[00:12:03] <c0lo> kolie, takes too long and the nuke power from the grid will be moar expensive than what *my* PV can generate and *my* battery can store - the cost for those dove down, even more so since Trump's tariff brouhaha with China.
[00:12:04] <c0lo> The powergrid-er have been greedy about 10 years back and jacked up prices for the electricity to the point in which lotsa Aussies started to buy PV.
[00:14:47] <kolie> Well until the entire grid can be operated by cells and backed by batteries seems like turning on nukes is proven. PV critical mass is like ipv6 adoption
[00:15:57] <kolie> Silly thing is they are turning off viable plants.
[00:17:05] <kolie> What's the cheapest source of electricity in france?
[00:17:09] <c0lo> "until the entire grid can be operated by cells and backed by batteries" - that's, like, 5 years from now. Too short a time to build nukes, and by the time you build them, they'll stay mostly unused.
[00:17:29] <kolie> I'll believe it if I see it in 2030.
[00:17:57] <kolie> Seems wildly optimistic to me.
[00:18:52] <c0lo> kolie https://reneweconomy.com.au
[00:18:57] <systemd> ^ 03Just a moment...
[00:19:03] <kolie> I know of australias pv projects.
[00:20:04] <c0lo> This letting aside the "distributed storage" in the backyard of many Aussie homes.
[00:20:48] <c0lo> "the cheapest source of electricity in france" lemme guess... solar power from Spain?
[00:21:35] <kolie> Exercise left to the reader.
[00:23:55] <c0lo> Joker right to the reader
[00:23:55] <c0lo> Meanwhile, we're stuck in the middle with kolie
[00:23:56] <c0lo> :grin:

[01:00:27] <kolie> bendie is cycling.
[01:00:42] <chromas> the daily 'bate
[01:01:44] -!- Loggie [Loggie!Loggie@Soylent/BotArmy] has joined #soylent
[01:01:50] <chromas> aussies are bots too I guess
[01:02:03] <kolie> via the kiwi connection let me see what triggers that.
[01:03:22] <kolie> kiwi does indeed get cycled didn't know that it was uhh, routing a persistent connection I Guess it does via the web socket probably cant ake that off the reset list.
[01:04:08] <chromas> also the mail server too
[01:04:17] <kolie> mail server was intended to be cycled.
[01:04:40] <kolie> causing you issues?
[01:05:35] <chromas> for some retarded reason network manager puts a line into resolv.conf or something that points it elsewhere so when I should get a notification about mailserver being broken, instead it complains that the credentials are wrong
[01:05:55] <chromas> well that line's gone and it still does it
[01:06:04] <chromas> freedesktop--
[01:06:04] <bender> freedesktop: -1
[01:06:10] <kolie> it uhh
[01:06:20] <kolie> probably has to do with the SSL termination
[01:06:30] <kolie> going via traefik and not the mail host while its off
[01:06:32] <chromas> the line would make sense if the dns didn't resolve, but as long as that works it should just not connect
[01:06:50] <kolie> I imagine something along those lines.
[01:07:27] <kolie> I use tbird and it doesn't trigger any weird errors during the cycle time.
[01:07:47] <chromas> some retardation on my setup

[02:42:35] <c0lo> kiwis may be bots to be cycled, but aussies ain't bots

[06:55:59] <chromas> oh good, Qualcomm bought up Arduino. That's a good thing....right?
[06:56:29] <chromas> from the better-than-broadcom dept.
[06:56:39] <ted-ious> It will be good for a few shareholders and bad for every other human on earth.

