@vanilla_chief habe erst kürzlich Nasenspray wieder entdeckt - plötzlich deutlich aushaltbarer alles, wenn man mit einer Anwendung 8h Nebenhöhlenbeschwerden lindern kann.

@codingcatgirl Aktuell ist die Stelle nicht online, aber ich hab dieses Jahr noch mindestens 2x "Platform Engineer" für mein Team offen. Wir bauen die Platform hinter deepl.com. Voll remote in .de, .nl, .pl oder .uk, vor Ort in Köln, Berlin, Amsterdam, London.

@leah I think i successfully failed forward... I had persistent issues after removing it from my dock and re-attaching, seems like it's gone with 6.1.2-arch1-1 with the USB-C Dock and a DisplayPort connection.

Shit you forget: WIth 2.000kWh/year of power usage (a lot for a single household) you'd need ca 2kW of peak PV, 3kWh of battery storage to reach 63% self-sufficiency. Double it: 80%

2kW peak PV is easily below 2.000€, including an inverter. The batteries are roughly 1.5k€ - this could be easily combined into a hybrid system, add some current monitoring to not feed in, ever (it's not a lot of left-over energy anyway, so can also dump it / signal to the resident it's time to run the dishwasher and stuff).

With my current provider 2.000kWh is 1400€/year. 740kWh (the estimated usage with such a system) would be 608€ -> saving 800€/year. Even with expensive install and mounting hardware, let's say 5k€ for the whole system, it pays back in a little more than 6 years. The panels make it to 25 years easily, the battery is rated for 6.000 cycles with 80% capacity remaining, so also no worries. This is literally the license to print money - if you have the place to install it.

@ixs @nielso Für den Preis kannste dir vmtl. 2kWh China-LiFePo4-Speicher kaufen, die haben mehr Effekt.

@stilkov Given that my computers don't even have any other way of launching apps: nope, sounds like the right way.

@ixs

Lol ja den Krebs hab ich mit und ohne zakx gebaut damals :D

@nielso

@bitboxer probably it’s worth reading up more on this, maybe they have patched it, but from what I heard (on Linus tech tips though) they handled it super badly, in the end LTT dropped them as a sponsor for this. Really sad because having any sort of cloud seems to me like more work, not less, so why did they even do it?

@bitboxer @nova this: https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/30/23486753/anker-eufy-security-camera-cloud-private-encryption-authentication-storage - super sad, they look really great and if I would have been in the market for such a product I would have probably gotten just this device.

@bitboxer didn’t they recently come into press for uploading images to their cloud even though they sell it as a local-only device? @nova

Automatic emoji stealing finally works :D

Doing my personal retro of this year: My parents heatpump + PV + storage produced *total* power costs of ca 600€ (since mid march 2022). That includes ca 5.500 km driven in their car and replacing roughly 3.000l of heating oil. If you include power not bought for house/heatpump, heating oil not bought and car fuel not bought it adds up to savings of 3.300€ - and that's if one bought oil at a cheap pricepoint. At the highest: 7.000€ saved :D Got to say, my regret for heavily recommending this type of setup is rather low now.

That feel when you power up your big ole desktop computer after some weeks :D

@luebken Last time i tried it didn't work with Akkoma, the type of server I run.

@aep Ah nice :D Yeah I'm running headscale for my infrastructure, amazing stuff!

@aep Oh true, totally forgot those still exist, thx! Not sure I'm up for dealing with this world of fun again - locally I just access the RPi directly, for the rare case I need to change something while I'm out I guess I'm fine with the (dualstack) tunnel via my server.

Seems like I missed another Twitter-Exodus-Wave, I just re-ran fedifinder and followed another 30+ accounts

@lpil Hello, Mike!

I think today marks the day I'm done with public IPv4 at home. Changed providers to get rid of unreliable Vodafone, ended up with DSlite for v4. I migrated my Home Assistant setup so remote access is tunneled through the VM that runs everything else at Hetzner and then home via Tailscale. If I was motivated enough I guess I could use the native v6, but the subnet supposedly changes, so that's annoying.

Imagine a world where you can set a desired minimum charge for your car (for example to reached loved ones in case of an emergency, or you daily commute) - and allow it to trade the rest of the capacity. Imagine you can tell your dishwasher you don't care when it runs during the night, as long as it's done in the morning. Imagine you tell your heatpump you want your house between 19.5 and 21 degrees - and all of those appliances consume the energy when it's cheapest in the market. Combine that with a house battery that sucks up cheap energy at night during winter and your excess solar during the summer, protecting you from grid outages in case they ever happen. We could have all of this, easily. It's not even hard, we build much, much more complex systems - but this needs standards. We need to get away from manufacturer clouds and own inventions, integrations with specific manufacturers and so on to a common language for those products to receive signals - and to give control to the consumer. You should be free to use the energy when you want to, but then it will cost you more, or you are rewarded for the flexibility.
