Checking out various mastodon instances and it reminds me of browsing phpBB forums growing up, in a good way.

Maybe it's time I start getting a bit more serious about posting from my blog and basically ignoring Twitter.

Stinkin' clouds.

Since I've started running almost everyday it a) (oddly) seems more sustainable  and b) puts me within spitting distance of hitting my 100 runs for the year.

Sunbottle is on its final domain, solar.jamesvandyne.com. I've also open sourced it, but it needs more work before it's ready for others to use.

Great twitter thread about the cost of running some beefy Intel NUCs at home vs the cost of a server in the cloud. I wonder if I couldn't just host my blog/services at home like I used to...with solar/battery I've got power backups too :-)

⚡️I’m amazed. Even on this mostly cloudy day it looks with my small panels and small battery (which I didn’t even fill up) will get us to over 80% self-sufficient electric. 

Caveat being it wasn’t super cold today and we still cook / heat water with gas, but better than expected. Can’t wait for the first full sunny day. 

My house is now putting green electrons into the grid  (when it’s not using or storing them) 😀⚡️. Kinda cloudy today, though.

I originally learned about Nude Foods in this video about shopping plastic free. I wish we had one here in Yokohama. So. Much. Plastic.
