I think Project Zero would count as offensive work in this regard; they are actively trying to find problems in other systems, rather than trying to stop other people trying to find problems in their systems.

Also relevant, houses aren't boiling a kettle and running their oven 24x7, so this is more like worst-case peak load and will be spread across different houses. Having some kind of battery storage closer to the houses will help a lot

No affiliation, I just thought this was an interesting approach. They publish the prices the previous day, in 30-minute blocks based on the wholesale prices, and add an uplift in the evenings to encourage people to change their usage patte

You have a sale. Maybe the most expensive mug I've ever bought :) I look forward to it.

I don't know the numbers, but I would guess that more people sit NodeJS servers behind a CDN or proxy of some kind than PHP, making it potentially harder to identify.

From a quick look at the code, it seems to be doing something similar, except it does it for you. Here's a link to the Firefox bit, where it makes a custom Firefox profile and then injects a certificate into it: https://gi

I really like that this weighs the cat; having regular, non-intrusive cat health metrics is particularly useful. Weight change can be a sign of a variety of other issues, but also probably a bunch of non-issues, so _only_ weighing a cat on
