I think you can even do this yourself with some woodworking skills. I wonder though if there are "nice" solar cells for DIY projects or if those "all black" panels are just for larger installations.

They already have those: https://shop.fairphone.com/de/accessories/true-wireless-ster... While I don't see spare parts for those, they claim to be "100% electronic waste neutral". Probably much hard

I think it's more the lack of other analytics data, due to uBlock Origin and a PiHole in my network, that they fall back to those ads. Maybe I'd have some nice ads for cooking supplies if I were to allow tracking, not sure.

YouTubes "first-party ad platform" is delivering some of the worst ads on the whole internet. It's not only the big-boobed characters promoting mobile games, there are (video) ads for pyramid and other "get rich quick&qu

Try to make it a habit and take the pressure out. I've got a recurring calendar entry every two weeks for an hour. That keeps time free to write a post, maybe start drafting a second one. Not every blog entry needs to be a 2000+ words

Adobe also released a project called "Firefly". Not sure if this will be searchable after that. https://www.adobe.com/sensei/generative-ai/firefly.html

I'm not very convinced by the results of this "Auto Linker". I find most of the links in that article are rather useless, linking only to have a link to something. IMHO links should be chosen "wisely", with the inte

You're totally right! As the other comment said not everything is "billable hours" and, speaking for Germany again as a Freelancer, you've got taxes, health insurance etc. so your 16k get down to much, much less pretty f

Consulting, speaking for my line of work, is something like 200 €/hour, web development is around 100 €/hour for larger agencies. That's for Germany.

Are you looking into fixing the drivetrain or the "car stuff" around that? I'd rather not fiddle around with the 400 V system of my EV, but I think most of the other things are still the same.

Where does open source start and end? You can buy almost all parts for the small Gaggia machines online. A complete group costs around 50 Euro, I think, and you can do with that whatever you want. Would you prefer CNC milling it by yourself
