  The town i used to live in, population 180,000, has a big park right outside the centre. It’s got a lake, open grass, a small wood. It’s a very nice park. Always busy.

  The west edge is bordered by a 7ft wire fence and beyond it is a golf course 2.5x larger than the park. At a glance it looks very similar except this land is reserved for the exclusive use of ~500 members.

  It’s not really an option for renters, tenants aren’t going to pay for solar panels on someone else’s house and landlords wouldn’t get any benefit.

  I’d rather see public investment in grid installations that can benefit everyone, not just the poorest who were rich enough to buy a house, along with reforming the energy market so pay what the energy actually cost and not as if it was all gas.

  Another one for immich but I’m also running immich-public-proxy. It proxies just the share links so the entire instance isn’t public.

  Haha I know what you mean. It’s in St Helens unless there’s more than one
