Well, it's a current hot topic, since it's clearly imposed for reasons clearly against worker's interests and not direct interest of the companies they work for. So... It's natural to find many discussions who end up tou

That's not the point, is not a matter of frequency, how many miles or so, it's a matter of WHY showing up in a office if your work could be done from remote, even in the company jet, reading their news? Why having an office at all

Having jets contrary to many believes it's not a bad thing, using it for stupid thing is. If you need to travel, for instance to expect a new remote production site, a potential acquisition, getting to know well something up somewhere

[not OP] I suppose because any verticistic org can be sustainable for long. To have a resilient enterprise you need value spread across the entire pyramid, if not what happen when a CEO change mind or die suddenly? Beside that, why travel t

The main issue today is hw support and power saving: IllumOS/OmniOS, FreeBSD could barely run on modern hw and even if they run they tend con consume much more electricity than GNU/Linux. Beside that instead of becoming fool with

HA is a hell of YAML and more and more things doable only from the WebUI, this means you can't nor automate nor document your setup, so you can't replicate it. It's a common issue in modern software: devs are so inhabited to

I'm still on HA since as you I have to find a viable alternative, the saddest thing is how many, dev included, do not understand the above rant, do not even have a damn idea what we are talking about...

I've pip-install it in my homeserver (a small celeron with enough ram and storage) BUT I have a note to all HA users and devs: why the hell keep insisting on the WebUI for configuring, it's NOT reproducible nor simple. Oh, of cour

I follow your point a bit: I do hate not owning the vehicle, because that's is, newer cars are not of their formal owner but of the OEM. Nevertheless most people do not care, they do not even understand the difference between something

Well, you miss the point: we do not have much storage because it last way too little at certain daily load. It's simply way to costly so far to have a nation-wide grid full of renewables, while we can make p.v. grow at small scale, for

The problem is simply this https://asia.nikkei.com/content/1f9ed40b4b44745e1a39fafaf94b... here in EU the same car cost a bit less than 40.000€. The world is globalized enough people know the prices, you can't sel

I notice the wrong focus: how much such storage cost vs how much it will been able to run? My slowly discharged home battery have a declared loos of 5% in ~3 years and I discharge only 10%/day normally. My car SOH (NMC though), if true

As you might see from comment-less downvotes it's unpopular to state the truth. Too many do not accept a simple things: WEF and co want just power, the 99% of slaves, as any kind of nazi, they are not "liberal", they are just

It doesn't work like that. The California failure is a good example. So far energy storage can just do a day-to-day backup for homes and some non-energy-intensive business activities, for others just few hours. No more. At grid scale s

The issues for p.v. are mainly two: - one is speculation, because yes panels get cheaper, so inverters and batteries, but prices to the customers AUGMENT more and more, and current prices for private, domestic p.v., at least in the EU, it&#
