maintenance

Hi there! compost.party is back online after being quiet for several days.
We did not establish clearly who would take care of it while some were travelling. Those who tried to take care were hampered by the broken screen providing little feedback about what is happening — even less so if you cannot interpret the intermittent rows of colorful pixels from prior experience.
Like the previous outages the reasons can be found in beyond-technical, social and communicative issues. The fact that the weather is changing with the seasons trips up the intuition, but right now, on a windy, clouded but bright autumn day with 14°C, the solar panel delivers a comfortable 450 mA of energy, out of which 380 mA go straight into the battery, so the hardware is still happily up to it.
We'll continue to figure things out and adjust.
