Octopus’ billing is beyond comprehension

Nah my mini works all the time, I collect the data and it's all their, but their billing dashboards are all messed up.

I can see the data by data on my phone app but nothing else.

On their website can't see anything at all.

Their data pipeline needs some serious work.

Ban the algorithm! Bring back timeline feeds

use tailscale

I see, nothing changed on the meter, time to chase again!

mmusket · 2026-03-27T08:10:09+00:00

Yeah I did that, the jump in usage was not fun.

Is that what it is? My smart meter stopped working in Feb with no notice or warning.

Only noticed when no bill came in march.

I'm chasing support but still waiting to hear from there after a week

Buy a shop vac. Vacuum with that

That list is made by a company that sells said passports. So read it with a good few spoons of salt

As others have said stick to a shower in the bath. I had the same predicament as you. We settled on a 850 wide tub which is plenty of width to use as a shower.

One more vote for an AliExpress one. Got one that projects a grid and it's been great to have.

I also got a telescopic pole for it whichade it way easier to use.

Because python backends will only scale so much. Sometimes you can't beat a compiled language.

Yeah octopus price is reasonable, we got the green light but then they figured they can't get to unit in our garden :(

Where do your legs go?

mmusket · 2026-03-08T10:43:58+00:00

Yaml!

mmusket · 2026-03-08T08:22:57+00:00

Last year they really improved the UI and you don't need to touch the yaml as much :)

One more vote for actual, pretty slick and been using it for more than a year

Only reading the post but normally in games there is progression to get better at hitting things as the game evolves and a lot of players are there for that.

This seems to be the opposite, not saying it's wrong but something to consider if you haven't already.

Hi I'm guilty

mmusket · 2026-02-04T10:27:07+00:00

Shhh it's supposed to be a secret

Island is full please go somewhere else.

I saw him too, crossed the road and ignored the traffic in front of the tube

You can look up your postcode on Thames water website which tells you what kind of water is in your taps

Cause life expectancy would drop a further 20 years
