@sammachin You have Tesla Batteries iirc?
What is local connectivity to them like? Or is that why you got the Bright CAD?
Also were your's covered by the recall that had them remotely drained and made unusable?
But given the local supplier wasn't even interested in engaging to provide a quote...
Hmm, Octopus Solar quote is about 170% initial "auto generated website" price.
Now it does include 3 extra panels, but those shouldn't be the major factor here.
Also includes a Tesla battery that I'm not thrilled about having heard about them getting remotely disabled and possibly loosing configuration (@revk did you find out why yours did that recently?)
If the difference is all the challenging fitting then that will be slightly more acceptable, but will challenge them for other options.
@aaisp I can't remember, are account quotas just download or a combination of both up and down?
I thought I remembered they were just download?
OK, that's 2 of these GPS modules I've tried and both DoA
I get absolutely nothing out of them over UART and the PPS light is on solid
I can't really work out what could be wrong with them, the description says they should be 5v capable, over tried 3.3v as well. They are supposed to default to 9600 but I've tried other speeds as well.
It feels like there's too many other components for it to be a fake...
Any suggestions?
This looks ominous.
Anybody else seeing lots of new sign up attempts?
(I need to get it passing the correct IP address from the upstream proxy)
Anybody aware of something like the old Mu USB charger but upgraded to Gallium Arsenide and USB-C PD?
P.S. no framework either, over hyped and sponsors the fash
I missed the last lot of @starlabssystems MK VII Ultra's with UK keyboards that would take a sensible amount of RAM (you could order with 92gb). The latest Lenovo X1 Carbon's max out at 32gb (soldered)
I'm looking for a machine to do real development on (no, not AI BS, but I do need to run a bunch of containers and VMs).
14" 4k no touch screen, not a Apple thing (M5 may be very nice, it needs to run real Linux & I hate the look of them, Apple UK keyboards are not real UK layout)
Suggestions?
Somebody has just made a post to a OpenSource forum looking for somebody to join "Remote Job Hunting Partnership"
> What I need is someone with strong English communication skills who can confidently handle calls, HR screenings

This feels very much like a North Korean looking for a sock puppet to get a job. And It's purely a coincidence that they are posting from the Pyongyang timezone
Any Kubernetes self hosting Mastodon folks having problems with LibreTranslate?
I had to rebuild my cluster this week and I can't get either the raw manifest or the Helm version to run well, it randomly crashes/restarts the pod with no error messages.
Error report: it's broken
Response: You are going to have to be a little more verbose here, what is broken, where?
ER: it failed
R: Still not helping me help you....
Proposal - Any company that sends marketing/sales spam to a support address should be instantly banned from all future business.
Internet hive mind.
My dad's old Synology NAS is nearly full, mainly it is used to backup his desktop on which he edits his photos. The backup is just rsync so syncs one way, but doesn't remove duplicates when he moves things round.
I'm looking for a tool I can point at a mounted volume that will find duplicates and near duplicates (e.g. cropped versions) of photos and create an index.
Anybody know of a OpenSource tool that does this? Don't want to have to install Immich
GitHub sending out emails today about a price change taking effect Jan 1st 2026 is a bit cheeky when lots of DevOps teams are likely to be thin on the ground
https://resources.github.com/actions/2026-pricing-changes-for-github-actions/
Now while it does suggest that change is likely a reduction in bills, the change to charge for **self hosted** run time is going to sting (that goes live March 1st 2026)
I think @Codeberg and @forgejo are likely to see another uptick in users.
Friday night and another arsehole who doesn't understand that the only thing that Open Source guarantees you is the source, if there is a problem then you are totally free to fix it yourself but you shouldn't get pissy when others don't have the time or motivation to do it for you
Given the push by the Browser's (OK, mainly Google and Apple iirc) to vastly reduce the life time of server certificates (down to 47 days)
That's ~8 certificate changes a year.
What is this going to 5 9s uptime? That's 5m 30 seconds of down town a year that needs to now cover that many restarts before anything else.
(Yeah, I know some things will reload certs on HUP and you can do rolling restarts of clusters)
