I used the ClimaCell api about a year ago as part of a POC and it was pretty nice. The biggest feature for my use case was their granularity. The ability to query the service using a point (lat/long) and have returned the specific weather for that location was nice. All other services required two requests, one to find the nearest weather station, another to query said station for data. ClimaCells model predicts weather for locations where no forecast data exists. I would recommend ground-truthing the forecasted vs actuals for the modeled areas. Beyond their api, they have a pretty killer dashboard where you can plot your assets and set geofences for weather alerts.

Photovoltaics (PV) is not a new technology. It’s been in production-state since the 50’s and powering percentages of some countries for at least the past ~5 years.

Adopt the existing, proven and cost-effective implementation of PV (~3’ x ~5’ aluminum framed panels).

Waiting on Elon to figure out boutique solar so the affluent can all install it first and drive mass adoption (decade?) stalls PV development as much as the US tariff on Chinese-made solar!

Back of napkin math is:

- 100ft.2 of solar panels (Qty: 5, off the shelf, ~3’ x ~5’ panels) = ~1kW of AC electricity (post-inverter, in low-sun Seattle)

- At the roof, this represents 10 wires and ~8 roof penetrations (racking lags through flashing into rafters)

AKA: simple setup, proven implementation

Questions:

- How many wires (points of failure) are in 100ft.2 of solar shingles?

- How many roof penetrations?

- How many roofer-electricians do you know?

- Why can we not just embrace existing panel technology and put them everywhere, yesterday?

Rant:

- We don’t need boutique renewable energy, we need ubiquitous RE.

- Elon, get your priorities straight. In the three years you’ve been trying to figure out the perfect solar status symbol, you could have installed megawatts of photovoltaics.

As someone (non-programmer, yet text-curious) who spent ~9months of this short life learning Emacs so I could use org-mode, I love using VS Code.

It’s non-esoteric, easy to pick up, easy to kick ass with, and easy to show others how to kick ass with it.

The terrible parts:

- I don’t trust it , from a privacy-first standpoint, as much as I trust Emacs

- There appears to be absolutely NO security around third party extensions (not good for newbs nor enterprise envs)

I really want the things Guix provides, but I'm not a computer scientist. Feels like you need to be to make it work somewhat like the linux desktop I enjoy computing on (text editor, graphical web browser, sky, virtualbox, postman, osb, keepassxc, etc.)

Ubuntu 18.04

ASUS ROG G750JZ lappie

2x-256GB SSD RAID 0

LUKS FDE using LVM - /boot/efi: 512M - /boot: 488M - /: 460G - /SWAP: 15G

1x-1TB HDD

RAID:

  /home almost exclusively .folders.

  /home/documents/<everything is a project>

  Every <project> is a private git repo

  /home/documents is my only VS Code Workspace

  Everything is markdown with yaml frontmatter.

  Everything possible is a snippet.

  All screenshots are pasted into an .md file. The VS Code extension places each at /project/assets. 

  All photos and videos are taken and stored on phones.

Backed up to external drives every 6 months or so.

  /home/Desktop is empty, /home/Downloads gets emptied often

HDD: unused
