TFA, and other articles I can find about Heron's Nest install, just refer to a 'battery' (255kWh) but don't mention type. So I'm assuming it's a Li-ion variant. But with several dozen home's worth, it feel

Chill hours I thought were anything under 10 degrees (Celsius, of course), but I gather officially it's probably closer to 7 or 8 degrees. Sub-zero isn't necessary, in any case. You're right that they've doubtless been s

Oh, look, I get that it's a laudable goal, my point here is that we don't have that arrangement now. The nice thing about EU doing the heavy lifting on some of these tendentious subjects is that the rest of us often get to (eventu

Your point seems to come down to this argument, which I don't believe is in good faith (I don't believe the vendors are acting terribly laudably, either, but that's a separate issue). > Sure, in a strictly literal, legal s

Some good points, and I appreciate there are two semi-disparate domains here. Local interface monitoring addresses a different problem than network monitoring. I'd argue your advantages perhaps - you do need local root, or at least n

As noted, I don't believe you have consensus on the 'literally every industry' interpretation and use of the word defect. But even so, you seem to be claiming that the product doesn't match "stated specifications,

I played with Elastiflow extensively some years ago - it was excellent, if a little hungry on memory, but I suspect most of that was the logstash & elasticsearch overhead. Rob did a big rewrite about 4 years ago, I think, licensing the

Nowadays? The protocols haven't changed, but you may mean that pipes are getting bigger while compute/storage aren't keeping up, so network admins are more likely to opt for sampling over raw/full. If you want to see eve

These tools are interesting to play with but I'd prefer to leverage netflows, which are designed for this purpose. Netflow gives you protocol types, src/dst ip & port, packet & byte counts, qos/tos, and more - much
