Finally got around to deploying a Helm Chart repo that enables deploying a new OP Chain in Kubernetes. geo-web-project.github.io/op-chain-…

Thanks to Test In Prod for their work on op-node and op-geth. These were forked and modified to be used specifically for new OP chains.

More complicated MUD data types are now working using native Swift decoding. Including dynamic strings and bytes.

Testing out cross-posting via ActivityPub and Bluesky using Micro.blog

Using Range Replenishing Speed to Evaluate Electric Vehicles

A metric used when comparing how fast electric vehicles charge is range replenishing speed. This is usually measured in the average amount of range gained per minute while charging from 20 to 80 percent. The first I heard of range replenishing speed was from InsideEVs. They have great fast-charging analysis on many electric vehicles with a wide range of metrics used and is currently the best (only?) place to find tests measuring this metric.

Using Maximum Charging Power to Evaluate Electric Vehicles

A common metric that is used when comparing how fast electric vehicles charge is the maximum charging power. This is measured in kilowatts (kW) and is the maximum power a vehicle can receive while charging. Let’s explore how well this metric may or may not help people understand which electric vehicles are more or less convenient to charge. Pro: Simple and easy to understand A single number is used for each vehicle and the scale is linear.

Using Average Charging Power to Evaluate Electric Vehicles

A common metric that is used when comparing how fast electric vehicles charge is the average charging power. This is measured in kilowatts (kW) and is usually the average power a vehicle receives when charging from 20 to 80 percent using a DC fast charger. Let’s explore how well this metric may or may not help people understand which electric vehicles are more or less convenient to charge. Pro: Simple and easy to understand A single number is used for each vehicle and the scale is linear.

Using 20 to 80 Charging Time to Evaluate Electric Vehicles

A common metric used when comparing how fast electric vehicles charge is how long it takes to charge from 20 to 80 percent of the battery capacity. Let’s explore how well this metric may or may not help people understand which electric vehicles are more or less convenient to charge. Pro: Simple and familiar Having a metric measured in time is useful to other aspects of life that are already familiar to us.

EV Road Trip

In 2019 I wrote a couple of posts about a road trip I took in my Tesla Model 3. EV Road Trip: Charging EV Road Trip: For the Fun of It

An Additional ICE Passenger

My main goal in purchasing my Tesla Model 3 a couple of years ago was to reduce the amount of carbon emissions I contribute to the atmosphere. Driving an electric vehicle almost always means emitting less carbon emissions. However, there are certain scenarios, such as carpooling and public transit, that can still result in lower emissions. One common scenario is when I have a choice between riding as a passenger in an ICE (internal combustion engine) car or driving myself in my EV (electric vehicle).

Backup Your iOS Devices to a Private IPFS Node

Update 2020-04-07: This has now been built into a single command line tool. Installation and usage can be found on Github. There are various reasons you may want to backup your iOS device somewhere other than iCloud. This post describes how to perform manual backups of your iOS device over USB or WiFi to a local IPFS node via the command line. Script available: A script is available on Github that automates much of this process.

We Should Learn From RSS

This post originally appeared on Medium Let’s talk about RSS. You may have heard of it or seen it appear across the web. Perhaps you have always wondered what it is, or perhaps you already know all about it. No matter which it is, I want to talk about why you should care about RSS and why we should learn from it. What is RSS? RSS is a web feed format that is used to distribute content across the web.

EV Road Trip: Charging

This post is part of a series of posts about a recent road trip I took in my Tesla Model 3. You can see a list of all posts in the series here. Planning The assumption most people make when learning someone has gone on a long road trip in an EV is that there must have been a lot of planning involved. They imagine spending a few hours laying out the exact route ahead of time.

EV Road Trip: For the Fun of It

Update: This post is part of a series of posts about a recent road trip I took in my Tesla Model 3. You can see a list of all posts in the series here. I recently drove a 2700 mile road trip alone with my electric vehicle: a Tesla Model 3. Many people have asked me why I would want to drive from Seattle, Washington to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Even my own family members chose flying over riding with me.
