    Aquiss

    No problems for me. The Openreach engineer did something not quite right and I lost Internet access the next day but that wasn't an Aquiss mistake and they arranged an engineer very quickly.

    So, this post office palaver then

    Completely forgot about that. Yes, that is going to be a very important report when it gets released. Next month? Wow, didn't think that was coming so soon. Hopefully the inquiry into the Post Office shambles will result in laws being passed to prevent anything like this happening again. Even...

    So, this post office palaver then

    Sorry, missed this somehow. Apart from Hillsborough, sub-Postmasters, PPE and Test & Trace, I'm not sure what makes you think corruption is widespread in the UK! ;-):(

    Clarkson's Farm

    Looks brilliant. Can't wait. Seems to be released in two blocks of episodes?

    Is Amazon delivery getting worse?

    I ordered some CDs from Amazon last week and they were despatched for delivery last Friday. Shortly after the expected delivery window had started I noticed that the package had been delivered. To next door. With the receptionist. The package would easily have fit through my letterbox. Next door...

    Gran Turismo 7

    What car do people recommend for the World Touring Car 600 championship? I've tried a Ford GT and a Renault Cio. I can win the first race at the A1 Ring but I can't even get top 3 at Suzuka. In the current attempt I end up 6th at Suzuka so I have to outscore the championship leader by 3 points...

    Motorsport Off Topic Thread

    Logan Sargeant? I didn't mean to do that about Alonso's age. I just meant that a decent 25 year old driver ought to at least match a team mate 17 years older. My point was, probably poorly made, is how good a driver Alonso still is at his age. Yes, I would agree that he joins Lewis and Max as...

    Motorsport Off Topic Thread

    Aston Martin = Alonso Mainly (scoring points). ;) Agreed about Stroll. He's just not good enough and if he didn't have some kind of link to the boss/chairman of Aston Martin/the F1 team, he'd have been out ages ago. Alonso is 17 years older than Stroll, 17! And has scored 24 points to Stroll's...

    Aquiss

    I lost Internet connectivity earlier and checked the Aquiss status page on my phone. They suggested restarting routers after powering it down for 5 minutes. I wasn't sure if they meant the router or the ONT. I left it as I had a cat sitting on my lap. Before madame walked off the Internet came...

    So, this post office palaver then

    I often discuss this with my Mum when I go round for lunch. We both think people responsible for allowing this to unfold should be in prison for what they did. My Mum thinks that those most responsible however will avoid jail by virtue of being able to afford very good lawyers and have much...

    Raspberry Pi 5 Announced!

    Another video from ExplaingComputers.com today on YouTube, looking at the Argon Neo 5 M.2 NVME case. Some interesting results re cooling. With the top of the Argo Neo 5 case on the temperature is about 10oC lower than the official Pi 5 case with the top on. With the top off the board doesn't go...

    Air fryers

    That's of my favourite features too. I can do chicken breast on one side and chips on the other. Set them both to different times and temps and they finish at the same time ready for me to eat. I barely use my oven now.

    What film did you watch last night?

    Green Book. Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali. Pretty good. Say 6.5 out of 10. Having watched this and Bohemian Rhapsody I'm not quite sure how Rami Malek won the best actor Oscar ahead of Viggo.

    The increasing incompetence of companies

    I live alone and I claim a single person discount. Late last year I got a letter from the council saying they reguarly reviewed the cases of people claiming discounts on the council tax and their data company (Experian) had supplied them with possible evidence that suggested I was falsely...

    Unraid, FreeNAS, OpenMediaVault, etc...?

    Just went for a Plus licence. 12 devices should be enough for my first Unraid set up, when I get around to buying the parts!

    Unraid, FreeNAS, OpenMediaVault, etc...?

    Pretty much what I thought when I heard this was happening. There is a YouTube video that spans 1 hour and 20 minutes. I found the relevant bit and its pretty much confirmed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PihqSOF8wnA&t=3075s Btw any reason not to buy a Pro licence now tonight?

    Gran Turismo 7

    Played it today for over 30 minutes without issues. Finished off the Music Rally challenges then the Japanese compact car challenge and did a few licence challenges. No crashes at all. Weird. Why was it OK today but kept crashing on Saturday?!

    Show us your kitty cats

    Her Majesty permits her most humble servant (me) to use 3 ceramic dishes for wet food and 2 others for the dry food. One is most honoured to be given such responsibility! :cool:

    Show us your kitty cats

    I don't have that problem to worry about. Her Majesty is an indoor cat. ;)

    Unraid, FreeNAS, OpenMediaVault, etc...?

    https://unraid.net/blog/new-pricing Looks like it'd be worth me buying the Pro licence before 27th so I have that ready.
