Kubernetes even better. Docker containers are based on Linux cgroups, which is boosted setuid. Single kernel means much leaner footprint and even lower energy usage because there is only one kernel processing interrupts and no expensive superprivileged mode context switches as with hardware...

I don't think I've seen much conversation about firewalls, though there is some implicit mention given the "isolated networks". It's pretty easy to build a router that has multiple network connections on it. If you have a public internet connection, keep the router manufacturers and software...

A little OT, but is anyone cautious about having that kind of density concentrated in a single footprint? Or is the LiFePo chemistry so stable that it's not a concern? I can imagine pushing a flaming half rack out of the garage, but not a full rack. Don't want to be dramatic, trying to learn...

Many will say that large language models (LLMs as they are known) are good for reasoning about referentially consistent language that they were trained on. They can probabilistically distill and expose nuanced possibilities from such language through probabilities, but do not have an actual...

That's the one I bought! I like all the info on the screen. After spending $2500 on used panels, it seems like spending another 4% to test them makes sense before putting them on the roof or waiting too long and upsetting the seller with any potential claim.

Same with the Audis on cruise control. I think that's become pretty standard actually, so you won't be embarrassing yourself to teach them. My spidey sense is they are training us all on semi-autonomous driving, one step at a time!

Admittedly what I’m after is not touching the brake pads in normal driving, but also know it’s impractical to regenerate to zero. The Tesla blends the brake at the very end of the stop cycle and does so without the tiny lockup at the end of the process. They did that right. The original Audi...

Also recalibrate what one expects on snowy curves. The weight of the batteries can cause the car to seek the outside of the curve relatively easily.

Our personal EVs don't have one-pedal regen, but I drove a Tesla 3 rental that had it for two weeks and loved it. With a little practice, I rarely had to use the brake and never had to guess whether I was engaging the brake pads. That said, I also drove Nurburgring in a different rented Tesla...

We lived for the last year with no L2 home charger. My EV has three years free charging at Electrify America so I would just take it there. My wife's got plugged into a 110v outlet whenever she was home. Her range is 200m on a warm day and she rarely had to top up at EA. When we got the L2...

Admitting my heart skipped a beat just there... I thought you wrote in your equipment! I really want to see an inverter be able to host small docker containers, like one containing HA.

I was also wondering this, bought one of these pallets that arrived last week and I probably ought to test the panels. Want to find something fun for my 13yo to do with them as well before they go on the roof. Not all of them, of course!

That was a very satisfying read, thanks. You have some serious analog chops. I imagine your remote compound is close to a long enough runway for the occasional turbine powered air taxi to whisk you to emergency jobs that few can comprehend. Please don't ruin the fantasy if that's not true ;)...

That's kind of what I've been thinking too, but wanting to learn about it all the same to help with inverter selection. My ideal inverter would have some kind of external integration options. For instance, Home Assistant internally uses something called "Event Driven Architecture". This is a...
