Mt Isa Mines when done is a good spot, and as a bonus you largely get to avoid issues with indigenous opposition since the area is already suitably dug up.

Absolutely disastrous policy decision.

I found it quite helpful at times. Learning in my own projects, and some professional things that I got stuck on I found some incredible help at times.

In my niche, we also had an absolute dictator of a moderator who was a condescending jerk online. Open belittling of people asking questions, connecting new questions to those which had been asked years ago in a different part of the stack and then closing the question, etc. Real tin pot tyrant nonsense, and frankly, a bully.

There was a day where I saw they had been denied a role they interviewed for since they posted about it. I already knew they were in my city. It was a role I had advertised and was the chair for. Im still not sure exactly which candidate, but have my suspicions. In any case, bullet dodged.

Still likely to be GPU intensive even with relinking

13kW on the roof and a 48kW battery. It produces on cloudy days, and battery alone can last 3-4 days with regular unmoderated use with 6 adults at home. That includes split system air-conditioners on eco mode.

It produces enough on cloudy days to still.top the batteries up to full.

I had a day recently where production topped 80kW and was exporting bulk before late afternoon grid production limiting kicked in. That's a lot of juice, and Ive basically not touched the grid in 7 months.

Now is this an unanticipated fault, or is the phone preventing some shady happenings, as that mode is designed to do?

That's perilously close to a standard door key, and thats way too much security compared to these certs.

Rural lost almost all of the good will, and foe good reason. It was a dumpster fire with a half arsed ecosystem of extensions. During that period WordPress was flourishing, listening to users, and making sure administration was a lot easier.

Saying that Drupal is better than it has ever been is not much of a statement. It still isnt as easily extensible due to having a smaller community of contributors as an after effect of mismanagement.

I hope they have improved, but their reputation has been earned repeatedly.

Having been a diver on the Great Barrier Reef numerous times, the scale of bleaching events means that there is often no non-bleached neighbour for vast distances. Healthy propagation rarely occurs before the brown sludge sets in, then its game over.

Apps like photopea exist because of client side processing. They shift cost to client compute and that makes them supportable by indie devs.

I'd wager we will start to see more web apps like this have greater obfuscation and dependencies on operating on a particular domain. Sure AI can help to circumvent many things, but at a certain point they pay-off may not be worth the effort.

I reckon you might be asking for a little too much from a single web dev there.
