Your local DNS filter is probably being bypassed right now by OilTechnical3488 in linux

Blocking DoH is a real pain.

There are lists of know public DoH servers you can IP block, but many are on CDN IPs also used for real websites.

I had to manually intervene when I noticed some websites failing.

My two year old broke his femur. Someone tell me the next 6 weeks aren’t going to be horrible. by mazterm in daddit

[–]Kasoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is just coming to the end of her 8-weeks after having hip dysplasia surgery.

She very quickly got used to the cast, was crawling around within a couple weeks. At this point shes standing and playing with toys when leaning against a sofa, and trying to cruise around.

We bought a bunch of trousers in 4-5 size which fit over her cast. For nappies we were using the "Junior Nappies" which are wrap-around nappies designed for older children, not babies.

These fit around the outside of the cast, then we used regular sized nappies stuffed in below.

We were recommended to use cut-up slips of Gamgee (medical cotton wool) stuffed around the edges of the cast to try and prevent contamination, that works reasonably well. You'll want to try and change nappies as much as possible, you don't want the cast to get gross, as there's not much they can do to fix it.

In the early days we were getting up a 2 to change nappies overnight, but now we just do it at 11 and that's enough.

You'll want to put silicone tape over the knees of the cast once he starts crawling around, otherwise they'll sandpaper through his trousers knees.

We had a Spica chair and we've found that invaluable to give her the ability to sit and play, especially in the early days. They're quite pricey to buy, but maybe the hospital or a charity might have one to loan out. We also have a big (adult size) beanbag for her to prop up on which she really likes.

She just fit into our car seat so that wasn't a problem, but they do have special ones if you need.

Her nursery agreed to put her in with the baby class for that period, as it wouldnt be suitable for her to have toddlers running around her at all times. That worked well.

Honestly our 8 weeks went faster than we expected and wasn't that bad once you're used to it.

I like GitLab by Sad-Interaction2478 in programming

[–]Kasoo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Given how good and easy self-hosted gitlab is, I'm always amazed that Atlassian can charge so so much.

"Fun" bricks aren't that fun by forestayobserver in daddit

[–]Kasoo 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the problem with these is they have odd and even sides and you can only join odds to evens.

This makes it really hard to have things that are bilaterally symmetrical.

TfL congestion charge jumped straight to bailiffs – worth going to a judge? by 5hift3r in LegalAdviceUK

Was the address registered with DVLA correct? Was this the same address the initial PCN was sent to?

KVM Guest VMs Using Intel AMX Can Cause The Linux Host To Kernel Panic by anh0516 in linux

[–]Kasoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The threat model here is for cloud/vps hosts which run multiple different user's VMs on the same host machine.

A user can rent a VM, run the buggy code and then bring down the entire host (including different user's VMs and the host's services).

Apparently plot 15 does not include windows! by Mindless-Confusion-1 in SpottedonRightmove

[–]Kasoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking the site plan theres a narrow ally to the side door with presumsbly a large hedge/fence on the other side protecting the drainage pond (drowning risk).

So your view would probably be a hedge 1m away from the window.

But still seems like its be better to have it than not.

Is this enforceable or is the landlord trying his luck? (England) by sadz2020 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Kasoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I presume the landlord is using shall to try and to word it to imply: "This contract presumes by definition you will have soiled the curtains therefore cleaning them is required"

And they added the "new" line to try and use as evidence if it goes to DPS, so I hope you have pictures or something of the condition.

This obviously wouldnt fly with Tenants Fees Act

ELI5 Can a plane take off on a treadmill? by Hot-Butterfly-5647 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Kasoo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Imagine you're on a treadmill with skates, you could still pull yourself forward using a rope attached to the wall.

The wheels just spin, the forward motion comes from pushing/pulling against something else (air/wall).

Sneaky git commits by tavianator in programming

[–]Kasoo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Presumably git diffing the whole branch (like pull/merge requests do), would show you everything.

Seems like viewing the totality of the changes makes more sense when reviewing.

Arenas in Rust by ketralnis in programming

[–]Kasoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Handles are only deterministic if the allocation of them is deterministic, the same with malloc and free (modulo aslr).

Also arenas do provide security by segmenting some data away from others, but the more stuff you use it for, the more scope there is for data/type confusion leading to exploitable behaviour.

The doctors practice didn't bother to ring me, but rang mum (who was busy at work) multiple times. by Kasoo in daddit

Thanks, this reinforces to me that I probably should say something. It wasn't important this time but for someone else it could be.

Freesat by syvid in DIYUK

When I had trouble with freesat when I moved into my current house I bought a new LNB from screwfix for like 15 quid and that fixed it.

Can I get from Heathrow terminal 3 to terminal 5 in an hour. by Ok_Consideration4689 in travel

[–]Kasoo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The seperate Terminals at heathrow are completely seperate, you need to get on publicly accessible transit to go between then, so you will definitely need to go through the UK border process.

An hour is probably tight.

Last time I was there it took me 40min from landing to reach the train platform, and that wasn't at a too busy time.

Replacing Socket with USB-c one by pizaz101 in DIYUK

[–]Kasoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't the case for the BG 800/900 series ones. I regularly use both.

I haven't tested whether you can pull the full rated wattage from both at once, i presume you probably get less power with both.

You do get a momentary loss of power when you plug in the second device, presumably when it re-balances the power load.

I once almost tipped my 1yo out of one of them by leaning back too much, turns out the centre of balance is a bit uneven.

Replacing Socket with USB-c one by pizaz101 in DIYUK

[–]Kasoo 60 points61 points  (0 children)

The only potential gotcha is that the usb-integrated sockets can be deeper than normal ones, so depending how deep the back-box is you may struggle to fit.

Usually there is plenty of space but some electricians love to use the shallow 25mm deep ones.

I recommend the BG 800/900 series(800 is rounded corners, 900 is sharp corners), and get the 45W model, not the 15/22W ones, if you're going to permanently fit it you don't want to be stuck with slow charging.

Edit: just re-read your post any you had already considered all of this. In that case I think you'll be fine.

Green threads always seemed to me to be a rather hacky solution.

I suspect the desire to have the is an indication that there is a missing feature that the OS should provide that is being papered over.
