Considering I was unmanned, and there wasn't really any damage that seems extreme.

I mean this is the same guy whos been selling self-driving cars for the last decade that constantly warn you to never let them self-drive.

Given the behavior wimps are either much lower energy, but a lot of them, or purely virtual artifacts, potentially of quantum effects.

Once you go below a certain threshold the difference becomes less meaningful.

They literally changed the time of day charges so power is a fraction of the cost during the daytime when solar is available.

All they'd have to change is to make the ToD follow solar output if they wanted to keep NEM going.

But that's not what they want, they own the lines, and they want to TAKE every penny they can.

We need to break PGE, sell their lines to regional providers, it's a curse on california.

There's a term in latin for this kind of legal argument:

Unmitigated chutzpah in the first degree.

They do that now.

For pge the distribution fees are 5x the actual generation fees, because while you can get power from other companies, pge owns all the lines and milks them dry.

Everything you're saying is wrong.

We only have a stable grid now because the hottest days produce the most solar to power ac. Our grid would have collapsed otherwise .

In the past we had huge demand swings during the course of a single day, as factories and offices burned power, then people went home to cook food and run their laundry.

Solar helped that greatly, coupled with fracking gas which allowed us to plant ge90 turbines everywhere for nothing and have we extremely dispatchable power for load following.

Especially since bulbs went led and now might generation is much more manageable.

But mentally defective utilities can't do the sane thing and write an API so that EV's can coordinate charging to balance load.

The problem with utilities is that they're stuffed to the gills with the idiot relatives of politicians who couldn't get jobs anywhere else.

They had money rolling in for decades, why would you need a plan?

Same, 48c/96t with 192gb ram.

make -j is fun, htop triggers epilepsy.

Few vms, but tons of Lxc containers, it's like having 1 machine that runs 20 systems in parallel and really fast.

Have containers for dev, for browsing, for wine, the dream finally made manifest.

2024 is going to be a bad, bad year.
