Here for Elixir (ex-Go if err != nil nightmares) and Home Assistant. Happy to waste a week getting my boiler’s return flow temperature with ESPHome for no actionable use whatsoever.

Great to speak at the @energy-uk.org.uk conference just now, about the tenuous relationship between many media headlines & reality

Here's a taster

Recommendations for static site generators in Elixir? I’d love to reuse my existing components but I don’t need a full Phoenix app.

TIL I can just add a `has_one` relationship and @ash-hq.org will just give me one of the latest one.
Y'all knew about this and I'm late to the party?

Thank goodness for dual rate tariffs. But maybe I need a bigger battery

Heat geeks: how do I fix my boiler cycling constantly? I can't seem to get the return temp lower. Pump is on its minimum setting. All living areas are wet UFH (at 45degs) on 24/7 at same temp (19), then bedrooms are rads which are 24/7 but setback in day (16).

Nx/Explorer/Livebook folks, how do I do some simple stats stuff like t-tests or Chi2? I've found Scholar for regression.

BOOM *another* GB wind generation record! (I'll never get tired of this, sorry not sorry)

NESO has just confirmed that this morning at 3.30am wind generation reached 22.54 GW

I wrote down the steps to deploy a Phoenix app using Kamal to Digital Ocean from memory:

This isn't an official blog post because I haven't had the time to verify these steps myself yet. Also, I want to add how to deploy Postgres as well. Full post soon! #ElixirLang

trying out explorer with livebook to break out my R comfort zone. pleasantly tidyverse-esque. aside from dark mode I think this might be *it*.

Are there any Zigbee alternatives to the Shelly Pro series? Basically vaguely robust DIN rail mounted relays. #homeassistant #esphome

I originally avoided Kamal because I didn’t want to install Docker Desktop on Mac locally. It was so slow. Orbstack has changed that. Now a convert.

Any recommendations on ergo low profile, mech boards? I moved from a Planck back to the Magic Keyboard but want to try a split. I saw the Totem by Geist, and it might be leading the contenders to try out! #mechanicalkeyboards

Replaced Dokku with Kamal (simplified for 2.0) to deploy a Phoenix Liveview app after some odd VM lock-ups. Dokku is excellent. But now that I've tinkered, Kamal is also excellent. And you can get away with smaller VMs. #ElixirLang
