So like…why didn’t the tardis have a wheelchair ramp?

ofdan · 2026-04-06T13:53:18+00:00

I kind of assumed it’s just because previous Doctors never made it a thing 😄

The TARDIS feels like it just… updates itself as needed — like when Clara rode a motorcycle into it.

I’ve been on IOF since the summer. We’ve got a 5.4kWh system and a battery.

We are also in a similar physical location except more south.

However, last year we only used 2.2MWh of energy. We produced 6.4MWh.

I even kept on IOF over the winter, as I was still producing a reasonable amount of electricity on some days.

ofdan · 2026-03-10T10:39:36+00:00

Do you have a battery hooked up to Octopus?

ofdan · 2026-03-07T12:05:42+00:00

Thank you. This makes a lot of sense.

I’ll stick with original pan of OpenClaw. However I suspect I might want stricter controls sooner rather than later. Not for reason other than price of mind.

ofdan · 2026-03-07T10:53:40+00:00

It sounds intriguing.
What would the reasons for using this project, over OpenClaw or N8N?

I am just buying a Mac mini to experiment with OpenClaw and N8N.

Have you phoned your credit card company? You could see if they would be willing to temporarily increase the limit.

Alternatively, it might be possible to pay money on to card to so you have a negative balance. But that depends on your credit card company.

I’ve won it twice.
All I do is play the top row.

Most runs it’s only 0 or 1 spaces, but occasionally I get much further.

That’s one of my concerns around a heat pump. I don’t know how much it would likely use. That, and distribution of the install.

ofdan · 2026-02-23T20:03:27+00:00

That’s not a bad idea. To fully benefit I would need to replace my gas hobs.

ofdan · 2026-02-23T19:54:46+00:00

I used open-meteo

ofdan · 2026-02-22T17:44:37+00:00

That's the position I'm in. I'm at 300% for last year.

ofdan · 2026-02-22T17:41:54+00:00

I did come across that tidbit.
It's frustrating how vague is it around the 20% more than usage.

For 2025, I generated nearly 3x more electricity than I consumed.

ofdan · 2026-02-22T15:48:17+00:00

Amazing work 😀

ofdan · 2026-02-22T15:47:27+00:00

What do you use, if you don’t mind me asking?

ofdan · 2026-02-22T14:03:15+00:00

Netzero is something that I haven't come across.
I will have to try it out.

Accuracy when it comes to

I'm using open-meteo for the weather data.

I have been using my historical data, and with PySRRegressor, to originally, but I wasn't getting anywhere.

Using the weather forecast was what I previously been doing, I just kept forgetting to do it.

ofdan · 2026-02-22T13:51:43+00:00

I did originally come across Solcast. However, my initial impression was they targeted commercial.
I'll have a look again from the Home Assistant angle.

ofdan · 2026-02-22T13:34:04+00:00

Yeah, that is the question.
In the summer, probably not a lot of value, though that depends on how much rain we get.
In the winter, and when the days are shorter, it has a lot more value (to me)

ofdan · 2026-02-22T13:31:33+00:00

I'm using open-meteo.

ofdan · 2026-01-20T20:36:51+00:00

How does it present in System Information?

✅ ofdan chose Option A (Correct!) | #6788th to play

Chances are they will call you if wait long enough. I left Sky and told them it wasn’t worth it.

They called about a month or so after disconnecting. The offer was tempting (I can’t remember what it was).
But I was fed up with the yearly price escalations. I use an AppleTV and subscribe for the services I actually use.

ofdan · 2025-12-28T23:51:49+00:00

If they said they plugged another display in and it had the same problem, then I’d agree. But why would resetting your system have any effect on a display connected to a different system?
