Insulation. Reflectrix your attic. Seal off air gaps. Add as much blow-in that you can.
Heat pump water heater.
You can buy an entry Ecoflow River that will use solar before battery. Could run a fridge off of it.

83·6 days agoSo, Alaska might be one of those places where coal makes sense:
- Poor sunlight, unpredictable wind.
- Transmission lines from elsewhere extremely difficult.
- no hydro.
- no nuke.
- transportation networks unreliable over long distance.
If you have a big pile of coal nearby then I understand why it would be used.
These unique situations are not the issue, it’s building or maintaining dirty power when alternatives exist that are better.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How would I improve Wifi consistency within my house?
5·19 days agoInstead of chaining them together, try to put the “router” in a central location and do what’s needed to limit your repeaters to a single hop away from the router. Chaining them together will lead to problems.
A proper mesh system will work better than repeaters. Some systems can use powerline networking to use your existing power outlets as a network, but it’s not always that great.
Some locations such as apartments/condos have really bad interfering neighbors on 2.4ghz. If that’s your situation then using 5ghz exclusively might help.

















I don’t quite agree that the goal should be no debt.
Just like getting a loan to buy a house today pays out better over time, or getting an education loan works out better for everyone later, a nation going into debt makes sense.
It pays out better in the long run. In fact debt is one of the best exports we have. We take other peoples money to build infrastructure that accelerates growth, they get decent interest payouts.
