Symlinks

Okay, I'm going through this one last time, as I never seem to get it right:

ln -s "where the binary really is" "where you want it to be"

# here's an example for Sublime Text, my current editor

ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/subl

CSRD Performance Refactor — August 2026 Rebase Plan

Background

PR #122 (csrd-performance-refactor branch) introduced significant performance improvements to CSRD document processing (~8–43x faster). The branch was based on commit a66e68c (main at the time of the PR). Since then, main has moved forward 48+ commits, including:

• Guarded imports for arelle (the csrd extra) with _require_arelle() /

Exporting temperature data from IKEA Dirigera hub to CSV

Exporting Temperature Data from IKEA Dirigera to CSV

This guide covers how to install the ikea CLI, authenticate with your Dirigera hub, and export all temperature readings from your Alpstuga sensors into CSV files. Useful as documented evidence for a rent reduction (Mietminderung) claim.

Note: This uses the unofficial ikea-dirigera-client library. It is not affiliated with IKEA. A future hub firmware update could break it.

Energy Disclosure Standard for AI Providers

Executive Summary

This document defines a standard for AI providers (such as Mistral) to disclose energy consumption and carbon emissions data through their APIs. The goal is to enable clients to track and report the environmental impact of AI usage.

Background

AI model inference consumes significant energy. Users and organizations increasingly want visibility into:

• Energy consumption (joules, watt-hours, kilowatt-hours)

CSRD Code Review - Performance Analysis and Optimization Opportunities

Summary

The CSRD document processing code in the carbon-txt-validator has several performance bottlenecks that can be addressed to improve speed and resource utilization. The main issues revolve around Arelle initialization, file loading, and redundant processing.

Current Performance Issues

1. Arelle Session Initialization Overhead

Dear Chris Adams,

We are contacting you because you previously participated in a study on data centre sustainability (EUDCEAR) or you were suggested as potentially interested stakeholder for the topic. The findings of the previous study informed two technical reports which are available online (Report 1, Report 2) and helped identify key priorities for a sustainable data centre sector in the EU.

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the next phase of stakeholder consultation for a new study contracted by the European Commission Directorate-General for Energy (DG ENE

Proposal: Energy Tracking as a First-Class Citizen in OpenCode

Summary

This proposal adds native energy and carbon tracking to OpenCode by:

1. Capturing measured energy data from providers that supply it (GreenPT, Neuralwatt)
2. Estimating energy for providers that don't measure it
3. Storing energy data alongside existing token/cost data
4. Providing plugin hooks for customization and external integration
