@thilakan@mathstodon.xyz @tao@mathstodon.xyz yes - there are many open source projects being flooded with "pull requests" - suggested changes that need to be read, checked & approved as a "real improvement" or worthwhile, bug free, change. Many of these projects have stopped accepting PRs as their maintainers cannot keep up/do not have the time. It also has echoes of science fiction magazines and publishers closing submissions for the same reason.

@rzeta0 I've had good use out of a Native Union Stow Slim - although the edge protection makes it quite a lot bigger that the laptop itself, so I'd definitely check dimensions!

@stevefoerster @SaraSoueidan well, it's running off a 30W solar panel (a single normal household rooftop one is usually 300W+) and they're achieving 95% uptime figures, with no interruption to service for months at a time (currently 4 months) so I wouldn't've said it was exactly bad..?
