Added 400W to my tiny farm of #solar panels. These feed into the new ecoflow unit.

Also, I'm getting too old and too much of a software person to do hardware installs like this. Never again. I shall instead work from my comfy chair and pay a spry 20something in the future. :-)

Part of the evil plan: I now have kinda-sorta 1kW of solar attached to the ecoflow thing, which has 4kWh of battery. It's programmed to run my computers from battery+solar when there's enough solar and to time-shift away from peak 3pm-9pm. Next month I'll sign up for ToU pricing.

It's something like a 5 year payoff for the solar component and a kinda long payoff (like 12y) for the ecoflow, but it's battery and extended runtime I wanted anyway, and this way it eventually is cash-positive.

Also also, freakin' hats off to all the solar installers out there. That's hard work. Oof. 🤓

Ladders and rooftops are for the young and immortal, definitely.

(Coincidentally, I spent the afternoon installing a whopping 10watt solar panel for a mesh node on a roof, but no ladder was involved).


Some companies are now having candidates interview with a deepfake AI interviewer before being sent through to a human.

It’s like the first few seasons of Black Mirror were an instruction manual of products to build in 2025. 😬

@Hypolite Petovan Do you know where that option is? I've been looking at my existing RSS/Atom contact settings and haven't found it yet.




Unfortunately, acrylic markers bleed more than I'd like on cordura but I think my waist bag message is clear.
Even though i had to come up with my own "design" because the proper one is hilariously beyond my skill. *Lines* are beyond my skill, as you can see.
