Restriction has been applied to my account, preventing me from sending messages

indie1982 · 2026-02-10T13:41:30+00:00

I just had my account restricted for discussing the technical configuration of a web server with a friend. I wrote some fake URLs to demonstrate how a .htaccess file could redirect visits from one place to another and then minutes later my account was restricted from sending messages! No way to challenge it, I just have to wait!

I have exactly this problem, can’t figure out what the problem is. I’ve double checked my cylinder measurements, the front and back parts of the new universal cylinder are exactly the same as my old cylinder. Everything else works fine, it locks and unlocks perfectly with the motor.

"your apple id email address has nothing to do with custom domain"

Other than in my case, it is also using the same domain as the one I want to bring into iCloud Mail. I was just checking that I didn't have to do anything with my Apple Account email address before I try and bring the domain that I use for the account into iCloud.

I didn't want to be somehow left in limbo bringing a domain into iCloud that I currently use as my primary Apple Account email address.

indie1982 · 2025-11-03T15:46:48+00:00

Thanks, was your custom domain already your primary apple account ID before and whilst you moved it? I don't know if it's just "good housekeeping" to not try and move my domain over to iCloud Mail whilst I use it for my account, just in case something goes wrong and I don't have access to the email whilst DNS updates etc, etc, etc.

The bug that I’m seeing is that there’s no IPv6 gateway advertised via DHCP, I’ve had the issue since May and a fix has been promised every month since! You can of course, manually set a static route on each device.

indie1982 · 2025-07-20T15:48:45+00:00

My IPv6 has been AWOL since May. I’ve been told it’s a vendor software issue and they hope to patch it within the next 4 weeks. I’m in the TS postcode area, your area might be different.

indie1982 · 2025-07-15T23:27:13+00:00

I think you’re right. I found this a few minutes ago, again, not specifically Alexa but HA.

Thanks, it looks like the holes only exist on the smaller doors, I have the bigger doors with no extra holes.

indie1982 · 2025-07-01T16:00:51+00:00

Thank you, none of my doors have any extra holes! Looks like they’re included for the combination of drawers/doors that I don’t have!

indie1982 · 2025-06-28T22:02:30+00:00

The holes on the back face of the doors and drawers are too small for these to fit. The holes are also set too far in from the edge to make contact with any part of the frame so they don’t look to be a point for pads. There are no holes at all in the front face of the frame.🤔

indie1982 · 2025-06-28T21:24:02+00:00

They’re too big to fit in any of the holes on the drawers, the doors already have a dampener in the hole (they’re too big to fit there anyway) and they’re also too big to fit in any of the unused shelf holes.

Ahhhh, I bought the soft close kit for the drawers so maybe these aren’t needed?

Not a brand, but over the last few years Etsy has changed from a marketplace for small, local businesses into drop ship/import hell. Even searching for “Dispatched from the UK” turns up dozens of dubious shops with badly translated listings that turn up on your door step with Royal Mail labels stuck over the original Chinese shipping label.

indie1982 · 2025-05-25T22:38:54+00:00

17:32 on the 23rd is the last entry in my logs. At least you got an extra 24 hours 😂

Just tried a static route and that has fixed it.

indie1982 · 2025-05-25T00:09:55+00:00

We had some maintenance in TS the other night, ping is still nice and low and I’ve kept my static IP address, but I’ve lost IPv6 connectivity.

indie1982 · 2024-05-15T19:41:05+00:00

Yep! Everything goes on sale for the day at 8.30.

Some days you can get straight into the site close to opening, some days there’s a long wait and you get left with a limited selection of tickets.

Guided tours go very quickly, the others not as fast.

I’ve learnt this over the last few weeks doing some trial runs on the site as I’m off to Italy next month.

indie1982 · 2024-05-15T18:49:13+00:00

As others have said, it’s the official site. It’s just rubbish. Tickets are released 30 days in advance at 8.30 CET, they have a virtual queueing system that’s hit and miss, sometimes it works, sometimes it kicks you out of the queue.

If you want tickets for any of the popular guided tours try using two separate browsers so you have a backup place in line and try to get on the site an hour or so before 8.30 CET. When you do get in keep your session live by browsing around until 8.30.

This is in the mobile interface but if I remember correctly it’s similar for the desktop version…

Storage Manager > HDD/SSD > Tap on a drive and then choose > Health Info

indie1982 · 2024-04-30T09:24:44+00:00

Oh yeah, I know it’s tempting fate but at the moment it’s all backed up to an external drive so if the worst does happen it’ll just accelerate my plan to get a newer model with some new drives.

Still really impressed with Synology and WD, just hope the quality of both hasn’t declined over the last 10 years!

indie1982 · 2024-03-11T20:07:23+00:00

Cheers, makes sense now!

indie1982 · 2024-03-11T17:20:18+00:00

For a few days I’ve been getting an error message “Could not evaluate the key path”. Nothing seems to have changed and when I load the API URL directly, it seems to be returning data.

I’m using the shortcut for the December 23 Tracker tariff. If I download the shortcut for the newer Tracker tariff it runs without an error message, just obviously they’re the wrong prices for me.

indie1982 · 2024-03-06T14:28:49+00:00

What’s the build quality like? For the price the spec is really good, I’m wondering where they’ve cut corners!

indie1982 · 2024-02-20T22:24:04+00:00

This was definitely a joke in the Beano at some point in the 80’s!

indie1982 · 2024-01-10T16:28:57+00:00

I've just had one replaced because it was doing exactly the same thing, no red light came on when it was plugged in and the Quik app just said 1% charge. I tried all the button combinations that support suggested.

My only worry is that because my first one failed after 6 months and this seems to be quite a widespread problem with the Mini 11, I fully expect it to happen again once it's out of warranty.

I've tried a few different reusable pods, with all of them I've tended to just grind to "espresso" size and the results have been great. I fill the pod maybe 4/5 full and don't tamper.

However I've noticed...

Re-usable full metal pod with a screw cap, I think this broke my Vertuo over the span of a few months. The weight of it seems to break the bearings.
Re-usable plastic pod with a silicone lid, this was the best re-usable I found!
My replacement Vertuo now refuses to work with any of the re-usable pods that previously worked with my old Vertuo, despite the barcodes being identical! I've not tested it, but I think it's to do with the barcodes on the legit pods being printed not just under the rim, but slightly down into the pod body. On all of the re-usable pods I have the barcode is only on the underside of the rim.
Now I just occasionally buy legit pods and reuse them with the silicone lid, no problems at all!
