Cybersecurity firm @… has a new blog out on how to use Azure Blob storage as a C2 for their Mythic C2 framework.

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.

We won't find out how well it's really performing until the summer.
