Also, as a side note:

Reducing the need for electricity is a very good goal, in general. If you think about systems outside the literal box that most of us modern idiots have gotten ourselves into, you can find many ways to overcome the un-optimized lifestyle that most of us live. I don't want to build a direct replacement for most of the systems of a modern house, since, they are designed to be barely single use. I'm thinking about building for many generations.

DC LED wiring is cool. It can technically be more efficient due to not having to do double conversions (DC from panels to battery to AC through an inverter, back to DC in the bulb), but...

No one should be doing 12V storage in a house. (Yes, that's a strong opinion.) Minimum: nominal 48V systems. Copper is too expensive and also most 48V system stuff is significantly more efficient and can be less expensive per watt. You'd at least need one DC to DC converter for the lighting, and unless you get something that's not bottom of the barrel, it might not be any more efficient than using regular bulbs via 120V.

Is your roof sturdy enough for solar?

Is your roof facing a good direction for solar?

Can you put enough panels on your roof to either eliminate or very significantly reduce your electric bill?

Are you concerned about power outages? (if so, you'll need storage, and storage costs waaaaaaay more than panels.)

Are you planning to sell back to the utility? If so, do you know the laws on how much you can sell back and the rates you can expect to get? Grid-interactive systems cost 3-10x more than off-grid systems.

If you care... What are local codes for solar? There are some legit concerns for the safety of any firefighters and some of the new code stuff is much safer all around, even for you if you ever need to get up on the roof for something.

Good morning, #nostriches!

The sun is coming up. Tea is steeping. I woke up under a wool blanket staving off the deliciously refreshing chill from the windows being open all night. I've recorded the lowest weight I've been in probably most of a decade. I have a few things to do today that I'd rather not have to do but are necessary. I have other things I want to do that may not be necessary but will be good for my entire being.

Whatever you do today, make progress on something, even if it's just a tiny bit, that will last longer than your expected life span.

It's just helps you to stay on the right path and not have compromises

I'm the type of person who sees things in only black or white. There's nothing in between! What about you?

Was compelled to make this after some messages I received today

Since im on #Nostr, im trying to be wholecoiner hard af, since im working 12/12 long/short to make it fast as possible, but with this actual btc price i will need to do my shit shift job for next 3 years and i do not involved cost of living (rent,food) into this count.

When i were thinking what i could do as a sidejob, i got a lot of ideas that can't be realized in my state for now yet, bcs of illegality, but then that idea came.

We as family have kinda big free lands that are not used for now and need's to be maintained (fields, woods) and i got an idea what to do with it.

What if i tell you that 5000sats = 1 real tree in Bitcoin forest, will be there interest to it?

When it goes bigger, then we can do smthn like Ostrich/Nostr Lake

Good morning, Nostr.

#Coffeechain #Touchgrass

The whole #coffee culture seems scammy and toxic to me. Endless discussions on which overpriced coffee is best, and people who prefer coffee from one store accuse others of being tasteless ignorant idiots. If Starbucks really served horrible coffee, why are they still in business? I don't order from Starbucks (for a different reason) but their coffee was alright.

#coffeechain

Gm #nostriches. Having an overpriced latte in London rn. Thinking about how the marginal cost of making a cup of coffee will trend to zero under a #BitcoinStandard. I suspect the coffee will taste better when that day comes. #coffeechain
