  • I went for cheap, and syored away. The battery sits at the bottom of the stilt legged coup with a screwed on door to keep water and chickens out. Panel just sits on the roof. I set this all up about 2mo before wyzecam with batteries were announced. Been running ever since. This time of year this area is always cloud covered, and limited daylight. The panel is an older one, not quite as efficient as the one that runs my daytime radiator fans in the hoopouse (no battery, just a 10in and 8in radiator fan that sound like jet engines on full sunny days. I tried the camp ceiling fans but they kept burning out). Fans are mostly to help prevent mold in that one, and keep heat even during summer.



  • Gonna add 100w solar panel works great (just not this time of year, mine picks back up around February), and get a gel battery 100ah or more. Lead doesn’t cycle as much and doesn’t like cold. A cheap charge controller with usb is all you need to power most cameras (I run two wyzecams with the panel on the top of my chicken coop to watch my driveway) Just know this time of year lacks sunlight, I might get 2 to 5 hours this time of year, with 24h later in the year.


  • Tasker can do pretty much anything, so most things are based around need and novelty. I have a gps profile with a view/store/retrieve car location for parking lots, a profile to send my location via text, pretyped text messages to my wife, light control for my phone, photo control for my phone, find my phone by audio file and volume, music playlists, a stupid script that takes my feelings over the day on a 1 to 10 scale and based on the avg at the end of the day plays a particular song to meet that mood, a password generator that stores and kinda encrypts via a Caesarian style translation to a txt file, and then decrypts and retrieves the password (I still manualy edit the text to put in titles for the passwords) Most of my tasker scripts are already automated so there isn’t as much need for manual control.



  • I waited until I got my duo whilst my Steel was on a 2 day battery cycle. As soon as I got the watch it dropped to 16 hours. I finally replaced the battery, to find that I really needed a new zebra strip, too. 12 days later I got a new strip and my Steel is running for 7 days again. I use Mpebble for now, as to my knowledge Cobble doesn’t support many 3rd party apps like Tasker yet (I haven’t tried in a couple of weeks)








  • Point to point network. Fun fact, you can invert an old satellite dish and mount a wifi antenna in place of the LNB and shoot your wifi for a mile or two this way. Back when high speed internet was still rare, hobbyists practiced different ways to extend networks to poorly covered areas. This was one of those ways. Then fiber was run across the country and everyone got their hopes up… to see the telcos say “out of money, sorry, keep using our dsl until we get more handouts to install the last mile.”


  • They’re already influencing the idea with Megan Kelly. It’s amazing to me how they’ve moved the goalposts so far that the general populace are now becoming apologists for so many things they once vehemently condemned. I’m not talking politicians who are projecting. I’m talking regular folks that are allowing outside influence to convince them that abuse is ok. I was raised by bigots. I was taught inequality and mistrust as a child. Thankfully it was never outright hatred, but it could have easily gone there. But pedophilia, that was the vilest of vile, the atrocity that could not stand. Now those same family members would be of the group to most likely defend this, were they alive today.
