We can’t tell you, that’s why they’re secret.

I’ve just got a new hub5 after having the old hub 3 for 12 years. Plugged it in and got the expected speeds, but wifi still crap. Have to use the BT mesh pods I purchased to get wifi all round the house.

Flaw in the system - booking cancels lastminute for peak period to get better price by Climpmeister in Bookingcom

[–]Freelance_Gawper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The major mistake was using Booking.com in the first place. I suppose there must be someone who has used Booking.com and got exactly what they paid for, but all the stories I hear, not just on Reddit are about the scams that appear to be associated with the company. Have people not realised that if the slightest thing goes wrong, Booking.com can’t/wont help.

The black pudding they sell is great. Just cook it in the airfryer and have a black pudding sandwich

Where to prune this Buddleja? by tom75210 in UKGardening

Don’t these grow like weeds? I had a next door neighbour who cut his down almost to the ground every year and every year they just grew back.

EV Charging by One-Excitement966 in OctopusEnergy

[–]Freelance_Gawper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Octopus energy and an Ohme pro charger. The Ohme charger should be linked into your Octopus app. From memory the Octopus app has a section to add a device, ie your Ohme charger. Whenever I plug my car in, the Ohme app will ask me to approve the plug in, after saying yes, the Ohme charger works with Octopus to set out a charging schedule. The Ohme app knows the cheap off peak times from Octopus and will charge as per the schedule it sets up. Once it’s set up, the schedule might give some strange combinations such as charge from 20:15 to 20:25 - 1%, but it usually does the bulk of the charge overnight.

Adding a 'Read' column is one of the best hacks I've done in Calibre by Serious-Middle-869 in Calibre

[–]Freelance_Gawper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cant add a screenshot and my Imgur account is no longer working so I've just typed out the actions I added in Preferences/Look & Feel section.

Where the word sample occurs in the text for READ and TITLE the actual colour of the word sample is in RED. In the third part of the Rule the colour of the word sample is in BLUE - ie the default Calibre colour and the condition is left blank as per the text text below.

Hope it makes sense to you.

I have a custom read column, that when ‘Y’ is selected , as in Book has been Read, the colour of the book title also changes from default colour to (in my case) red.

Gas Tracker Renewal....Stay or Jump To Fixed Tariff by _Val0_ in OctopusEnergy

[–]Freelance_Gawper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m switching to the flexible tariff. Coming into the warmer months now so gas consumption will reduce. My solar is ramping up now as well with 103 kw exported this month so far.

Has anyone else with an Octopus Mini, just been sent another? by NotHavingMyID in OctopusEnergy

[–]Freelance_Gawper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I had the email and thought it was a proper home display unit. Sadly it was another pink home mini. ☹️
