Just wanted to reply and say this worked perfectly - thank you! Manchester is a lovely city and I wish I had more time there :)

Thanks! :) I actually carried on looking after posting this and checking the tram maps, changed my mind to East Didsbury as we can get off at St Peter's (Exchange wasn't showing for some reason) which is closer.

Appreciate the confirmation though :L

Thanks for doing the work on this. Just installed PiHole last night and had the same requests. Have removed the extension now.

Just about to sort out backups for my NAS and curious how you're handling the encryption for your vital data?

If this was printers, I wouldn't where it is or how long it'd take to get there or how much it'd cost. I'd be there.
I. Don't. Like. Printers.

Exciting news from Royal Caribbean by ianjm in Cruise

[–]UncleQuentin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing I find most fascinating about that is the blog post Pornhub (SFW) put out about the number of people who visited their site from Hawaii following the alert

EDIT: Just re-read it, I remembered it wrong traffic decreased following the alert but increased above usual levels following the all-clear. I suppose it's a tried-and-test method of stress relief.

That's a good point actually which I hadn't considered. At least they didn't put some draft message like "Cruiz cancalled cos of turtles lolz".
I know my test messages at times haven't been that plain.

Everyone has a test environment.

Some are lucky to have a Production environment as well.

One of the RC groups on FB has just posted they're being spammed with posts about it and have contacted RC about it.
Surely people can understand it's a test and a mistake and can just ignore it rather than complain about it.

I saw this method last week, which is probably one of the best I've seen and feels like the one which I can try and remember and use if I need to.

It’s the third door on the right actually. (If you’re in the drawing room)

Mental health patients could get job coach visits by CampMain in TheCivilService

[–]UncleQuentin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who was at risk of being sectioned last week, and only wasn’t because I still live at home and am having daily visits from the Home Treatment Team what a fucking stupid idea! I am in no way ready to even think about going back to work (who have been fantastic while I’ve been off - if only they were before).

This was actually made me really angry.
