With the continued progress of non-local storage and distributed computing., I wonder how this is evolving over time:

How cool are these related libraries:

[WayBack] Omg this is awesome. Synchronize settings etc between Atom installs!https://atom.io/packages/sync-settings#atomio – Roderick Gadellaa – Google+
I revisited this and it’s awesome.
Note that – as usual – when you sync settings for packages that have external dependencies, these dependencies depend on your platform of choice.
Which means that if for instance depend on Pandoc and you use both a Mac and Windows, you need Pandoc installations plus all dependencies on those platforms before syncing your settings.

On Linux, always remember the splice function makes direct data paths between handles very cheap, so storing it as files is better.

Searching 7z.exe calculate crc32 didn’t return any meaningful results, but [WayBack] Using 7-zip hashing to compare directories and files – Sami Lehtinen did help me as I never noticed that somewhere along the line the h command got added to 7z.exe. It’s not even in the documentation, as found by searching for 7zip commandline arguments:
but it is in the command-line help, at least in versions 16.x:
C:\temp>"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" --help
7-Zip [64] 16.02 : Copyright (c) 1999-2016 Igor Pavlov : 2016-05-21
Usage: 7z [...] [...]

a : Add files to archive
b : Benchmark
d : Delete files from archive
e : Extract files from archive (without using directory names)
h : Calculate hash values for files
i : Show information about supported formats
l : List contents of archive
rn : Rename files in archive
t : Test integrity of archive
u : Update files to archive
x : eXtract files with full paths

These are the command-line parameters I assembled to get close to “Ultra” compression from the 7-zip command-line:
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -t7z -m0=lzma2:d1024m -mx=9 -aoa -mfb=64 -md=32m -ms=on -sdel filename archive.7z
This will move filename to archive.7z using maximum compression.
Sometimes this is slightly better than “Ultra” compression from the 7-zip UI, sometimes slightly worse, but never far apart.

This is a reminder to write a longer post on [WayBack] Using batteries to save moneyWith the new Tesla factory, battery prices are expected to drop to 100$/KWh.This leads up to an interesting question.Can you save money by using a battery to buy your electricity cheaper?… – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+
By now it’s almost a year ago since I got my (City-Zen Smart City) battery. With about 50 households, we form a virtual energy provider that – because of size – can buy cheaper and sell higher than individual households.
Hopefully in a few months from now, I will have some figures that I can put into an article.
Bug me soon to start writing it (:
