having the ability to get an infosec job isnt = intelligence. tbh most of the people ive met in the last 5 years who were working corprate infosec / cyber are not particularly skilled or creative just good at filling out reports doing the greyface suit thing.

im not op but im an offgrid farmer i use lead carbon batteries they have held up well. on a 5k inverter i run a 70 inch tv, stand alone freezer and a fridge/freezer. my home lab has been reduced to a few pis a unfi usg plus a couple of access points. i have an lte 4g ptp connection. i use gas for hot water and cooking (kinda cheating) woodfire in winter and i currently cook in summer but am working on a daytime solution with some extra panels and a second inverter -> reverse cycle. these batteries are 5 years old still going strong. only thing i dont run is stuff with an element like electric kettle. other than that no huge difference in quality of life.

The floury or mealy texture can happen regardless of variety, most of the apples you buy for the supermarket are up to a year old. they gas them with a chemical that stops ripening then keep them in a very low oxygen environment (usually on farm). it tends to cause the not nice floury texture.

i currently own a small cattle farm in rural australia and you are correct collars really are not a good solution not only do they rub on things but they love chewing on things especially rubber or plastic wires and electronics they would 100% chew on each others collars. We already use rfid ear tags which are small and unobtrusive and they still manage to occasionally rip those out, rubbing on things. If you were mustering a herd on a large holding say a few thousand hectares this could possibly be of some value at least in initially finding the herd however at least in my country if you are on a multiple k hectare property there is a good chance you wont have any sort of mobile coverage, also cows are creature of habit they have there daily grazing route they eat one place rest in another depending on time of day and weather conditions farmers typically know this. I will also add that the value proposition I have seen with other smart tags that are actual ear tags that do temp / heart rate etc etc does not add up at least with my small holding. the price per month of $5 per cow would eat into the already somewhat slim margins, the data is great but it isn't anything i would not notice by visually checking stock daily. im very skeptical on the faas model in general. Farmers at least in my country would balk at spending that sort of money a month that doesn't directly add very much in the way of weight / condition per month, at least from a beef cattle stand point. (perhaps on a prize bull you could justify the monthly fee)
