Yeah it’s pretty crazy…prices vary by the hour, and that was only the single most expensive hour in that period though, and it was way above normal. Normally it peaks around 0.35USD/kWh with normal daytime prices around 0.2USD/kWh and nighttime prices around 0.1USD/kWh.
My total electricity consumption in the 5-9pm period is only around 2kWh though, so despite high prices it’s not much money.
I recently had massive issues reaching my home network from hotel WiFi. I couldn’t even connect my regular VPN on their WiFi, I tried a bunch of stuff with different ports, TCP/UDP, different protocols, nothing seemed to work even for my proton VPN.
I managed to get mullvad running though, then I could connect with tailscale (with mullvad VPN still running) and then disable mullvad after tailscale connected. Tailscale then didn’t drop the connection.
Weird work around, but it was consistent.
