Yup, I did some on-campus IT work while I was in college and it was super trivial to detect when people would have their own networks in the dorms

I spun up a MQTT/Aedes/MongoDB stack on my network recently for some ESP32 sensors.

Fantastic protocol and super easy to work with!

Interesting, I haven’t considered pruning it back before.

I definitely wish I could have some of the more mature top leaves lower on the plant, so pruning/propagating the top cuts. But if I pruned first, sounds like I could start replanting the top cuts.

Good tip. I’ve tried a little air-layering in the past with this plant, but personally found more success with water propagation.

I do have a juvenile deliciosa that I plan to use a plank with as soon as it’s large enough.

~~Not sure if this applies to this situation. But there have been instance where non-GMO farmers have had their crops cross pollinated, so are now growing a non-GMO/GMO hybrid. Then because these plants are patented or whatever, they’ve been sued by Monstanto and friends for growing their crop without permission.~~ Edit: might be misinformed on this one, doing some reading about this now

And for the record, I’m not anti-GMO, I’m anti-GMO Corporation. I have no problem eating them if I’m not supporting the evil corporations that usually develop them.

Sidebar, humans have been genetically modifying food since we started to farm, the wild version of most food we eat is unrecognizable from the tabletop one.

Venti water, extra ice, room for creamer should do it

I like nuclear and all, but I don’t think nuclear can fill the same spot as peaker plants. Nuclear usually fills the base load needs on the grid. I don’t believe there’s nuclear with ramp rates capable of competing with a peaking gas turbine.

Energy storage does fill this gap usually. My ideal grid would be a semi-flexible nuclear baseload (+ some ancillary services), renewable “mid-load,” and energy storage peaking (+frequency response, etc.).

Yea my Adblock Home (pihole alternative) blocks the ads on my Roku home screen. Now it’s just a big blank box.

Hawaiian Electric's modeling suggests it can reduce curtailment of renewables by an estimated 69% for the first five years thanks to Kapol Energy Storage, allowing surplus clean electricity that would otherwise waste to get onto the grid.

Can’t comment on Linux compatibility. But on my windows PC I use a Gulikit King Kong 2 Pro. Really like it so far, no major issues, pretty good battery life.

The Framework laptop brand gives me hope.

Unfortunately they still seem have a relatively high cost for their performance. But you can’t beat the modular design.

Also the current Linux offerings for Apple Silicon (M1/M2) are very much “Beta”. And have some serious battery efficiency issues, don’t currently support audio drivers, have some peripheral problems, etc.

Looking forward to using one once they get them up to speed though.
