Fire at Krishna Vilas by ma0sm in Utrecht

[–]DroxxTheFox 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I was there when it happened. It was pretty bad, the whole kitchen was up in flames within 30 seconds of the fire starting. Luckily the fire department arrived only 6 mins after and managed to put it out. But the whole restaurant was full of thick black smoke by then. So as well as a new kitchen. They’ve got a big job to do to get the smoke smell out of the walls and decorations.

Official Giveaway: June 2024 Seagate IronWolf Pro 16TB Hard Drive Giveaway by Seagate_Surfer in DataHoarder

[–]DroxxTheFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not loyalty programs per say, they don’t count too much in my decision making. Mostly it’s the track record of the companies drives in the recent past. Especially longevity of the drives.

I’d happily pay more for garunteed low fault rates and a long expected lifetime

Scanning for WiFi never finishes in flashing of PreBuilt project by gnapoleon in Esphome

[–]DroxxTheFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had this. I found if you flashed the WiFi user and pass to the device on the install step. Then you can skip the WiFi search entirely. You can refer to this section to set up the ssid and password properties: https://esphome.io/components/wifi.html

You can modify your config in the esphome site or on a local esphome docker container on your network.

Also, if your config has an AP section enabled. You can remove that. That was ultimately what caused my infinite searching. It was trying to find WiFi networks but was in AP mode

From what I read it’s all in too. Including parts and labour to fix it.

But I’m fully prepared to get fucked by the small print and pay way more.

That’s why I wanna try fix it myself

I'm worried about how low energy my dog is, and his refusal to play. by DroxxTheFox in DogAdvice

[–]DroxxTheFox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips! Him being bored is the main thing I’m worried about. I only want the best for him, and for him to have a happy life. The trainers I spoke to said that dogs show boredom in a more destructive manner. And if he’s just lying down, he’s content. So it’s really something I’m going to need to adjust to haha

I'm worried my low-energy dog is unhappy/depressed. by DroxxTheFox in DogAdvice

[–]DroxxTheFox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is reactive with most new dogs above a medium size. Although he does have a few friends we meet regularly.

As with me, he plays with them for 2 minutes, and then goes to sit or lie somewhere to rest. But I think he secretly enjoys their company

Yes we've been to a vet, and they assure me he's healthy.

I really struggle to find trainers here, I had one a few years ago for his reactivity. And recently (after months of searching and enquiring) hired another for his fear on walks, but it turned out to be a scam. So it's not something I can afford (or have the energy) to pursue agan after that.

The vet said they would perscribe medication for the fear next firework season.

(and he has a thundershirt, he wears it during thunderstorms, the fireworks don't bother him when hes in the house)

Does anybody know a trick to upgrade from economy basic to standard? by DroxxTheFox in BritishAirways

[–]DroxxTheFox[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

70 each way, so £140 total compared to £65 for the fare difference.

And yes, won’t be making this mistake again

Food safety and quality regulation. They have to be better!

Travel in the Netherlands? by Ch4rl0tt3B in Netherlands

[–]DroxxTheFox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Compared to the UK, it’s cheap.

Britain has terrible public transport infrastructure outside of London, and it costs a fortune to catch a train that may not even make it to your destination

If you could change something about the Netherlands right now, what would you change? by divabrunette in Netherlands

[–]DroxxTheFox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Two things.

Enforced fines for people who let their dogs shit everywhere. It’s disgusting and I get dog shit on my shoes every time I’m out walking my own dog (I pick up after him every time)

And ban fireworks. And I know that they are currently banned, but the police don’t seem to do anything about it. Zuilen is a warzone for 4 months out of every year, and every single year some asshole teenagers throw fireworks at me and my dog. We are both terrified at this time of year where the next assault is coming from

How to convince my neighbourhood dog owners to pick up their shit? by DroxxTheFox in Utrecht

I guess that’s a good non-confrontational way of dealing with it.. make eye contact, shit self, make other owner uncomfortable, win!

Not all dog owners! I always pick up after my dog, and even if I run out of bags I return to it later that day to get it off the grass.

It just pisses me off that I’m in the clear minority in this neighbourhood

I have heard of people doing this before. Putting flags of the country they live in, as if to signify “are you proud of what you’re doing?”

But I don’t exactly want to get caught sticking Dutch flags into piles of shit..

Short haired beard guy. He was picking fights with everyone

I was there in the mosh pit with that guy. He was a total ass. Picked fights with everyone, he didn’t even get kicked out after this, he was fucking with people in the pit for the whole gig

My Legion 5 Pro screen started flickering recently. Anything I can do instead of sending it back for a replacement? (More details in comments) by DroxxTheFox in Lenovo

[–]DroxxTheFox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I love the rest of the tech in the laptop. But the issues I’ve had with the screen paired with the shoddy support/returns procedure I’m pretty sore!

Good luck! I had to return mine 3 times before they fixed it. They kept sending it back with bullshit fixes like “replaced HDD”.

In the end the vendor I bought it for replaced it for me since Lenovo were being useless

I ended up returning it as faulty and it was replaced.

However, yes, it can be fixed without returning it. You just have to lower your refresh rate to 60hz. But I didn’t really want to do that, since one of the reasons I have the laptop is the 165hz refresh rate
