> Yes, the water wheel will generate electricity all year round. In winter, it produces between 120 and 170 kWh per 24-hour period, with peak generation reaching up to 11 kW per hour. In summer, it generates between 3 and 5 kW per hour.
Seems like a nice complement with solar, given that they peak at each others inverse.
That’s exactly how I do it. I enjoy reading DRM-free epubs on my Kobo, and whenever I finished a book I enjoyed, I buy it from the local sci-fi bookshop. I buy about 90% of all books I read.
I used to do that with games back when I played. I was always a staunch advocate of, if it's good, people will pay, and I didn't want to be a hypocrite despite refusing to buy most games because they could not be returned afterwards. Even newer services that offer refunds make it more difficult than I'm willing to put up with. If I played it most of the way through, I bought it.
How's Librem as a daily driver? Battery life, camera, reception/calls etc? I'm eager to get a proper Linux phone, but got burned by the awful performance of Pinephone.
Librem 5 is much more performant than Pinephone, however JS-heavy websites are not very usable. NoScript is the solution. Here is a couple of good review with which I agree:
As a Wayland user with an oled screen I very much appreciate the coming wayland support. I haven’t found any good lock screen solution that doesn’t risk burn-in for wayland yet.
As always with supplements, a deficiency might cause the issue (cramps in this case) and the supplement gets you back to normal levels, preventing cramps. If you’re experiencing cramps but don’t have a magnesium deficiency, taking magnesium supplements won’t make the cramps go away.
It works - amazing - with Calibre actually. I set up Calibre-Web-Automated last week and setup my Kobo Libra 2 to sync with my Calibre server (swapping one url in a config file), and now my Kobo acts like my self hosted Calibre server is the actual Kobo Store, meaning I can browse and download all of my books. I think it syncs reading progress too.
Hey, this look neat. I'm not familiar with kobos, are they good (compared to kindles)? Does this require some sort of jailbreaking or are they quite open by default?
In my experience they're more open than Kindles by default and there's no need for jailbreaking. I can read PDFs, project Gutenberg epubs, library books, sideload via Calibre and so on -- but maybe someone else has other needs that require a jailbreak? Not sure.
The hardware is good. I have a Libra Colour, which works great. Good screen, waterproof, nice hardware buttons to page-scroll one-handed, a good bezel to hold onto. No complaints from me about it.
You literally just change an URL in a config file. The config file is available by just connecting your Kobo by USB to your computer. Super simple and quite surprising.
Would you be willing to post a short blurb about how you did it. I spent the last two days trying to do this. Just listing the software you used would be helpful.
