The point is apparently being missed. There has been a long standing request to split Germany into multiple price zones[1], because Germany as a single zone does not adequately mat…

Don't tell the UK they aren't supposed to be getting >15% of grid power via solar panels, because it's more efficient if the panels are in Spain.

> similar as in Sweden -- which has 4 bidding zones.

Ah, that's nice to hear. This also means we won't have to have another type of hardware on grid, since the batteries can make this work.

They could also just split the Germany into multiple bidding zones, then north parts of Germany would have a lot of cheap wind power, similar as in Sweden.

No, these are two different things. One is stability market, where batteries are now king, the other is physics of fault ride-through, where actual physical inertia is a real necce…

It is, but you have to read it and you need some degree of prior knowledge to understand it correctly, as with everything.

That's some serious cherrypicking. Where CAL27 low is either limited interconnectors (Nordics and Spain) or major nuclear (France). The other countries have CAL27 over 80 eur.

Ha, yes, a lot of deniers/delayers are going on about how Germany "wasted" billion on renewables, when in fact they had a booming solar industry, which got nuked by politicians, wh…

Yeah, if you're buying a new car, electric makes sense if at all possible. But a lot of people are not buying new cars, because new cars are not cheap. There's a saying that a new …

They were deregulated on highway for a very long time. Deregulation came to off-highway in 2020 as the loss of demand due to covid made the prices drop. Rusian invasion of Ukraine …

The problem with getting rid of oil is that cars currently in use will be usable even when over 20 years old, replacing them with EVs is expensive, and the good enough and economic…

Yes, but it is not enough. It helps a lot when sunny, and weekend mid-day gross market prices for electricity hover just above zero, but there's not enough batteries, flexibility, …

It's not a free market. Off-highway prices are regulated and were adjusted by the executive govt branch on biweekly basis, now switched to weekly. Slovenia is small and "gas touris…

Not true. No new car is cheap, and electricity is now cheaper than gas or diesel.

Don't you ever complain about that regulation which will require [x] on window corner to cancel-close.

Just spraying dust with water will not remove it. Detergent helps, but most of the cleaning effect is done by mechanical agitation, eg. wiping the glass.

Yep, on a mountain. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1124478_world-s-largest... Also, there's a similar train in development/roll-out - https://www.theautopian.com/a-mining-com…

The problem here begins even before the mathematical issue - it's that web sites that live from listing bookings have an incentive to offer a way to delete reviews that are not in …

Also, it was a very very different landscape. You were commonly given a network uplink and a list of public IP addresses you were to set up on your box or boxes. IPMI/BMC were not …

You can't be fired, but you burn through your runway quicker. No matter which option you choose, there is some exothermic oxidative process involved.

Synology does not use vanilla btrfs, they use a modified btrfs that runs over mdraid mirror, which somehow communicates with btrfs layer to supposedly fix errors, when they occur. …

It's not legally required in terms of law, but it is legally required in the way that the legal department will complain if the banner not there. Checklists and all that. ;)

Handcount in Slovenia, first count done on local polling location, with a recount done by a central election comission and certification of the result. It works. edit: First result…

8-bit bytes were not inevitable, but they are definitely not natural and they were designed. Clearly this design outcompeted alternatives.
