As you might (or might not) know, I’m the author of a tool called jSunnyReports. It’s a fairly dumb tool. It: Loads cache files Reads new and changed inverterdata Parses everything Writes JSON Writes HTML Saves the cache …and that’s it. It’s not elegant. Probably not even clean code by modern standards. But I did…
Saving the lifespan of an Intel 660p SSD
Our current server is over five years old. After several upgrades in the past couple of years, another ultimate upgrade is inbound. More on that later. This week, I got curious about the wear and tear on one of the most-used drives in this host: a 1TB Intel 660p QLC NVMe SSD. Five years ago,…
Dear UK Cabinet: Criminals Don’t Use iCloud
But thanks for breaking privacy for the rest of us. This morning I came across a story about the UK government demanding a backdoor into iCloud — not just for UK users, but globally. The plan was dropped, not because it was a bad idea, but because the US threatened higher import tariffs. Not ethics….

Tweakers Weight Loss Challenge #43 has started today. I had a bit of a disrupted week — spent two days in a bed and breakfast instead of being at home. Different environment, no way to properly track my diet, and ridiculously hot weather during that time. But I still lost weight! Yay! Weight: 107.1kg (-0.2kg)…
Note to self: Technical debt
I’m a nerd. Yeah, I admit it. Most of my readers probably know packages like Home Assistant and Domoticz… right? Well. Because I can… I wrote my own whole damn domotica-based system from scratch. Yes. You read that correctly. I wrote my own whole damn domotica system. From. Scratch. YEP 😛 And again — why?…
A blast from the past – Outdoor gaming!
Outdoor gaming? But computers — and their owners — “hate” the outdoors. With all that moisture, dust, and glare, it sounds like a terrible idea. So why do it? Yet I did! Not once, not twice — but more than twenty times. And honestly, I don’t think it’ll ever happen again.
