The book Here Comes the Sun by Bill McKibben is a really great read on the changing economics of solar. It came out August 2025 so its fairly up to date too.
Gone through everything I can find, but nothing has made a difference for months now. Would love to hear any thoughts people have that aren't the usual checklist items.
Good news is I still get some visitors through Kagi, DDG, and Bing.
Author here. I have a big backlog of posts, but I did this one first because I was trying to cram an explanation of BLE beacons into the project post.
> Is there something like war-driving for BLE Beacons?
Yup, that essentially what Neostumbler is! If you have an Android device go check it out.
My hope for the project is to make a little embedded device I can use, so I don't have to drain my phones battery. Also because it's fun to learn about a new topic.

I _think_ this follows the rules of conduct for HN but let me know, I recently brained dumped about the following on my blog about the general experience setting up GrapheneOS: https://blog.matthewbrunelle.com/i-picked-a-really-weird-tim...
This is really cool. I knew there was a policy on titles for submissions but not that there is also an automated process. Do you know if it's documented anywhere or are the details intentionally keep a mystery?

One point point was making custom lambas to spin up/down the DB and everything that was needed to use it (a NAT on EC2, and an elastic IP since the default NAT aww provides is pricey). The bot only needs to run for an hour on weekdays so there's no point keeping everything running 24/7. Excited to try replacing all of that with this!
