Enjoying 3 hours of #FreeElectricty today with Octopus Energy.

Lots of renewables on the grid, love to see it!

Waiting for Vodafone to sort out their network outage.
A side-benefit of having an Octopus Mini is I can see when the broadband comes back up in the @octopus.energy app (from the pub).

Checks both IPv4 & IPv6 connectivity if DNS records present for both and includes warnings for certificate and domain expiry. EU-based. 100,000 checks for free then modest fees. No credit card etc. needed to sign up.

Please be aware that this account claiming to be the UK National Energy System Operator is bogus:
@neso-energy.bsky.social

NESO customer services confirmed it is not theirs.

A promotion caused the Octopus Energy UK website to be overloaded this morning. They made some changes to their cloud platform (AWS) and now, as well as being nice and snappy, it finally supports IPv6 on both the website and API.
Great news (and thanks for the free Plushie!)

And for those of us on the Octopus Agile tariff we have mostly negative prices all night. Thanks Bert!

Without thinking, repost the first Simpsons joke that comes into your head.

That is a bold claim!
