@Plushy_Kingdom@plush.city Storydragon has some extensive soft and fluffy emotional support net! It's so great to see how plushies can help! Extra cuddles from the plush here to the gang to help in these hectic times!

@Plushy_Kingdom@plush.city Ooh, cool! :O Enjoy all!

@Purple Yeah, sounds familiar sadly. One day one of my colleagues can write perfect high quality code and the next day I am looking at a PR and the WTF/min is incredibly high and I know what happened... When confronted in the way if "I am not really sure why you wrote it like this, normally you have a very different style" they admit they used AI that day cause they were lazy... And it's often very obviously weird stuff... Like for example we always program Python with typing and suddenly there is no typing anywhere to be found. Recently I even got a PR where >everything< was done using getattr meta-programming instead of typed property access and that >should< be something you almost never need to use and wonder when reading even once. I really like my colleagues and normally they can make wonderful stuff, but when things like this happen... I don't know, they just given up or something? 😅

@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz @TechConnectify@mas.to The panels themselves are yeah, but due to decisions in politics we do face the fact the energy they produce can become worthless without a battery or a way to control them. So even though I got solar panels already I need to look into a several thousand euro investment to not pay for them being there that is very unlikely to pay back soon... :P There is environmental reasons why I will, money just ain't everything with solar in The Netherlands at the moment.

@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz @TechConnectify@mas.to Simply answered: my house is not off grid nor do I want that. But just getting this professionally done, for sanity but also following guidelines for insurance etc. blows up the costs. Electricians are not cheap to start with. :P

@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz @aris@infosec.exchange Do take into account your time and what you are getting into, that it's still not finished is an indicator how much worth it can be. But also I quite frankly find it a bit dangerous what you are preaching to just get any random stuff from China without approvals. :P (I guess it wasn't apparent) Consider what risk you are taking and comfortable with.

@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz @aris@infosec.exchange You know very well I am not talking about base materials such as the LiFePo4 here, which the average consumer shouldn't even know. But what it is put in, it's certification and the certification, safety and requirements of the full installation and what you are connecting it to. You do you, but mains and high voltage DC electricity is not a toy. :P
