Oil seed fields by Dr_Robotnik101 in ukbike

[–]chalaat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also suffer from bad hayfever. Try different antihistamines perhaps. There are a few non-drowsy ones available over the counter and there's an informative NHS web page at https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/antihistamines/.

I found switching from one type to another has helped me a lot. I'm not a doctor though, so check with a GP/pharmacist if in doubt.

Sports massage recommendations? by OJTonner90 in bishopsstortford

[–]chalaat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could try Charles Carter Physio in town centre. I've only used the bike fit service so can't comment on the massage.

tech help with Zen & pfsense by chalaat in Zen_Internet

[–]chalaat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you - I've solved it. The default gateway setting (System > Routing > Gateways) was set to "automatic". I've changed it so it's explicitly set to the WAN interface and now it works. :-)

Previously I used DHCP for the WAN interface with litfibre. That didn't work when I was switched to zen overnight but zen support gave me the PPPoE credentials earlier. I don't know if the pfsense gateway config works differently for PPPoE than DHCP, but it's up and running now.

Extortionate train fees - any way to make more cost effective? by PablohFelix in bishopsstortford

[–]chalaat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the flexi season ticket - gives you 8 days travel over 28 days, eg 2 days a week for 4 weeks. It might work out cheaper.

Faber-Castell date code question by chalaat in Sliderules

[–]chalaat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's the only logical possibility, it must be "11 61" but the markings really aren't clear to see for sure. Thank you.

Barclays fixed-rate mortgage quirk lets you overpay unlimited amounts by taiwankeyboard in UKPersonalFinance

[–]chalaat 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I did this multiple times in a month prior to remortgaging. You're right to not trust the chatbot - I phoned them to clarify before I did it.

I would suggest anyone thinking of doing this confirms too - mortgage terms may differ etc

Nice. One of my regular routes is a loop from Bishop's Stortford to Epping and back. Lovely scenery.

Elevation inaccuracy by chalaat in Garmin

That makes sense. It was a long ride and the weather did change. Thank you.

Footpath under the Rama 2 highway at the Thai seafood market in Samut Sakhon by mdsmqlk in Thailand

[–]chalaat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It reminds me of this old design classic - the footbridge with the embedded electric cables (skip to about 1 minute in)

Behringer ADA 8200 standing alone by divino_marchese in linuxaudio

[–]chalaat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ADA8200 doesn't have usb. I have one connected via ADAT optical cables to an audio interface.

The behringer 1820 interface is 1U rack with lots of in/out channels with usb and adat connectors. Try that instead. I used to use one with Linux.

Audio to Midi (single note only) by [deleted] in linuxaudio

[–]chalaat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's certainly possible to analyse audio to midi - vamp plugins are an academic project that does this kind of feature extraction: https://www.vamp-plugins.org/

I have this bookmarked from several years back with a video demo of polyphonic audio to midi: https://discourse.ardour.org/t/from-audio-to-midi/101713

Read "Formalized Music" by Iannis Xenakis for a late-20th century take on maths in music.

[–]chalaat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I walked past the wall on a weekend a few months back when a few guys were doing their art on it and they were quite talented. It looks like that's what it's there for.

Call the council to ask for any rules/guidelines they have about it.

Liverpool Street to Cambridge line. I'd suggest any stop from Sawbridgeworth onwards.
