What Solarpunk Tech do you own? (slrpnk.net)

Kind of curious what tech people own, everything from small to big tech. Assuming solarpanels are a given for a lot of peeps here, or maybe will be in the future. But what other tech do you own that you're happy with?

I started messing about with Linux/Raspberry Pi, Arduino, LoRa/Meshtastic in the past couple of months due to being (further) breadpilled with podcasts about open source, greenhouse automation, autonomous text-based communication and such.

I'm not a tech person so I'm literally doing kid-level electronics tutorials on the Arduino ("Congratulations! You've made your first circuit!") and still get a kick out of running sudo apt-get update/upgrade and seeing the lines of text scrolling by.

But I really like the concept of appropriate tech in conjunction with open source "stuff" and, since I'm in a position of being able to listen to ~6.5 hours of podcasts during my workday, I might as well learn something. I hope to get comfortable with electronics for DIY solar eventually, too
