Negative prices are good for BESS. It also has no bearing on the consumption market, which is detached from the generation market (so they can charge consumers more).
For those not in the industry, the drivers for this are green tags and production tax credits (more common in wind).
Green tags are basically attaboys for funding the generation of renewable electricity, and are tradable.
Production tax credits are a $/MWH tax incentive for generating renewable power, and are, again, tradable.
In both cases, then, there are incentives for renewable projects to keep producing power even when the wholesale power price at the point of interconnection is negative, as there are generation incentives that still make it better than idling.
From an environmentalist perspective, this is fantastic, as virtually all of this renewable generation represents offset coal and gas peaker plant generation.

Aren’t prices swinging rapidly between negatives and high peaks a sign of volatility, where specifically fossil gas peaker plants flourish? (Since we have a notable absence of proper grid-level storage)
Yes, but if baseline generation goes up there are fewer peak demand events that exceed available baseline capacity so fewer revenue generating opportunities for peaker plants. But I agree the real answer is less overbuild and more storage- unfortunate given today’s Tesla news.
As others said, “Websocket Support” enables support for them and is required for some applications. “Cache Assets” caches (likely static) assets in the proxy so they don’t have to be loaded from the backend service - I’d leave this disabled unless the backend service is hosted on another network entirely, and even then only enable it if you know the implications. “Block Common Exploits” is a very primitive filter against SQL injection (and similar) attacks. It also blocks some user agents. I wouldn’t enable it as it won’t do much to block a dedicated attacker and some filters may falsely trigger in edge cases, causing errors.
Then yeah, that option is worthless to you. For me, having networked solutions over a domain I have that enabled. But if its just internally I’d also disable it
I’m currently using a pair of them for pour-over in a Hario V60. As others have mentioned, they do taste differently than paper filters. I rinse them thoroughly after each use, then hang just inside a sunny window to dry quickly. I also alternate each day between the two that I have, so that each one has an extra day to stay dry. Doing this while boiling them once a month or so keeps them well cleaned, no odors or odd tastes. However, you do end up using a decent amount of water over time to keep them clean; it’s unclear if saving a year’s worth (how long two CoffeeSocks last according to the manufacturer) of paper filters is worth the extra water consumption. I’m thinking of switching to paper myself, and keeping these as a backup.
Yeah that was always one of the weirder sides of the Patriarchy, establishing naming conventions like the suffix -ess being female but still giving the title High Priestess of Athena Polias to a man.
