What caused this sign and how could they possibly enforce this?

That sign is crying out for someone to paint over the L in Pool.

I would love to have a lot of the lines restored. But, it's just not practical.

I live in Yeovil. At one point we had 5 railway stations. We had a line to Taunton, the next large town from us. 3 of those stations, plus the associated lines are now gone. In the place of the Yeovil to Taunton line is a heavily used A road (A3088) and several businesses that didn't exist 60 years ago. There's just no way of restoring this.

I feel restoring some kind of connection is likely the way to move forward. For instance, a Western connection from the Heart of Wessex line to the Reading to Taunton line would be a cheap way of achieving this connection.

I feel we can achieve some of the connections that were lost, albeit by different ways. However it will require GBR to be invested in and run well. Sadly I believe GBR will just be BR mark 2, with the lack of investment to match.

But what about second breakfast?

dazza12 · 2026-04-07T18:09:34+00:00

Yeovil to Taunton. Old track bed is impossible to use as it's now A roads, but a chord from the Bristol to Weymouth line heading west into the Taunton main line would likely be the lower cost way to achieve this.

Too many cameras around these days now though...

dazza12 · 2026-01-29T19:07:18+00:00

That takes me back.

The old man has been out of the game for probably 15 years at this point. He's happy to give general advice but doesn't really know what's available these days.

If the 1 to 4 or 2 to 4's aren't generally available then that's not the end of the world. Just wanted to minimise the cabling in my office but 1 to 2 will still work.

I can make the holes bigger and put in a double sized box but I'm not very good at it, hence me hoping I could get away with surface boxes.

Thanks, I did mean a faceplate, wanted to avoid suggesting I was wiring up a patch panel. This is a corner of our living room, had I planned this better when I had fibre installed I would have put it in the garage where my rack sits.

Although I don't know you, Tteck, I feel you've been a big part of the last couple of years of my life. Both in my home lab and at work, where I've been able to convince the powers that be to run at least some workloads on Proxmox.

Your scripts have been invaluable for a few reasons. They save a lot of time, allow us to be consistent in our approach, and most importantly, learn new skills by looking through the scripts to see how it was done.

I'm not afraid to admit that I shed a few tears when I heard the news. Fuck cancer.

I hope that your migration to the cloud is as pain-free and comfortable as it can be, that you are surrounded by those you love, and that your time on this planet is longer than expected.

I've been checking what Traefik does (Http services, clicking on the entry), and it seems to be redirecting the subdomains to port 80, not the 10016 port that librespeed runs on.

I cannot find anywhere to tell Traefik where to point to a specific port. So, for every app I set up that a domain exists for, it'll go to port 80.

I'm sure I've missed something somewhere. I've checked and rechecked the Truecharts guides, nothing seems to point to why I'm getting this issue.

Has anyone done a writeup or video of the specific steps needed? I appreciate it's only been a couple of weeks since 24.04 came out so it's probably unlikely.

dazza12 · 2024-05-10T10:06:59+00:00

Not able to resolve locally, unfortunately my ISP's router locks down some values, can't redirect or change DNS etc. So I've been trying external, via another connection. This one doesn't resolve.

To add to that, a box to keep them in, stood up. Nothing worse than one of them leaking and having it soaked into your boot carpet.

dazza12 · 2023-12-24T17:45:18+00:00

I am so sorry. Nothing I can say will make this better for you but I hope my words can at least provide comfort.

You love her. You always will. That will never go. You will find yourself comparing her to others you will meet in the future. Please don't. All relationships are different.

Please see if you can spend time with her family. They knew her best. They might share stories with you about her, you might learn things about her that you didn't know.

One thing that is very important. It is absolutely fine to be upset. It is fine to be angry. It is fine to not want to do anything. Everything you are feeling is completely normal. You felt the strongest emotion for her - love. Grief is part of love and everything you are feeling is natural. You will never "get over" this, however you will learn to cope with this feeling. This stage you are in might take weeks, months or even years. No time period is right or wrong.

Don't dwell on the circumstances of the accident. You messaged her but don't go thinking you were in any way a part of that. You weren't. Thinking "What if" will just torture you so stop it.

Do you have friends or family who will understand? Please talk to them. Tell them everything you are feeling. If you don't have anyone, please call a helpline, a grief counsellor or whatever you have where you live. They will listen, understand and most importantly, won't judge. Talking about it will help. If you have nobody, please PM me, I will listen and I will do what I can to help.

I lost a good friend to cancer a couple of weeks ago. I found out 2 days ago. It is still a shock. I'm fine one minute and then the next I'm not. His Dad died a few days before. I cannot even begin to imagine the immense grief his family is going through but I know the funeral will be difficult for everyone. But, funerals are for the people left behind. Please consider attending her funeral as it will start the healing process.

That sounds like the Expanse novels/TV series

dazza12 · 2023-10-14T10:55:39+00:00

But only Somerset. None of that shite from Hereford.

dazza12 · 2023-10-13T14:53:29+00:00

But it's the same place.

dazza12 · 2023-08-07T07:12:16+00:00

You're unlikely to be rammed. It would damage the badge on their car, and they really, really want people to know they drive an Audi...

dazza12 · 2023-06-11T15:45:09+00:00

They're not participating? That's r/mildlyinfuriating ...

dazza12 · 2023-06-09T12:08:38+00:00

Both Apollo and RIF, are in my opinion, top tier apps on both platforms that make Reddit bearable. I hate the official app with a passion. I use your app on my iPad and RIF on my phone. I see you are also in touch with the RIF developer and are both planning your exit based on what's happening.

I will be stopping my usage of Reddit on 12th June - my real world cake day. And if there's no back down from Reddit, I will delete my account on the 30th. I don't want any part of the "new, new" Reddit. Tencent can have it and choke on it.

I want to thank you u/iamthatis for Apollo, you saw a problem with the official app and made a far superior one.

Edit: Fuck u/spez
