A billion people isn’t a small minority. You and me are part of it.

As a fellow member of these 10%, do you?

No raindrop feels responsible for the flood.

I think of us as the golden billion. With the consumption still growing, mostly with China’s help.

Which progress?

I was aware since it was mentioned on /r/rust

I read only one community on old.reddit.com, with VPN on. The moment they start asking for login there will be the moment my last contact with that site goes away.

You’re part of that group, though.

That’s you and me.

Well, it looks like shit. I hope GrapheneOS will stay free of it.

Yeah, lots of young people apparently. After the second 24" screen of my dual screen (primary is a 32" QHD) started dying I’ve ordered a curved 44.5" DQHD 1440p as a replacement. Will arrive tomorrow, I hope I didn’t make a mistake by not ordering a second 32" QHD instead.

Most but the oldest mechanical meters cannot run backwards. Whatever you don’t consume is gifted to the grid.

The solar inverter shuts down in milliseconds if it detects that mains power is gone. The reason for it is the one you cited.

This behaviour can be changed with a different firmware.

They inject power into your local single phase circuit, with surplus escaping into the grid. Where it gets no farther than to the next consumer. There are kits with few kWh buffer battery which can aim for zero feed in if you’re not feeling altruistic.

They pay for themselves in two years or less. Legal 800 W feed-in limited still allow for 2 kWp total module power and increasingly there are buffer batteries.

This is why I have 2 kWp, on the roof. Suboptimal orientation, some afternoon shading so only 4.5 kWh/day longterm average.

Vertical is good for the winter. Vertical free standing bifacials are surprisingly good year over, because of better convection cooling and reflection, especially from snow or water.

Balkonkraftwerk makes zero power when the grid is down.

GrapheneOS does have modem isolation, and when it tells the modem to be off, then it’s really off.

I only use MS stuff on my work notebook. My wife and kid do use it, though.

Install over browser is a really low entry bar. Commercial would see about zero users.
