fracarma··on Britain today generating 90%+ of electricity from renewables
I second this. I live in Spain and put solar panels on my roof. I have no batteries. In the last 2 years, the price of the energy returned to the grid has been 0 or even negative. Therefore I started running automation using Homeassistant and I'm stuck at appliances that cannot be simply turned on and off with a power switch (i.e. my freezer, the AC, washing machine etc). If someone could produce a refrigerator that I can control via an open protocol(i.e. ZigBee) it would be awesome!

I've been using esphome to flash a couple of boards today, suddenly it gives me different and inconsistent errors: don't resolve address, bad certificate, even a message that says the IP has been blocked because of some pirate activities that involves La Liga. Is it just me?
fracarma··on How a flawed idea is teaching kids to be poor readers (2019)
This was an incredible interesting read, thanks for sharing. I actually fear that this is a generalized problem with subjects in school, it's not math alone that suffers from this. I remember being asked to learn by hearth poems that I didn't even like, making me hating poetry in general. Or even art, just a bunch of names and artworks to learn and memorize characteristics and whatnot. I enjoyed math and physics, but I realize now it was because I was good with algebraic manipulation rather than proper understanding. And I rather struggled later at University studying physics indeed.
