#flexibility — Public Fediverse posts

A #study of 7,704 #employees found that fully #remoteworkers reported the highest #wellbeing, followed by #hybrid and then #onsite workers. The study suggests that #remotework, with its associated #autonomy and #flexibility, contributes to higher well-being and lower turnover rates. The findings challenge the notion that in-person interaction is essential for employee connection and organisational commitment. https://www.colorado.edu/today/2026/08/12/remote-workers-report-highest-well-being-study-7700-employees?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

One of those days where I was happy that I started yoga and incorporated it into my, almost, daily routine. #yoga #mobility #flexibility #ageing

Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.

1/ ⚡️↪️🖥️ German Energy Transition Monitor: Momentum Is Still Insufficient for the Expansion of Renewables, Electrification, and Storage https://www.diw.de/documents/publikationen/73/diw_01.c.1015053.de/dwr-26-30-1.pdf

Now available in English: What is the status of the #energy #transition in 🇩🇪 as of mid-2026? The #DIW Energy Transition Monitor shows some progress—but the pace is still not fast enough to meet the 2030 targets. Three key areas are examined: #renewables, #electrification, and power system #flexibility.

Intensive yoga session this morning.... a pretty sweaty one, too due to high humidity 😅 #yoga #Phuket #balancing #flexibility #fun

Mind blowing numbers about Finnish datacentre build out from an IRTF Sustainability and the internet workshop

As I mentioned before, I was at an IRTF (Internet Research Task Force) workshop last week in Passau. It was my first time, and my mind is still buzzing from all the things I learned. This is one thing want to be able to come back to a presentation from Jukka Manner, a professor at Aalto University. I’m uploading it here with a few notes, because WOW.

Off we go.

You can follow the link to download the PDF of the deck, but here are the ones to look at:

• slide 9 – Google as half of finished data center capacity in Finland, all by itself.
• slide 12 – The planned expansion, before 2030 is about 7.7 GW. The entire Finnish grid is only 10 gigawatts in capacity. This also expansion is also 27x increase between now and 2030 . That is the biggest change I’ve seen so far in any country.
• slide 16 – Basically all of the demand growth would have to go to data centers for this build out to be possible.
• slide 17 – how the hyperscalers responded when they were asked to be flexible to help share grid capacity

I think pulling out slide 17 is worth while, because it’s both eye-opening, but also worth discussing.

How hyperscalers responded when asked about data centre flexibility

You can see the quote that Jukka mentioned when in a workshop with someone from a hyperscaler about integrating datacentres into the grid in Finland:

Q: ”Can you drop your consumption if the national power grid has challenges delivering enough electricity ?
A: “We don’t have the incentive to do that”

Ouch.

To be fair, pretty much all to mind flexibility involves someone being paid for the flexibility, either in the form of compensation for changing your demand, or in the form of being allowed on the grid to make money, and this being the price of getting onto the grid now.

But this presentation is going to stick in my mind for a while, because before I saw this I had some idea of the changes taking place in Finland, and the deck points to loads of interesting ideas beyond thse figures, like there being an actual open data portal with the location and date of every planned project in Finland, being a thing that is out there, and the sky not falling.

Heres the screenshot:

And here’s the link to the live website where this came from, and this is the link directly to the Microsoft Power BI view

It’s mind-blowing that this is not something that we have across Europe, because this is precisely the info the industry is fighting hard to have not disclosed in laws that would otherwise require it.

Change of plans this morning... it was worth it... joining a yoga session with an experienced male yogi and fellow runner... happy Thursday, peeps.. stay flexible #yoga #flexibility #strength

Yoga Wednesday... after some weeks of absence I try to find my way back... it's getting tougher by the age... however, I am enjoying my ability to still move like this #yoga #mobility #flexibility #balance #Phuket

🤡 Oh, the audacity! Instead of an optional gate that whispers "I'm fancy", let's have a mandatory gate that shouts "I'm whatever you want me to be". Because nothing says #progress like mandatory flexibility! 🚪✨

Impressive real-world numbers of EDF 🇫🇷 (with its smart charging subsidiary DREEV) for charging a fleet of electric waste collection trucks:

10 MWh of charging for 10 trucks, at a cost of minus €129, by collecting otherwise wasted energy and providing grid support

Interesting: Finnish energy regulator is requiring DSOs to allocate 1% of their budget to market-based flexibility solutions during the 2024–2027 regulatory period. As a result, smart EV charging has expanded from energy market optimisation to include the local grid (with market-based remuneration).

Rainy Monday morning yoga.... a little bit of everything #yoga #Phuket #functional #strength #flexibility #mobility

To help navigate this complexity, we’ve launched two new FAQ-style publications breaking down the key concepts and trends behind two elements at the heart of modern power systems:

⚡ #Flexibility: the ability to continuously balance supply and demand across timescales and locations. Flexibility enables the power grid to respond in real time – whether to sudden power plant outages, mass #EV charging or spikes in renewable generation. 2/x

It was yoga Wednesday today.... wishing you all a good one... #yoga #mobility #flexibility #Phuket

Yoga Monday... stretching and bending.... nothing spectacular #yoga #Phuket #flexibility #mobility
