Just a few stray thoughts. We’ve had our EV (a 2024 Chevy Equinox) for almost a month at this point. It’s lovely. We have a charger that can use 120V for slow charging (about 1.4kW/hr), or 240V for fast charging (I think like 11-12kW/hr, so much faster). We don’t have the 240V outlet yet, though, and would need to get a new breaker box for that to be possible, and it won’t be cheap. So for right now we’ve had to charge the EV for a couple of days to get it back up to 80%, where we ideally want it to be.

I’m excited we’re almost at the start of Winter proper (we are, as of the time of writing, 8 days out from the winter solstice). My spouse is happy after the solstice passes, mostly because the days start getting longer again. I love it since it’s the shortest and darkest day of the year. Bring on the cold and gloom! I feel like the colder months pass too quickly, and just by the time I get used to having them around, we go back to warmer, then hot, days, and the bugs come back, ugh.

I’ve been wanting to do a writeup on this for a bit now. I had a pesky IPv6 issue with my server, and thought, hey, why not just nuke the whole thing and restart from scratch? I first opened this server in August 2020, and installed YunoHost back then, so the installation has been around for awhile. As a result, lots of cruft built up over time, and somehow things went south with my IPv6 configuration, to the point where YunoHost kept throwing warnings about non-functioning IPv6. As I couldn’t figure out the issue, despite loads of attempts, I thought I’d rebuild everything and reinstall.
