I’m stuck on windows in the IDE of a certain large chip manufacturer for doing embedded DSP. God, I wish I could have any level of customization. But at least it has vim mode.

Still not powerful enough. An autohotkey-based program called bug.n is the closest to what you can get with tiling managers on Linux. But it’s neither easy nor stable…

Touché

Back in University (2010-2013), I lived in a dorm on campus that had internet through the university’s network.

It was extremely cheap and fast (100/100 at equivalent to 3 USD per month), but Internet access was metered with a max of 50 GB / month.

However, access to University resources was not metered, and every student had ssh access to the datacenter.

That -D was a godsend.

T480 is a decent machine. Had one for work (embedded dev) for three years.

I think I need more details: are you planning on running your house completely off-grid from solar, or Install (a set of) outlets that are powered by solar?

I don’t think there is anything blocking that from happening, but what scale are you thinking?

I’m not an electrician, but an electrical engineer, and I bought a complete DIY package with everything. Electrical code here in Denmark then only needs a certified electrician to do the connection to the the grid, which includes submitting the system to the grid operator, also so we can be paid for the surplus production.

If you know how to read the instructions, and plan your work, it’s quite fun, and I’m pretty sure my panels are better secured (likely overkill) and more straight than 80% of the professional installs here, just because we took the time to do it thoroughly.

If you feel have the ability and you have the time, I would highly recommend it. But as another pointed out, try to find a kit with the mounting hardware!
