@ketan@climatejustice.social And as we all know this kind of thing was always the domain of grifters anyway, because if never made much real-world sense. Direct air capture being so inefficient that it’s always a better carbon saving to just put the clean energy into the grid to displace fossil fuel use instead of using it to capture a tiny amount of CO2 from the air! We’d have to get to the point where we were curtailing a *huge* surplus of clean energy before it makes sense.

@mojo@aus.social And the best part? According to IMF research tat studied policies of hundreds of countries policies and the results over the last inflationary episode, it turns out trying to control inflation with interest rates doesn’t actually work when it’s caused by external factors (which it is clearly here, and I reckon is actually the case most of the time…). So they’re hurting Aussie families for no reason! https://www.imf.org/en/publications/wp/issues/2025/10/24/navigating-the-2022-inflation-surge-571068

@chad @harald It was a supported distribution channel that just today I find out they seem to have randomly abandoned with zero warning or notice, while they’ve been releasing updates for critical vulnerabilities elsewhere. Thousands of their customers will be relying on this like we were, I’m really quite shocked at Ubiquiti here!

@Gh0stlyM0use@mastodon.social I was so furious when they hobbled the NBN plans after Abbott and Turnbull started their meddling. And all these years later it’s only got very slightly better.

@ShadSterling @infobeautiful Also if you look at the climate, the olive oil region is close to exactly the areas where olives can be easily cultivated.

@gnoll110 @Qldaah On Steven Miles FB post he said Dutton can expect to be paid $130K to attend up to 20 meetings each year.

@theprivacydad@social.linux.pizza That’s what I was hearing from various teenage children of my cousins in Sydney back at Christmas (older cousins’ kids are around that age range). Stuff like “oh she was really sad that she lost her old account” from the parents. They didn’t care that their kids all had new accounts that pretend to be older, both the kids and parents were openly saying that’s what was happening!

@chad Hmm, weird, mine uses the Debian repo and for some reason that's still at 10.0.162... Anyway, just shut it down, I don't actually need it running unless my APs lose power and restart, but the UPS should take care of that.

@cina@fosstodon.org @mullvadnet@mastodon.online That’s how the EC works!

@TechConnectify@mas.to @RyDawg@mstdn.ca Could you use the 240V and an autotransformer to generate the split phase? Like this - https://www.victronenergy.com/autotransformers/autotransformers ? (see the diagrams in the datasheet). Although I guess the 240V mode might be 50 Hz for Europe, Australia etc. so that could cause some problems?

Apparently it’s “incorrect” to believe that higher interest rates could increase inflation, the RBA says. Funny, an IMF study found actually that hiking rates *did* worsen the 2022-2025 inflation episode, with countries that did it ending up with higher peak inflation and it taking longer before inflation started to drop (after the external drivers actually causing it eased). https://www.imf.org/en/publications/wp/issues/2025/10/24/navigating-the-2022-inflation-surge-571068 #inflation #interestrates

Honestly, the arrogance!

@CurbsideShip116 Crazy thing is we’d given them more powers than basically anywhere else in the developed world already, and it didn’t help a single bit…

@decryption@aus.social Haha going full sicko with RF capture is actually something that’s on my todo list! My parents had a bunch of family videos (Hi8 format) converted to DVD but I hope RF could do a better conversion - they lose tracking every now and then and also I hope it’s be possible to do a better deinterlace

@decryption@aus.social I think I have the same one! Mine was branded ‘MagicRaven’

@wallamba@aus.social I got the most recent iPad Air since it seemed to be basically the equivalent as my old Pro (same year as yours if I recall) that it was replacing (feature wise, obviously faster processor). Only thing I miss is Face ID, it has Touch ID on the lock button, but I think that is more just a force of habit thing.

@ash@bne.social It didn’t work last time (according to this working paper from IMF economists). Why do they think it will work now? Their theory is bunkum. https://www.imf.org/en/publications/wp/issues/2025/10/24/navigating-the-2022-inflation-surge-571068

@TechConnectify@mas.to @lambda@chaosfurs.social @agocs@hachyderm.io Yes, I would expect so. It’s not that hard to design a bidirectional inverter/charger, they’re used in stationary battery storage systems too (off-grid, etc.).

@reece@masto.canadiancivil.com We ordered our first EV last month, hoping to pick it up in the next week or two. Don’t have a date yet but I assume it’s already on a ship from China.

@camwilson@mastodon.social Again, there should be no end to the “we told them so”. How did they think it would go any other way?

@leif_oke@techhub.social @calcifer@hackers.town @lambda@chaosfurs.social @TechConnectify@mas.to Deal with it in what way? It’d just be standard 230VAC 50 Hz single phase output in most countries. I would expect the inverter in the car can likely charge from and deliver power to either 110V/60Hz or 230V/50Hz. Probably just a software setting. Then you just need an adaptor with the right plug. Either that, or they would have a special version for US/Japan etc. that use 110V.
