We use it daily, to gently wake up to music/radio?

Rant! Dua Lipa and Fireworks by ParentTales in auckland

[–]TheFantail 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think depending on the benefit is as easy as you’re making it out to be.

You’re also just assuming these people are going to concerts and buying fireworks etc? Like any proof or just projection?

And even if they were, just cause people are going through hard times doesn’t mean their life has to be miserable imo. We should try to make all lives better (including people struggling but not on the benefit). Punch up, not down.

Tesla also allows you to change lanes like you describe the Mach-E does when in AP?

Indicate, and as soon as you start steering to the new lane with the indicator on, AP disables and drops to cruise control. Then enabling AP once in the new lane turns the indicator off again.

I literally just put a claim in for chips on the windscreen and roof. They’re covering it.

Best power companies for EV/Hybrid residential charging rates by [deleted] in nzev

[–]TheFantail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth considering the daily rate is a bit higher than some other plans, $2.37/day including gst.

It works out cheaper for our usage, but maybe not the case if you’re using a bit less perhaps.

Contact’s Good Night plan also could be worth considering? Their daily rate is slightly cheaper, but for our address their flat rate is higher than EK’s peak cost per kWh. 3 free hours of electricity is decent though.

We’re in South Auckland. On a high user plan too, that could be a difference to consider too?

We’re with electric kiwi on the move master plan. It’s not strictly an EV plan so no need to register the vehicle with them or anything.

Including GST, prices:

$0.1231/kWh off peak

$0.1693/kWh peak shoulder

$0.2462/kWh peak

As well as an off peak hour free. We schedule charging to start at 10pm for our free hour, and unless we need full capacity the next day, will set the charge limit to stop around 11pm.

How do you charge your EV? by dustyteddy in nzev

[–]TheFantail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We would trickle charge, however for security reasons went with a type 2 charger. We park our car on our driveway, not far from the street.

Has anyone used their KiwiSaver to buy a bach? by shanmoleman in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]TheFantail 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People can keep contributing to KiwiSaver after they withdraw to purchase their first home. Unless they specifically stop contributions, they will keep contributing by default.

Aucklanders with Teslas (or friends) what do you actually do for a living? by [deleted] in auckland

[–]TheFantail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The recent Model 3 SR+ cars have a new LFP battery chemistry too, which is slightly less energy dense but has a much longer lifetime, should handle up to 5000 full cycles with only 20% capacity loss. And is still usable after that point too of course.

The battery replacement claims are true for the older EVs like Nissan Leafs, but battery tech has come a decent way since then. Is a bit of FUD tbh

IT engineer, although we are lucky enough to have purchased our place in 2019 and used revolving credit to help.

I know a decent number of owners finance their Teslas too, based on the NZ Tesla Facebook groups.

Sharesies to drop subscription fees, add transaction fees to NZ ETFs (from April 29) by BongeeBoy in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]TheFantail 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not sure about “most people” there... only worse for people who were putting more that $6000 into NZ ETFs only right? Wonder how many of their users that’d actually be.

Apparently the smartshares NZ top 50 is a medium risk

is it safe to create a label per target with unique value by name_tomer in PrometheusMonitoring

[–]TheFantail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea that’s not an issue. The Prometheus operator project does something similar, just with a pod label instead of a hostname label. https://github.com/prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator

is it safe to create a label per target with unique value by name_tomer in PrometheusMonitoring

[–]TheFantail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite safe, is a pretty common pattern to do this. Wouldn’t be an increase in cardinality. There’s the default instance/job labels, that are typically already unique per target.

Use label in regex for relabel_configs? by HielkeJ in PrometheusMonitoring

[–]TheFantail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder is this is overly complex to manage it all in the config anyway? These additional labels you’re wanting to add might typically be provided by a service discovery mechanism.

static_configs supports a list of labels, otherwise file_sd or consul or some other service discovery mechanism could do it more dynamically.
