Then let’s get some vehicle-to-grid adoption going and make EVs a net benefit for spreading load better.

We’re getting solar installed very soon, with Enphase micro-inverters. This gets me all kinds of excited. I’m stoked to be getting per-panel metrics, and real keen to shove even more metrics into my Home Assistant.

I had the great honour of seeing John Gustafson give a presentation about unums shortly after he first proposed posits (type III unums). The benefits over floating point arithmetic seemed incredible, and they seemed largely much more simple.

I also got to chat with him about “Gustafson’s Law”, which kinda flips Amdahl’s Law on its head. Parallel computing has long been a bit of an interest for me I was also in my last year of computer science studies then and we were covering similar subjects at the time. I found that timing to be especially amusing.

Excellent! Thank you for the hard work and transparency. It’s great to see.

Awesome work - things seem to be running much more smoothly today.

Do you have anything behind CDN by chance? Looking at the lemmy.world IPs, the server appears to be hosted in Europe and web traffic goes directly there? IPv4 apparently seems to be resolving to a Finland-based address, and IPv6 apparently seems to be resolving to a Germany-based address.

If you put the site behind a CDN, it should significantly reduce your bandwidth requirements and greatly drop the number of requests that need to hit the origin server. CDNs would also make content load faster for people in other parts of the world. I’m in New Zealand, for example, and I’m seeing 300-350 ms latency to lemmy.world currently. If static content such as images could be served via CDN, that would make for a much snappier browsing experience.
