At some point I might also hook up the battery charge meter to a public site for slrpnk.net. Currently we are at 88% and charging, but this website does have a failover to grid-power if the battery charge drops below 20%.

A similar concept : https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/

I want to do this so bad. I really just need to take the jump and start doing it rather than researching it. I wish there were a step-by-step, teach me like I'm in fifth grade, sorta tutorial on it.

I was interested to see that there's an unexplained dip in battery visible on the status page:

I wondered if it was due to a lot of traffic (bots/DDOS/Slashdot effect) but then I noticed it's behind Cloudflare (~~cheating a bit, surely?~~).

edit: I'd missed the bit where he says he doesn't use the caching:

I use Cloudflare's DNS proxy, which handles DNS and offers basic DDoS protection. However, I do not use Cloudflare's caching or CDN features, as that would somewhat defeat the purpose of running this website on solar power and keeping it local-first.
