    So many things are outside of your control, and all any of us can do is look after the people that we have the power to help.

    In the context, I'm sure your job feels unimportant and trivial, but for those around you it's an island of stability in the storm of chaos.

    In some markets, the power price actually goes negative and consumers can be paid to use energy.

    I think there's plenty of money out there to use excess power, someone just has to connect the dots...

    Most use a horizontal single axis configuration and could just tilt the panels away from the sun.

    The real question that we should be asking, is why nobody can think of what to do with free energy?

    Desalination? Mine Bitcoin? Giant space laser?

  • When I copy some long string like json from a debugger, and want to look at it properly formatted it starts off encoded with /n and /t characters, etc. I usually go: - Replace (Normal) /n -> qqqq - Replace (Extended) qqqq -> /n Is there some trick to do this in one step?

    Had a long series of failed prints, tried levelling, replacing parts, nothing worked. Finally by chance I noticed that the LED matrix had burnt out/broken LEDs. But where can I get a replacement? Can you do one module at a time or do I need a whole new unit?

    Usual story - joined a startup and their production database is a single instance RDS running 11.3. We can't upgrade or scale or even change configuration without taking the database offline. We want to move everything to an Aurora Postgres compatible cluster that can scale horizontally. What options do we have? I've used Bucardo in the past to do one-way sync, but how is it at multi-master replication? What would you use for this task?

    Hi, the other day our 2010 M1 xDrive diesel made a loud pop - sounded like a backfire - and the "reduced engine capacity" warning came up on the console. Car still drives, but it has way less power. Someone suggested it could be the intercooler connection to the turbo. Has anyone else had this happen, and how expensive is it to replace?
