Come and see three people talk about how they made their homes more comfortable and healthier to live in whilst dramatically reducing their energy bills in #Brighton on the evening of Wednesday 18th March 2026 https://t.co/HaphQOiLiy... Free! #retrofit #passivhaus #greenbuilding

@paulhartnoll858 "Well, I wouldn't be starting from here" as has been said before...

[Tim Small @linuxtim]

@TheTimTraveller I was surprised to see that you aren't (also?) on the platform which dares not speak it's name (around here that is, lest the tweet end up being hidden)...

Good morning!

“Any deal that Trump negotiates with Putin may have similar features to Munich: land for temporary peace…So what will happen if Putin renews his attack in 1, 3 or 5 years?” An important piece from ⁦@RUSI_org⁩ https://t.co/Ra0MBkfeyV

Orysia Lutsevych: "Since 2014, Ukraine has agreed to over 17 ceasefires with Russia, all of which were violated."

@KirstieMAllsopp @BBCr4today Hi Kirstie. These figures are from the @TheRAC_UK.

The only region where a majority of people don’t have access to off-street parking is London, which has an excellent Underground electric vehicle network.

@ElrondBurrell Can't see any problems here (n.b. data approx 2 weeks old). Maybe time to retry elsewhere?

[Tim Small @linuxtim]

@PassivhausTrust Most of the uk ph community seems to be on other platforms now. I follow @PassivhausTrust on the the most heavily used one, but the account there is dormant. Maybe time to trial posting to both for a week or so?

[Tim Small @linuxtim]

Just thought I'd see of anyone I know is still here? The sky is bluer on the other side it seems...

[Tim Small @linuxtim]

@sianberry @CarolineLucas Thanks Sian and Caroline, but maybe now is the time to abandon this poisonous platform in favour of bsky and mastodon?

[Tim Small @linuxtim]

@theheatinghub ... this is the page for debirdify : https://t.co/o6KpnNjfle

[Tim Small @linuxtim]

@theheatinghub Use Pruvisto's "debirdify" web page to migrate follows over from twitter (fill details, click the download csv link at the bottom, then import via profile->preferences->import->following list-> merge). Put your mastodon address in your twitter bio to allow others to do the same.

[Tim Small @linuxtim]

@evaDrD You may already know, but if you put your Mastodon address in your Twitter BIO, then automatic tools like https://t.co/g1LuIBiWkt (which I recommend using) will allow your Twitter followers to easily find you on Mastodon...

[Tim Small @linuxtim]

... you don't actually have to change your Twitter Name to your mastodon name too, but that signals that mastodon is your preferred or only platform.

[Tim Small @linuxtim]

So that people can easy (automatically) find you on Mastodon, can I recommend you put your mastodon address in your Twitter BIO? This can be used by automatic tools like https://t.co/g1LuIBjua1 (which I recommend using) to copy all of your Twitter follows on to Mastodon?

@glynhudson Have you considered site-mixed PU foams (e.g. "WallTite" or "Technitherm")? Better U value, and good draught proofing too.

Also consider a vapour open water repellent for the outsides of the walls (e.g. "Stormdry").

[Barnaby Wharton @BarnabyCBW]

45% levy on electricity generators?? Compared to 35% for O&G? What investment allowances are there? What will this mean for the £175bn investment we need in clean generation to the end of the decade?

[Tim Small @linuxtim]

@SimonApperley @SallyGodber Sounds like they just want to do their "standard thing" and are pricing alternatives excruciatingly high to discourage anything they're not super-comfortable with. Circa £4k to £8k is typical cost increase for a domestic dwelling from building regs to full PassivHaus I think?
