Quick write up on now to make use of Octopus Power-ups using a Solis hybrid inverter combo. https://userbag.co.uk/general/make-use-of-octopus-power-ups-using-a-solis-hybrid-inverter/ #octopus #solis #powerup #solar

Imagine the more challenging aspect would be to curate the replies/interactions in to one view, but again given the platforms are both open very doable.

Interested to know what other platforms are about? I guess meta's "threads" which I've yet to try.

I've pretty much stopped using twitter/x/whatever elon wants to call it, so am mostly posting here. Both mastodon & blue sky (AT protocol) have reasonably open API's so suspect it won't be long to some basic tooling starts coming out. A basic auto reposted should be pretty simple I imagine.

Guess the question is, does he actually need to trademark/patent it? Sure anyone else can just use it, but I wonder if that actually ends up as a defence given I believe meta already have a trademark on x for the purposes social media?

Home assistant dashboard card showing my power use. Displays 5.27kw of solar generation, with 2.32 kw being exported to the grid, 1.93 kw charging the battery and 1.02kw of consumption. The battery is at 80% charge.

Finally, some sunlight! #solar #home-assistant

Think my next step is going to be working out how to do some better device tracking & work out where I'm using it all. https://github.com/bramstroker/homeassistant-powercalc detects most my lights, so interesting to see how custom devices work.

Curious what custom feeds are popular? Here's a list of feeds from Skyfeed, with how often they've been loaded, scrolled, and refreshed: https://stats.skyfeed.me/

The trick is to grab them all as if they are Pokémon.

Hi @liamgh.bsky.social @awerlu.bsky.social !

As much as I'm not a fan of Elon, I do wonder if he fluked in to a pretty interesting idea with the 𝕏 logo being an actual unicode character. Its now the only social media with its own emoji on every PC. I also wonder if a Unicode character can be trademarked which may avoid the fun with MS/meta?

Since getting my new solar system installed, watching the figures in home assistant has become slightly addictive... Was clearly a good time for the UK weather to decide summer = rain/clouds.

Thanks autocorrect, "box" makes much more sense than "void" ಠ_ಠ

Posting random statements into the box reminds me of my early days on Twitter. The difference is I used to post things, not that anyone was listening :p

The distinction of companies managing your time as a resource feels much more comfortable to me than some of the more people centric terms, which to me sometimes verge on making it sound like they manage your whole being. Don't know if I'm alone in this view?

I've never really understood the hate for the term "human resources". Companies buy the "resource" of your time/expertise and spend it on the activities that it wants completed.

Kicking off with the obligatory "hello world" post.
