Just learned this nice little life-hack for disconnecting MC4 Solar connectors 👌 Works really well! And I don’t have to buy a special little MC4 assembly tool 🥳
I thought that YouTube finally destroyed all the feeds, because I didn’t get any new entries in my newsreader for days. Now I realized that Newsboat somehow just froze. No idea what happened. This is the very first time ever in all those years. Haven’t updated the version for literally years. I reckon I will compile the upcoming version then.
