fboermanon StarLite 12.5-inch Linux tablet

interesting because I have been running archlinux on a surface pro 7 and it works flawlessly appart from the camera. I use the linux-surface kernel, instructions can be found here: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Installa.... Highly recommend it!

fboermanon Ask HN: Could you share your personal blog here?

https://boerman.dev/

Started couple years ago to practise my writing and analysis skills. I mainly write about energy transition stuff, intersecting with my work at TenneT. I like to analyze stuff as a hobby without the work pressure. In the past I have used blog posts internally at TenneT as well if something came up that was similar to a post haha. Traffic is mainly driven by summarizing and linking to a post on linkedin.

this is no longer true anymore since brexit. Electricity on spot market no longer has the same price in the whole country, it depends on which exchange you trade. this has been forbidden in the EU for a long time. There are more things that broke after brexit, hence the market coupling algorithm is much less efficient these days for the UK.
