The lie made into the rule of the world - Ezekiel 23:20
Yes, it requires hardware
Meshtastic
As much as we try to argue otherwise, it's our default state. It's not conditioning, it's nature.
I think you're excluding a large group of people (1). The nature vs nurture debate on that one isn't clearly solved, but it seems one both needs the genetics and conditioning to arrive at an emotion based, rather than cognitive based, thinking system. Let alone to develop those specific triggers.
see electricity as an expense rather than something that reduces profits
An expense is something that reduces profit. They're the same :)
Thank you!
Can you share the model of that 12V cup? I'm looking for something similar :)
Here in Belgium, the component related to power generation is only about one fifth of the residential power bill.
Most are (1) connection costs (what you describe), (2) taxes, (3) subsidies for solar and wind to replace gas power generation, and (4) since 2 years, subsidies for gas power generation for when there's too little solar and wind.
The size of the storage problem is not well understood by most. The world production of batteries is insufficient to power germany with 100% renewables.
A possible solution is changing consumption patterns (in jargon known as demand-response). This runs into 2 issues: (1) people need to change their behaviour, with they wont. (2) You handicap your economy, to the benefits of countries that do not care about emissions. With a good chance that the net result is more emissions.
How do you heat water?
Then tell me why the mechanism to control production via the solar panels themselves hasn't been implemented?
Why would you want people to tell you things that are untrue?
I'm not sure much about solar curtailment, other than the fact that they receive curtailment requests and comply quite quickly as well.
Here in the EU, the DC-AC transformers are mandated to shut down if the grid frequency is out of bounds.
That's pretty vastly different, isn't it?
Not really. It's like saying toast falls butter side down, vs toast falls non-buttered side up?
Perhaps some are conditioned for an emotional response, rather than a rational one, upon hearing certain words? That's why you suggest to avoid them, even to describe the same issue?
Colossal is an understatement

I like that phrasing, clever :)
Looking for ideas: offline entertainment device
I'm looking to build a small entertainment device for use in my offgrid place. I'd like to use it for reading, music and movies. I'd like for it to have low power needs. And for it to carry a varied library.
How would you build such a thing?
My initial idea is to repurpose an android phone, install VLC, and an SD card with pirated video transcoded to 720p, ebooks and mp3s.
Does it make sense to maximize battery life by jailbreaking the phone and disabling background services?
Thanks for your input

Alternative to chromecast?
I'm looking for a wireless HDMI cable essentially, as that's the only way I use my chromecast. So I don't care about it running android or apps.
Anyone got ideas or suggestions?

Mining without joining a pool?
I'm currently running xmrig, but I'd like to mine without joining a pool. I understand the tradeoffs, that I'm likely to never be the one to mine a block.
Anyone here that does the same? Or knows of a way to do that?

A little trick for changedetection.io and shadowdom
I selfhost changedetection.io to get notifications when a webpage changes.
Most of the time, the build-in visual selector is all I need to select the parts of the page I want it to monitor.
Some of the time I need to write custom (CSS) query selectors.
Today I had an interesting case where both of those methods failed. The page (laposte.fr) uses webcomponents who write to shadowdom. Shadowdom isn't directly addressable by CSS or Xpath or ... filter.
The trick was to run some custom javascript, in the "browser steps" section:
document.body.innerHTML = document.querySelector("#shadowdom_parent_container").shadowRoot.textContent;
This replaces the document body with whatever text is inside the webcomponent. Now it's as simple as having the monitor watch for changes on the body tag.
My experience using ethanol as fuel
Tldr: Pro: easy to use, versatile, low capex. Contra: high opex, hard to light in cold, fuel storage
As winter came faster than I wanted, and my cabin build always goes slower than I want, I've had to improvise on heating. So I've been burning alcohol as my main fuel source in my small cabin the last few months.
The burners are circa 10cm diameter ceramic spunges in stainless steel tins, as pictured. I made a variety of lids to the tins, with holes in them. The size and quantity of the holes affect heat output and duration of burning.
The setup cost me around 35EUR.
For high heat output, such as for cooking, I use lids with large holes. In the evening, I use multiple burners with small holes, so that they burn for longer.
Overall it works well. They're very easy to refill, and light. Unless it's really cold (<5C), then I put them, closed, in my pocket for 10 minutes to pre heat them.
As my cabin is small (2.5m by 3m), and well insulated, it heats the inside temperature
My ezpz rain collector
It's an 80l trash can.
The inverted lid has small holes drilled in them and act as the rain collector.
Two more pairs of holes, at the edge of the lid and into the container, together with some string keep the lid from blowing away.
