+Eight months ago I came up my rocky driveway in an electric car, with the
+back full of solar panel mounting rails. I didn't know how I'd manage to
+keep it charged. I got the car earlier than planned, with my
+[[offgrid solar upgrade|aiming_at_December]] only beginning. There's no
+nearby EV charger, and winter was coming, less solar power every day.
+Still, it was the right time to take a leap to offgid EV life.
+
+My existing 1 kilowatt solar array could charge the car only 5 miles on a
+good day. Here's my first try at charging the car offgrid:
+
+[[!img offgrid_ev_charging/proof_of_concept_charging_from_1_kw_solar_at_6_amps.png caption="first feeble charging offgrid"]]
+
+It was not worth charging the car that way, the house battery tended to get
+drained while doing that, and adding cycles to that battery is not
+desirable. So that was only a proof of concept, I knew I'd need to upgrade.
+
+My goal with the upgrade was to charge the car directly from the
+sun, even when it was cloudy, using the house battery only to skate over
+brief darker periods (like a thunderstorm). By mid October, I had enough
+solar installed to do that (5 kilowatts).
+
+[[!img solar_fence.jpeg size=512x caption="me standing in front of solar fence"]]

+
+Using this, in 2 days I charged the car up from 57% to 82%, and took off on a
+celebratory road trip to Niagra Falls, where I charged the car from hydro
+power from a dam my grandfather had engineered.
+
+When I got home, it was November. Days were getting ever shorter. My solar
+upgrade was only 1/3rd complete and could charge the car 30-some miles per
+day, but only on a good day, and weather was getting worse. I came back
+with a low state of charge (both car and me), and needed to get back to
+full in time for my Thanksgiving trip at the end of the month. I decided to
+limit my trips to town.
+

+
+This kind of medium term planning about car travel was new to me. But not
+too unusual for offgrid living. You look at the weather forecast and make
+some rough plans, and get to feel connected to the natural world a bit more.
+
+December is the real test for offgrid solar, and honestly this was a bit
+rough, with a road trip planned for the end of the month. I did the usual
+holiday stuff but otherwise holed up at home a bit more than I usually
+would. Charging was limited and the cold made it charge less efficiently.
+
+[[!img offgrid_ev_charging/december_charging.png caption="bleak December charging"]]
+
+Still, I was busy installing more solar panels, and by winter solstice, was
+back to charging 30 miles on a good day.
+
+Of course, from there out things improved. In January and February I was
+able to charge up easily enough for my usual trips despite the
+cold. By March the car was often getting full before I needed to go
+anywhere, and I was doing long round trips without bothering to fast
+charge along the way, coming home low, knowing even cloudy days would let
+it charge up enough.
+
+That brings me up to today. The car is 80% full and heading up toward 100%
+for a long trip on Friday. Despite the sky being milky white today with no
+visible sun, there's plenty of power to absorb, and the car charger turned
+on at 11 am with the house battery already full.
+
+My solar upgrade is only 2/3rds complete, and also I have not yet
+installed my inverter upgrade, so the car can only currenly charge at 9
+amps despite much more solar power often being available. So I'm looking
+forward to how next December goes with my full planned solar array and
+faster charging.
+
+But first, a summer where I expect the car will mostly be charged up and
+ready to go at all times, and the only car expense will be fast charging
+on road trips!
+
+----
+
+By the way, the code I've written to automate offgrid charging that runs
+only when there's enough solar power is 
+[here](https://git.joeyh.name/index.cgi/joey/house.git/tree/src/Automation/Car.hs#n21).
+
+And here are the charging graphs for the other months.
+All told, it's charged 475 kwh offgrid, enough to drive
+more than 1500 miles.

+Under macOS, I ran `EDITOR=mvim .` to launch the MacVim gui editor and it only opens up an empty temp file. This might be because mvim [0] is a script that then execs the real editor. So does the exec cause vidir to lose the temp file because File::Temp considers it out of scope and then deletes it before the editor opens it?

+I'm hopeful. Ladybird is coming, and coming fast. It's almost catching up to Safari now, which itself is a huge feat considering how little time it's existed. That said, I, too, think WASM is most likely the future, and we'll repeat Flash all over again, but perhaps better this time. At least I can write Rust to produce WASM and don't need ActionScript, so there's that.

