@nath@aussie.zone
Thanks for keeping AZ running and keeping me entertained between bluey episodes.
Out of interest, when outage happened i noticed some sites don’t see AZ any more.

100% agree.
- Comment on Albanese invites Arab 'hypermarket' to compete with Coles and Woolworths 3 weeks ago:
I agree but if you can’t move your home closer then you need to be willing to travel further for savings.
- Comment on Albanese invites Arab 'hypermarket' to compete with Coles and Woolworths 3 weeks ago:
Blaming corporations for cashing in on convenience is just silly. Most colesworth stores have a local butcher, poultry and grocer next to them. Don’t expect for profit businesses to help you. Walk a few extra steps.
- Comment on Albanese invites Arab 'hypermarket' to compete with Coles and Woolworths 3 weeks ago:
Move closer to a market if it’s too hard to stop past one on a weekend or open weekday.

Because it works
- Comment on Summer is coming. How long do you shower for? 5 weeks ago:
Agreed they all DC’s are and will be a problem but agriculture has everything beat with water usage. Still doesn’t hurt to conserve drinking water by shorter showering. I’m not going to do it but I can’t fault people that do.
ABS usage study from decade ago. Old but shows my point.

- Comment on In Paris it’s normal to raise a family in a three-bedroom apartment. Why aren’t we building more in Australia? 1 month ago:
Yeah it’s shit. Near my parents there is a bunch of old housing commission houses. 1 bedroom houses that are bigger than most 2 bedroom apartments. They need to build them with more space stacked up. So that all around in city train and tram stops and you get a lot of desirable supply
- Comment on In Paris it’s normal to raise a family in a three-bedroom apartment. Why aren’t we building more in Australia? 1 month ago:
This is the problem. They should be mandated into the build. At least half the building is 3,4&5 bedroom apartments

Pretty much. Anything over 0 is too many apparently.

From page 25 there is crime clearance rates in Australia for the 2 decades before the internet. Looks like crime was solved before the internet existed.

An election?
- Comment on This Tiny Radio Lets Me Send Texts Without Wi-Fi or Cell Service 2 months ago:
We are in talks to build one for a local power utility. These are cheaper for nice-to-have sensors that aren’t critical. Most electricity meters in Victoria use a mesh network provided through silverspring devices to collect usage readings.
I’ve also heard about a rural water utility using a mesh network to connect water meters together to reduce the number of times an onsite reading is required.
Telcos are already trying to compete with mesh networks by providing low bandwidth LTE-M services that are lower cost for utilities. Nokia are pushing 450connect, 450 alliance, etc as more competitors also.
There are plenty of use cases for low bandwidth systems and services. Isolated network is great when the telcos have pages too.
