I'm not familiar with Stellar 7, but from a gameplay video it does look somewhat similar. Funny you should mention tanks, because that same day I had Claude build a Battlezone-inspired tank game: https://linsomniac.github.io/tankzone/
Last month I said to my wife that we should start paying homeless people to hold their signs while standing in front of the radar speed cameras the city has been putting up around our town.
There are definitely airline seats where the reclining seats impact the knee room. I'm 6'2" but I seem to have more of it in the legs than typical, which really shows up in non-extended legroom airlines. I buy the upgrade whenever possible, but sometimes it's just not available.
In a regular (not extended) seat, I have two positions that work: my ankles crossed and tucked up close to my seat with knees spread, and nothing in the underseat in front of me and then putting my feet there, with my legs straightened (wedging my thighs into the edge of my seat). Even then, my knees are high enough that usually the person in front of me reclining will recline the seat back into my knees (best case) or those metal side rails into my knees. Especially enjoyable when the suddenly recline the seat.
Not everyones body geometry is the same. My son is around the same height as me, but when we sit in the car he's like half a head taller than me, he carries a lot of his height in his trunk where I carry it in my legs.
This isn't news, the real news is that the AI tooling allows YOU (specifically) to have a custom prompt tool built specifically for you, in the same or less effort it would take to set up one of the existing prompt tools.
For example, I liked the idea of this but had no interest in the shell history integration; I use atuin.
So I had codex build me one, including the 250ms wait for git, and if git takes longer than that it backgrounds it, uses the last git status until git can return an updated status. https://github.com/linsomniac/jafoprompt
CloudFlare has their plusses and minuses, but they do offer domain registration at cost, for example $10.46/year for .com (every year, not one of those deals for the first year then more expensive down the line).
Cloudflare has become a middleman and gatekeeper of the web, a single point of surveillance, and an enemy of the open internet. Giving them more business would make these problems worse. No thanks.
Honestly I don't really see this as a bad thing for the average person. I don't register my domains with CloudFlare, but I do all my DNS through them and it's great.
Everything propagates in 10 seconds rather than 10 hours.
Unclear to me: does this also do shell history? I'm using atuin and not interested in changing that. I did just switch over to oh-my-posh a few weeks ago and it's good, but I would be open to trying something else to compare, particularly since I have some directories with monorepos where oh-my-posh goes out to lunch for a couple seconds. Also oh-my-posh sometimes loses its mind and switches back to the default prompt rather than my customized one.
I'm on the fence about my current "2-line prompt, collapsing to a single line" when I press enter. I like that it gives me a lot of room, but there's some information I find I'm wishing was persisted in my shell history (git branch, previous command execution time for long running commands).
It is likely not going "back to the grid" unless you have the rest of your house shut down; where the "balcony solar" output is greater than your house usage. These systems are "back-feeding" into your circuits, and if you have it on a circuit that is less heavily loaded than the panels are providing, the other branch circuits are going to sop up that usage before it literally feeds back into the grid.
As I understand it, the US is mostly waiting for UL listing of equipment, which hasn't been a priority because no US locals have allowed them. With Utah and others starting to allow them, UL listing will likely come at some point (hopefully shortly) thereafter.
If I understand the devices correctly, the current generation of microinverters should meet all power-limit requirements and disconnect if the grid goes away.
You’re correct, but states are looking for UL 3700 compliance, which extends current anti islanding inverter protection requirements to GFCI intelligence and circuit overload protection (you can overload the branch circuit without the breaker tripping, for example). Intelligent EV chargers support these protections, this is the generation version of protections mentioned.
Thanks for the links. I hope they don't make it difficult to add batteries to these systems. You can pick up five plus kilowatt rack mount batteries relatively cheaply. It would be unpleasant if they only permitted the expensive no-user-serviceable-parts battery boxes like jackery.
Looks like that system uses the "AP Systems EZ1" microinverter I mentioned above. Their "latest news" page lists UL 3700 with a date of about a week ago, so it looks like they've gotten it.
I've had a similar experience with NixOS configured by Claude Code, and it's been really nice. I have the same config on 3 machines, all managed in one git repo, including home manager and sops, and one of the machines I skin as a "thin client" removing most of my development tools and just using it to SSH/wezterm in to my main dev box, on a small and light ex-chromebook.
It seems like the "lightweight" they seem to be concerned with is RAM, not disc. I can't really comment on disc space usage on my own NixOS system, though my "thin client" skin does fit nicely on an old Chromebook, I think that guy has 32GB of storage.
OTOH I have an ex Chromebook with 16G of storage that I meant to run NixOS until I discovered the initial install needed almost half the disk so I figured it was doomed the moment I tried to update while also having some space used in home. It runs Alpine now, very comfortably.
I’ll just say as nix Darwin user the default vanilla install does not garbage collect well and every 2 months or so I have to hack around nuking shit in my system to free up space. Maybe NixOS itself is better managed and it’s an idiosyncrasy of nix-Darwin. Maybe not
