You should also take a look at snapcast as an open Sonos alternative that can run on raspberry pi. https://github.com/badaix/snapcast

Seems not pessimistic enough to me. Realistically most people would capture on average, while the sun is up, about 100 watts if they covered their car in solar panels. A car needs at least 10 KW to cruise at 60 mph. This means you need to c

Riot is a good solution for simple SPAs if you don't like huge toolchains. It gives you web components and DOM binding and all that, all in a 15 KB package that does all the compilation in a few milliseconds on the client. No configura

Keep seeing this 'delta' word. From context it is basically like 'difference'. But is there a delta between difference and delta?
