Want to switch?

[-] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I wish that was ours...

[-] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Yep. And they are talking about a couple more price hikes next year. Significant ones.

[-] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Yes. There was talk locally for local government to take control of the power but it's just talk..

It gets over 110 where I live in the summer...so air conditioning can make it very expensive.

Mostly just that they can. It's more expensive per tier actually.

Take a look, this is the old pricing. They just voted to up it again.

There's legislation that is moving along to charge people with solar because...idk.

I think at max 200w? It runs a collection of fedi/self service stuff.

I also run a pi with a couple of apps on a pi 3 that sips power.

It's a legitimate issue because it's 50+ cents per killowat hour where I live so power is very expensive...

Plus the forks are not on GitHub and other copies.

The mastodon developers are us.

It's open source so yeah...my PRS are part of the community. And so are yours. And projects like GoToSocial make it seemless if someone wants to implement the same protocol in a slightly different way.

I created a solution...with a pi 4 but it just doesn't seem to work very well. OCR is very finicky and while I was able to get pytesseract to pull the images off of a webcam, the numbers that get returned are very wrong. It looks like they only allow businesses to pull the powermeter data if I am reading this right: https://www.pge.com/en/save-energy-and-money/energy-saving-programs/smartmeter.html

My rate has increased 6 times this year, so power is very expensive here: 50c per KWH...on the lowest consumption rate. I need to figure out how to cut back or get solar panels. But I want to see in near real time how much energy we are using.

Wow this might be an end of an era. Crazy. The wp community has been around for a large part of my stay on the Internet. Wild.

This video kept getting copyright striked on a small creator. So ifixit decided to throw it onto their channel.
