We tend to use between 3kWh (vacation/idle power consumption) and around 8kWh per day. If we switched to electric stove, water heater, and heat pump, and add a hot tub, that'd increase substantially. But if we added solar (on our long Todo list...), the battery in the article (60kWh) would probably be able to handle all our storage needs, and it'd fit in he garage (bonus of it can be placed outside/under a deck!). I live in a major city, but I would absolutely love to effectively be off grid.

Exciting stuff

it seems these are touted as being extremely robust/safe, which is of course important for me if it's going to be in/near our house. Storage density not a huge concern, but price is somewhat important

let's hope this sort of thing ticks all the boxes.

And your VPN connection to work knows your endpoint...

Interestingly, there's another way of finding out if your coworker is in the office

just walk over to their desk.

The one I've heard replaces "brains" with "money."

Getting TLS certs will be complicated

I just use Let's Encrypt with a wildcard domain

same certs for public and private facing domains. I'm sure this isn't best practice, but it's mostly just for me so I'm not too worried :)

Yeah I don't expose Jellyfin over the Internet, so it doesn't matter for me, and wouldn't work at all over WAN (unless VPN'd to home network).

Also, it's all reverse proxied, and there's nothing preventing having two Jellyfin hostnames, e.g., jf-local.mydomain.com and jf-public.mydomain.com.

Another fun trick you can play is to use a private IP on your public DNS records. This is useful for Jellyfin on Chromecast for instance

it uses 8.8.8.8 for DNS lookup (and ignores your router settings), so it wants a fully qualified domain name. But it has no problem accessing local hosts, so long as it's from 8.8.8.8's record.

I have set up local DNS entries (with Pi-Hole) to point to my srrver, but I don't know if it possible to get certs for that, since it is not a real domain.

So long as your certs are for your fully qualified domain there's no problem. I do this, as do many people

mydoman.com is fully qualified, but on my own network I override the DNS to the local address. Not a problem at all

DNS is tied to the hostname, not the IP.

I think you need to include energy cost in the preparation stage. Bread requires a hot oven, which is a real amount of electricity

it's close to $0.40/kWh where I live. From this link it says that a bread maker uses only .36kWh, but an electric oven would be more like 1.6kWh. So bakita single loaf of bread, you end up with a not insubstantial fraction of the total cost going to heating the oven.

Of course, many bulk foods require heat, so it gets a little sticky this way. Oats/oatmeal probably wins out here, as you can just soak them overnight.

I always say I have a 1969 Wayne Industries Batmobile. Usually a sheepish, "oh, um, we don't cover that, sorry. click"

Or go full CW, and just transmit source code in binary as dits and dahs. (So long as you document what you're doing it should be legal, though I'm not sure if you should use the CE portion of he band since it's nonstandard...)

My university was pretty zen about this

essentially, "don't use your own access point/router please. But if you do, please talk to your resident (University employed) student IT rep and they can probably help you set it up correctly."
