I can’t wait for this. I’ve gone down a few rabbit holes looking into solar and battery storage, and even just battery storage by itself to replace the generator we have for when power is out and/or to offset peak use time rates. But batteries are really expensive and I’ve already got a hundred kilowatt hours sitting in my garage.

Would love to have seen OpenPilot form Comma on this list to how it compared.

I could never get hardware accelerated video working with Firefox on my Linux laptop, and Google Meet (used for work) doesn’t work well ( but I guess I blame Google for that).

I don’t know about natively, but I’ve played both FFXIV and EVE Online in Linux in the past, and they ran well, but it’s been a little bit.

Yeah, I like overwatch, have gotten my money’s worth from it and the steam integration makes it so much easier to run on Linux, so I’m happy with it.

I would love a suggestion for a ups that could tolerate running off my generator when the power is out for extended periods, anyone have a decently priced recommendation?

Basically I get 30 minutes to an hour after they’re in bed and that’s about it :-(

Thanks for all of the suggestions!

Right now our guidance is that each developer is given a namespace and a helm chart to install and the wording is such that developers wouldn’t think of it as an ephemeral resource (ie. people have their helm installation up for months, and periodically upgrade it).

It would be nice to have user’s do a fresh install each time they “start” working, and have some way to automatically remove helm installations after a time period, but we do have times where it’s nice to have a longer-lived env because you’d working within some accumulated state.

Maybe there’s something to automatically scaling down workloads on a cadence or after a certain time period, but it would be challenging to figure out the triggers for that.
