They didn’t get a definition. Probably looked at the word „sprint“. Went: „Yep, sounds fast but only for a short period. Gotta be these 90 hour weeks once in a while. Definitely ca…

Yey, we contribute 432 kWh to that. Northern Germany, small 6.3 kWp system.

Fair. How is this specific to the marketed AI integration? This could just be a unifying abstraction layer for a bunch of, in my opinion, verbose chart APIs. And then the LLM could…

There’s this great post about „The Death Of Day Dreaming“: https://www.afterbabel.com/p/on-the-death-of-daydreaming

Already switched to CachyOS, haven’t booted to Windows 10 since then. Desktop gaming was my only use, everything else happens on an M1 Air. It’s a delight, no pop ups, sell ups, Co…

IIRC, WARN filings in NYC require to indicate whether lay-offs were due to AI. None of the filings of the past year checked that box [1] [1] https://www.hrgrapevine.com/us/content/…

„How To Build a Thrust Vectored Model Rocket“ has a good section on this IIRC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cw9K9yuIyU

Check button hidden under the URL bar thing in safari, progress bar hidden when scrolling check button in view. In between endless whitespace.

Have been paying for Fastmail for years. It’s actually fast and lets me use my own domain. (And doesn’t shove AI down my throat). Cash well spent.

Installed CachyOS to replace my Win 10 installation a month ago. Not looking back! But yeah this sucks, I've mostly used Ubuntu with apt in the past. Pacman and makepkg felt a bit …

I thought the AdGuard folks were looking doing just that!

It's so satisfying to see all these techniques applied to a product. There's nothing really new tech-wise. Optimistic updates were shown in a lot of early React demos more than ten…

Huh, that somehow reminds me of Crassus from Rome [1] > The first ever Roman fire brigade was created by Crassus. Fires were almost a daily occurrence in Rome, and Crassus took adv…

I guess „it‘s complicated“. For our system, 6kWp with iMSys, the grid operator can cap the ingestion as they see fit. For systems over 7kWp, you are required to install a iMSys tha…

IIIRC, new individual systems are already required to have the capability to wind down export based on external signals.

Interesting perspective! Are we in the „fast fashion“ period of software now?

Pretty cool! (I can't test it, seems unavailable in Germany). How are you handling the text extraction with Readability.js? Does that run in a WebView in the background? I've built…

Real nice! Shutting down networking between refreshes definitely helps with the battery life. I also prevent mine [1] from updating between 10PM and 6AM. Nobody is looking at it an…

Maybe the folks at TRMNL? https://trmnl.com/

Yep, it’s super cheap. I wrote about mine here:: https://franz.hamburg/writing/kindling-e-ink-dashboard.html

This reminds me about this old gist for generating Firebase-like "push IDs" [1]. Those have some nicer properties. [1] https://gist.github.com/mikelehen/3596a30bd69384624c11

I think they mean that even an OLED display will actively emit light. When, in contrast, the e-ink displays shown in the linked posts are unlit. That, for me, is the key advantage …

I love just how non-intrusive an e-ink dashboard is sitting in a room. Definitely can recommend it as a base device that gets you display, wonky Linux, a battery and networking in …

Actually used it for a desktop blogging app a few years ago. It was great! I could set up a blog skeleton, send the file to a family member. They could focus on writing content and…

Thanks, yes it’s obviously for a power system.
