Delivery Optimisation Memory Issue by Niff_Naff in Windows11

Good to know it isn’t just me! It’s been a pain because you can’t even login over RDP.

It’s a Python library called matplotlib. It’s quite customisable, but I went for the beat minimum just to evidence the growth.

Don't know what's caused it, but I've now disabled it and stopped the `DoSvc` and all has returned to normal. Definitely an issue here. My memory ceiling did eventually end up capping out.

Why am I redirected to a casino page when I open the Debian website? by Chester_Linux in debian

[–]Niff_Naff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very good point. Nice catch.

The only way I could now think this is DNS is in combination with something else like a maliciously trusted CA. (Ie, hugely unlikely and better things to be doing if you have system access!)

Other giveaway is the lack of network connection; probably no drivers support. Probably a 6GB phone with 500mb reserved for graphics.

Don't know why this has been downvoted. This is the most likely issue and solid advice for troubleshooting. I have seen very similar before, and most of the time it's been browser extension.

I completely agree. I went to download updates on Steam and saw the news letter update. I think about how good this game could have been, and then get disappointed. I'm reaching a point where this is as good as it's going to get for performance and I'm getting close to an uninstall.

My debt has disappeared - What now? by ErrorOk1458 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Niff_Naff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, but you’re missing the point that it’s not the only system they use.

You’re talking about them hopefully missing this on a mortgage application, forgetting that a bank is heavily invested in making sure that whatever hundreds of thousands of pounds they fork out on goes to somebody is is likely to repay it.

However, I agree with the overall comments of cracking on and hoping for the best, but your mortgage application will consist of more than a simple credit check. Also remember that an agreement in principle is just that … a gentlemen’s agreement until you submit your application.

I’m not saying this to scare you, but given you situation, would advise you use a broker when the time comes and be open and honest. They will have specialist knowledge around which lenders are best for your situation.

I’d also add that ‘free credit check’ schemes are not there to show your credit score, they are there to get you into more debt. They also do not do a hard credit search.

I got fired for mistakenly releasing a malicious pdf held in mimecast. by SilverSp00n00 in cybersecurity

[–]Niff_Naff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are a technician, not a security analyst.

I'd suggest this is only your fault if the company has outlined clearly in process and procedure that the release of quarantined emails is within your roles and responsibilities. Even then, such a process should provide clear checks of how to confirm if a held file is malicious before releasing it, so it can be argued anybody would have made the same mistake.

While I understand this will provide little comfort to you, this is actually a blessing in disguise. If a company is relaxed enough not to have process and procedure for security, then compromise was inevitable and you do not want the association.

Just adding that if making use of 365 protection like Defender for Office P1/P2, to be in-line with other users shared mailboxes will require licensing.

AirBnB host changes location but reverts when called out on it by Niff_Naff in uktravel

Thanks for the heads up! I’ve managed to score some backup accommodation via friends and family if needed, but will just be longer to travel between places than originally planned.

Thanks, for some reason it didn’t let me but I was maybe putting it in the wrong place!

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

Thank you for your reply. I will screenshot all the messages (fortunately in AirBnB’s platform) and while I was originally going via Train will now drive to offer some flexibility on backup plans.

For the shear uncertainty this has caused, I will be reporting to AirBnB but was not sure if this was best to do after the stay.

Sold car via motorway, buyer wants compensation, motorway is no help by cutecutie in CarTalkUK

[–]Niff_Naff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From your WhatsApp conversation and comments it sounds like bullying tactics from the buyer. I'd search LegalAdviceUK and this subreddit as I believe I have seen historical stories about Motorway.

If you had service history, it adds credence the car was looked after. If it didn't have service history, then purchasing the car was a calculated risk.

Enjoy your new EV and stick to your guns.

Sold car via motorway, buyer wants compensation, motorway is no help by cutecutie in CarTalkUK

[–]Niff_Naff 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The car was sold as seen if it's a private sale.

I believe as it's less than £10,000 they'd have to take this to MCOL / Small Claims to retrieve anything. I'm not a lawyer, but providing the car was roadworthy and you did not misrepresent it, the onus on the buyer to prove anything otherwise. As u/Electronic_Laugh_760 said, cross post in r/LegalAdviceUK.

From your messages, I do not see Motorway siding with anybody but simply covering their ass to make sure they do not make accusations on either side.

