Maybe different in other countries, but in Australia your mortgage payments go up as interest rates rise. So over the life time of the loan you will likely pay more/the same in real terms. And this ignores the lack of wage growth.

And sadly union bureaucracies have taken the form of originally pro-worker political parties that no longer hold workers best interests ahead of their own. Example, Australian Labor Party, currently in power, and the first to proclaim its &

That might work for some but moving away from common infrastructure creates other problems. I found this video [0] a decent dive into issues and possible long term solutions. None quick or easy but I think are most likely to succeed in a lo

Any ideas if the HomePod Mini (probably the most popular Thread border router) grant broader internet access to Thread devices on the mesh network? I can't find any clear info about how this might work or how to test.

Found the same thing when was comparing AWS/Azure to fixed prices providers. When I then looked into it further I found AWS/Azure provided “recommendations” when you selected “production” workloads which was grossly overpriced. He

So if they quit, are you saying the company to refuse to hire a replacement from the US/EU due to some purely budget related limit? That is definitely not my experience working with a few remote first companies. They will try to find a

There is absolutely a self hosting option with Discourse, and in fact they encourage it. [0] Here is their install guide [1] [0] https://github.com/discourse/discourse [1] https://github.com/discourse&#

It absolutely can be, in Australia we have several players involved and from what I understand, integration is dictated by the network operator. Eg, provided the battery used supports VPP, you can join under a number of different providers

I tend to have a compose file that is designed to be used with `envsubst` for deployment via the CI, so a CI specific template. This way the CI can create the final file and `scp` it over to the host before calling `docker compose up`. The

I wasn't aware of PgBackRest, something will definitely keep in mind when offering alternatives to managed services, thank you! 30s is perfectly respectable, and something I will definitely start testing out as a sidecar container to P

Litestream is simpler for backups/disaster recovery. pg_dump -> S3 gives you a snapshot, but you then have to start worrying about time windows between backups and restore processes. Litestream does per second backups enabling point

"easily deploy Postgres", how easy? What are the point in time restores like? One of the advantages of SQLite is its portability, so why wouldn't I compare it to Hetzner cloud since my experience of hosting is _exactly_ the s

Do you mean the `HA db-f1-micro` or are we looking at a different pricing chart? I have a hard time believing that would even get close to double of the single db-f1-micro, and limits on memory would still impact both. SQLite can perform e

Postgres is a great default, no doubt, but it is still more complex to setup and maintain OR much more expensive to use as a managed offering than SQLite. Postgres extension upgrades can get pretty hairy, even on managed services. SQLite is

A lot of projects will never need beyond the scale that a SQLite host can offer, and gain from the lower bills and simplicity of a single host. $8/month of GCP gives you 0.6GB memory and a single shared vCPU (no SLA), and you still nee

Where in Australia did you live? No where I can find “regularly” hits above 48.9 degrees Celsius. The reference, the hottest recorded temperature in Australia is 123.2F (50.7c). Yes it gets into the 40s pretty regularly in a lot of places i

Spot on. The cost is definitely the main issue IMO. I think they make for great option for home backup/offgrid use mainly due to their crazy high cycles like you pointed out. An Australian company (Zenaji) sells a solution with a warra

Lithium Titanate (LTO) is the only lithium based home battery I would feel comfortable with but same sentiment on safety. The chance of thermal runaway is low but results are catastrophic.

Hopefully this will help people realize it will be a lot more impactful to reduce GHG emissions as a priority rather than focusing on trying to capture and store the growing output. Yes both can help, but first stop the bleeding.

While LiFePO4 is a safer chemistry than batteries using NMC, they can absolutely still catch fire. The only Lithium based chemistry that I know off that you might be able to describe as "don't catch fire" is Lithium Titanat

Yup, this is why the line of “net zero” and “offsets” is another delay/distraction tactic. This is still the crucial decade for GHG reductions and it seems like every country is just ignoring the starting gun instead of running.
