By looking at a 15 EUR meter with a display. If you want a remote reading, use a 30-40 EUR Tasmote. Or a suitable Shelly, if your system is bigger.

I've figured that my ROI time is 2-2.5 years so I don't feel the need to do it daily.

It should be not part of Lemmy's server side code. Actually even integrating current image support is ill advised. It should have been an optional microservice.

There are plenty of third party tools to do that securely, and even cheaper. Putting insecure, leaky shit on your network for the sake of convenience...

People who buy into the Internet of Shit and chinese cloud to do that only have themselves to blame.

All is a good place to find leads for subscribed. Browsing communities seemed to be limited to the instance.

Who in their right mind connects microinverters to the Internet?

10 MUSD boats made from graphite epoxy composite and quite a few tons of lithium batteries. And the support infrastructure. And the sum of activities on the cruise. Plus other stuff people who buy such trinkets engage in.

There are peer reviewed publications quantifying that, with some surprising numbers in them. The golden billion has an outsized footprint, but the elites have a hockey stick shaped contribution distribution there.

Does ecosystem carrying capacity overshoot ring a bell? Individual footprint matters, especially if massively oversized.

That has already happened in the last years.

Engagement metrics are up, that's all that counts.

We are using a Garmin in our Mitsubishi ASX rather than the built-in navi, probably a custom TomTom. Bluetooth is largely useless and buggy.

I would have bought a used Lada if it was just for me.

If it's an EV I'd much prefer an open source platform. No such things, so far.

Doomscrolling used to have a meaning of browsing /r/collapse and /r/collapsescience rather than /r/worldnews

There is also neuroscience!neuroscience@lemmy.world

If you want to have an argument, try using arguments. Quantitative ones, like in https://escholarship.org/uc/energy_ambitions

If you don't want to have a conversation, continue to use empty assertions and slurs. But count me out of that.

Your choice entirely.

That would be sure nice, but the hard numbers of the physical reality say otherwise.

If you think we do have 50 years I recommend to reexamine the data. E.g. https://escholarship.org/uc/energy_ambitions is pretty comprehensive.

Well, we don't even have 50 years. Net energy of oil liquids is projected to peak as early as 2025. So trying to address that by trying to scale up even more volume only makes the energy cliff steeper.

The goals of renewable should be quantitative substitution of fossil primary energy within less than 50 years.

The only current storage technology cheap enough if you happen to have the nice problem of having to curtail renewable production during peak is water electrolysis -- if you also happen to have the natgas storage and distribution infrastructure already in place.

MWh and GWh scale battery infrastructure isn't cheap at all. It will likely take a decade to have affordable 10 kWh scale domestic storage, and it will be most likely sodium, not lithium. 100 kWh scale, which is almost enough for seasonal demand levelling will still take pressurized hydrogen in cylinders.

Adding even 10% of renewables (minus biofuels since fake renewable) to primary energy use of major industrialized countries is by no means easy. Which is why world fossil fraction of primary energy use is nearly a constant.

Garbage reports like that do a lot of damage. Fraction of fossil in the primary energy use is nearly constant, and net zero is merely a greenwashing scam.