+So there are only 2 web browser engines, and it seems likely there will
+soon only be 1, and making a whole new web browser from the ground up is
+effectively impossible because the browsers vendors have weaponized web
+standards complexity against any newcomers. Maybe eventually someone will
+succeed and there will be 2 again. Best case. What a situation.
+
+So throw out all the web standards. Make a browser that just runs WASM
+blobs, and gives them a surface to use, sorta like Wayland does. It has
+tabs, and a throbber, and urls, but no HTML, no javascript, no CSS.
+Just HTTP of WASM blobs.
+
+This is where the web browser is going eventually anyway, except in the
+current line of evolution it will be WASM with all the web standards
+complexity baked in and reinforcing the current situation.
+
+Would this be a mass of proprietary software? Have you looked at any
+corporate website's "source" lately? But what's important is that this
+would make it easy enough to build new browsers that they would stop
+being a point of control.

+I've been lucky to be able to spend twenty! five! years! developing free
+software and making a living on it, and this was a banner year for that
+career.
+
+To start with, there was the [Distribits](https://distribits.live/) 
+conference. There's a big ecosystem of tools and projects that are based on
+git-annex, especially in scientific data management, and this was the
+first conference focused on that. Basically every talk involved git-annex
+in some way. It's been a while since I was at a conference where my
+software was in the center like that -- reminded me of Debconf days.
+
+I gave [a talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp8IeGXpRRI&list=PLEQHbPfpVqU6esVrgqjfYybY394XD2qf2&index=4)
+on how git-annex was probably basically feature complete. I
+have been very busy ever since adding new features to it, because in
+mapping out git-annex's feature set, I discovered new possibilities.
+
+Meeting people and getting a better feel for the shape of that ecosytem,
+both technically and funding wise, led to several big developments in
+funding later in the year. Going into the year, I had an ongoing source of
+funding from several projects at Dartmouth that use git-annex, but after 10
+years, some of that was winding up.
+
+That all came together in my essentially writing a grant proposal to
+the OpenNeuro project at Stanford, to spend 6 months building out a whole
+constellation of features. The summer became a sprint to get it all done.
+Signficant amounts of very productive design work were done while swimming
+in the river. That was great.
+
+(Somehow in there, I ended up onstage at FOSSY in Portland, in a 
+[keynote panel on Open Source and AI](https://2024.fossy.us/schedule/presentation/275/).
+This required developing a nuanced understanding of the mess of the
+OSI's Open Source AI definition, but I was mostly on the panel as the
+unqualified guy.)
+
+Capping off the year, I have a new maintenance contract with
+[Forschungszentrum Jülich](https://www.fz-juelich.de/en). This covers
+the typical daily grind kind of tasks, like bug triage, keeping on top of
+security, release preparation, and updating dependencies, which is the kind
+of thing I've never been able to find dedicated funding for before.
+
+A career in free software is a succession of hurdles. How to do something
+new and worthwhile? How to make any income while developing it at all? How
+to maintain your independant vision when working on it for hire? How to
+deal with burn-out? How to grow a project to be more than a one developer
+affair? And on and on.
+
+How does a free software project keep paying the bills once it's feature
+complete? Maybe I am starting to get a glimpse of an answer.

 For the past several weeks I have been installing additional solar panels
 on ballasted ground mounts full of gravel. At this point I'm half way
 through installing my 30 panel upgrade.

+I have been working all year on a solar upgrade aimed at December. Now here
+it is, midwinter, and my electric car is charging on a cloudy day from my
+offgrid solar fence.
+
+I lived happily enough with 1 kilowatt of solar that I 
+[[installed in 2017|DIY_professional_grade_solar_panel_installation]].
+Meanwhile, solar panel prices came down massively, incentives increased
+and everything came together: This was the year.
+
+In the spring I started clearing forest trees that were leaning over the house,
+making both a firebreak and a solar field.
+
+In June I picked up a pallet of panels in a box truck.
+

+
+In August I bought the EV and was able to charge it offgrid from my old
+solar system... a few miles per day on the most sunny days.
+
+In September and October I built
+[a solar fence, of my own design](https://hachyderm.io/@joeyh/113177118703625033).
