Yup, and this wasn’t fiction https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11846996/

I operate a rooftop solar power station. While I have scripted all the individual components like battery management, Inverters and the various sinks (for where the power goes when it’s not needed immediately) using Grafana to get alerts, I use automation to activate the various scenes and settings to maximise the useful power I get from the system.

my area was almost half tory, and the new area is still almost half tory but instead of a strong labour opposition, it’s now split with lib dem and green party.

so a win for the tories i guess.

this is 100% a scheme to fuck the labour party who are likely to win the next election. It will force them to either immediately raise taxes on working people to revert the tax, take on more debt to keep the tax but restore the benefits, or abandon the poor and keep the tax cut as is.

it’s using poor, disabled, single parents and other vulnerable members of society as political cannon fodder and it’s fucking disgusting, but sadly par for the course with this government.

people should be able to protest as long as i’m not inconvenienced

of course none of this is the government’s fault, and there’s definitely no “intellectual diversity” issue there either

return it to whomever you bought it from. it’s useless to you if it’s locked like that.

worst case scenario the device won’t work. example: some Axis cameras are “PoE++” and need special switches to power them. if you plug normal PoE devices into such switches however, they will be fine as the switch knows only to send regular low-calorie PoE to those devices.

PoE is all 48v and the only difference is the available power which is switch-dependent.

the data protocol negotiates the power requirement - it’s not like plugging a 110v device into a 220v outlet.

can you host an email server at home: yes nothing is stopping you.

the question you meant to ask: will it send and receive email with providers like gmail, M365 etc.

the answer to that question: no.

what about Amazon SNS? i believe it’s $0.50 for one million sms messages

Bear in mind that full 4K HD with 4:4:4 sampling requires around 18Gbps of bandwidth.

You can send HMDI signals over Cat6/Cat7 cable using the HD-BaseT protocol. Lots of companies like Extron, Kramer and Crestron make those adapters, and provided your cabling is good quality then you’ll not lose resolution. These are point to point devices.

An alternative is AV over IP where you use a regular Cat5e/Cat6 cable run and dedicated encoders and decoders that stream the signal. Atlona and Wyrestorm make these and they’re pretty good - very low latency and a range of compression options. You can also attach a network switch and have a one-to-many setup or a matrix with multiple inputs and outputs.

you can join cut cables together with a back-to-back adapter but expect some signal/speed loss. better to change the whole cable and maybe run it inside a conduit if it’s outside.
