In the UK the push towards renewable energy has so far been disastrous for energy prices and stability. There have been days in the UK where the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow, and we came extremely close to blackouts

Because the trust associated with my site and domain doesn't necessarily extend to another. The user should know that they are navigating away from the trust I have earned with them.

This is clearly a change that appears to coincide with the Online Safety Act [1]. The question for me is - why? The UK agency Ofcom are in charge of deciding what to censor, and their approach has typically been to remain strategically vagu

Could have been simpler still. You can read the internal temperature of the ATiny85 [1]. You can also get the ATiny85 to speak USB and even be flashed via USB via the micronucleus bootloader [2]. [1] https://andrey.mikhalchuk.com

I still think that the missing context is an issue. Imagine the page is some 10k words, by the time you get to the bottom, you might not remember what "Amaya" is. So just saying "Amaya's download page" tells the use
