Listen to this guy, made a solar powered trailer/workshop and battery storage is the biggest limitation. If you get 3 days of bad weather the battery drains and you go offline. Or you spend tons of money over sizing the system and the batteries are wasted 95% time. Its a game of numbers and use cases.

czardestructo@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Data Removal Services or just Google myself and remove my own data9·12 days agoI paid for a year of an incogni family plan and wiped my whole household off the internet. Within a month google searching largely stopped coming up with hits other than accounts I personally created. I’ve been quite happy with the service, It took no effort just $100.

New Hampshire is the closest thing America has to feral freedom, their moto is “Live free or die”, not sure why everyone always talks about Texas being the wild west anymore.

czardestructo@lemmy.worldto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•I'm a 64-year-old Amazon employee. Retirement wasn't even on my radar, but now I have to leave due to RTO mandates.8·28 days agoWhich is why not enough younger employees want to climb the ladder anymore. I avoid promotions too, just not worth it. There is going to be a lot of unqualified clowns getting promoted and running companies in the future just because they were willing to eat enough shit.
I just installed mine for the first time 4 days ago. I was excited, it worked, looked great. Then it cracked, in 4 days. I have no faith in screen protectors anymore.
czardestructo@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How to send backups on multiple location?English3·29 days agoI went a little crazy and setup my own wireguard VPN network, all the remote hosts connect to the VPN and the primary server connects to each of them and pushes backups. Because I use btrfs and lots of snapshots I use btrbk, annoying to setup but now my hourly snapshots get pushed everywhere, minimal bandwidth and it flawlessly has worked for years.
czardestructo@lemmy.worldto Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Americans spend nearly $100 billion a year on fishing. Here's how climate change is threatening the industry.1·30 days agoMy father wants to sell his deep sea fishing boat, no more fish to catch. He is so heavily restricted on what he can catch there is no point going out anymore. Meanwhile when he goes out into international waters and fishes based on these rules he has to dodge all the international fishing trawlers that scrap the ocean clean. Very frustrating.
For what it’s worth I hope he sells his boat. It’s stupid and wasteful to burn 200 gallons of gas to perhaps catch one shark. It’s painfully wasteful.

Randomly they turn on the network card, pull a fresh copy and go black again. Safe from randomware and automatic.

I have a trailer (workshop) with solar power, batteries, a raspberry pi controlling everything and a cellular hot spot. It pumps all the solar, battery information and light controls over MQTT and home assistant over cellular. So yes its possible, what do you want to do?

czardestructo@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•am i insane? is this common with women who just have hormonal problems?81·2 months agoI’m not a doctor and a dude, just speaking from personal experiences and shared stories, but are you on birth control? Birth control pills made my wife emotionally unstable when she was PMSing and finally she had enough and stopped taking them. It was a night and day difference and she hasn’t taken them since. Just food for thought.
Its essentially my garage and workbench with tools. My home doesnt have a garage so I made one. I built a modest bench into the nose of the trailer and put the inverter, battery and equipment under it. There is a cell hotspot and raspberry pi that controls the vent fans, exterior lights, etc so its a fully self contained, mobile workshop I can take wherever and I control it all from a website and get solar analytics. I usually park it way out back on my property.
