  • I don’t have a good link to share, but from the research I did the difference is huge.

    LiFePO4 batteries have a higher capacity, longer lifetime, safer and higher power to weight density. Many come with built in communication, like my bluetooth connection.

    They are also expensive, but for my use case it’s much cheaper over time. I use about half a charge per day, which this battery should be able to sustain for 5-10 years. A lead acid battery would probably last months.




  • It’s very homemade, but I believe it’s built like a DC net for a boat. It’s a bluetooth connected lithium battery, boat cabling and fuse boxes and Victron charger and voltage transformers.

    I built it with “subnets” for different voltages. The battery is 24 V which feeds servers and a 34” monitor, then a transformer to 12 V for network gear, and several 5 V (USB) for a rack of raspberry pis. The is also a small 230 V transformer, for some gear that have built in PSU.

    The largest server is fitted with a custom DC PSU I found on e-bay, others are normal external PSU where I cut the cables.





  • I picked this game up for vacation a couple weeks ago, after having it on my wishlist forever.

    I don’t like bosses in games, and I’d say I still don’t. But this game has been great, the hype is certainly justified. And the bosses are annoying but hard and fun. The world building is fantastic, exploitation is fun and accessible. The kind of game that’s easy the learn and hard to master, and just keeps on giving.
