Oh hi there person who I've upset by expressing my opinion who is now wanting to go back through my post history to find something to use against me! If you're reading this, it's because you've already lost the argument :)

  • Nah not possible to remove from the grid unfortunately.

  • Three months into Australia’s world-first social media ban for under-16s, has it been a success?

    Jump

  • Although getting under 16s off social media wasn’t really the point, getting close to the digital id was - so in that regard yes, it is a success unfortunately.

  • Yeah I’ve got a 42kWh battery and even with Amber I couldn’t make enough from feed-in to cancel out the subscription and daily connection fee. The average feed in rate I got over a month was a smidge over 6c/kWh. Not terrible but far below what some people make out that you’ll get.

    Not to mention Amber’s “smartshift” “AI” is garbage, regularly leaving me with not enough battery to comfortable make it through the night, and then having to buy from the grid for hours.

    I’ve switched to GloBird and their plan seems much better for me. I can fill the battery almost from empty to full in the 3 hours of free electricity, then they pay me $1/day for every day I don’t draw from the grid between 6-8pm, and pay 6c/kWh feed in (more if you can get on their VPP which I can’t). So now I set it up to charge for 3 goes every day, and export 7kWh every day, which covers their $1.42 daily supply fee. $0 bills here I come.

    As an aside - how on earth can someone only use 7-9kWh a day? My pool filter/pump uses that much alone.

  • and switch to smaller hybrids and/or EVs.

    The result of that would be significantly more strain on the grid, and even more increases in power prices. Yay.

    I love EV's and my next car will be one, but we need to get our power grid shitshow sorted before any significant percentage of people get EVs or we'll be up a creek without a paddle.

  • Fwiw a 50 kWh system is insanely excessive for most people.

    Nah, the 50kWh is borderline the smallest any family of 2+ should go. My household uses about 15-20kWh minimum between sun down and sun up, and we do all our washing etc during the day. We've got a 42kWh battery and it's not even close to being enough for 2 days with no solar generation. Unless the battery is over 50% by sun down I'm not confident in it lasting until solar kicks in the next day without being careful with our usage.

    10kWh can be less than an hour of ducted AC. It can be cooking dinner on the stove/oven for an hour with the tv and fans on. 10kWh isn't close to enough for a family, and it would be hard to make it financially worth it. Would take 10 years to pay itself off, then it's out of warranty with diminished capacity before it starts to provide any return on investment.

  • How do you effectively backup your high capacity (20+ TB) local NAS?

  • So being encrypted before transmission and at rest isn't enough simply because someone at backblaze can send the encrypted files out to you on a HDD........

    lol

  • 500kWh......that's it? That's only 10x my home battery, and it's supposed to help a whole community? This would give 50 houses 10kWh each, so about 2 hours of power if they have their air-conditioning on lol. Less if they're using it for heating.

    Sorry but a 500kWh battery is borderline pointless for a community battery.

  • A significant portion of the people of this town genuinely thought that this battery was going to catch fire

    You are aware that this is a risk with batteries like this, right? Right?

  • So your whole point is that you shouldn't trust one of the biggest cloud backup companies on the planet when they say that your data is encrypted, with no proof that they're telling lies...........and you're asking me to prove that they're telling the truth?

    The onus is on you to prove that they're telling lies, not on me to prove what they say is true.

    They say this about computer backup on one of the pages I linked earlier:

    Computer Backup Encryption

    Data is encrypted on your computer—during transmission and while stored. Block unauthorized users from accessing your data by using a Personal Encryption Key (PEK) or use a 2048-bit public/private key to secure a symmetric AES-128 key. Data is transferred via HTTPS. Enhance your protection with two-factor verification via a TOTP (Time-based One Time Password).

    Is that all a lie? Based on what?

  • There's no lie in the bolded part though lol. He was told what he had to do or he could be charged. That means that if he doesn't do it, he can be charged.

    Again - what lie did the police tell?

  • Time is money, and the time it would take to keep those backups up to date is not worth it over cloud backups.
