Rainy Sunday projects continue. A wonderful AMS stacker (AM4xs on makerworld) unit on a cabinet I made years ago nicely organizing my filaments.

This winter storm is making me actually think about installing a whole home backup power source (I know, me and half the US right now).
I already have solar but no battery as my utility company does 1:1 net metering.
Does anyone reading this have any experience in building a grid-tie battery system? Powerwall is an option I guess but I’d like to DIY this thing if I can so I choose when it get charged not an algorithm.

In NC where the sun shines a lot, but electricity from The Grid is cheap what is the ROI on an 8kw solar system?

Having a 3d printer again after a 6+ month hiatus is joy. #3dprinting
My networking tools box is now easily identified in the stack! Simply lovely. -

Living in the UK is just quietly accepting that everything is busy. All the time.
Trains? Busy.
Roads? Busy.
Coffee shop? Busy.At some point you stop being surprised and just accept your fate.
Because what else are you going to do? 🇬🇧

If you could start from scratch with the basics of your homelab infrastructure what would your ideal arch look like?
Which switches would you buy? What would you do for dns? DHCP? Ipam? Hypervisor? Containers? K8s? 2.5gbe? 10gig sfp+? More?

Satisfactory result this morning #f1
The stewards had a chance to manipulate it, and for once, did not.

I still maintain that no sane person should be running k8s in their homelab but I absolutely want a base OS _like_ Talos but without the Kubernetes.
For example, I just upgraded the OS remotely and it was completely painless. More please.
