community. bikes. despair. send help

Professionally:

EDU infosec. terrified. send thoughts and or prayers.

Previously: Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). I know some stuff about how fresh water gets to your house, and how the poops escape.

Personally: read the toots.

i live on Payómkowishum land. What does it mean to acknowledge this? Where are the Payómkowishum? Is a relationship with them possible?

if i interact with you, its because i find you or what you post interesting, and want to be your friend. sometimes jokes dont land, or nuance is lost. we all deserve as much grace as can be given- at least until we are revealed to be monsters.

Often i will see a post about how mastodon is unable or unwilling to moderate the deplorables and is unwelcoming to many different kinds of people and think: are we on the same fediverse?

So ill open the All Servers feed and the shrieking hellscape reminds me of the truth

Give some money to truthout if you can. They do very good work.

Another data point in the ongoing enshittification of literally everything:

The kid, Sophomore at community college as well as a perfectionist and very good writer, was accused of using genai to write an intro post to the class.

Apparently, writing a coherent paragraph in one go is beyond the expected capability of students.

Kid is understandably upset.

What a lazy professor, besides the obvious dishonesty of using an ai detector to evaluate the writing of students whos work they have never before seen.

My Name is Nobody is the best spaghetti western.

Terrence Hill and Henry Fonda are radiant. The physical comedy is top notch, and the Morricone score sings.

The brutish villains get their reward, while the good guys are Good Guys.

One: holy shit hudson’s bay company still exists?

Two: if there was ever a corporation that should have every asset immediately transferred to indigenous people, without delay, its HBC.

long. electricity/solar babbling

I am considering adding storage to my house's solar system in an attempt to counter the chicanery of my nemesis Southern California Edison.

There is a lot to consider and #homeassistant has been very helpful. with a few sensors i am able to trend generation, grid consumption, backfeed, and the demand of many loads. one surprising thing ive learned is that running our AC and the blower exceeds my current solar capacity by about 1000 watts- i get 5kw at peak of the day.

my house was built in the early 90s and is not very well insulated, so the air runs a lot. while our baseline is low (around 800 watts) and we are selling power back most of the day, once the AC kicks on, the SunnyBoy hits max output and SCE supplements the rest of nearly 12kW to get it moving and 1000 watts during the run cycle.

now i just need to find a softstart for the AC, a coupon for the new hybrid inverter and fat stack of batteries, and maybe an electrician to make sure i dont burn my house down.

i REALLY wish i had had this kind of data when we put the system in 10 years ago.
