hoping that it’ll return once there’s a bit more moonlight; full moon is a week away, we shall see!

looking forward to the mandatory copyright gate that all material has to pass through before being made available online

“no sorry this shitpost is too similar to one copyright 2018 by doodoohead29 , you’ll need to change at least three referents to be considered an original work.”

a portal to an alternate universe would certainly spice things up a bit around here

Remember when handheld computers were called “Personal Digital Assistants” for some bizarre reason?

i wonder about the frictions we’re removing that will turn out to be load-bearing…

Mote @mote.bsky.social · 6d

for the year so far i’ve used 14.5 MWh and only needed to import 4.3 MWh (most of that over winter), saving AU$3570! (and $200 for my 4 MWh of exports)

The whole system will have paid for itself much sooner than expected; every time the power company raise prices the deal gets even better!

i’ve had my solar+batteries in its current config for a couple years now, still love tracking the stats.

two days left in the month, but:
- used 916 kWh
- imported 45 kWh
- exported 678 kWh

not too shabby; works out to around AU$330 saved!

This is footage taken earlier today of the eye of Hurricane Melissa.

The entire view is remarkable, of the core of one of the strongest Atlantic basic hurricanes in recorded history, and a catastrophic hit to Jamaica and the central Caribbean.
