This is excellent but alas I can't get it to work in nginx-proxy-manager. Keen to see if anyone else can figure it out.

Yeah that's undoubtedly part of it, but it's fueled (excuse the pun) by the vast Summer to Winter disparity in energy usage. My own energy bills are currently very low thanks to rooftop solar, but my house is very poorly insulated so I'm expecting my Winter bills to be 10 to 15 times higher than they are now once the temperature drops into the mid teens and my gas heating goes on.
Most housing stock in the UK is unfortunately just as badly insulated so people like to know they're not going to get massive unpayable bills in the Winter by paying more than necessary in the Summer.
"Most people" don't budget very well and would prefer to pay a known, fixed amount every month rather than get lulled into a false sense of security by cheap Summer bills when the heating is off and daylight abundant (we don't generally have air conditioning), only to then get hit for massive bills that they can't afford when the heating goes on in the Winter.
To make this work they try to find the sweet spot so that your balance fluctuates between building credit in the Summer and going into debt in the Winter, but ultimately balancing out to zero-ish throughout the year. If your balance goes too far negative they'll ask you to increase your payment and if you build too much credit you can reduce your payments and/or get (some of) the credit back.
All that said though, if you'd rather just pay each month's bill in full then Octopus will let you do that. You might need to contact them to make the change.
These nimbys piss me right off. What good will their precious countryside views be when it's all barren? These people with nothing better to do than complain about clean energy projects should just have their power cut off. Fuck 'em.
Make an offer of $0.01. Assuming the responses aren't automated, every time they reject it, raise the offer by 1c. Keep doing it till you hit the $15 mark and then just stop. It could waste literal years of their time.
This is excellent news. Who knew that you could appoint people who actually know what the fuck they're talking about into roles that are relevant to their expertise. What a time to be alive.
Yeah that's what I assumed but it was just so out of left (right?) field that it took me by surprise!
What's the betrayal of women's rights all about?
The boring answer is that just like "shields up", it's there to help the audience. Maybe they did a take where she just hurries away and it looked weird so they added that line.
Or maybe she just really needed to go for a Commander Data, if you catch my drift.
I'll have to have a look when I'm next in the vacinity but I'm pretty sure I have an APC Easy UPS on mine and it works out of the box.
Let me get back to you...
Update: It's an APC Back-UPS 850. No doubt the instructions banged on about requiring Powerchute but I just plugged it into the Syno and it worked fine. You do need to enable UPS support on the NAS itself of course, from Control Panel/Hardware & Power/UPS, and set it to USB UPS.
Couldn't agree more. I got literal goose bumps at the end of AC1, felt like I was progressing towards some sort of ultimate showdown in 2 and its spinoffs. And then their lust for a never ending cash cow straight up ruined it.
Never played 3, but played Black Flag up until they started talking about aliens (I think?) and then noped out. Not touched the franchise since.
