It is extremely flaky on GrapheneOS, at least on my Pixel 8 Pro. Just typing Ctrl-D to exit will corrupt it, requiring a full reinstallation of the Debian VM
The built-in terminal app seems to be similarly flaky on my Pixel 8. Also, the kernel it boots into is really stripped down, and it lacks a ton of essential features. I was not able to install VirtualHere client to pass through USB devices, and there's no built-in functionality. There's also no way to open it full-screen on the Pixel 8's DP-over-USB-C desktop mode. Hopefully it continues to improve, but it seems like Google is more into extracting value than they are improving their products at this point.
Oh wow. I did a very basic test this morning `ping google.com` and then ctrl+c and it seemed to work okay. Not done any more extensive testing than this though.
Could it be that it's just very flaky on all pixel devices? Or maybe something graphene is doing to harden the OS doesn't play nicely with how it's been implemented?
Same. I have protested over email about the Online Safety Act (amongst other things). I get a generic reply after 6-8 weeks with the same talking points.
Legislation like this does not make children safer, it makes everyone else less safe.
I've been following the story for a while and it has never been adequately explained by mainstream media. Consider this... They drove for over an hour in the middle of the night in foul weather to a remote location to cut down a particular tree. That suggests some preplanning.
This is exactly what I want, but don't really want to run Docker all the time. Nicer git worktrees and isolation of code so I can run multiple agents. It even has the setup command stuff so "npm install" runs automatically.
I'll check this out for sure! I just wish it used bubblewrap or the macos equivalent instead of reaching for containers.
I have also been enjoying having an IDE open so I can interact with the agents as they're working, and not just "fire and forget" and check back in a while. I've only been experimenting with this for a couple of days though, so maybe I'm just not trusting enough of it yet.
Sample size of 1, but I have a friend who does buy the refills and charges the original unit. Every shop that sells the combination units also seems to sell the refills (at least around here).
> The batteries can fill up on the off-peak rate overnight at £0.07/kWh, and then export it during the peak rate for £0.15/kWh, meaning any excess solar production or battery capacity can be exported for a reasonable amount.
Honestly I didn't know this was allowed.
I recently got a heat pump and am on a time-of-use tariff (https://octopus.energy/smart/cosy-octopus/) and have been thinking about pulling the plug on battery storage for a similar purpose (charge during the cheap hours; run the house off battery during the day). I am currently using between 40-50kWh per day - anyone have similar usage to this and can recommend batteries for this?
A word of caution:
It's worth factoring in battery depreciation. That 7p→15p arbitrage isn’t "free" profit: you pay round-trip losses and you burn cycle life. If you assume ~£X installed, ~Y usable kWh, ~Z cycles to 70–80% capacity, the wear cost alone is often several pence per kWh throughput, which can wipe out most of the spread.
The only restriction placed on you is the export rate, which is provided to you by the DNO here in the UK. We had a limit of 3.8kW placed, which is programmed in to the batteries by the installer.
I just had Solaredge battery installed in my house in the UK (Had a solaredge PV and inverter so made sense even tho it was more than other setups). If you are up for a challenge https://springfall2008.github.io/batpred/ is AMAZING and basically optimises when to charge and discharge your battery.
I've got a heat pump and think my paypack period is going to be about 6 years.
Hit me up on bluesky (in profile) if you want more info!
Yeah not sure really. I thought these time of use tariffs were intended for charging EVs and using heat pumps, not charging batteries and selling the energy straight back to them later on in the day. But when you put it like that (decentralised grid storage) I guess it makes sense.
It benefits the grid to have people consume extra power when there's an oversupply, store it and give it back when there's undersupply. Why shouldn't it be allowed (even encouraged)?
I'm definitely coming round on the idea of a heat pump. My house was built in 2002 and still has the original gas boiler that was installed from then. I'm hopeful that I have enough insulation, but I've been told I may have microbore piping which might need to be upgraded. Not done much more research on it than that.
Also apparently my gas boiler has an air brick that's too close to the output for the boiler on the outside of the house, so they'd have to install a bigger flue that goes halfway up the house.
From what I've heard the installation cost (even with £10k subsidy) will still be minimum £5k compared to a new gas boiler of £2.5-3k.
After everything that's happened with the gas prices in the past 3 years, I'm very eager to remove that dependency from my house. Now we just need to decouple the gas prices from the renewable energy prices so we can start to see those lower prices to the home. One can dream.
