‘some’

Can’t tell if you are being wilfully obtuse. Look at the math: https://www.cnet.com/home/energy-and-utilities/calculate-how-many-solar-panels-you-need-to-charge-your-ev/

A small ioniq 6 requires 6 solar panels dedicated to the car. And that assumes charging through the day. Want to charge at night? Now you need a decent battery.

F-150? Now you need 12 panels. And a bigger battery. Plus your home energy needs, throw on a few more panels for that.

I’m frustrated by generic appeal to solar without consideration for the realities of same.

Though I completely agree with your bike comment.

I’m a little surprised that they would share a cabin with a tourist.

Three weeks is my personal record for proper jobs, not counting walkout from bait-and-switch jobs.

Interviewed at two places, accepted the one that gave an offer, then 3 weeks later the second place provided a better offer. Accepted the better offer and handed in resignation. I know the bridge is now burnt at place 1, but no regrets.

Look after number 1.

What’s your configuration, if you don’t mind sharing?

I second Synology. Have similar background (no IT experience). Bought a d923+ and have been setting up different options. Within 6 months I have setup:

• a self hosted Immich account for all my photos (downloaded everything from Google Photos)
• Plex for all my media (unexpected benefit, no longer paying for several streaming apps)
• local backup for home/exterior video cameras

I highly recommend Marius Hosting for simple, step by step, guides. For example: https://mariushosting.com/how-to-install-immich-on-your-synology-nas/
