I thought I blew my weeks of effort and lost nights of studying "System Design" with a lousy final interview. But today they called and offered me the role! I am beyond ecstatic and feel reinvigorated.

Whenever I finish a book I want to find podcasts that discuss it. I haven't found a solution yet, so I'm thinking of building something myself. Thoughts? #booksky

It's impossible to charge and discharge at the same time, or import and export at the same time from the grid. So if something in the house needs the power, no problem. It will just reduce the power being exported from the battery.

000

Jon @chrt.dev · 10/04/2026

You just need to work this out: At the current state of energy (how many kWh do I have stored, or SoC % * Battery Capacity), how many hours would it take to discharge at max power? Then take your target time, 23:30 for me, and subtract your discharge time from that. 2 hours? Discharge from 21:30

Jon @chrt.dev · 10/04/2026

I thought it would need some kind of pattern analysis to predict my expected usage of a given evening. But then I spoke with a good friend of mine, who pointed out that it's much simpler than that.

000

Jon @chrt.dev · 10/04/2026

I've been putting off setting up some home battery automation to discharge what's left at the end of each day (before recharging on the off-peak overnight rate). I procrastinated as I couldn't be bothered to work out a clever way to avoid discharging energy I'd want to use in the evening. (cont)

This is how you "break link between the price of gas and the price of electricity": building more wind power, solar, grid upgrades and grid batteries. In March gas set the price of electricity some 65% of the time – it used to be 98% across a year

I don't agree. It was great, but it's been heavily enshittified. It doesn't even have solid uptime lately. But I agree there isn't currently a better platform that offers *everything*, and particularly if your income is linked to GitHub sponsors (which is legit good), it only makes sense to stay.
