It's about to finally rain properly for the first time since November
I'm in northern Spain and the last time it rained properly was November 2022 (we had about 120mm in a day, which did a fair bit of damage). Since then, it's been 8mm at most - which is hardly anything.
Tomorrow night we're predicted to get about 50 mm, which would be amazing and fill all our water tanks. We only have rain as a water source and the local rivers are getting more and more dry. If we do get that much rain that'll mean cancelling some plans (can't get to the tarmac road when it's that wet) but boy do we need it :')
Side question - in my area, we measure rainwater in millimiters per centimeter and liters per meter (10 mm = 10 liters per square meter). How do you measure rain in your country?
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.

Genial! Puedes ponerlo en un nuevo post también para darle más visibilidad?
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!
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!
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
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:
- Templater
- Advanced Tables
- Natural Language Dates
- Text Snippets
- Todoist Plugin
New communities: hunting and fishing
[email protected] and [email protected] , I think are pretty self explanatory :)
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 👍🏼
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.
hey, welcome! let's introduce ourselves
Welcome everyone. Are you already homesteading/working on self sufficiency or just interested? I live off grid in Spain on 3 hectares, with a small house and a few animals :)
Is it possible to run an instance without a static IP address?
If you can subscribe to communities on other instances than the one you're registered with, why register on one vs another?
I am new and trying to understand how Lemmy works. I am posting this from my lemmy.world account, on a lemmy.ml community. It seems like you can read, post, subscribe to whatever community outside of the instance you're registered with. So... Why register on lemmy.world vs lemmy.ml or any other instance, if all communities are accessible to everyone?
