Love the way that Ukraine- you know, the actual country that was invaded and has been fighting back all this time - is conspicuously absent from these headlines.

    Great and all, but this is a literal press release. It could be PR spruiking, it could be pump’n’dump play, it could be friggin genuinely great. No way to know from a press release.

    This is one area where Apple has it pretty right. A Mac will do somethings when ‘asleep’ like download emails and texts. It also can broadcast its location if the ‘Find Me’ function is on. If it’s plugged into power then backups will also run, and background app updates will happen. It does this in a low power mode, so it won’t get hot enough to need fans. It’s worked flawlessly for 20 years. Meanwhile all our PCs are set to ‘never sleep’ and just get shutdown when not in use. I never trust a PC laptop to wake successfully from sleep just by closing the lid.

    It’s not even quite that - the article suggested they raised the commercial equivalent of the 12% through competitive auction. These allow the bidders a set price over 20 years.

    So it’s cheaper than buying in fossil fuels, the suppliers get certainty, and they achieve close to complete decarbonisation using private investment.

    How good is that?

    Browsing through the federated list of communities, it's interesting to see the local Aussie Zone ones so active compared to most. I'm sure we're not seeing every thing, but I imagine that most of the more active communities will be federated here.

    Big props to Lodion for getting things off the ground. What a legend! And good on everyone here for getting on board so quickly. You're all bloody legends too!
