I miss the internet where people put useful stuff online and others could build on top of it, without everything needing an account or a pricing page.

I’ve been tinkering with some Home Assistant automations for my solar setup, and as part of that I ended up building an API that gives free hourly solar forecast & wholesale electricity pricing for any UK postcode, without any signup / api key / tokens / tracking

Hopefully, in some small way, it can help people make better use of their solar and have a positive environmental impact.

The Grand Chess Tree is a distributed volunteer computing system that counts how many possible move sequences exist up to a given depth in a game of chess. Since chess is a branching game—each move creates new possibilities. At depth 1, White has 20 moves. At depth 2, there are 400 possible positions. By depth 3, it’s 8,902. Then 187K, 4.8M, 3.2B…

Currently searching at a rate of around 50 billion positions a second!
