Pondering: saving electricity costs
Currently I process my masschecks using a setup:
raspberry pi
-> call a PC with Core i7 is available
-> else call a Azure VM with lots of cores and RAM
Those resources are down and/or suspended unless woken up by the raspi
or me manually for some other purpose. Usually I use my Nexus 6P and
MacBook Air for my casual computing.
The raspi wakes up the process at 13:00 EET, and the run lasts some
1h-1.5h usually. It just happens to be the timing when electricity spot
prices are at their peak or the day.
I would like to schedule that so that it would run at 02:00-03:30 at
night, when the cost it at it's lowest.
Is that possible somehow? What day's batch it would run? I have not tested.
I might move to hour based e bills on march 16, if that works.

It would have to run the correct batch or the results would be thrown
out. I would recommend you try it and let's see.
