Correct. TrueNAS uses Samba, which has supported this for a while. On TrueNAS it also creates a ZFS snapshot after a successful TimeMachine backup which is really nice for the times MacOS decides to corrupt a TimeMachine volume for no apparent reason.

And domestic providers like Octopus are also incentivising voluntary reduction (e.g. during saving sessions, which were National Grid experiments), or consumption when there is a glut of renewables with free energy, so if people want to save money they CAN load shift.

And with more and more houses installing solar and battery, opting into shoring up the grid for a decent uplift in standard export rates would be of interest to many.

I use Octopus in NZ and I’m a big fan of what they’re doing compared to a lot of our other electricity retailers. Savings sessions in particular are great with a beefy home battery because exporting counts in the comparison average. Those are easy money-making opportunities for us.

Indeed - we don't know all of the mechanisms of Tylenol, yet we know it works, and is safe when taken as directed.

Especially as it has planning permission for two dwellings - a 5 bed house where the pool currently is, and a three bed house where the workshop is located.

Hopefully its not bought just to be turned into apartments and the tunnels sealed off with concrete.

What is wrong with creating more housing for more people? Seems like something the UK could use right now.

It's more likely they wanted to buy something that isn't able to be purchased with food stamps. Probably alcohol. Or smokes. Something to let them journey to oblivion and blot out their reality.

Nah, I've seen people like that too, and that's not the guys I ran into. Were I to stereotype, they looked more like gangbangers than strung out druggies.

They likely accepted the food stamps in exchange for...let's call it, recreational substances and this is how they turned it back into cash.

Except Intel has Fab 34 in Ireland which would say it's not borderline impossible.

Ireland is a very different jurisdiction.

Very different from Europe? It is part of Europe.

Legally.

Yes, legally and geographically and in every other way Ireland is part of Europe.

temu sans is beautifully on point

More subtle keming adjustments so that the font looks just slightly "off" would be great too.

Love the Temu variation. You can just use a ‘Chinese’ font and type roman text as well. Most of these fonts use a fixed width for Chinese glyphs, as wel as for the western characters, so i,l,f etc all have ‘extra’ white space around them, resulting in the ‘Temu’ effect, it is absolutely everywhere here in China.

Thanks, I always wondered why this was the case with latin text from CJK countries, as they use the same computers and software than the west, they should be able to do kerning right. I guess the original designers of those fonts are to blame for not making the latin characters "properly" monospace so that it still works.

Can give the designers some slack, drawing 5000+ gliphs is not an easy task.

The latin part of CJK fonts is often some crappy Times clone that they throw in as an afterthought.

Ah, so that's why. Do the big Chinese companies handle this well? Alibaba, perhaps? Huawei, surely? By owning the packaging and shipping?

Very dean and modem

I saw what you did there

It's an existing joke: https://www.reddit.com/r/keming/

I'm old enough to remember newspaper articles with kerning like that.

And the general store also has bottles of wine costing 10-30 a bottle. I did always chuckle at the bottles of 1972 Petrus in the "fancy wine" section.

I'd have to push back on that somewhat. When I worked there I saw all sorts of people emerging from the flats around the power station. Young familes, young professionals, none of them appeared "wealth obsessed".

In fact, looking at rents on RightMove, it's not out of whack with typical rents for a nice area of London.

Let us not forget this area of London (Nine Elms) was previously a pretty grotty industrial wasteland that you tended not to go to, and the power station itself was at risk of collapse.
