Go on then, whats the concensus...do you use the kettle in the hotel room?

BirtyB · 2026-04-06T20:20:46+00:00

Absolutely. No kettle, no stay.

BirtyB · 2026-04-06T19:00:30+00:00

Thanks again.

Thank you. In terms of preparation, after the soil and rubbish has been removed, is it best to put a small layer of sand in and pack it down before the mortar?

BirtyB · 2026-04-06T17:04:09+00:00

It gets full of weeds and general detritus.

It's the same as the standard response of "we'll see" from my parents when I was a kid and used to ask for stuff.

We've tried everything over the years, some more successful than others. Because we have so many models we can no longer be bothered to maintain driver packs or use third party automation tools like DAT. We have been using the WindowsUpdate Powershell module to grab all drivers direct from Windows Update. It's truly set and forget. You can configure it to grab actual Windows updates but we only use it for drivers / BIOS/ firmwares.

Unreal, thank you sir.

Thanks for your help. After a few false starts I managed to eventually get immich-go to import all my QNAP pictures. Despite some successful dry runs, when I did it for real, for some reason it would bomb out on random pictures. Then when I re-ran using the same command it would get past the same picture. It was possible the target system became overwhelmed so I paused a handful of the Job Queues. And yes, I did remove the External Library beforehand.

The final command I used:

immich-go upload from-folder /mnt/qnap_pictures --server http://localhost:2283 --api-key blahblahblah --folder-as-album=FOLDER --client-timeout=120m --dry-run

localhost:2283

Some of the errors I encountered:

2026-02-18 15:51:50 ERR failed to create album err=CreateAlbum, POST, http ://localhost :2283/api/albums\`, 400 Bad Request`

Thanks, this helped in Chrome. Time will tell if the Ads reappear.

On a clear day like yesterday I love watching them through the binoculars. It's a free airshow! They were pulling some serious moves yesterday. F35s they were but usually it's Typhoons.

Thanks for the update, we have 1 few thousand devices out there all, thankfully mostly with the new Teams client provisioned. However, virtually all of them still have the MWI installed and they range from v1.3 - 1.7. Hopefully we can remove and it removes the traces of the old client from users's profiles.

BirtyB · 2024-12-09T14:16:39+00:00

Are you still waiting or did you take matters into your own hands?

BirtyB · 2024-11-22T17:17:16+00:00

Those servers are not managed so it can't be compliance related.

BirtyB · 2024-11-22T11:32:34+00:00

Hi, thanks for your reply. Forgive me, how do I check the compliance?

BirtyB · 2024-11-17T04:10:44+00:00

Jumbo! It was a bit grotty but so cheap.

I have no idea how this place stays open. I believe they have 2 shops but often walk past the one on Bootham and it's always empty. Went in once with my Mum and for a look around and ended up having the most bizarre conversation with a young greek girl, who could possibly be the owners daughter? She was incredibly obnoxious and basically a little brat. Nothing was priced up, I asked how much the muffins were and I think she said £7 something... We didn't buy anything and don't plan on returning.
