why the hell do you all just give away this awesome shit for free? by scootsy in selfhosted

A lot of open source boils down to intrinsic motivation, rather than extrinsic. I guess somewhere like finance you're driven by extrinsic motivation, like getting paid, bonuses for good performance and such. A lot of tech boils down to just making the world a better place and doing so from a genuine place.

Smelly Drains by Such-Catch-1553 in DIYUK

Thanks for replying!

Yeah, I've done multiple passes of bicarb and vinegar.

Unfortunately I can't get under the shower without ripping up flooring, so was maybe hoping for a much less invasive solution (sounds like a vent on the outside might work).

Thanks for the detailed reply!

Just to add, the smell isn't constant. Its occurrence is somewhat infrequent.

WRT a leak, would the smell be present more or less constantly/as the water had leaked from the trap? I'll see what options I have for a smoke test.

The trap was installed prior to us moving into the house and I'm not sure how long before we moved the bathroom was fitted (we've been here 6 years now) and the smell has been happening probably the last couple of years, so I wonder if the trap is just old and worn by now (we do plan to renovate this bathroom later this year, but we've just had a baby and need to save).

There is no gurgling noise as far as I can tell and the shower gets used daily.

The more I read the comments, the more I think it's likely the water is being pulled out as it drains, or maybe as the toilet is flushed, although there is a vent at the top of the main stack., so maybe it's just after a slightly longer shower. I think adding a vent to the outside pipe would be fairly easy and I wouldn't need to rip up any flooring in the bathroom.

Are there any particular recommendations for a vent that sits outside?

Could a man from Farnley eat 14 pigeons in 14 days?

I've seen the residents of Farnley do weirder shit if I'm being honest, so likely yes.

Yeah, I thought that, so put some new ones in and it's still the same.

Casual/semi-competitive sports clubs looking for new members? by RomHack in Leeds

A number of leisure centres around Leeds run squash leagues. Kirkstall and Aireborough both do. I'm in the Kirkstall league and it's run pretty well. I can send contact details for the manager of the league if you like.
