I wonder whether you could use GDPR to force compliance with this. You have the right to correct the record, after all.

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 electric heating at around the 10p/kWh mark. You s

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?

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 melt. If you know they're covered in ice, or are curr

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 over the location of the.. yes, there goes a fourth, it

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 in the field. It's a nice idea, but sadly it'll lo

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 service from some-but-not-all providers. Of those places, th

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 can drive 3 external monitors from your Apple M-series laptop.

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 with cheap power, then under regular external tempe

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 difficult to do big swathes at once, since different accounts

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 compared to relays or (especially) exit nodes; this does mea

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 expend to bolster that capacity?

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 pricing: https://www.energy-stats.uk/octopus-

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 user that's downloading the files from you.
