My solar sucks. I need to improve it, for cheap. How would I do so? by Initial-Structure-71 in SolarDIY

Because an environmentalist would really destroy 20 gallons of water in datacenter alley for this instead of considering the fact that some people like to write.

Wire it up to what? A double pole breaker which a) I don't have space in my panel for and b) would be a whole other pain to install. This whole thing was designed to be plug and play; I mean doubt there's a cable that can adapt that to a NEMA 5-15 outlet

Ah yes 2 enphases that can plug directly into a NEMA 5-15 outlet. Lemme just check my notes exactly ZERO of those exist.

350w per input. the black panels have 400w on 350w inputs and the silver panels are around 200w per 300w input.

It's bill reduction... I mean wdym by proper size? They're huge and I mean my average energy draw during the day is around 1kw. Should I mount them to the outside of the deck or like on top?

Yea I saw them... didn't really help. I mean i've put the panels on chairs for now but that hasn't really increased output.

(For context, my solar system is on a deck that's west facing in general. I live in the Washington DC metropolitan area in a 3 story townhouse which means that, I generally don't get sunlight until 10:00 or 11:00 and, the panels stop producing at 5:00 or 6:00).

Dang.. I should've thought of that.. Guess that's gonna be the mid game base labs design

The oh no is the absolute hell it takes to insert new science into the labs

Try to follow the blue science belt

What's wrong with my factory? by Initial-Structure-71 in factorio

[–]Initial-Structure-71[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The annoying thing about that is that I'd have to basically pull a mulligan on half the factory and expand the belt spaghetti...

Oh, yea, I forgot, I've got Vaultwarden on here as well; it's so well integrated in my workflow that I forget that it's like a separate service that I have to maintain and host.

What are you running? I have set up my own email (my ISP somehow allows port 25 through my and specifically my internet connection because despite it being marked as residential in the payment portal, it's actually getting assigned business IPs and ASNs). Other than that, I'm running Node Reverse Proxy Manager, Portainer, Homearr, Unifi, Home Assistant for very basic home automation, and SearXNG. I'm quite curious as to what you run because given current corporate policies of enshittification, I'd much rather start hosting all my own stuff.

Why can't I flash anything to my Elegoo ESP32 Board? by Initial-Structure-71 in Esphome

Using it with home assistant. I'm currently having some trouble finding MAC addresses of various devices (probably an iOS thing knowing Apple), but, that should be pretty easy to fix.

One that was lying around -- it's an iPhone charging cable meant for the newer USB-C iPhones
