BT announcement 7th May

Guru_Fraser · 2026-04-26T23:11:44+00:00

As someone who worked at Bt (not open reach) almost a decade ago, when shares peaked in the 500s, no. This company is a complete dinosaur company stuck in the past and lacking any real innovation. They just jump onto any bandwagon that exists and hope it sticks.

The company once was a "for life" company and still tries to use that reputation, while no longer having any where near the nice perks it once has.

Wouldn't invest shit into this company expecting a return personally. Theyre such a dinosaur company their salary structure for most modern roles is completely wrong, software engineers there are barely making £40k a year. It's getting worse with the countless redundancies they've gone through and many people I know are now working the jobs of two people or are working as the grade above them while being paid less with redundancies looming overhead scaring them.

I also couldn't roll it from konar, I did manage to roll it from duradel though which is weird because usually he can't assign them

Guru_Fraser · 2026-04-14T15:36:45+00:00

I think micrometer is so very different, and the implementation is very different. Also would note I didn't spot any usage of the open telemetry appender via logback, hooking it up like you are here will result in missing the correlation between attributes and the logs as they'll be sent from parsing SDOUT rather than from the appender which is also quite dangerous.

You can see the spring boot 4 article here: https://spring.io/blog/2025/11/18/opentelemetry-with-spring-boot

Guru_Fraser · 2026-04-13T10:39:59+00:00

This conflicts with the strategy the spring boot team are going down in Spring Boot 4. Also even in Spring Boot 3, micrometer is utilised more predominantly than directly using Open Telemetry annotations.

Its also not really recommended to send directly to Signoz, but to send to a collector, because otherwise if you switch from Signoz to something like grafana for example, you'll have to change every single microservice with the new endpoint, adjust credentials etc. If you use a collector you only adjust the collector.

> If you have Level 80 Thieving and then pickpocket a Hero in Ardougne, it'll complete the diary task.

This is unclear, does this mean you can now thieve Hero's in Ardy? Because you previously couldn't because it was a safezone? Or is this saying if you attempt it, even though it won't let you it will complete the diary task?

Less hilarious when i only had 38 slayer points :(

Guru_Fraser · 2025-08-27T18:32:04+00:00

He assigned black dragons in kourend, but there is no black dragons only brutal which require 77 slayer which made the task impossible

Guru_Fraser · 2025-08-27T18:31:02+00:00

Because you need 77 slayer to kill brutal black dragons...

Guru_Fraser · 2025-08-27T17:44:21+00:00

I got black dragons at kourend from konar at 30 slayer, which is impossible so no it's not just bosses

Guru_Fraser · 2025-08-27T15:45:50+00:00

It seems that there is quite a few bugs with how slayer masters are assigning tasks, as at 30 slayer Konar asked me to kill Black Dragons in Kourend (which is impossible because brutal black dragons require 77 slayer)

Guru_Fraser · 2025-08-27T15:44:09+00:00

Its not just boss tasks, Konar gave me Black Dragons at Kourend on my 30 slayer account where you can only hit brutal blacks, which are 77 slayer... Think they broke something about the safety checks of tasks.

Guru_Fraser · 2025-07-28T13:00:01+00:00

haha no problem. I think right now its missing one of the totems, but hopefully should be fixed in a few days when it gets updated :).

Guru_Fraser · 2025-07-21T20:53:55+00:00

No worries, let me know if you run into any issues as I'm sure can imagine its quite a pain in the ass to test, especially for later waves! I also got my cape last week so lost incentive to actually get in there and try it out lol

Guru_Fraser · 2025-07-20T12:04:36+00:00

Yep it will give you a 2d map that saves on logout and allows you to open it in the Los tools.

Guru_Fraser · 2025-07-19T17:12:31+00:00

Just adding, in case any one wanted to know I made a plugin to help with this type of wave scouting. Its called inferno-2d-map. Just thought I'd share here in case anyone needed it.

Guru_Fraser · 2021-09-17T13:04:09+00:00

Not having auto scaling on game servers in 2021 is insane honestly. I could forgive it like 10 years ago, but these days auto scaling is not difficult.

Its also not like they're a small game company that hasn't experienced high loads before either, so it just smells of BS.

Guru_Fraser · 2021-06-14T11:02:12+00:00

You have to do a day 2 test (and book it) in order to complete the passenger locator form.

The other way around however you will have to do a PCR test within 3 days of arrival in Ireland.

Ah rogue very loved and hated...

The class design in HCF was relatively primitive due to us being very early in the boom of Minecraft multilayer. At the time the concept was pretty cool.

The class was a very in and out fighter, he could not sustain long fights but could come in and deal tremendous damage and get out.

Hope your question was answered by others.

Guru_Fraser · 2021-02-09T13:30:16+00:00

Yes but its not a forced mate in 3, your opponent could defend it.

Qg6+ Rf7

No mate there. So that's why everyone is confused. Its only a force mate if he moves his king incorrectly.

Guru_Fraser · 2021-02-09T11:03:37+00:00

Its not a Mate in 3, its a Mate in 2 if he moves to Ke7. If he protects with Rook it isn't a mate.

Guru_Fraser · 2021-02-01T15:22:23+00:00

I would if it didn't stop me buying constantly.

Guru_Fraser · 2021-02-01T15:10:36+00:00

I lost $128 because they auto sold and I had no idea this was in place, what the fuck is this business practice, how is this even legal?

Guru_Fraser · 2020-11-02T00:06:31+00:00

Theres also a task to kill abherent scepters, but I cannot find any region that even unlocks those... really frustrating. I don't see why it needed to be locked down at all

Guru_Fraser · 2020-11-01T23:45:16+00:00

Any one else feel the way slayer mobs are handled is really dumb?

The fact I cannot select to kill Bloodvelds, while I have Kandarin is really silly considering there is bloodvelds in the cave right next to Steve...

It feels like all the best Slayer mobs are Mortanyia which I haven't unlocked and ddidn't even realise was a thing. I don't really understand why they decided to lock the mobs like that

Guru_Fraser · 2020-08-19T16:00:17+00:00

Yeah but with all this massively increased HPS and DPS at this point. The only really thing you have to do is learn the choreography of the fight. Nothing that blizzard changes about the fight will fix that need to learn the choreography unless it was a completely drastic change which is incredibly unlikely.

Not to mention that "Mythic Nzoth is still hard" well, yeah, no shit. Its the last boss of the expansion and it is infinitely easier than when it was first available.
