500ml of water = 500g water.  let's assume you want to go from 20-100 C => increase of 80C Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g-K => 167,360 J = 0.0465 kWh Electricity @27p/kWh = 1.2552p So rather similar (OK, I don't know efficiency of electric kettle ... but heating elements are 10

So Plain and Login are just two different ways of authentication with an SMTP server; they serve the same purpose but different servers can, in theory, offer different methods. https://www.ionos.co.uk/digitalguide/e-mail/technical-matters/smtp-auth/ the ehlo shouldn't really matter, that's jus

So I do very much the same. In theory, being offline should NOT lose mail or causes bounces; however you are at the mercy of the sending servers retry policy as to when re-delivery would be attempted as so I opted for the two server approach also. The slight difference is that I've configured

I think the value proposition that VPN services offer is twofold: 1) As mentioned, they enable location spoofing. I have certainly VPNd back into my home router when away on business trips in order that I can get bbc.co.uk without Adverts and iPlayer. In addition, there are numerous US local

Dumb question : Is NAS on ethernet and laptop on wireless? Could your router have done a firmware upgrade? Does it now have some option that sounds like AP isolation? Reason being that AP isolation could stop a wireless client from seeing the NAS ... basically a lot of SMB works over broadcast
