" che ho trovato sulla Protezione Civile in generale, grandi! Lo seguo :)
I use probably 7 or 8 plugins in total but these are the ones I couldn't live without:
Yo soy interesado! Pensaba de hacerlo yo, pero no sé bastante de la gestión de servidores. Te apoyaría y si necesitas ayuda quizás puedo hacer algo 👍🏼

Is it possible to run an instance without a static IP address?
