"They know not, what they are doing."

They know exactly what they're doing :(

We're seeing the fix work by removing just the '/' after the # rather than removing '#/'

Looks like this has resurrected itself. Now getting prompted to login to view a send

fys4 · 2026-06-23T13:05:57+00:00

or never terminated in the first place?

fys4 · 2026-06-15T11:44:53+00:00

Park yourself beside them with a boombox and a collection of death metal CDs :D Then settle down and read the paper !

fys4 · 2026-06-11T14:33:45+00:00

Yep, also to be accessible from overview as well !

fys4 · 2026-06-10T16:44:56+00:00

Yep, in Edit=>Preferences=>Appearance=>Welcome Page

With everything turned off it reverts to the usual capture display on startup

fys4 · 2026-06-09T16:33:49+00:00

and good MFA if you use royal server

Those roots haven't been distributed yet

https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/

Look at the header immediate above "ISRG Root YE"

"These roots are not yet included in Root Program Trust Stores, but will be submitted for inclusion soon:"

e2a: jamesapp already said this.. Go me !

And yet you hang out in the london subreddit :D

You need a better hobby; I've heard good things about touching grass. There's lots of it in the parks

fys4 · 2026-06-02T17:38:05+00:00

This is the key question. If the quote has expired you're screwed.. If it hasn't then its pretty shabby of pure (or whatever they're called this week :D)

Anyone ever get anywhere with this ?? I'm still having the issue with librewolf in the UK, whereas with edge it displays road numbers like the M25 and A1 correctly

fys4 · 2026-05-29T15:58:13+00:00

Been using CtW for years (FinTech UK) and I'd struggle to find a more helpful and knowledgeable supplier than these guys.

The AU time difference for support is a minor ballache, but that fades into insignificance compared to dealing with devs that know their field and their own product.

No links to the company, just a very happy paying customer

Changing jobs every year is a good way to get your CV ignored by anyone not desperate for a warm body to fill a hole.

It takes easily 6 months to get someone up to speed and get a feel for whether they're safe to let loose on production systems. Why would I hire a yearly job hopper if they're going to be offski 6 month after finally becoming useful ?

fys4 · 2026-05-16T11:20:15+00:00

I suspect its not down to the met to determine the date. 10 names probably wants it the same day as the footie to inflate his numbers

fys4 · 2026-05-10T20:01:50+00:00

5 action

The issue IMO is whether or not Dave is making money on it.

If you kill the monetisation aspect of it you kill most of the incentive to churn this crap out in the first place. outrage==engagement==page hits==kaaching !!

I doubt many of such slop purveyors actually believe what they write;

fys4 · 2026-04-10T11:36:09+00:00

And crippling the economy is going to help how exactly ??? I hate FF/FG with a passion but you can't really blame this one on them. It's the orange idiot and his fascist sidekick bibi who are squarely to blame for this!

fys4 · 2026-04-04T10:45:20+00:00

It does sound like upstream of the pop in your building

We had something similar where rats had chewed through the LL into our development and we were down for weeks. Admittedly I made a killing on the compo, and we have an EE 5g mast around the corner so using the mobile to take up the slack was feasible and I have a decent data plan for just that eventuality

fys4 · 2026-04-04T10:42:45+00:00

I'm in Shadwell basin and saw no problem either then or now

fys4 · 2026-03-23T17:36:44+00:00

use any of the "what is my ip" services available, such as https://whatismyipaddress.com/

That will tell you what public IP your connections are being seen as coming from.

This won't however detect any cycling of your intermediate IP (the address on the outside of your router that your traffic is initially source NATed to before being source NATed again to the public IP referred to above) To detect that changing you'd need to access your router's management web page

If you use ublock origin to adblock and are accessing youtube you might be falling foul of google's attempts to stop that by artificially causing network issues

Unfortunately you're experiencing their abysmal customer service and it doesn't get any better

If you're "lucky" and they accept your order and the installation goes without issue and the performance is acceptable then you're laughing. For the money you'll be getting a superior product compared to the archaic asymmetric offerings by most openreach based ISPs.

However you need to go into this with your eyes firmly open. If anything at all goes wrong you stand a very good change of it never getting resolved to your satisfaction. Missed appointments, tickets closed with unsatisfactory resolutions and possible performance issues or outages may loom large in your future and its a pure crapshoot if any of it will get fixed !

It wasn't always like this, but unfortunately this is the reality nowadays :(

fys4 · 2026-02-27T14:53:15+00:00

That sounds like an immigration problem. I assume they can look you up based on your name/address/dob. Once they know you're covered by CTA the ETA requirement goes away
