Junkyard Computing: Repurposing Discarded Smartphones to Minimize Carbon
1.5 billion smartphones are sold annually, and most are decommissioned less than two years later. Most of these unwanted smartphones are neither discarded nor recycled but languish in junk drawers and storage units. This computational stockpile represents a substantial wasted potential: modern smartphones have increasingly high-performance and energy-efficient processors, extensive networking capabilities, and a reliable built-in power supply. This project studies the ability to reuse smartphon…

Buying enterprise cast-offs has been my computer buying hack for years. It makes sense to do the same with components.
"However, I’m deliberately opting for used enterprise-grade SSDs instead of their brand-new consumer counterparts. This isn’t just about chasing a bargain; it's a calculated decision to strike a balance between durability and consistent performance."

Maybe this is the way.
Treat it like one single line of panels by extending the posts up attaching to a cross bar that would go the full length of the fence (or however long the line of panels is) and provide the base for each panel.

Looking for some #diy #solar advice. Specifically, I am looking for a bracket solution whereby I could mount solar panels on the top of each fence post around the yard. (either full size 6x3ft rectangular panels or 5x5 “half size”?
My backyard is in a state of flux, and the fence is new last fall so this is the time to do it.
The brackets would need to attach on the inward facing side of the post, or as a “cap” over the top of the post and then have a bracket that holds the panel up and far enough away to clear the fence at an angle.
The long side of our yard faces north/south so it is perfect for panels throughout the year.
We get strong southerly winds so they would need to be solid.
Suggestions appreciated. It would be great if there was something purpose built for mounting panels on fences.
It might be something I just need to have made custom (there are lots of welding shops in town) but I am not sure how to make sure that the panel itself would be able to attach to the bracket properly.
