Just finished: Soul Music by Terry Pratchett (GNU) - 7/8.
Certainly missed a lot of the music history references and may not necessarily understand a lot of the craziness that gets portrayed, but this is certainly of the best Discworld works and I'm astonished I only read this once before.

This one will leave me thinking for a bit… also I feel Reg Shoe‘s story arc needs further exploration between this and Night Watch. 7/8.

Huge potential, #Discworld with steam engines! So many topics only glanced, many felt forced in, and the pacing was completely off.
Stupid Embuggerance. It sadly really started to show here… 2/8.

I may have only read this once so far. Better than I remember, possibly because I’m a bit older, have a kid, and certain themes resonate a little more with me… not one of my favorites, but a solid 5/8 on the #Discworld scale.
Onto Reaper Man! 💀

Well that is just simply not true… but hey, if you start out with nonsense like that, I honestly have better things to do on my Saturday night than engage any further. Have a good one

Meanwhile, this side of the border, I’m still being paid my static feed-in tariff, causing extended and unnecessary strain on the taxpayers purse.
And I do even have the rare German smart meter - but there’s zero incentive for me to act in grid-supportive way!

Monats-Verteilung (Legende im Alt-Text) und Summen hier über den gleichen Zeitraum. 180m2. Verbrauch (inkl. 3 MWh e-Auto) könnte niedriger sein, aber immerhin… Lüftungsanlage mit WRG kommt noch.

Until now I’ve adamantly refused to talk to my tech, but this one got me intrigued, @home-assistant.io. First quick tests are very promising already (with HA Cloud), very well done!

And my individual #energy consumption across my metered devices, also from @home-assistant.io. The un-metered remainder (grey) tells me I should probably install even more shellies (e.g. stove is missing).

Nice, here's my February #energy stats from @home-assistant.io
Spot on doubling the January #solar (233 kWh) for me as well.

🤔 Székelykáposzta?
(Yes, I had to look up a translation for “Szegediner Gulasch“, why do you ask? 🤣)
My preparations so far may be more obvious…

Hmm… let’s see what sort of shenanigans I can get up to with these 🤔 🤩

Solar PV and @octopusenergyde.bsky.social heat tariff optimization are a given… plus weather/temp forecast to optimize COP? Let’s start with that.

Another one finished - Thud!
Somehow remembered the finale to be longer, more drawn out. In the end, everything goes down very quickly and a little too neatly.
