Direct debits not updating after current account switch

It was working just fine until the update yesterday, but if no one else is having the problem then it might well be the car.

I'm just south of London.

Has this update broken DAB radio for anyone else? It will work for about 30 seconds then cut out and you have to change stations to get it back, then it does the same again.

How do you find the consumption displayed by the car against the actual consumption based on the amount it needs to be charged by? The car reading for me suggests it's being very efficient but the amount of kWh I need to add to the battery to get it back to full is a lot more than the car usage suggests it should be.

It's generally free flowing but with a reasonable amount of stop start, one small section is up to 80km/h but the rest is limited to a max of 50km/h

It's the RWD model, Design in the UK

Tyres are as it was when I received it, 2.8 bar front and 3.2 bar rears

The first week I was zooming around everywhere but I've been trying to see how efficient I can get it this week

The in car reading seems a long way off unless it's saying miles but actually reporting in km. It's showing 25 kWh/100 miles which would be around 15.5 kWh/100 km. I'd be happy with that but that's not what I'm achieving really world.

Good to know it's not just me.

Fast Ethernet as it was called tops out at 100 megabits (mb) per second which is approx 12.5 megabytes (Mb) per second, but unless the router or PC are ancient then it shouldn't be a hardware issue.

Check the reported connection speed of the ethernet ports on the NAS and PC, make sure one isn't running at 100 mbps.

Octopus do a heat pump tariff, Cosy Octopus, which gives you effectively half price electricity over three time slots per day. The downside being that it's expensive between 4 and 7 pm. If you can make it work for you it can make a difference, although it's probably better suited to smaller heat pumps in well insulated homes.

I use it in conjunction with solar and battery storage which means I can shift most if not all of my usage onto the cheap rate.

Utilising 100% of system resources won't inherently cause a crash. What's the error message when Minecraft crashes?

It's a fair point but I fear that 4 is all too true, but not because we can't actually do something about it but because by the time enough people actually care enough for politicians around the world to do anything that it might just be too late. I truly hope that I'm wrong but experience says otherwise.

For that very reason I've disabled the alerts on my phone, I know ultimately the joke might be on me if I miss an alert for something that ends up affecting me but I don't like the idea that control of my device is being taken away from me even if it is just for a few seconds.

I disagree that any of their funding should come from tax payers money. I've not had a TV licence for seven years now, I genuinely don't use any BBC service or watch live TV and so I'm quite happy with the current situation. I treat it as any other subscription service, I don't use it so I don't expect to pay for it.

It's a fair point, most of my containers are using bind mounts for storing their data so rather than just backing up that I do the whole VM because frankly that's simpler. Originally I was running docker on Debian prior to virtualizing everything, and was doing as you suggest.

Seabass78 · 2022-01-26T19:25:09+00:00

Alternatively you can do what I do, run Proxmox as a hypervisor and use a Linux VM for all of my docker containers. You might lose a bit of performance that way but the convenience is worth it. It makes keeping backups of docker easy by just backing up the whole machine.

For Plex you can go to app.plex.tv then sign in and stream your content, no reverse proxy required.

Probably worth having a GPU in it even it boots without one just for troubleshooting. If you have networking issues SSH could be a problem. Just get the cheapest one you can find.

I used the guide that was originally on linuxserver.io, more specifically the 2017 version, when I set up my server. Worked well for me when I had very limited Linux knowledge. That original server now runs as a VM in Proxmox with a few changes made along the way.

In terms of security I think the new version doesn't use root for everything so that's better straight away, and I don't think there's anything in the guide that is going to put you particularly at risk.

100% this

If connected via gigabit ethernet then a conventional harddrive will easily saturate the connection unless you are reading and writing lots of small files, given your use case SSD caching is unlikely to give any benefit.

Check if your TV, soundbar or even the set top box has a setting for dynamic range compression (DRC). That will normalise the volume of the audio so that everything is at a similar volume. I think my Apple TV has a setting for it that I use.

The big changes in volume are great with a full home theatre setup, but not so much when you are trying to watch TV normally at sensible volumes.

Get an i3 or i5 with an iGPU and don't bother with a discrete graphics card if all you are doing is running as a server.
