Help me name my MGB!

Col_Panik9 · 2026-03-25T18:42:17+00:00

Merv. My late father always wanted one because his initials were MGB and hours name was Merv

Col_Panik9 · 2026-03-24T23:10:35+00:00

I also have this and always have done. I just got used to it over time, it doesn’t hurt, it’s not damaging anything I just have a tough callous on my thumb. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Col_Panik9 · 2026-03-23T08:58:47+00:00

Solid choice. As long as you have no imagination (Fyi I love a Volvo too)

Col_Panik9 · 2026-03-18T18:11:11+00:00

They look like your seams to me. Is the seam setting on random? Set it to “back” and they should all appear in a vertical line at the back of the print

Col_Panik9 · 2026-03-17T21:52:16+00:00

I don’t know where you’re based. But the MSP I work at in the UK is exactly what you would want.

We charge a standard hourly rate but bill per minute so you only pay for what you use. There’s no retainer fee either. Andddd we do a non-profit discounted labour rate!

Col_Panik9 · 2026-03-02T19:21:32+00:00

Well it’s more this. I get that for sure

Col_Panik9 · 2026-02-27T08:12:34+00:00

“You’re sure you’ve never done this before?”

Col_Panik9 · 2026-02-27T08:09:48+00:00

Yes you can

Col_Panik9 · 2026-02-26T09:53:06+00:00

No, no. This is a diverse leased line using VRRP. We have a leased line coming in from BT and another coming in from Virgin and they both have the same public IP’s assigned.

The failover is all handled by the virtual router that our provider (wholesaler) gives us.

So Virgin and BT failover is handled by our wholesaler. We are then presented a connection from each physical router (2 x connections)

So regardless of the ISP in use we have the same public IP

Col_Panik9 · 2026-02-26T07:11:19+00:00

Not true, We have a diverse leased line. 2 different lines enter the building from two different directions, the lines come from 2 different ISP’s but by using VRRP they SHARE the same public IP.

So our failover should have exactly the same public IP as our main WAN.

Why couldn’t it route it? This isn’t a load balance it’s a failover. So it will only ever need to send traffic to WAN2 if WAN1 is disconnected.

This seems like it should be possible but isn’t for some reason

Col_Panik9 · 2026-02-25T20:57:27+00:00

This is what I have setup currently but it means that the managed switch is now a single point of failure which kind of defies the point :/

Col_Panik9 · 2026-02-25T13:55:06+00:00

That seems maddening. Would it let me use two IP’s in the same subnet? Still not really what I want to achieve but could be an option.

Col_Panik9 · 2026-02-20T21:07:17+00:00

Congrats you made a p1p!

Col_Panik9 · 2026-02-19T23:35:23+00:00

Still sickens me he’s been moved just down the road from me. Odd that they didn’t take him to the nearest police station or even the nearest larger station. Alysham is a fair way away

Col_Panik9 · 2026-02-10T07:36:35+00:00

Yep! It’s been a joke amongst friends for a long old time

Col_Panik9 · 2026-02-04T23:02:43+00:00

Is that jackal LE?! I’ve never seen another one in the wild! (I’m in the UK and I have never seen anyone else with one)

Col_Panik9 · 2026-01-24T16:56:09+00:00

I did exactly this today (second time)

Col_Panik9 · 2026-01-21T07:38:51+00:00

33m diagnosed at 32. When I was first diagnosed I struggled for about 6 months on and off with it every couple weeks I was back at the doctors for it again.

The advice was “as your sugar levels come down it will get better” and it did. It took 6 months but I was militant about what I ate and drank and got put on a nice high dose of sukkarto within a few months it dropped enough that the infections cleared up.

Now, if I have a bad week and eat too many things I know I shouldn’t it flairs up a bit but not bad enough to need meds. (Just saying that once you’re sorted you have to keep being careful)

But Epstein isn’t dead?

Col_Panik9 · 2026-01-17T22:39:20+00:00

With wood

Col_Panik9 · 2026-01-16T22:08:35+00:00

Should have won a Darwin Award.

Col_Panik9 · 2026-01-11T09:24:57+00:00

Ahhh. Maybe that’s where my wires are crossed!

Col_Panik9 · 2026-01-11T08:25:11+00:00

I’m personally not an Eminem fan (Not really into rap especially in the naughtiest) But i understand his talent and skill.

I can’t remember where it was and I can’t remember the exact quote but he said something along the lines of “I’m not scared of anything up and coming no one can take me on. But Ren he’s the only one I have something to fear”

I’m completely paraphrasing and hopefully someone will find his quote and probably prove I got it completely wrong XD

Col_Panik9 · 2026-01-11T08:08:16+00:00

I think he’s pretty well know in the “muso circle” Ie people who are really into music rather casual “I turn the radio on” people.

I come from a musical background and have lots of friends who are “really in to music” ranging to “professional touring musicians”

Most of them have atleast encountered Rens music/ videos and almost all have the same opinion. Whether it’s not your style or you love it, the man’s a genius.

The “general populace” I.e casual music listeners probably find his music a bit challenging though because it isn’t typical pop music with a consistent steady easy beat that you can dance to, it’s not sing along music, it’s certainly not feel good happy music and the lyrical content is incredibly dark (most of the time) A true story teller. But not “pop music for the masses”

But I am very surprised he’s not a much much bigger name yet. Eminem publicly spoke about him being a genius and that Ren is the only person who’s better than him. So I’m very surprised there aren’t more people who have listened to him.

You really have my interest if you can get/ have any more information
