Hacker | Solar is a knowledge repository on all subjects related to the practical application and praxis within the Solarpunk movement.

Solarpunk is a literary, art, and social movement that understands the current state of the world in terms of climate crisis, social & economic problems, and the state of individuals and their localized communities and seeks to demonstrate possible future scenarios that address these issues. As a social movement it seeks to find and implement localized, decentralized, and distributed solutions to various problems within our current state of being.

Elements of Solarpunk seek to implement various post-scarcity solutions including food production and distribution, water production and distribution, power production and distribution, housing and shelter, healthcare and medicine, and education.

This site contains knowledge repos and how-tos regarding these various solutions. Solutions are designed to be implemented at the individual scale using current technology, both high-tech and low-tech, that is accessible to individuals or small groups.

Classes teach you all about advanced topics within CS, from operating systems to machine learning, but there’s one critical subject that’s rarely covered, and is instead left to students to figure out on their own: proficiency with their tools. We’ll teach you how to master the command-line, use a powerful text editor, use fancy features of version control systems, and much more!

Students spend hundreds of hours using these tools over the course of their education (and thousands over their career), so it makes sense to make the experience as fluid and frictionless as possible. Mastering these tools not only enables you to spend less time on figuring out how to bend your tools to your will, but it also lets you solve problems that would previously seem impossibly complex.

Translated into multiple languages.
