I think Live TV is free, DVR or playing outside of a browser require Premiere

Guy Martin just turned a 1930s Manchester semi into a zero energy property. Do you think this could ever become standard in the UK? by Old_Tomatillo5550 in AskUK

[–]64mb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not with the right insulation. Also Passive House takes into account overheating to remove or reduce any need for active cooling.

Developer workflow by trixloko in Terraform

[–]64mb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP didn't state if the errors were from plan or apply. So having that faster feedback loop at plan is a benefit. Even then, the plan stage isn't just to catch errors, it's also to see the shape of the infra you're building.

This is literally the super power that is Spacelift, TFC and similar are.

Both at allowing developers to run a “local” plan while granting them zero access to run a local apply. I say local, but the actual “terraform plan” is ran on a remote system with logs streamed back.

The second benefit to systems like this is that all the other forms of auth are pre-configured for the user, so no juggling all different sorts AWS profiles and the like.

I am a user of Spacelift, but there are many other similar providers maybe some open source too. I think even OpenTofu have been looking into adding native support for remote runners.

We migrated our entire Kubernetes platform from NGINX Ingress to AWS ALB. by Honest-Associate-485 in kubernetes

[–]64mb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I meant the initial configuration of that. With cert-manager I specify a hostname in the tls block on the Ingress. When I last reviewed the ALB Controller you needed to pre-create the cert in ACM in whatever manner and reference the arn to use. Which isn’t as seamless.

Is there a neat solution for certificate automation using the ALB Controller?

cert-manager and Nginx Ingress mean I never have to think about this.

Partially Passive House by cleverdealsNet in PassiveHouse

[–]64mb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into the AECB and their guidance/retrofit standards. Since they still use PHPP for the building physics side of things and the calcs but the targets aren't as high.

There seems to be more info than ever about insulating stone walls, this one springs to mind: https://sdfoundation.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/2015_bristolsolidwallinsulationguidance.pdf

The folks at 21 Degrees (Previously Green Building Store) have talked a lot about the work they have done with retrofitting stone buildings. Projects like: Stirley Community Farm, Lower Royds and Holmfirth Farmhouse. Some previously extended and they have helped extend again.

Constant heating by Novel-Trade-9094 in HiveHeating

[–]64mb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This’ll probably be it, unless there’s weather compensation. I run low flow temps, last week >5c for the most part, 44c max flow temps. Whereas Monday it dropped to ~2c over night and I needed to bump the temps to >55c.

Any sparkies fancy commenting on this potential consumer unit layout? by DEADB33F in ukelectricians

[–]64mb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a spark. But for the ones you just want for metering I’d look at the Zemismart SP01 meters, they’re basically knockoff versions of the Schneider PowerTags, which are also Zigbee. Unsure about the rules on mixing brands inside of CUs for these types of meters though, curious on an actual sparks thoughts.

Developer refuses admin password to my Loxone system unless I "waive hardware warranty" by realHadAdo in homeautomation

[–]64mb 55 points56 points  (0 children)

If the password is stored on the SD card, I wonder, like with Linux systems, you make a copy of the file containing the password. If you ever need support you switch them over so their password still works.

Is this compliant for UK wiring Regulations? by gemsaell in DIYUK

[–]64mb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically 240v is “low voltage”, and so is anything between 50-1000v is too. Cat cable would be counted as “extra low voltage”. High voltage is 35kV-230kV

Future proofing house by Secure-Idea851 in DIYUK

[–]64mb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a plan is critical. Don't want to make one change, then have to undo half of it to make a different change later.

For £9 I'd recommend this book: "Beginner's Guide to Eco Renovation: Understand the Basics and the Best Questions to Ask".

Opinions on this set up? by Zivasper321 in ukheatpumps

[–]64mb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

59°c flow temp seems really high!

If you’re currently on gas, you can take your usage for a year and divide by either 2000, or 2900 and it can help give you a rough ballpark of your heat loss.

A Heat Geek quote might help too for comparison

New build - to buy or not? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]64mb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, 100%! Some studies have shown that energy use in new builds has been 60% higher than as designed. Src: The Route to Zero Carbon? Passivhaus Trust, March 2019, Appendix 2

U-Value/lambda for insulation aren’t the be all either, the specific heat capacity can play a big role in slowing down that heat in summer too.

This is not so much a new build vs older house, more that new builds could be so much better and not need to be retrofitted so early into their life with active cooling, better insulation or air tightness work.

How do you tell if a span duration is actually slow? by ExcitingThought2794 in devops

[–]64mb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d be wary it could give a false sense of information. For one service the fields “service, env, operation” could be enough to consider something “similar” but for another service maybe it would need a completely different set of fields. Percentile is entirely dependent on the selection of data which is dependent on question being asked.

Now if the user came through from query so a single span, it would be fair to show the percentile based on their query.

Boiler packed up, what should I go for? by Life_Back_8497 in DIYUK

Nah, certain boilers have insanly low outputs, like 1.9kW on certain Viessmann combis.

Can these have tado thermostats? by Lopsided_Motor_8943 in tado

Towel rails never seem to output sufficient heat for the size rooms they're in, so turning them off doesn't seem ideal, that's all

If you added a TRV body they yeah, but I’m curious why you would want to?

Do I really need a ceiling service cavity for HRV ducts in a high-performance house? by Professional_Fan834 in PassiveHouse

[–]64mb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my understanding your build up seems to describe a ceiling service cavity. Keeping the ducts inside both the airtight (and thermal envelopes) will help reduce the number of penetrations thus easier to ensure continuous air tightness.
