I think it's been in since debian 11... at least 12, it's been in my default ansible playbooks for a while.

it is in the UK, if the car comes with the feature, it must function. A warning light on the dash is enough to invalidate the roadworthiness.

While it would be nice, I think this would instantly write-off the car in UK and western europe, as various connected features not working on cars that came with them, or are 'new enough' to require them, cause mandatory yearly tests (MOT / APK(NL)) to fail, meaning you can't legally drive the car again until these are fixed and re-tested.

Yeah, my main reason to stay away from Keepass, everything is in a single versioned binary file. I like 'passwordstore.org', where every secret is it's own gpg-encrypted textfile in a git repo. Every change is a commit, easy to see history, easy to revert or know which version is newest. And easy to selfhost, you just need a place to git push/pull from.

23k even in some markets, ok, small low range cars. But yeah, the 30k ones start getting good.

The id.Polo is apparently starting at 22k GBP in the UK; the VW Polo's always been a pretty popular car (and also starts at about 22k). I'd expect those to sell very well.

It's an ODIDO ip, but from the old versatel block. I'm assuming it's a business netblock, not the typical ftth/dsl range.

Traceroute goes through `.ftth.glasoperator.nl` routers though.

Also worked for the dutch government for the last 5 years. All or most of the projects we did have been open-sourced on github over the years. Currently there are plans to move them to code.overheid.nl I think, though I no longer work there currently. (I was the github org-admin for the department)

Local government can quickly change that, if they get their act together. Here in the Hague, there's literally thousands of public chargers available on the city's residential streets. Coupled with the fact that the charging-price is city-mandated at a fixed rate (currently around 35ct/kwh), this gives a perfectly fine solution for most people. (I can charge at home, for 20ct/kwh currently, so that's even nicer)

Not in the UK. Local governments (councils) are going bankrupt and are saddled with an overwhelming burden to pay for adult and child social care. There's no money for much else

35ct/kwh is highway robbery.

Not sure what country you're from but in France it's not rare to see 0.30-0.60€ per kWh and even requiring a subscription on top of that.

What is actually the realistic cost. Covering infra, the charger and the maintenance of everything involved. Power and transfer included, with transfer including any standing charges. And after that you probably want decent margin to well run the business.

I don't expect 10 thousands of the fast chargers in my town.

I'd love to have slow chargers built into the street lights. Not everyone owns a house, and the public charging usually meets or exceeds the petrol price per mile.

If you're referring to DC charging it's going to be pretty expensive. The construction and power electronics for a DC station is going to be in the millions.

For AC the rectifier is inside the car and the L2 chargers is just a fancy plug. Price should just be the base electricity cost.

would be nice if california had such discounted prices... :)

Jesus, I had no idea California was that bad. How is that even possible? Our rate is 15c/kwh.

> How is that even possible?

It's PG&E for the most part, and their huge liability payout for burning a city to the ground due to skipping maintenance on their distribution lines.

Some places in California have prices closer to the US average.

And not enough share on the people who built on a tinderbox which historically regularly (every few years) had fires go through.

I'm in CA and only charge at home, and pay 14c/kwh.

palo alto and santa clara don't count. They have well-run power companies, not pushing regulatory capture.

On GrapheneOS (and maybe android generic?) this calls the emergency number, I just found out (with a 5 second timer to cancel this luckily)

It is also an option in iOS under Settings -> Emergency SOS. And with it turned on it will both call emergency services and require pin for unlock.

Yup, still get nightmares about glusterfs.... still have one customer running on it.

I heard it got better, but we ran into the BOTF (billions of tiny files) issue around 2016. (For a genealogy startup this was a serious issue)
