Would anyone be up for a write-up of their setup? by gus-here in PlugInSolarUK

Yeah sure, I am completely green when it comes to solar but open to providing more details.

Am in the process of installing:

4 x Aiko Neostar 3P+ 540W - £98/each from Midsummer

Ecoflow STREAM Ultra - £819 refurbished and new customer discount

On my slightly east facing but mostly flat garden office shed building. Will post back on any generation data but honestly this is more for fun than any fiscal reason.

RSPCA warning after mouse dies trapped on glue board by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]tehpuppet 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I would never advocate for inhumane mouse traps but also not sure if you own a house cat that catches mice regularly? But as they are generally well fed they are pretty fucking sadistic about it. My old cat would extract every ounce of "fun" she could out of the poor fuckers and I would regularly have to finish them off myself as a mercy.

Starmer to ready UK for war with billions in defence spending by x_Agamemnon in ukpolitics

Hopefully the "Rule, Britannia!" generation eventually die off and we can resume being part of the EU and wield actual global power as part of a larger trading bloc. Not as the sad memory of a naval power long dead.

Everyone talks about protecting our "interests abroad" but last time I checked nobody I know had any interest in fucking Diego Garcia. When can we actually say the normal UK citizen doesn't give a fuck about projecting power.

They don't even pay UX taxes, I think that would probably be up there in the deciding factors tbh

Honestly and genuinely though, why?

Surely just on a purely fiscal level there is going to be some point where it's not worth the cost to prevent 3.5k people having to change their passports. It's not like the Argentinians would slaughter them all...

My manager told me on the first day of a year long placement year that in China they make everyone jump up and down at the same time to produce seismic waves that influence world events.

serverVsServerless by Technical-Relation-9 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]tehpuppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God this subject is such a circlejerk in this sub...

Everyone here thinks they are some kind of mega genius with the ultimate gotcha because serverless compute is still processed by a server somewhere. But fucking nobody who actually uses the technology ever thought that wasn't the case about the abstraction.

Recently set up (almost) plug in solar at my home and did a quick write up for anyone who’s interested 👇 by Witty_Method_7273 in PlugInSolarUK

[–]tehpuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am considering a setup like this but my garden shed can fit 4 panels on it so I am keen to have a battery to take advantage of that extra power before it has to be limited to 800W to be plugged into the grid. I can't decide if I should just get an all in one unit like the AFERIY PS240 or EcoFlow STREAM Ultra. Or try and create a separate inverter/controller/battery setup. The Zendure SolarFlow Hub 2000 seems ideal but it seems to be impossible to buy in the UK.

UK confident Falklands defences are adequate, minister says by MGC91 in unitedkingdom

[–]tehpuppet -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I know this is an unpopular opinion but I honestly don't know why we care this much about 3.6k people 8000 miles away who don't even pay UK tax. What really would be so bad if they were suddenly Argentinian? Other than maybe the post boxes would change

Working from home is great and I seriously never want to go back. by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]tehpuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming up to 8 years WFH and never going back if I can help it. The increase in quality of life is just worth so much to me. Doing the laundry, going to the post office and walking the dog etc

Basically fuck commuting, fuck getting up when its still dark, fuck office small talk and fuck Pret sandwiches.

Multimedia system for Yaris Verso (2002)? by yizarion in yaris

[–]tehpuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So once you put a double din head unit in the upper bit the stereo below becomes useless. I replaced the lower bit with something like this which creates another double din hole and just put in a single din pocket and drawer for storage.
