The experiment has been running smoothly so far

(TL;DR for today: was a bit uncertain but still managed 1 laundry and some vacuuming, in addition to the freezer)

This photo is from today at 1pm, because this morning the battery was much lower than usual, with a cloudy sky a few days in a row

I seemed like it was going well so I started a load of laundry, shown in the output in the photo

Two hours and a stretch of clear skies later, the battery was upwards of 70% so I got a little greedy and I did some vacuuming too, and it dropped to 40% (no surprise there)

I was hoping to get it back above 50% before the sun rays stop shining on the panels, so that it can last the night for the freezer

Seems that I am in luck, it’s now 5:30pm and the battery level is at 60%, cloudy skies again but charging a little regardless, and I only need a half charge to tie it up with tomorrow’s first rays (if they are on time)

People who want to post in several languages on their unique account can go crazy, I won’t mind

I’ve been experimenting with my newish solar battery

Represented here is the end of the charge cycle yesterday at about the same time the sun started to set

I’ve been powering the freezer with this 2 kWh battery, and every morning there is ~50% charge left, and so far every day I get it up to 90% (by choice) from solar alone

I can also do a load of laundry or two, and some vacuuming, without being even connected to the grid (if I get the timing right)

Of course this is clear summer weather, so this won’t be the same all year

(This is far from sufficient to power the entire house, it’s just an experiment)

Essentially, 1-2 kWh that aren’t drawn from the grid on a daily basis

Sometimes people baffle me

situation 1

At the local organic store

On the parking lot, this older dude who came in to buy one small box of a supplement or something, got into his nice car, threw out a plastic gum wrapper that was on his seat

But not in the bin that was a few feet away, no, on the floor just outside his car

situation 2

At the bakery

They sell organic flour so I ask, which of your breads is made with it?

Turns out none of them, it costs too much

That’s a new one, is this vibe -calling?

Someone actually left me a voice message with

• “hello sir Rossolini how are you?”
• office sounds for over two minutes, the operator having shut up

That’s my voice mail, did you expect me to pick up the entire time

No clue who they are, btw

AI critics have been saying both

• that these companies are not profitable, when talking about their economics and business models;

@analog_ashley @grimalkina I was listening to the dire wolf episode and the score/index discussion reminded me of my recent failure to properly calibrate my diy sensors 😅

(That isn’t my main takeaway from the episode)

Me, trying to change the email in my profile on a website in this modern age

The field is greyed out, so I’m going to their support page

That’s a tiny form in the margin but ok, I write my request and submit

An interstitial comes up, asking me to review this entry in their FAQ in case it solves my request before I bother the humans, and I think great, I needed a tutorial for the edit button

But of course

• it isn’t a simple link that I can open in another tab, no, it’s a button that replaces the entire form
• the FAQ entry is a single sentence that says “simply contact us”

I’ve spent the better part of the day trying to install python2 on RaspberryOS (bookworm, freshly flashed)

I don’t even want it for myself, it’s just a dependency for a project who didn’t build it into their .deb file (probably with good reason)

Attempt 1

(2 hours)

Didn’t know it would take that long, timed out

Attempt 2

(2 hours)

Of course it didn’t resume, but started over although this time I used a tmux session

Failed for a missing dependency that wasn’t identified early on

Attempt 3

(ongoing)

We’ll see…

Let’s say that my cat jumped on the desk and settled in the nook of my arm

Then perhaps I face planted in her sun-warmed fur

That’s when I discovered that despite being over 40, I can still see clearly up close if my eyelids are half closed

@FediTips Hi, is there a way to tag a post in several languages (for translation purposes)?

For example when I’m talking to an English audience but I’m quoting a French text, what’s the etiquette there?

Perhaps I should tag in French in that case

Second winter with my hybrid heat pump (installed August 2023), here are the gas graphs

The month of January is single handedly keeping my emissions and my bill higher than I’d like for the entire year, but even so, I like the new trend

Of course the electricity graphs have a similar shape, though not as dramatic, and 2022-2023 were flat the entire time

Heat pumps work great, just don’t rely on the overall energy bill getting much lower

I don’t own AirPods, I’m just sitting in a train full of people I don’t know, and I’ve had this pop up twice in the last half hour

Never mind, since I’m using a CSV buffer I eventually realized that this data format usually translates well into SQL storage…

tl;dr Today I went from 250ms writing data every 6 second, to 800ms every 5 minute for the same data

After some reading of the SQLite docs, I changed my import method to a simple batch ETL script

I can’t load the data straight from CSV to the final table because not the same fields, and also I like the TAB character as a separator whereas SQLite doesn’t allow it, but I found a way that works well

It’s also really faster (no surprise there) compared to a programmatic method and loops, even with prepared statements
