Eurosky launches new web app mu.social. A drop in replacement for bsky.app. It is reachable over IPv6 but currently still depends on some IPv4-only Bluesky resources. Working fine for me, looks exactly the same bar the colour scheme. Might try moving over to the Eurosky PDS later.
A screenshot from IPvFoo showing mu.social has an IPv6 address but still connects to some BlueSky domains over IPv4.

St Albans and Harpenden residents can, from today, recycle food and drink cartons (Tetra Pak etc.) with their mixed recycling (Black Bin). So no more trips to the overflowing banks at Waitrose!
"Recycle Tetra Paks  
You will be able to recycle Tetra Pak containers from this April together with aluminium foil, tubs and trays.
These should all be put into your black mixed recycling bin for fortnightly collections.
The initiative complies with the UK Government’s new Simpler Recycling legislation which all local authorities must follow. See page 8 for more recycling information."

Enjoying 3 hours of #FreeElectricty today with Octopus Energy. Lots of renewables on the grid, love to see it!
Graph showing 77.6% of UK electricity coming from renewables (63.% wind, 13.5% Solar, 0.4% Hydro). The rest: 11.2% Nuclear, 10.9% Gas & 0.5% Biomas.

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).

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. #NESO

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!) #IPv6 #OctopusEnergy
Screenshot from a monitoring service showing that octopus.energy gained IPv6 4 hours ago.

With the wind picking up @Octopus.Energy is giving UK customers 2 hours of free electricity tomorrow morning between 7-9. #FreeElectricity #OctopusEnergy #RenewableEnergy
Screenshot from an email which reads:
It's been a while, Ray,

On Sunday, the early bird gets the Free Electricity: start your Sunday the right way. A cosy brew, a hearty fry-up, and a DOUBLE DOSE of free power!

Use more power on Sunday 24 November: 7-9am.

You'll only pay for the electricity you'd normally use at this time. Any extra you use will be completely free! See our FAQs for more info.

You don't need to opt in, or do anything else: just get ready to power up.

Heads up: 1-2 weeks after the event you'll be able to check your Free Electricity credits on your Octoplus dashboard!

Without thinking, repost the first Simpsons joke that comes into your head.
A fed talking to Homer Simpson saying:
"But all we've ascertained from satellite photos is that it's not on the roof."

That is a bold claim!
