  • I was actually looking at a layer system myself. With stabilized earth (50% concrete and dirt) packed at an angle about 1 1/2 feet, rocks, rocks wrapped in breathable fabric, and finally more rock on top of that.

    Basically just mimizing the rate at which water flows under my house but giving it a better place to go away from the house.

    I also have big clay pots buried a foot or two from the house so the water can sit in there and slowly spread mix spread out.

    The biggest saver is dealing with roof runoff though, rain storage plus irrigation away from the house help quite a bit










  • For real. It’s like imagining metered electrical generation becoming the norm if solar was already cheaper and easier to install. Like if it wasn’t for decades of hydro and fossil fuel being the cheaper more flexible option it never would of made sense to focus so much on metered connections in the first place (and increasingly making less sense now…).

    They will have to have some enforced mechanism to “franchise the sunshine” as they old saying went to prevent a world where they (big SaaS AI) are not clearly the option of last resort.

    Even big corp and government world is increasingly “sovereign AI” focused now, just like hybrid cloud almost always makes more sense at certain level of IT infrastructure maturity.
