I’m on an energy saving kick.
So far this month between the hours of midnight and 8am we are averaging 1.2kWh per hour of use.
I can only account for a max of 400Wh/hr and even that is a high estimate.

No ac on. All computers shutdown.
The only thing running is about 200w of network gear, refrigerator and freezer. And some phone chargers.

Something is drawing power that shouldn’t be 🧐

@notsle I love this. I've been doing some investigating of my own. I'm measuring the fridges, network gear, desktops (mine and husband's with all our electronics) and have an estimate of the lights, but I still have about 400W of unaccounted usage overnight

@JohnJBurnsIII @notsle Our house was built in 1950, the electrical has been decently upgraded, but most of the house has no neutral wires for example.

I have an Emporia Vue that I need to install on my main panel and start monitoring circuits.

And I was wrong, my unaccounted power is more like 100W. Overnight, it's around 0.11 kWh.

The higher usage of unaccounted power are things like the Dishwasher, Convection Oven, Coffee Maker, and other lights.

@JohnJBurnsIII @notsle the blue spike? That's the hot tub heating the water when the Super Off Peak rate starts at midnight :)

The 1 PM spike is probably the electric convection oven which I don't have on a measured circuit.

@JohnJBurnsIII @notsle yeah, and with no attic or basement/crawl space, redoing electrical would require tearing out all drywall and that's just not worth it lol

@JohnJBurnsIII @notsle It's definitely DIY, especially since I don't plan on putting the clamps on the service wires (I already have a Solar system that is measuring this).

I installed it on my office subpanel to test it, just haven't tried it on the main panel. Had to order some extra clamps.

I flashed mine with ESPHome, so it doesn't depend on the Emporia cloud

I love that I'm being sent the news that the Death Becomes Her musical is going to Broadway in the fall. Now we need a NYC trip, @socalgecko when we going?

Well, definitely won’t be renewing this SiriusXM subscription after our free trial. What is this bullshit “U.S. Music Royalty Fee”? Like sorry you have to pay for the music you play ON YOUR SATELLITE MUSIC SERVICE???

@motoridersd@pug.ninja avatar

@john wow. That's how much Sirius XM costs these days?? And it still sounds awful doesn't it? I mean, better than FM but not as good as streaming from your phone.

So this is the place in Doyle, Calif, that I first stopped to photograph the aurora. I could easily see the vertical column structures while driving down the highway! I didn't stay long because some residents turned on a bunch of lights & came out with barking dogs &c. I moved to a spot further away. Wish I could have stayed because the railroad people were assembling the train & I may have captured some interesting lights of moving trains.

I had missed that version 2.0 of came out recently. I tried it a while ago, and I don't think it was a 2.0 beta. This new version looks very good, I shall try it out and see how it works.

It can do a radio station based on a track, something PlexAmp struggles to do.

Oh, but just as I was typing this out I ran into a bug I had previously where the next song starts before the current one finishes properly.

motoridersd,

The issue last time was that apparently FLAC over WiFi was causing drops and was playing the next song. I had changed the codec to AAC, but they have removed this setting in the latest version. Found a github issue that says

"As MA is designed with high quality playback in mind that option was removed. If your problem is bandwidth related then you need to improve your wifi coverage."

Which is unacceptable. I have 5 Ghz coverage and plenty of bandwidth and stable connections.

5 lbs of my favorite beans from a local shop 🙊

motoridersd,
@motoridersd@pug.ninja avatar

@alabut bird rock has always been too far, Dark Horse has been more local to me. What I like is that they have a lot of lighter roast beans, I like fruitier coffee, and they usually deliver.

This has been my favorite bean and it coincidentally is from where I grew up

WAGGG ON is getting new shocks and all related suspension rubber pieces. If I had the space for it, I'd probably try to do it myself but I'm having my local independent shop do it instead.

Finally checked out the first episode of Acapulco. I had forgotten about this show. I like Eugenio Derbez and I really liked Enrique Arrizon. My favorite part about this pilot was the Spanish spoken by the actors is Mexican Spanish, from the accent (usually very neutral compared to other accents) to the use of expressions and lingo unique to México.

The template card/bar card dashboard I've been using to display my current power consumption broke after a recent update.

I got the code from the community. I updated the color codes from a very long # code (much longer than what HEX would be), and used RGB. Colors are back, but they are muted and the bar isn't resizing as it used to.

Asked about it on the thread where the original code came from, hopefully there's an answer

Ah shit. Today was the only day the 35th anniversary showing of Steel Magnolias was in theaters. I missed it 😭

Growing up I had an Atari 2600 and an NES, but after that I had a PC to play games on. That means I don't have a nostalgic connection to a lot of emulated games and when I try to find a retro game to play, I have a hard time dedicating time to them.

I end up playing Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max or Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis again, because those were the games I spent the most time with.
