The Australian government is floating a scheme that would share the benefits of solar power with everyone on the grid, offering totally free electricity to ratepayers in the middle of the day, when the sun is shining the strongest.

Australia proposes letting everyone benefit from negative wholesale rates

I know more countries have this now, so that's a good initiative that hopefully will spread to other countries (with negative rates).

There was this story of a person who could ping a machine and he knew it was in his house, but for the love of God couldn't find the machine. It's a very short story, but he ends up looking at the pings not knowing where this machine is runnning.

Sorry to hear about your wife. This looks interesting.

I find this quote a bit funny: > While Dimity Jones is still in its debugging/proofreading phase, please refrain from sharing it more widely or putting it any (other) public place.

If this is picked up here on Hackernews, be ready hehe.

At the bottom of the frontpage there's a remark on "revenue"

A 100% independent software project

Protomaps is a self-funded, solo developer project with a mission to make interactive cartography accessible to hobbyists and organizations of all sizes. An essential part of that mission is publishing open source software under commercial-friendly licenses.

You can support my full-time work on Protomaps in a few ways: * Downloading the open source world basemap tileset with a support plan on GitHub Sponsors. * Paid development of open source features.
