Make It The Worst $44bn Ever Spent

This is my current position on staying with Twitter for the moment:

i was on tumblr when yahoo had to sell it for $3 million after buying it for $1.1 billion. we were all a little bit responsible for losing yahoo a billion dollars. and with that type of collective effort, i believe we here on twitter can lose elon musk even more

(I have reactivated @carsondial@mastodon.social from a four-year slumber in case it’s needed, but in the meantime, I’m going down with the ship with the band playing on as the water rushes on-board)

We have solar panels! 18 of them! Which means, for the next week, I am going to be that unbearable person that messages to say “oh, the panels have generated 50% of my power needs today!” as I keep logging into the metrics panel to see how the stats are going. I promise the novelty should subside by around Wednesday or thereabouts. At least until I figure out the API access to generate all sorts of graphs from the raw data!

It really feels like the year has already run out of steam. Two weeks until Thanksgiving, after which I have two more weeks and then I’m back home in the UK for most of December. There’s not a lot of time to do all the things we need to do…
