How to prevent snow and debris from building up on the solar panels of a mesh node?

I was looking at the "tipping" mouse trap, a design for which was kindly offered here by Matthias Wandel:
https://woodgears.ca/farm/mousetrap_plans.html

Solar panels can be setup in a similar way. Once there's enough weight on the lever end, the thing tips over, getting rid of snow, debris, etc... If the back end is angled to let snow fall forward, it would let the lever do the work

A simple design requiring no user intervention

I keep forgetting this:
If you're coming across an old *nix box that you haven't used in a while and want to bring up all the users on the system, run this command:

awk -F':' '{ print $1}' /etc/passwd

Almost all *nix systems have awk available and /etc/passwd is the account login file (passwords themselves are usually stored /etc/shadow)

You can also just make yourself a shell script:

#!/bin/sh

awk -F':' '{ print $1}' /etc/passwd

exit
# End script

This style is very popular with log home "kits". They do let you build quicker, but the logs don't typically last that long

This lets moisture get trapped between the logs (note the "well" channel in the middle) which can lead to rot. You'll be spending a lot of time, effort, and money on surface treatments with this style. The treatments themselves aren't that great for your health or the environment

The traditional method needs no treatments since the log dries completely after each storm

Closeup look at the joinery between logs in a cabin. This is the half-angle joint. It's popular because it sheds rain and snow more easily because of the angle, preserving the wood from rot

The gaps between logs later get a mesh lattice fastened and cement applied (that's the yellow/brown stuff you see in new log homes)

The first thing that struck me is the beauty of the scenery. Not only did the animators capture the essence of camping, they were able to translate the aesthetic of nature with staggering completeness

This is the first anime I've seen that has been able to capture that

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Medium is selling the paid walled garden model hard

So basically, they’re now Salon.com from the early days, but with more general content. I’m not sure how I feel about this

When you survive on subscriptions, you push to the front what sells the most. Not necessarily what’s healthy to read
