  1. I'm into food, too, so I want to give a shout-out to this incredible bakery in Las Vegas, FREED'S BAKERY. I walked into the place yesterday before a relative's birthday celebration and couldn't believe my eyes. Amazing bakery and beautiful cake for my cousin. #bakery #food #dessert #cake #icingonthecake #FREEDS #birthday #happy #happybirthday #vegas #lasvegas #travel #fun #entertainment #Books #Bookstodon #shop #sweet #strawberrycake

  2. For those interested in solar energy and home automation…

    I've been running a gadget to heat my domestic water (immersion heater) only with spare power from my solar panels. It's a rather "boutique"-made thingumy by a guy here in Spain using an open design (#freeds). Magic.

    But.

    The gadget has become flaky & needs frequent reboots.

    Conclusion - cheaper and easier to just set a simple time switch to switch on the immersion heater for 2 hours at midday.

  4. @jago @gnarf Ah yes, more interesting variables: electricity pricing & automation. Looks like you have a pretty wild day / night spread on your electricity tariff, there! My tariff is 40¢ day, 20¢ in the small hours & weekends. My #freeds automation for resistive water heating varies the power fed to the heating element according to the excess solar power available. With a heat pump it would need to be either on or off.
