#Niedersachsen liegt beim #Windkraft-Ausbau vorn.
Im ersten Halbjahr 2025 gingen dort 91 neue Anlagen ans Netz – rund 70 Prozent mehr als im Vorjahr. Mit 13.400 MW installierter Leistung bleibt das Land bundesweiter Spitzenreiter.
Bezogen auf die Fläche führt jedoch

Beginning to wonder about moving to a new instance in the indefinite vaguely near future, since IOCX admins seem to be a bit behind the curve (we're still on mastodon 4.3.7).
I poked them but havent heard back or even seen any posts from them in a while, which makes me wonder if I'm living on a ghost ship.
Anyone have suggestions on one that's generally friendly to cool EE research, OSS/OSH, infosec, etc stuff?

So many posts on my local Nextdoor that are like, "this person came to my door at 2.30pm. I didn't answer. Beware folks!" and never explain why to be aware. They'll have a doorbell cam and it'll just be a perfectly normal looking person in broad daylight.
I used to think I was antisocial but Nextdoor lets me know just how many people cower inside their houses afraid of unknown callers.
Every time I approach the door of someone I don't know, I wonder if I…
Was hoping to get lots of things done this weekend. Preparing the garden for winter, messing around with some hardware, watching some movies … instead I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that the mild uveitis-sensation doesn’t blossom into the real deal while staying away from light. Sigh. It’s always on weekends when the local apothecary closes early.
For those of you who are wondering where I have been, as I barely get any sort of attention on my artwork when I post, I have decided to focus my attention on bluesky instead.
I know, I know, Mastodon and the fediverse are meant to be unshackled and FOSS platforms, but I honestly need the engagement in order to increase the chances of receiving commissions, especially since I'm no longer getting food money from the government.
Good Morning #Canada
This morning, our old Mazda goes in for new brakes, front and back, and install the snow tires. While sipping my coffee, I was wondering about auto stats in Canada....
- Canada ranks 23rd worldwide in vehicles per 1,000 people. USA ranks 10th.
- COVID put and end to rising car ownership. In 2020 there were 473 vehicles for every 1,000 people. Today, it's estimated to be 408.
- 11% of Canadians own 3 or more vehicles, 2% own 5 or more.
- 9% own an electric vehicle or hybrid.
- 78% of Canadians say it would be impossible for them not to have a car.
- 41% wish they had better transportation options to avoid needing a car altogether.
- Compared to 2024, car ownership costs have increased 9 per cent, rising from $5,025 to $5,497 annually.

Solar install done! 41x 440W (peak) panels, commissioned a whopping nine hours before midnight when the tax credits expire lol. The installer definitely cut things close.
I wonder how much juice I'll get out of it this time of year. 100W total? Lol.
We won't find out how well it's really performing until the summer.
Just finished "It's Lonely at the Center of the Earth" by Zoe Thorogood.
CW: Frank/graphic discussion of suicide and depression (not in this post but in the book).
It feels a bit wrong to simply give it my review here as I would another graphic memoir, because it's much more personal and less consensual than the usual. It feels less like Thorogood has invited us into her life than like she was forced to put her life on display in order to survive, and while I selfishly like to read into the book that she benefited in some way from the process, she's honest about how tenuous and sometimes false that claim can be. Knowing what I've learned from this book about Thorogood's life and demons, I don't want her to feel the mortification of being perceived by me, and so perhaps the best thing I could do is to simply unread the book and pull it back out of my memories.
I did not find Thorogood's life relatable, nor pitiable (although my instinct bends in that direction), but instead sacred and unknowable. I suspect that her writing and drawing has helped others in similar circumstances, but she leaves me with no illusion that this fact brings her any form of peace or joy. I wonder what she would feel reading "Lab Girl" or "The Deep Dark," but she has been honest enough to convey that such speculation on my part is a bit intrusive.
I guess the one other thing I have to say: Zoe Thorogood has through artistic perseverance developed an awe-inspiring mastery of the comic medium, from panel composition, through to page layout and writing. This book wields both Truth and Beauty.
