Half way back is the best time to remember one of the things you were supposed to get from the pet store right.

Oh well it's not urgent.

I frequently find myself in the 1%.... Of the population that doesn't have working cell service (the carriers often claim ~99% population coverage)

Either I have a fault or BYDs divert the air con to cooling the battery after rapid charging.

If anyone is charging more than about 30-40Kwh on a gridserve rapid charger in a month buy the £8 membership and then cancel the autorenew and pay via the app (so you get the membership pricing)

The membership gives you ~200kWh at 25% off the break even is somewhere around the 30-40Kwh mark which is probably only 1-2 charging sessions!

Yesterday

Charging via instavolt app would have been 92p per kWh

Charging via octopus electroverse app was around 64p kWh due to plunge pricing.

Same instavolt rapid charger in both cases absolute madness.

Grr my co-lo'd router decided to go die this morning.

I'm at the stage of ate too much, might go sleep now

But if I do then I'll not sleep tonight arrgh

Longshot, but does anyone own the Nokia 9110 Upgrade Kit CD and could put an iso on the archive?

So the Marston's WiFi blocks vanilla wireguard but seemingly not NordVPN

Why!?

Replacing that iffy 5400rpm drive with a 10k sas drive is definitely more audible. I can hear it seeking.

Only reason I did it was I happened to have a 2.5" 1.8TB sas drive laying around and the home server has a sas capable backplane.

It's also rather power inefficient abusing moosefs to make each drive a chunkserver as it causes a lot of background CPU usage

Coolest drone ever!

OK, that works... Quite impressed with @jlc3dp - zoom in to see the detail!

The PCB with LEDs to go inside is expected tomorrow.

Update: Someone asked me if this image was real, not AI, or proof of concept: FFS, it is a real photograph I took of a real 3D print!

And yes, I am mastodon only now, so bloody well boost 🙂 thanks.

P.S. never expected "bloody well boost" to work. Thanks all.

The local substations seem to have generators patched in, guessing the area feed went bang in a non trivial way.

Doubt the DNO would be plopping down local generation for the sheer fun of it.

Hah annoyinly i didn't spec the "gateway" option for the solar because "the grid is stable here"... maybe i should rethink that or at least a v2l adaptor to be able to use the car to power things in the house.

I wonder if i have the entire PON to myself at the moment, there's a power cut over quite a wide area.

Certainly other than a couple IOT devices I don't see other peoples wi-fi networks (I fed my router/ont off a bluetti).

Also managed to do dinner with the ecoflow and the air fryer but only just managed to with that stupid xboost on.

The ecoflow is now powering the fridge.

Basically i had a 300wh and a 500wh bluetti (which the router is off) then about 2kWh of ecoflow + battery.

😂😂😂 no idea who made this one but I giggled 🤭 edit: credit http://www.guyscartoons.com

You know this, I know this, it's still nice to have a comic about it.

Ah yes we get to play the game of is it the disk, the backplane or the controller.

Either way I have an iffy drive in my homeserver it seems.

Such a fascinating video - Chris Spargo ends up being taken as a journalist to the G7, and explains exactly what it’s like. The “wine tasting” is hilarious, but as a jobbing journalist, I can absolutely relate! Brilliant watch.
