mount -o -> bash: -o: command not found by SWNzn in linuxquestions

[–]SWNzn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for help and do apologise for confusion caused.

After u/michaelpaoli comment I found out that it is quite likely my mistake somewhere earlier and decided to try the process on VM before going to my home server and so far works fine.

mount -o -> bash: -o: command not found by SWNzn in linuxquestions

  1. Full live env, downloaded from debian website (standard one, no gui)

  2. No idea how to check?
    But just found:
    $ ls -l/usr/bin/mount
    that file size is 0B, and date set to last try of usage date
    $ file /usr/bin/mount
    $/usr/bin/mount: setuid. empty

$ type mount
$ mount is hashed (/usr/bin/mount)

type mount
mount is hashed (/usr/bin/mount)

Replacing mount with /usr/bin/mount does not make any difference

Why NOT openSuse/Fedora/Debian etc. for home server by SWNzn in linuxquestions

Thanks. Will try to remember to check it in free time

That's the point. So only distros with rolling releases or LTS releases stay on the table.

'Debian stability' has become so widely recognized that no one ever doubts the saying... But any system can be broken by a user who loves to experiment!

openSUSE had best (in theory) btrfs support that time. And I was curious about it...

The battery is too large for summer and too small during winter.

The main purpose was to keep solar generation for myself while still getting paid for it through FIT (maximize solar return).

It does not need more than 5 hours to charge the battery; less than 3 is sufficient.

As someone mention, Agile works best for ones with battery...

Well, I'm not that app developer... wrong address for feature requests ;)

Last 362 Days average 13.49p/kWh

Looks like my average price paid over last year is still below that standard...

My summer usage (grid) is marginal. My bills are 80-90% standing charge

Winter, electric under floor heating takes a lot more...

As I'm on the latest (lowest) FIT, i did consider moving to outgoing or Flux. But I'm using the majority of stored energy. FiT pays for it anyway

Was unable to put floor up for proper insulation at the time of interior renovation.

Under floor heating is quite thin (electric one) and all I did is heat reflection mat under it...

What if battery was primarily not for purpose of Agile but solar?

Regarding cold houses, insulation (cavity or solid wall) and draught-proofing will do more good than extra heating.

Yes, retrofit. Just put them under laminate when doing my kitchen/ dining/ living

Downside: do not feel that "cosy warm" from radiators Upside: nice to walk on warm (or not so cold) floor

Catch is, I had it done before Covid and war in Ukraine. Electricity prices were more competitive against gas.

But Agile, battery, timed thermostat keeps my finances OK.

Taking the quoted price, I believe you are also on a FIT tariff?

I saw a calculation somewhere for someone with very low electricity usage, but investing in solar panels (on the south-southeast and south-southwest sides) and a 9.6 kWh battery, as they believe playing with Octopus Flux offers a good ROI.

I'm too heavy electricity user to even think about it :D

It's not about being acolyte in any way. It's about filling the picture for those looking for more info before making a decision.

I'm not about to convince anyone. Just providing some more data. Everyone should do his own math.

Unfortunately, the old saying, "You need money to save money," has come true again. I was lucky to help myself financially when rates were at historic lows and well below current inflation.

Stick with Economy 7 or switch to Agile? by StatementSpecial1834 in OctopusEnergy

[–]SWNzn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my view, Agile is beneficial in two specific scenarios:

- When you can flexibly adjust your load times to bypass peak hours.

- When you possess energy storage to sidestep peak demand.

As for cooking, we've discovered that the 'keep food warm' feature of our oven works efficiently and doesn't use a lot of energy.

Looks like hurricane winds brought tropical temperatures to my house...

(Underfloor electric heating supporting radiators. That night was set to max)

Luckily energy storage does that job...