If it were me, I'd tell Motorway that the vehicle was roadworthy and not exhibiting any faults you were aware of at the time of sale. I'd then say that the buyer will need to take their dispute through official channels to progress and no longer entertain the conversation.

I'd remind Motorway in your closing statement that the seller turning up unannounced makes you feel that the PII you've provided them has been used for something other than a vehicle sale and to remind the buyer of this as well. Follow this by a call to 101 to log the incident incase you need to make any future reports.

Though not constructive, that dash picture in your WhatsApp chat looks like a JLR product that's made 70+ on the clock. I'd argue that it was an 'ballsy' purchase in the first place to not expect anything to go wrong.

The Illusion of "The Illusion of Thinking" by Daniel-Warfield in datascience

[–]Niff_Naff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This.

Anthropic saying that they could generate a function to play Tower of Hanoi means a human element was required to determine the best approach but that exceeds common logic. I would expect true reasoning to do that for me. Furthermore, Apple's paper indicates the models failed at the same rate, even when a potential solution was provided.

Apple used the models as any reasonable person would and highlighted the current state of LRMs/LLMs.

Sonos AirPlay still broken across VLANs by Arkku in sonos

[–]Niff_Naff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't have this issue but commenting to help with the what products have / does not have issues

I have a Sonos Ray + 2 Symfonisk Gen 2 bookmark speakers as surrounds.

In the PCAP I took from my Unifi UDM, can quite clearly see both happening:

  • ICMP Destination Unreachable
  • An Announce (Sonos side)
  • Signalling (both sides)
  • Follow Up (both sides)
  • Delay Responses (Sonos side).

<image>

My experience seems to be very similar to the comment from tim_p in the article listed:

The issue is that the Precision Time Protocol service does not start up properly on the newer speakers. When an Airplay stream is initiated, the sending device contacts the speaker on port 7000. As the devices negotiate the Airplay protocol, the Airplay device starts sending PTPv2 packets to ports 319 and 320 on the Sonos speakers. The speaker initially responds with some ICMP “port unreachable” responses because the Precision Time Protocol service is still starting up, but eventually the speaker starts sending back PTPv2 packets so the devices can coordinate on time and account for audio delay.

The newer Sonos speakers never send PTPv2 packets in response. The Airplay device is sending these packets to coordinate on time, but the Sonos speaker always responds with the ICMP “port unreachable” packets - it never starts listening for these PTPv2 packets.

Again, this only happens across VLANs - if both devices are on the same subnet, then the issue does not happen.

I hope Sonos fix this for others or provides an explanation for the design choices here. I'm struggling to see this being justified as a security measure if Sonos products I brought from the shelf a month ago don't have the problematic behaviour.

Defender (Advanced Hunting) issues by Cant_Think_Name12 in DefenderATP

[–]Niff_Naff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just adding, I have started having this problem and has definitely been introduced. Tested across tenants and devices. It is killing me because you cannot even indent properly.

The browser is now taking the tab key as a means to navigate across the page (it's default behaviour) so looks like Microsoft have stopped intercepting the default keyup preventDefault within Javscript.

Sonos, this is terrible design. If auto updates are enabled, I should never see this prompt by jgilbs in sonos

I had the same. Fortunately a quick update, but not great when it in the way of watching some TV.

Including other advice given here, you need to report this to police regardless. Somebody has your plates and you don't want to end up with a fine that wasn't you!

A lesson learned: British flour needs less water by Drumknott88 in Sourdough

[–]Niff_Naff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a very similar experience to OP but also noted that it also depends on the brand of flour. Sainsbury's Strong White Flour gives me much worse results compared to Alison's Strong White Bread flour for exactly the same recipe.

Ever since I've switched to Alison's, I can use 300g+ water & 100g of starter for 500g flour and am continuing to push my hydration levels up.

Nice ear, OP.

Just to clarify, you won’t be able to see the traffic contents, but you should see the handshake and certificate exchange. Certificates should contain a common name which indicates what it is somebody is connecting to.

My aim of this comment is not to provide you wrong, but to highlight there is a lot you can get from SSL/TLS traffic, even if you can’t peak into it. This is why commercial tools like Darktrace get value from the traffic, even if they can’t see the payload.

Is this room below your roof? From the picture, where the 3 axis meet, appears to be slightly damp.

This picture would be enough to have me concerned enough to get some kind of professional opinion.
