The ICO in the UK is pretty good… I used to work on their CRM system and it was an eye opener how little, and also how big the things they investigated were.

I’m in the UK. I’ll never brag about our train system, not after Twatcher privatised them, and further back the horrific Beeching cuts.

The rest - yeah, worth it.

This is illegal in UK and Europe…

Well, now you’ve called it out, I’ve got to updeet it.

According to the man(8) page, it will avoid touching any blocks that have the chattr -f flag set, which is XSR_XFLAGS_NODEFRAG… So I think if the docs are still accurate to the code, yes.

A lot of ifs in that assumption.

I understood that XFS automatically mounted SSD’s with XFS_XFLAG_NODEFRAG set? Is this not the case?

That’s because the drive was written to its limits; the defrag runs a TRIM command that safely releases and resets empty sectors. Random reads and sequential reads /on clean drives that are regularly TRIMmed/ are within random variance of each other.

Source: ran large scale data collection for a data centre when SSDs were relatively new to the company so focused a lot on it, plus lots of data from various sectors since.

The bad ones…

I do it regularly… I particularly like 4.

In all seriousness, I use it when I need to time something - 32 on one hand means one minute (approximately) with two rotations. I started when trying to determine if my daughter was asleep, waiting for a minute after she’d last moved or talked, and I didn’t want a screen or light or noise to wake her (she’s always been hard to get to sleep).

So - yeah it’s a tiny bit tricky to do some combos, but no more than touch typing.

Sounds like GDPR / HFEA / other medical or significant legal body. They often also give nice fat juicy bonuses to people who report problems that get looked into, and if a company self-reports will often overlook issues provided there’s a serious attention to cleaning shit up.

I’m afraid I don’t have time to look, or I’d try and diagnose the issue myself… It’s an awesome resource I’ll be making use of though!

C# 404’s - possibly some encoding issue?

Oh, I feel for you… Delphi is a really nice language… for 1995. Last I saw it used in anger was back in 2004 or so, and even then it was a joke that it was still going…

ExplainXKCD to the rescue :D

Porkbun have a ddclient plugin on GitHub. Subdomains are supported. They’ve got a full API, so if something isn’t supported, someone can probably implement it relatively easily.

I’m going to briefly explain why I downvoted… this (I feel) is an unhelpful comment that doesn’t explain anything. You say, “[if] you’re comfortable support a broken-by-design network, do it.”, but you don’t explain why it’s a broken-by-design network.

I’ll say - I agree with you, but the comment doesn’t actually enhance the conversation and comes off as abrasive and unhelpful. If I’m looking for information, I’d rather be given education (Even if it’s just a, “Go here for why you don’t do that!”), not just a, “Don’t do it” with no assistance and help for how to do it right.

Some routers will call the 1:1 NAT feature, “DMZ” (Short for Demilitarised Zone). The idea is that you just act as a pass-through, in this case, “passing through” the external internal to the internal router.

That’s… Pretty nice, and once you’ve sourced everything, not that much more than a cm4 with good specifications…

Are they available in the UK easily? I realise that’s probably a Google-it answer, but I’ve not had chance to research yet

Those are fair pointers, but I suppose in the back of my mind I’m also thinking about power draw as well… Speed isn’t a massive retirement, it’s going to be hooked up to a poe network, if I wanted speed I’d first be putting in cat 6 or something…

Not heard of a beelink, time to research, thanks.
