That is the case only if you want to give your surplus back to the grid. If you avoid that, you are only limited to a maximum power of 20kW of solar panels installed.

Re:The coronavirus pandemic has changed our sleep on Wednesday July 15, 2020 @03:04PM (#23850081)

I don't know why, at least consciously, but I've started to sleep less with the lockdown (italian here): from ~8hrs to ~6hrs, more or less, waking up fresh&ready. I've also been more energic: I started running and started being more consistent with the weight training, sometimes both in the same day. Also lost 6Kg in the last 4 months!

But work has been the same: no increase or loss in productivity. Lockdown forced WFH, but I used to WFH for years. The only difference is that in the last 10 months I've been going to the office daily because of a new job, enjoyed the atmosphere and the colleagues. And because it was only an 8 minutes commute.

I never read about it here on hn but I used Cardboardfish.com in a couple of projects. The API is similar to the Clickatell's (they are all pretty the same) but I found most of routes to be cheaper.

I'm no a meta-fanboy, believe me. But a real fanboy would have written that comment too.

What about an Acer Aspire Revo 1600 to use like a server and also as a mediacenter connected to the bigscreen tv? 16-20W idle.

I often think about that many times. But I believe the best solution is to get in touch for a collaboration.
