    Not that I can really think of - there's the adjacent Sauerbraten, but that's a similar vintage!

    You might find the crossover for hot water heating is higher than 0p; your boiler is likely only around 70% efficient. So at 6p/therm for gas, you'd break even with resistive elect…

    I've got it behind a Caddy proxy, which then automagically sorts out Let's Encrypt for me. It works very well there, if that's any help to you?

    > If it makes you more money to be available 24/7 then why wouldn't you? Agreed, but for a government service where you update your license, or tell them about selling a car or som…

    It'd have likely been the equipment in the street. That said, in Winter, you can overload this a bit. After all the failure mode would be the wires getting so hot they begin to mel…

    I mean, the UK has 20+ fibre links to other lands. If one goes down, fine, if a second goes down, it's suspicious. If a third goes down, and there are Russian ships milling about o…

    If & only if Facebook sell access to capacity on the cable publically (They might just keep it for their internal use), and then if any of the providers that the gaming traffic use…

    Your challenge is getting every ISP to accept this. The routing table might fit in the RAM of a typical server, but perhaps not so easily in the RAM of many routers still deployed …

    It's incredible. The engineers who designed and built those spacecraft were brilliant. I'll raise a glass to their work!

    I still believe that device manufacturers should be forced to reveal any keys / similar to load 3rd party firmware onto devices like this, if/when the devices go out of support or …

    Switzerland uses mostly 64kbit DAB+, by the look of the latest observations on https://www.wohnort.org/dab/switzerland.html?PageSpeed=off

    5G almost everywhere? In Scotland? I respectfully beg to differ. There are massive chunks of Scotland which have no cellular reception at all. There are many places where there is …

    Depending on your tolerance for bodges, if you get a dock which supports DisplayLink technology (The Dell D6000s does for example), and then install the DisplayLink manager, you ca…

    In the UK there's a law covering this specific case. Theft is deigned "taking with the intent to permanently deprive", so joyriders were defending their actions by returning the ve…

    At a guess, it'd mean building large slabs of concrete, or tanks of water, or other cheap item with large thermal inertia. Ideally you'd cool these down overnight, or at a period w…

    I can think of an example; the gambling industry. When a large event (such as a big football match, the Grand National, etc) finishes, all the bets will need settling. It's difficu…

    I would suggest looking at Lightsail, if your credits stretch that far. The included 1TB+ of bandwidth is the reason for that. Bridges would typically see much more bursty traffic …

    Is it possible that the interconnects between France and the Netherlands are already at capacity, and therefore the losses from going 'via' UK are less than the energy we'd need to…

    They do, they expose it via an API, so you can use IFTTT (or anything you make that's similar to this) to optimise when you use power. This website does some analysis on the pricin…

    All you need is to glimpse 1 satellite for a short while if you're looking for a roughly accurate time. You need 3 to get a position fix, but fewer will still give you the time.

    It brings you the absence of GET requests and the bandwidth charges on your AWS bill. In this case, 45TB a day is going to add a lot to an AWS bill, you can shift that cost to the …

    I thought they were cheaper due to the better energy efficiency. Less electricity means less cooling required, double whammy!
