  • Software company? They misspelled "private equity" in a peculiar way.

  • Do you run any bridge (I forget the XMPP nomenclature). One of the reasons I run matrix (synapse) myself is to have a single interface for many instant-message platforms. I've been looking into migrating to XMPP (im sure my matrix deployment can be slimmed down but for now it's a behemoth taking 4 GB of RAM...) but I've been somewhat discouraged by the process

  • I sync to a local directory and then sync that with syncthing. It works.

    The sync file is a big json thing, so concurrent edits are not exactly supported, but you get a pop up to warn you if you have diverging changes.

  • How SUSE Is Replacing Red Hat as the Linux and Open Source Enterprise Standard-Bearer

    Jump

  • I worked in a couple of major european projects that had SLES everywhere, and I don't remember official support being a topic at all.

    What exactly is the use case for enterprise support? Where does it help and/or save money? I'm not challenging the concept, I'm genuinely curious because despite having worked in places where I assume it would make sense I have never seen it and never understood why would anybody pay for that.

  • Hard agree on IAM granularity. But breaking up things in projects limits the blast radius somewhat. They'll get there.

  • A heat pump is also in my future, but the funds need to recover from this round of energy efficiency interventions first.

    But even before then, having resistive heating might not be the best (or the cheapest) but I love to be able to measure all my house energy needs in kWh without conversions (sure if you have gas you can count cubic meters, but it's a lot of approximations).

  • 10 kWp but ~45% of it on the northside. We're in south Germany, 49ish degrees north. We redid the roof (bought a house with resistive heating and almost no roof insulation... Picked up a bit of a project here) and covering 60% of the south side with panels is required by law (at least to get some subsidy), but we would have done anyway. Don't use this day do evaluate the project :)

  • I took the screenshot then and I was too lazy to do it again before posting :) Also, sometimes the integration that does the prediction becomes more realistic and the difference would have been less strong. But it looks like it didn't re-evaluate the prediction, and the second half of the day was even worse :)

    You are correct of course, generation happens without direct sunlight. In fact, today it was raining and I never saw the sun (until literally 5 minutes before sunset, go figure). It's actually awesome to get what I get on a rainy day, jokes aside.

    I can confidently say that there was no direct sunlight involved today because I have panels on the northwest side, that doesn't get any direct sunlight these days, and they behaved just like the south. Even pale sun makes the south take off way past whatever the north string can do. Didn't happen today

  • Is Your Dog’s Dinner Wrecking the Planet? New Study Says Yes

    Jump

  • I have the feeling that nutritional choices are one of the strongest levers we can pull as individuals to reduce our footprint. I'm vegetarian (with occasional fish) and my dog mostly eats vegetarian wet food (with a balanced nutritional value, lentils as protein). The dry food is still made with meat (we mix in a veggie one when we find a good offer). He is the most uncomplicated eater so I guess we could shift even more towards full vegan, but my understanding is that pet food producers (outside of extremely luxury brands) are working mostly with the byproducts of the meat industry for humans, and it will also naturally shift as that industry shrinks.

  • Once in my shared apartment, while I was in university, a guest of a roommate was dumping a lot of rubbish in the bin, and I pointed out we had baskets for recycling. "Yeah, but it takes time to separate the parts. Do you think [CEO of a huge fossil fuel industry in my country] does that?"

    I didn't know how to answer that.

    The CEO went to jail a few years later.

    Edit: nope, it sounded too good to be true. He didn't serve time. He is still a CEO of something else. FML.

  • California Successfully Tests 'Virtual Power Plant', Drawing Power From Batteries in 100,000 Homes

  • It should be configurable to limit draw and depending of SoC, and it should be compensated. But it should be possible.

    If you are connected to the grid you participate in the grid. You shouldn't be allowed to avoid it, unless you go off the grid entirely.

  • Interior halts offshore wind leasing, claims industry was favored by Biden administration

    Jump

  • “Based on data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, one advanced nuclear plant (2 x AP1000) produces 33.17 MW per acre, while one offshore wind farm produces approximately 0.006 MW/acre, which is approximately 5,500 times less efficient than one nuclear plant,” Interior said.

    Yeah, wasted space, they should build a nuclear power plant over that... check notes... ocean.

  • Are you trying to be a cliche stereotype of a vegan in a joke?

    I'm not vegan, I don't eat meat and I very occasionally eat fish. I follow this community because veganism is something I value without being fully committed to it. The idea of eating something I like without the bitter ethical side-dish (in theory, nothing is perfect) is very interesting to me. And totally worth of the "vegan" label.
