I want to get my PC off the grids power; any decent solutions for an apartment that has access to a roof? (lemdit.com)

As title says. I think my PC is using like a max of 500w when it's juicing but idles for less. I was thinking of using an ecoflow high grade setup for this. Anyone have experience doing something similar?

I might switch to a small micro tower setup by Dell or Lenovo that uses like 120w max. The new Mac minis seem to cap out at 39w though which is crazy.

Cool the hear someone using pinebook, how is your experience with it so far?

After the first shock of all the import fees and taxes, which made it actually 50% more expensive than advertised, I got some good use out of it. Obviously one has to keep expectations in check, but 4GB ram with zram buffer turned out to be sufficient for all my usual tasks.
