- Comment on Solar farms are booming in the US and putting thousands of hungry sheep to work 4 hours ago:
That only helps for a while and is quite expensive at utility scale installations. In addition, there are studies that vegetation helps keeping the underside of the solar panels cooler and thus increases the efficiency by a small percentage.

done
- Comment on In numbers: The Iberian Peninsula's exceptionally clean electricity mix 2 days ago:
It sure helped that due to the geographical location it was never very practical to put pipelines there.
- Comment on Forgejo v10.0 is available [git] 3 days ago:
Gogs is what became Gitea, is what became Forgejo. The fork history is a bit complicated.
But if Gogs works for you, no need to change.

Especially ironic to install a backseat for a second person on a scooter with such a low weight limit.

- Comment on Norway on track to be first to go all-electric 6 days ago:
They have not stopped exporting fossile fuels and to my knowledge at least they also don’t plan to do so in the near future.
- Comment on Norway on track to be first to go all-electric 6 days ago:
While I mostly agree with your argument, the personal attacks are both unecessary and against our site rules.
- Comment on KaraDAV release 0.6.0 [webdav] 1 week ago:
Yes it is a general purpose WebDAV server and should work with Zotero. I have not tried it with Zotero specifically, but I use it with several other apps that only offer normal WebDAV support such as Floccus for bookmarks syncing.
Nextcloud uses Webdav internally, but especially the Nextcloud apps expect a lot of additional non-standard extensions to WebDAV so that they don’t work with normal WebDAV servers. KaraDAV has reverse-engineered most of these extensions and thus the official Nextcloud Android and Desktop apps accept it as if it was a real Nextcloud. It is hovever limited to the file sync feature of Nextcloud, no calendars and such.
- Comment on Renewables supply 71% of Portugal’s electricity in 2024, led by solar 1 week ago:
You are missing the point. Feed-in was effectively forbidden in Portugal and even the brand new change in regulation is still a huge bureocratic barrier for minimal possible income (low double digit per month) that the typical home PV owner could realistically expect.
- Comment on KaraDAV release 0.6.0 [webdav] 1 week ago:
Prosody is a XMPP server and not a WebDAV server though.

- Comment on Setting up SSL for Lemmy over Cloudflare Tunnel using Nginx Proxy Manager 1 week ago:
You are probably better of switching to a better ISP or renting a VPS in that case.
- Comment on Setting up SSL for Lemmy over Cloudflare Tunnel using Nginx Proxy Manager 1 week ago:
Have you tried running it without the cloudflare tunnel? Seems like an unnecessary extra complication.
As for NPM… I never used it, but Lemmy has a rather complex Nginx setup that probably can’t be acuratly mapped with a simplistic UI like that.

Thanks for the link. I’ll have a closer look at this.
- Comment on Renewables supply 71% of Portugal’s electricity in 2024, led by solar 2 weeks ago:
Wind tends to happen when there is a lack of sun, and hydro in a country as dry as Portugal is better kept in reserve when there is enough sun, so yes you can turn it on when there is a temporary lack of sun.
- Comment on Renewables supply 71% of Portugal’s electricity in 2024, led by solar 2 weeks ago:
If you had read the article you would know that these are already largely covered by hydro and wind power and not fossil fuels in Portugal.
The only part that is unusually small (but growing quickly) compared to similar EU countries is PV.
- Comment on Renewables supply 71% of Portugal’s electricity in 2024, led by solar 2 weeks ago:
Well, at least it’s better than in Spain /s
- Comment on Renewables supply 71% of Portugal’s electricity in 2024, led by solar 2 weeks ago:
There is also such things as other power sources and demand variations 🤷♂️ Very few people run their electric stoves at 2am.
Look, this is not rocket science. It works well in other EU countries. No one claimed that PV could cover 100% of the electricity demand without storage.
- Comment on Renewables supply 71% of Portugal’s electricity in 2024, led by solar 2 weeks ago:
No sun in Portugal? Maybe in rainy Porto.
- Comment on Renewables supply 71% of Portugal’s electricity in 2024, led by solar 2 weeks ago:
I am talking about feed-in from home users, which would work largely without storage if it was allowed to feed the excess into the grid during the day (like it is posdible in most other EU countries).
But due to bureocratic hurdles this is basically not allowed in Portugal and the thus required in-home batteries are largely unaffordable by the relatively low income households here.
- Comment on Renewables supply 71% of Portugal’s electricity in 2024, led by solar 2 weeks ago:
Yet PV is artificially held back by very unfavourable feed-in regulation. Really a pity as the potential is so high.
- Comment on Solar powered server rack 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, running it like that here. Works fine for the most part, except that the hybrid inverter that I bought advertised “UPS” mode, but it doesn’t actually switch fast enough to avoid also adding a proper UPS.
It sounds a bit strange as it does actually run off the battery all the time (unless below the minimum charge limit, when it seamlessly switches to grid power automatically), but due to legal requirements it needs to switch to another supply mode when the grid power fails and this switch is not entirely seamless on my inverter.

Active enough 🤷♂️
- Comment on What are your Homelab goals for 2025? 2 weeks ago:
Rebuilding my main router to work with 10gbe fiber that recently became available here. Although it is a tad expensive, so I am not actually sure yet if I will upgrade my contract.
- Comment on Potential Decentralized Fediverse Alternative to Ko-fi, Patreon, etc.? 2 weeks ago:
It could be done with GNU Taler. There is even some NLnet funded grants for open-source projects to integrate it.
The fediverse app would need to implement a relatively basic frontend and someone would need to host a so called merchant backend that multiple people could share to collect funds.
The main show stopper is the final bank integration, but it looks like there will be some options in the EU at least starting mid of 2025. Basically you will be able to make a SEPA bank transfer to charge your GNU Taler wallet (you can use an open-source mobile app or a browser plugin for that) and then you can use these funds to make payments and donations.
