Comment It's the same for most chips (Score 2) 117

In the industry I'm working in, we have significant shortage issue with all the main players for all sorts for chips, not just drivers.

What I mean is, if you have everything in you design, except "1 chip", than you cannot sell. That statement is true for most of the stuff we use. Sometime you can find a replacement, but many times, this is not the case!

Similar to this guy.

I use FreeNAS "Raid 10" equivalent (stripe of 2 mirrors). This machine is getting backed up once a month on another freenas with a single 8tb drive. I also use Backblaze B2 for critical data once a week, using rclone and encryption. I used to backup to my folk's house also, but supporting hardware from a far is getting problematic.

To keep data in sync with every PC, and keep thing accessible, I am now using Nextcloud on my machine. The data storage is the FreeNAS server.

I'm still playing around to improve my setup and the strategy (3-2-1 is important, I think)

Hi Friend,

Actually, if you look at standard e12-07 from Hydro-Quebec, you will find it is feasible to feed electricity back to the grid. I know there is some red tape, but the last government made it mandatory for Hydro-Quebec to accept people to feed back into their system.

You need a UL1741 or CSA C22.2 No 107.1-01 Inverter + power source.

An important fact is that you will never receive a check in the mail. You can only reduce your bill. Also, you cannot pay the "montly connection fee" with the energy you could be overproducing.

Also, if I remember correctly, you have 24 months to use the energy you overproduced. So, you could over-produce in the summer and use it in the winter. This would not affect you bill. It would be like using Hydro-Quebec as a big battery!
