I think my experience is skewed by not having a dcfc capable car. I charge exclusively j1772. And use plugshare to find the chargers. In 5 years of ownership I’ve charged not at home probably 150 times. Of those times I would say I couldn’t get the charger to work maybe 20 times. And of those 20 probably half didn’t have any other option at the same location that I was able to get working.

Again this is skewed by filtering through plug share and not even attempting locations that have comments claiming they’re broken.

Shit no deals with Boeing, Northrup Grumman, etc.

Oh well, I’m certain they won’t bribe Congress to force their deals through… /s

I haven’t found anything solid. It’s dropped off my plate for now.

I will probably end up self hosting some xmpp for it.

German language is just older, not necessarily dumber.

I personally see it as more intelligent language, as it’s got rules that it follows, instead of the always sometimes but never not rules of English.

Eventually nobody.

Capitalism isn’t about sustainability, it’s about making the most amount of profit in the shortest amount of time.

Eventuall you bleed everyone dry and nobody has a job. But for a short amount of time the shareholders will have had a huge number of 0’s and 1’s in a database somewhere equating to their “worth”

Definitely better inside your chest than outside it. So I hear.

You do understand how much energy (and therefore pollution) it takes to launch any significant mass above the karman line, right?

I have enphase inverters as well. I don’t find their data to be useful.

I went the route of installing two circuit setup boards running esp8266. One is installed in the subpanel in the garage where the solar feeds, the other is installed at the main panel on the main cables before any loads.

This way I can more accurately see production and usage. And can tell during production how much I’m actually utilizing before sending residual back to grid.

If I had only one panel and the solar fed directly into it, I’d use one of the 6 channel circuitsetup boards instead to monitor both solar feed and main.

A good rule of thumb is to look just below the side mirrors. The average height person seated correctly will see the stop line appear just below the side mirrors when the front bumper is at the line.

Easy way to know with yourself in your own car is to park right at the line, then sit in the drivers seat and compare where the line is in relation to the mirrors when seated normally.

Would this not require a battery as well, as usually the light is only lit while the door is open.

Making vacation even worse for said battery.

“the data collected by apps… Cannot reliably be used to harm me”

So you’re saying that someone can’t use your location, recordings of your audible surroundings, recordings of your devices camera view, and whom you may be interacting with cannot be used to harm you?

Proton has stopped the “visionary” that allows SMTP, now it’s only available in business accounts. :( I tried setting up the bridge CLI, but so far haven’t been able to get it to send anything after logging in and syncing the account, Maybe I’ll try again once I’ve got some things off my plate.

Setup rules that forward to an IP:port I used a guide on smarthomebeginner initially. I’ll try and find it found it.

The rich are on the top decks where the valve controls are, they don’t have wet feet, why should they close the valves?

Esphome, esp8266 or esp32, a couple relays, a tilt sensor, and a bit of code (probably find examples on GitHub) and you’ve got yourself the same functionally without need for external phone home (other than how you interface with ha remotely)

Time to code your own thermostat.

An esp32, a 4x or 8x relay board, and a 24vac to 5vdc rectifier/regulator and you’re golden.

Even has WiFi ;)

Ah, look at the titanic while shitting in an outhouse sized tube with 4 other people… What an experience

Jack and charger ports can be controlled by the phone to turn off if there is low resistance (ie water) between contacts.

A battery is harder, as it’s what provides the power to the thing that decides whether to turn off the port. Not that it’s impossible to put some smarts into a battery, to decide when to power the output. But it’s going to add a lot of complexity and bulk to do it (switching circuit, logic circuits, etc)

I see it as a longevity thing.

Sure you can bring another battery pack with you and charge your device from it, but at some point your internal battery will be degraded enough that it essentially needs to be plugged in to function, which is not feasible.

Being able to easily replace the thing in the device that wears out fastest is a good thing.

Granted I expect if this does go through, that mfg will make the battery hard to replace by other means (ie drm locks) making sure they can nickel and dime the consumer all the way.
