How does one go about acquiring these?

By googling wholesale solar panel dealers, one example would be https://krannich-solar.com/us-en/

Assuming you're in the US 48 states there should be plenty of companies that'll take your money for a factory sealed pallet load of panels. They come wrapped up from the factory, basically all they do is do the invoicing/billing to you, they buy them by the 40' or 45' container load and then load them onto trucks at a loading dock.

PV panel factory datasheets will clearly specify how many are on a pallet and how many pallets fit in a single container.

Have you done this yourself?

I am curious what the installation process is like. It seems like all the home solar companies I've dealt with want to sell you the whole kit (panels, inverter, etc.). If you've done this, I am curious how your experience was.

I've done it for small scale off grid telecom projects in the 10 to 20kW class of total quantity of panels at one site, not actually at my home (which is surrounded by trees on all sides in the pacific northwest, I'd need to build a 40kW ground mount to have any reasonable amount of production). It's completely doable if you study electrical fundamentals but I'd also recommend hiring a pro to help out if you don't have the background.

There is considerable overlap between the knowledge base for -48VDC telecom battery/DC bus/breaker/fuse panel and distribution systems and PV/off grid solar stuff, so using some of the same people who do on-grid rectifier-to-telecom-DC-power-system work was fairly straightforward for us.

GOO. I remember Punter well.

I was so lucky to be able to grow up watching quality shows like this. Thank you PBS (and BBC).

The problem wasn't the AS/400 (IBM i) it was the 5250 interface. That's throwing the baby out with the bath water.

And even then, as with any other UI model, application design plays a massive role.

Voip.ms is great for a simple SIP trunk but it has almost none of the programmable voice and other features of Telnyx or Twilio.

A number of years ago I wanted to drop a webhook when a call came in on VoIP.ms but couldn't find any way to do it natively.

Ended up sticking a twilio endpoint in the ring group with a "press 1 to accept this call" message so it wouldn't eat the call, then was able to fire an http request with the call details.

It worked well, although I admit I was a little annoyed I couldn't do it directly with VoIP.ms.

ah yeah, I'm about to setup a grandstream ht801 for a voip home phone so I probably dont need all that

I think they mean where does one sign up to this newsletter.

I'm knee-deep in the tech newsletter niche and I've never seen an official Tailwind newsletter. The only one I subscribe to is a small, unofficial weekly newsletter by Vivian Guillen:

The only problem is that it seems to have stopped sending in October.

Trixie has been great except for the proprietary nvidia driver. The upgraded 550 driver has known problems with 4k @ 120hz that causes crazy flickering [1].

I tried the 580 bundle with the same problem. I had to revert to the 535 bundle.

Code signing certificates are even worse.
