I really hope these are as good as they sound. I’d take a decent wagon over an SUV any day, but don’t want to spend 300k aud on an RS6. If they bring the fast ones here for a decent price I’d be one of probably many buyers.

Gotta love a heroic snotpest

For those curious, there’s no leap in technology, they’ve just paired a full-sized fuel tank and small engine with a battery pack that’s prob 1/2 - 3/4 of what it would be if it were BEV.

a 55.8kWh battery pack and a small petrol engine that’s fed by a 15.9-gallon (60-liter) fuel tank

Don’t get me wrong, it’s good that it’s being offered, and a nice departure from the “hybrids must have a tiny fuel tank” default we’ve had for ages. But it’s not revealing a breakthrough in battery tech or anything.

Booting on a schedule as others have suggested would be the simplest by far.

To answer as asked though, it’s not something I’ve needed to do but it sounds like a VPN + IGMP proxy (I’m assuming you have a separate subnet for your VPN) might fit the bill.

Alternatively some kind of low power device (a Pi or something) that lives in the same subnet could make the WOL call locally, and you just need to find a way to trigger it. Could do it via a http call for example.

I used to do that, but here (Australia) passing on surcharges has sadly been normalised, and during covid heaps of businesses went cashless.

The salt in the wound is that there’s not really any reason for businesses to push payment gateways for a better deal. They don’t give a shit any more as they just pass it into the customer.

To add to this excellent answer, in my mind at least some of the confusion comes from trying to compare a number to a concept.

Using the 0.999… example, that doesn’t have a set numeric value as such. You cant use it in an algebraic formula to calculate a fixed result. Logically, it’s a number just below 1.0, but mathematically, every time you try to make that distinction it effectively shifts the goal posts.

It’s like the old “count to infinity” bit, it’s not impossible because it’s a big number, it’s impossible because it’s not a number at all, it’s a concept.

This worked for me when I was first setting up Proxmox.

dd bs=1M conv=fdatasync if=./proxmox-ve_*.iso of=/dev/XYZ

Yeah this is what I do. All the important or irreplaceable stuff easily fits on a USB HDD, and I leave one with a friend I visit regularly. I just run three drives total and no more than two of them are in the same place at the same time. Cheap, simple, and a good excuse to catch up.

Same actually, I got Witcher 3 as part of a console bundle and played it for a short period, not sure exactly how long but I got to the first of I’m sure many fights with a dragon. Found it really unintuitive, by the time I got frustrated enough to bother doing a web search I’d lost interest. Tried a couple of times after and just got the cbf’s every time.

Went to one the other day, no snags out the front. Devo

I don’t know how I feel about this, but tbh that is based on what they were, not what they are.

That is brilliant, should I be worried? 🤣 (Just noticed I had a message, oops)

Does your ISP block ports? Many do, at least where I am. Some allow you to opt-out.

As I understand it these are basically an insurance policy. The promoter takes out a policy detailing the odds of a payout being required, and pay a premium based on the insurer’s risk assessment.

And of course the insurer wants to minimise the odds of paying out, and the promoter wants to minimise their premium - so the top prize is usually, as above, near-unwinnable.

Was about 3pm here /cries in Australian

We regularly get screwed over during business hours by things being pushed out overnight in the US/UK

If you mean signed by your CA then this is me too, albeit with an intermediate CA in the middle (honestly pointless in my case, but old habits etc).

I don’t host anything externally and trusting the CA certs internally is easy as Ionly need to do it on a handful of devices. This + reverse proxy keeps things tidy and uncomplicated.

It might be a jumper on the board. Mine (Q770G4) boots on power, if I can organise some downtime with the family I’ll take a look at it (set it up ages ago so can’t remember).

Edit: CAB approval was easier than I expected! Mine is in the BIOS, under Chipset > PCH-IO Configuration, set State After G3 to Power On.

That’s what would be called “a swing and a miss”

It’s almost like speculating has risks
