Challenging poverty in Scotland needs cross-party action, and I was happy to support Paul Sweeney's Challenge Poverty Week motion recognising the organisations who are coming together to "challenge the causes and consequences of poverty and to demand action".

I look forward to working with others across Parliament and across our communities to make a Scotland free from poverty a reality.

It is always a good idea to explore what is out there. The sysadmin/dev crowd certainly does and you experiment with another OS that is not your “daily driver”, from time to time. For the #Linux user this often means distro hopping. For a #BSD user, this might mean to look at Linux from time to time (again): Void and Alpine Linux are probably distros that are much liked. Back in the day, I started with #SUSE Linux 8, that’s why I am drawn to sometimes take a look what the #openSUSE project has to offer nowadays. So, I was trying out #MicroOS and I have to be honest here — I like it, not systemd of course, but generally, it is really neat. Like I mean it is good to be a bit OS-agnostic.

so i'm going back to a former project of mine: getting Achernar to work with piper. it will use en-us-chirp3-hd-achernar. my original plan was to use Gemini Achernar, problem being Gemini is very unpredictable and can generate very varying results, you will not get the same voice without trying like a bunch of different times, so it's google cloud Achernar. we'll see how far we can take this with colab from Google...

#ClermontFerrand : un #automobiliste fonce dans la foule de la manifestation pour le climat, 4 blessés.

Ce samedi 26 septembre 2026 au matin, un automobiliste a foncé dans la foule et renversé plusieurs participants à la #MarchePourLeClimat #clermontoise, faisant quatre blessés. Une enquête a été ouverte pour "violence volontaire avec arme". La piste terroriste est écartée.

Visualization of the state of charge of a 7 kWh battery simulation. In January and February it the battery would have be empty most of the time. From March to October it would be more than half full most of the time.

Second and third diagram show only January and June.

Line diagram showing the state of charge of a 7 kWh battery for every 5 minutes in 2025. There is an empty arc in the summer which indicates that the battery would not be fully utilized in those months.

Diagram with the state of charge of a 7 kWh battery in January. On about tend of the days it's at 0 kWh. On the other days it mostly stays below 3 kWh. On four days, it reaches the full 7 kWh.

Diagram showing the state of charge of a 7 kWh battery in June. On most days the charge doesn't fall below 4 kWh. About 3 kWh are slowly discharged over night and quickly charged again in the morning. Only two days show the battery being full discharged to 0 kWh.

A 3 kWh battery would see about 50 % more charge cycles (381 compared to 256 with a 7 kWh battery).

Diagram showing the state of charge for a 3 kWh battery in 2025. From February until about Oktober the lines are very close, indicating that it fully charges and discharges every day.
