Let's do this.

@elliek @techindepth27 @adlerweb @janeq yeah I crosspost my youtube channel to makertube, it’s great. It also supports automatic mirroring from youtube, so I don’t even have to think about it most of the time, it just happens.

@TechConnectify bravo

@TechConnectify I've followed your channel for a while now and I have to say that this is probably your best video so far! From a European perspective it makes me very happy to hear people speak out about what's happening in your country. Thank you!

@TechConnectify I need you to know every time I put on your videos, my fiance says "Oh is that dishwasher man? I recognise his dulcet tones".

@f4grx @BalooUriza @ysbreker @TechConnectify I think they meant the person who bought the tower coda, but iirc that was going to california, so no

@TechConnectify holy shit it is so good to hear this from you. I feel like your politics have always been so clear but hearing you say these things so clearly is still like the opposite of gaslighting. It feels so obvious to me how bad things are getting, and hearing someone whose other opinions I trust saying this with their full chest is lifegiving. Thank you.

@TechConnectify truly an excellent piece. many thanks for it.

@mattesilver @TechConnectify The most recent figues show that panels that were installed in the 80's are still at around 80% efficiency – that's after 40 years of use.

@TechConnectify I am a longtime follower who also always felt a special connection. Not only because of the interest in technology but because I also own a NeXT shirt (and the computer with which it came).

You open so many people’s eyes. This time it’s more important than ever. Even if it seems long, every minute of the video should be watched. All the way.

@TechConnectify During the energy crisis of the 70s Sweden went all-in on nuclear. During that period, home owners were told/incentivised (unsure) that they should also throw out their oil/coal/wood furnaces and go all-electric since it was and was going to be _so_ much cheaper. We built out a lot of electrical direct heating back then.

This has given us an amazing situation now. We're already big on heat pumps, giving us 4-5 times better efficiency compared to direct heating, and going solar is just to hook it all up since everyting is already electric.

@TechConnectify Looking in from Europe, all I can say is well said. I hope your words can fuel the change the US and the world needs. How can it be that we are able to pump billions into things like border protection, thugs, "AI"-Bullshit, but people can't get together and spend that money on energy independence ONCE?! It's maddening and so good to hear it articulated like this.

@maruno @TechConnectify I built my own 20kWh + 5kW off grid setup, batteries included, for about 2000 euros.

LFP cells cost about 40-100 per kWh, you just have to add a BMS, inverter and some cables.

The expensive part is people. Same goes for the panels; 5kw of panels is 500€, but getting them put on your roof and cabled and all that costs (sometimes tens of) thousands, because there aren't a lot of people who do it and they want a high profit margin.

Happy to show you how to do it though
