   been fixing up my little local solar harvesting rig since the place i'm moving next month has expensive electricity and i figure since i already have this, i might as well use it and save myself a few bucks
   
   i haven't been using it much here since the grid power is solar anyway
   
   once i get things tweaked a bit i'm pretty sure i can manage running almost all of my devices off of this, despite the limited wattage

     i spent time yesterday tweaking my tiny Athlon 5350 PC, doing some coarse-tuned undervolting and stress testing to try and reduce its power consumption as much as possible. stock, it peaks at about 42w during boot; with my changes closer to 32, and there's definitely room for improvement. that's including the display, which is a small portable one powered off the machine's usb port
     
     that system is running ArcaOS right now and i don't have display blanking or sleep working but i'm going to try to figure out both of those (even if it means writing code and/or doing some low level debugging)
