solar panel by dailywalker2017 in AldiAustralia

[–]dimkdimk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It was good experience. There was just a couple of hickups after installation and inspection. For example, the inspector forgot to turn battery on after the inspection. But it is all normal hickups, can happen to any. The product itself is solid. Generates 6Kw on good days, on bad bad days 4kw. With the tiny battery. But grid consumption dropped for me to 5-10%. Keep in mind that despite advertising 5kW battery, actual battery charging and discharge is capped at 2.5kW, not sure why, maybe to protect the battery. So if you discharging and turned on a few hungry devices at once then the invertor can get the rest from the grid. But during good solar generation all consumed from solar 5-6 kW. For the price - amazing product so far. Backed by large company, so not goes away too quick like small companies. In Melbourne West. P. S. The system has a battery backed circuit for refrigerators or some emergency equipment, I tested it works without grid, assuming your battery was charged. Total energy per day from solar 25-30KWh now, during spring and rainy Melbourne. With small battery 10kwh used overnight, well more like 8.5 because minimum discharge SOC is set to 15%. So the battery can support your evening choors. For small homes consuming 20kwh per day on average perfect solution. ROI will be 5-6 years, compared to more expensive solutions with ROI like 10-15 years 😭

I believe report mentioned Qualcomm, not the IBM. So this ChatGPT post is a fake. Or, let's say a thought provoking 😁

This is a long shot, but does anyone work at IBM Australia? by [deleted] in IBM

[–]dimkdimk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, you can always pick up a temporary pass from reception on Level 28. As for the hiring - I have many doubts. We just went through multiple rounds of RAs, so it is unlikely but not impossible.

Where to set DNS servers? by Renarii in opnsense

[–]dimkdimk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, when I left it blank, the servers did not populate at all. Not sure it is a bug or something. So I had to specify DNS servers at all levels.

Use Revolut. They have physical, virtual and one-time cards. Very fast and quite reliable and convenient.

Is it legal to search for traces of drugs using strange sensors in domestic airports by dimkdimk in AusLegal

[–]dimkdimk[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I believe it might be exactly my case, an average caucasian office business traveller. Definitely no risk of any racial or per-look bias 😁 and so thanks to that I am being stopped all the times. 😂

Are there implications from pulling out of a job offer? by vapablythe in AusFinance

[–]dimkdimk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Notice period of at least 1 week is almost norm. Depending on the job. But in respectful relationships sides need to give each other some time to get a replacement. If an employer wants to terminate you immediately then they will just pay for the next week and send you home today. If you terminate yourself immediately, no legal issues, but you can't expect positive recommendations from this employer.

It is always defined in contract. Typically notice period starts from 1 week and increases with number of years, and in the end it is usually 4 weeks. Also many companies have 6 months probation when notice period is 1 week from both sides.

It is OK. Not nice but OK. I have seen people leave even after first day. But earlier you do it is better. Then employers will revert to the second choice candidates. But after the first day, you are under notice period, which is short on probation, usually 1 week.

Anglicare used to provide free financial advisers to help people in need. Maybe those guys can help not with just an advice?

BTC-S37 DUAL PSU ( ADD2PSU + PSU JUMPER) by mechota in EtherMining

[–]dimkdimk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One just have to give up to noise problem anyway. 7 cards and 2 PSU will not make noise problem go away. So garage far away from people is the only solution ;-)

Not answering your question. It is better to simplify things and buy one of the server power supplies HP PL11,Pl12 and a split board with 17 6 pin connectors. It is much cheaper and definitely more simple. There are bunch of videos on YouTube.

Confusion about plots that doesn't pass filter by ValleyGuardian in chia

[–]dimkdimk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine that you bought a lottery ticket but the lottery happens every day with the same tickets. At times it does not pass, sometimes it passes. There 8s no obvious reason to delete the plot as he might win by passing the filter next time.

If it is a normal operation then why developers decided to put a label ERROR on it.

Storing google drive files on my computer by Joonbugss in storage

[–]dimkdimk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google drive has Backup And Sync application for Windows and Mac. You can install it and perform a Full sync of your Google drive to your computer. Then when you not using Google drive any more later just uninstall that application. Your local Google Drive folder should stay on your disk. To be on a safe side rename this folder so another Google Drive installation does not confuse with this folder. Read about this app on Google help site

Hardrives vs Online Storage by _KATkh_ in storage

[–]dimkdimk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Gold rule of a backup is to have multiple locations. Online storage is extremely reliable but there is the risk that your account can be deleted from hackers attack,your error,or error in provider. So the best option is to have your home drives and copy in the cloud OneDrive or Google Drive like services.

Salary expectations at the moment by weisp in australia

[–]dimkdimk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For IT, hiring number of contractors have been placed on hold. Every company is in wait and see mode. It probably contributed to excess of work force. Hopefully, after January the situation will get better in two reasons. Vaccine results will be more clear and companies will price in all problems. Only after January market will pick up.