[06:57:01] <systemd> ^ 03Children could kill with catapults, farmer warns
[06:57:27] <chromas> Ignore catapult; embrace trebuchet
[06:57:41] <ted-ious> Campaigners want to ban the sale of catapults to under 18s, as young people are inflicting wildlife, animals and people with devastating injuries.
[06:57:58] <ted-ious> I guess this is what happens when you ban guns.
[06:58:35] <ted-ious> Kids will just switch to medieval siege weapons.
[06:58:36] <chromas> So children can't have catapults, but the gangbangers will still be running around launching kitties
[06:58:59] <ted-ious> In the UK catapults are not illegal to own or carry in public with the government saying it is keeping all relevant legislation under review.
[06:59:19] <chromas> or use them to launch the nevrons out of town
[06:59:29] <ted-ious> Oy mate is that a catapult in your pocket?
[07:00:16] <chromas> "But if used to harm people, animals or property, their use could be illegal under existing laws."
[07:00:28] <chromas> So what's the problem? Using a tool to hurt people isn't illegal enough?
[07:00:52] <ted-ious> If this is how desperate the uk government is to manufacture an excuse to oppress its indiginous population I expect the revolution to begin presently.
[07:01:07] <chromas> They're too occupied
[07:01:14] <chromas> all going to jail for mean tweets
[07:02:29] <ted-ious> I guess it sounds better to them to charge a kid with 27 crimes instead of just a ￡200 fine.
[07:04:12] <ted-ious> A woman is claiming that catapults are being used to poach rare birds.
[07:04:35] <ted-ious> I guarantee no actual britton is doing that.
[07:06:59] <ted-ious> Wait a minute.
[07:07:12] <ted-ious> Tue truth is hidden in a small grainy photo.
[07:07:56] <ted-ious> Sgt Wilshaw is standing in front of a police car in a field, where he is holding several catapults and ball bearings
[07:08:03] <ted-ious> No he isn't.
[07:08:14] <ted-ious> He's holding several slingshots.
[07:09:16] <chromas> Regional terminology maybe?
[07:12:56] <ted-ious> Didn't britons invent catapults in the first place?
[07:13:11] <ted-ious> How can they be confused about this terminology?
[07:13:32] <chromas> They also allegedly invented English; doesn't mean they know how to use it.

[07:16:45] <systemd> ^ 032 stroke F1 Car 😱😍
[07:29:43] <halibut> For what it is worth: https://en.wikipedia.org <-- ``Other names include catapult (United Kingdom) ...''
[07:29:44] <systemd> ^ 03Slingshot - Wikipedia
[07:34:13] <ted-ious> America should conquer england and spread our superior language to their islands.
[07:34:36] <ted-ious> They obviously don't know how to speak proper english there.
[08:01:15] <Ingar> english is like broken dutch infused with french
[08:07:56] <janrinok> oh, the battle lines are being drawn
[08:22:00] <ted-ious> I thought dutch was dollar store german?
[08:23:29] <chromas> dutch is american deutsch
[08:23:43] * janrinok unpacks his catapult and tin of 'perfect' stones as ammo
[08:25:39] <chromas> We just need to get a slingshot that launches tiny catapults
[08:26:29] <janrinok> no, that would be better served with a trebuchet
[08:26:45] <Ingar> ted-ious: dutch is german with all the silly difficult stuff removed
[08:26:59] <Ingar> less gender issues, no umlaut, less letters
[08:27:12] <chromas> do they hyphenate the longwordphrasen?
[08:27:20] <janrinok> that way, if you put all the tiny catapults into a bag you might even be able to kill one of the opposition before they have a chance to unpack it
[08:27:30] <Ingar> chromas: no we have can do word rigging as well
[08:27:51] <Ingar> chromas: hottentottententententoonstelling is a real word
[08:27:51] <chromas> good point. trebuchets are better because they're not being banned by karens
[08:29:20] * janrinok wonders how far one could fire a karen - but that is probably banned by the Geneva Conv as cruel punishment
[08:29:39] <chromas> Just redefine it as not cruel
[08:30:02] <janrinok> that is almost a given, it would be a karen after all...
[08:38:47] <janrinok> "America should conquer england and spread our superior language to their islands." They can't even speak the same language as the natives of their own country.
[08:42:24] <chromas> That's why we need to conquer them
[09:02:31] <c0lo> If the kids can carry catapults, are adult UKians allowed to carry moats?
[09:14:15] <chromas> Only if they're pessimistic about the contents
