Blog ≫ 2024 ≫ I have simplified my energy usage graph a bit

Simplified the graph I put on here a bit, dropping some features, and reducing the size of the code. I'm not so interested in the "how much it has used while I was asleep" value now, so removing that. Also simplified how I display what was peak usage. Will have to see if it still works when we next have some free energy 1.

Here's a snapshot of how it looked before I changed it, just for posterity

and here's a snapshot of the smaller version. It's about 30% less code 40% less code by also deduplicating some of the points:
