energymadeeasy is a government website that lets you compare electricty and gas plans from different companies and find the best deals
however the numbskulls have changed the site and it now apparently has no way to exclude plans that only apply if you have solar panels feeding into the electricty grid. thus the results in no way resemble what deal i can actually get, even though you have to type in your meter number and address to search the deals.

"Whatβs interesting about this backend is that it will play a role in our plan to replace the old bootstrap compiler implementation and, perhaps even more interestingly, it will allow Zig to target architectures not supported by LLVM, including ones that force you to use a specific C
compiler, like certain game console platforms"

duckduckfedi i have fake wooden floorboards (made out of bamboo) in my apartment. i was wondering how to seal them so they don't breathe and release moisture into the apartment at night when the doors are closed. is them robust some natural substance i could paint or apply onto them so they are sealed against absorption of air or moisture?
