@nixCraft The first box on this diagram is wrong. ext4 does store a file's creation time.

Yesterday was the 5th day in a row of negative electricity cost. Note, not negative in terms of energy use, but negative in terms of cost.#solar #solarpv

(All 5 days were grid-negative as well, but that's not the point)

I don't know if it's still here, but when I was installing new front end load balancers for the Guardian's website, I set them to add the following header to every page served.X-Clacks-Overhead: "GNU Terry Pratchett"I also added this header to every email processed by the commercial junk mail filtering service I ran for nearly 20 years.#GNUTerryPratchettt

This "paying for electricity" lark is rubbish. Might top up the batteries with some 13p electrons overnight as that seems to be likely cheapest.

It occurs to me that I could remove the possibly loop stall bug that I've not seen yet by just running it out of cron. Lock file for safety but I've never seen a loop take more than 20 second or so.

What's the "right" way to run perlbrew-dependent perl scripts out of cron?

@revk I have a SIP number with you. Can I get an eSIM for a random google phone that'd *waves hands* be apparent to that number?

My total energy bill for April is £76.73, down from £130.25 in 2023 and £190.15 in 2022.Current prediction for the year is a bill of £1241.52, which would be £74.46 cheaper than 2023 and £995.85 cheaper than 2022.#solar #solarpv

@simplenomad Engagement, and seeking opinions outside of the echo chamber. The nature of mastodon breeds echo chambers.

@simplenomad Entirely your prerogative and right, I would never be so stupid as to suggest otherwise.I like running my ideas and opinions up against an open audience to test them. I've been proved to be wrong several times.

@simplenomad It's certainly much easier to get into a good argument there than here. I've actually really only had one falling out here, and that was with an actual lawyer - Hi Neil!
