    I would really rather not be included or excluded based on my genitalia.

    Caution for RV Owners Using Lithium Batteries

    It sounds like a lot of fear mongering to me. This guy owns an electric company, he's done installations, but that doesn't mean he's a chemist. If lithium batteries were such a huge problem Tesla wouldn't still be selling cars. Improper setups, improper equipment, and other human caused errors...

    Civil Asset Forfeiture and the Police

    This fucking terrifies me. And it strengthens my position that I never talk to the police.

    New topic: How much computing power do you need, v/s how much electrical power do you have?

    Most people will not need more than a phone for doing basic videos. But as an example if you follow a lot of YouTube channels you will find that as people post better videos the hardware they use to make them gets more expensive and powerful. Having a larger screen does not put more power...

    New topic: How much computing power do you need, v/s how much electrical power do you have?

    I am doing the same thing. Using voltage regulators and custom cables to get rid of a needless DC-AC-DC conversion. 👍 So far my computer, my 3D printer, and my dehumidifier are all running fine on direct DC.

    As I said, "It depends". ☺️ People making their living completely from posting online videos have very different needs than people making videos for fun.

    New topic: How much computing power do you need, v/s how much electrical power do you have?

    Like most things the answer to me is, "it depends". Some things take a lot of computer power. Video editing, CAD design if you have a 3D printer, if your work needs a computer, if you like computer games, etc. (Personally I run a high end Laptop, a wired LAN and a 4-drive NAS, but I am way...

    Using gutter-mounted roof-rack mounts for solar?

    I went with three rack mounts, and 2x 10' galvanized structs shackled to them. I have 4x renogy 42x20 panels coming. I plan to mount them between the two rails in two pairs.

    I do daikon radish sprouts in a canning jar. It is pretty easy. I would just wash them with some distilled water or rainwater if your water is saline.

    Using gutter-mounted roof-rack mounts for solar?

    I'm working on a 1995 Ford E-350 extended van (About 12' x 5' of roof space) that will not be a long-term thing, but I figure I might as well go solar rather than a generator. (I'm planning towards a large sailboat when I find the right one so I might just end up moving the panels from the van...

    Hiya. Likely just sprouts. When I get a boat I can see doing some herbs and upside-down tomatoes in a bucket.

    Hello

    Living in a van for awhile during my search for a sailboat to travel around the world on. Right now i'm in a 1995 Ford E-350 that I just bought, and towing a 5x8' cargo trailer. I'm into woodcarving, jewelry making, writing, fishing, travel, etc. Thanks
