Looks great! I'm a huge fan of (almost) never using a cutting board---that's what the counter is for!

Parent didn't say develop, they said use. 80 acres of forest can be used as open space and not developed at all.

I think the spirit of parent comment was that if you have 80 acres of forest, but you live somewhere else and never set foot in it...well, maybe that land could be better used/enjoyed.

If you live on/near it, and enjoy it for some purpose other than strictly as an investment, that seems like you're utilizing it.

200MWh is about 1/100 of Little Boy, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Compressed air can get out all at once given the right circumstances.

Storing energy in a way that can go boom is something I'd be a little scared of, were I a nearby resident. I'm sure thermal batteries can have gnarly failure mechanisms but I would way rather live near one of those than a giant compressed air cylinder.

It's ~~turtles~~ next guys all the way down I guess.

Right now the only thing I genuinely feel is missing that would increase my happiness, is an exercise routine.

I'll put in a plug for cycling. You can nerd out over the latest bike gear, restore vintage bikes, or just pay the nice folks at your local bike shop to set you up and focus on the riding, it's up to you!

You can also ride "unplugged," or you can measure speed, cadence, heart rate, even power output (if you spend $$$)---again, something for everyone!

Good luck!

I hate meta as much as the next guy, but according to this they are the #3 organization in terms of kernel contributions, behind only Intel and Red Hat...

I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you're gonna hear about it!

13, without the pillow, is kinda how babies/toddlers sometimes sleep (once they can roll over).

Yeah, one of the issues I was having with running VPN on router is that you need a somewhat beefy router if you want to use your full bandwidth---my router maxes out at about 90Mbps with WireGuard, even though it can NAT around 1Gbps (which is our service).

I implemented two workarounds, one was to use my access point as a VPN router since it had a beefier CPU, and the other was to just use an ARM SBC with Linux to handle that task. (I ended up with the latter, as the former ended up maxing out at around 400Mbps, and introduced some additional headaches.)
