How do I self host these? I tried docker run liquidtrees it didn't work

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/liquidtrees.git && cd liquidtrees && makepkg
or
add https://repo.30p87.de/private/archlinux as a repo, and sudo pacman -Sy liquidtrees. Then sudo systemctl enable --now liquidtrees

Try

docker run liquidtrees:micro-algae

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago

I think there's an alpine build too if your system has low oxygen levels

Trees are FOSS. This is a fork of trees.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 1 points 5 hours ago

Looks more like a complete rewrite to me.

As I recall, at least under US law, you can't copyright genetically-engineered life, just get a twenty year biological patent. So I don't think that FOSS status would be directly germane other than maybe in how some such licenses might deal with patent licensing.

@ECEC Good lord the number of replies here from people whose brains have been destroyed by "planners"...

  1. Trees lower the urban heat island effect.
  2. There's plenty of room for trees in dense places, so long as "density" means efficient housing and efficient transportation rather than parking lots and stroads and single-family homes.
  3. Someone said "trees require maintenance", as if asphalt & pretty much everything doesn't require maintenance?
  4. Trees harm cars. But cars harm cars too!

There's plenty of room for trees in new dense places, sure. But if you're in the parts of London with old ass-narrow ass-streets, this may be less true.

[–] N0x0n@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 hours ago

London is the perfect place for some futuristic cyberpunk distopia !

The rest of the world (except some highly polluting countries who anyway doesn't give a shit about the environment...) can keep the trees&bees and build arround it ! :)

Trees are also essential for insects, bird and animal life in cities. They are psychologically calming for people as well.

Have you ever seen how long it takes for a tree to grow?

Good post.

Wrong community.

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 1 points 4 hours ago

Maybe, I'm self hosting several trees, so... 🤷‍♂️

[–] Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 hours ago

The most dystopian thing I've seen... Fuck, idk, it's all pretty dystopian these days, I've lost count

[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, those are going to last at -40F/-40C nights we often experience where I live. Nor do I see them being able to add any cool relief from their shade on a hot day.

That said, it is hard to grow healthy trees in the poisoned soils of a big city. They tend to struggle and be sickly when choked by concrete and asphalt.

A big problem with trees is roots, especially in cities with dense underground infrastructure. If there’s an actual way to produce the same amount of oxygen as a tree in a smaller space, I’m all for it. I’m honestly okay with how these look, assuming low maintenance.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

at least give it some shape that is not an eye sore to start with

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 10 hours ago (5 children)

Devil's advocate:

These cost far less to maintain than having a team or two dedicated to upkeep for the trees.

That said, I also think trees are the better option. These are an eyesore.

[–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 8 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

These probably require more maintenance and not less, glass needs to be regularly cleaned and water changed and fertilized, what will happen when company stops supporting this proprietary algae aquariums?
