Transpower warns of possible power shortages on Friday
  • I believe a portion of it is quite a low forecast for wind generation coinciding pretty closely with the morning peak.

    The peak-trough consumption difference seems to be about 2GW, and wind generation averages about 400MW but can hit 900MW

    If you wanna poke around with some historical data yourself, I scrape a lot of it for my own curiosity, and have opened up my dashboard

  • New KiwiRail tracks too narrow for trains
  • I would caution that there's a fair gap between "don't need expansion joints" and "don't have heat restrictions". A few days a year of heat restrictions could be considered a reasonable engineering trade-off, if it manages costs

  • Apple says BMW wireless chargers really are messing with iPhone 15s
  • Disagree.

    They can't do it through software, but a wireless charger is inducing a current in a coil. NFC chips often use a coil antennal, and inducing a current in that could well trip a protective device, like a resettable fuse. It could be limited to these devices because of a particular resonance or harmonic they share

  • Negotiating mortgage rates

    Once upon a time, I seem to remember some folks managing to negotiate better rates than carded.

    Is this still a thing?

    If so, how do you go about doing it?

    Chris Hipkins rules out working with New Zealand First, ACT Party
  • I disagree that Te Pāti Māori want to "divide the country" and I'd certainly say they're less divisive than Act or NZ First.

    Te Pāti Māori want to increase the provision of targeted services and transition services for māori to be provided by māori, which makes a certain kind of sense, as far as instilling trust and providing services in a culturally appropriate way.

    Historically, māori have been put at a disadvantage by colonial systems, and so the equitable thing to do is to provide targeted support and this is a role only government can really fill.

  • My own mail server
  • Mines running postfix, spamassassin and dovecot and runs pretty happily in 1GB, but when I was running in 512MB Spamassassin would get killed fairly regularly when it ran out of RAM
