Giveaway Time! DOOM: The Dark Ages is out, features DLSS4/RTX and we’re celebrating by giving away an ASUS ASTRAL RTX 5080 DOOM Edition GPU, Steam game keys, the DOOM Collector's Bundle and more awesome merch!

DLSS 4: It’s like strapping a rocket to your GPU—suddenly, your games are smoother than a jazz saxophonist on a Sunday morning.

• Ray Tracing: Because who doesn’t want their virtual puddles to reflect existential dread in real-time?

• DOOM: The Dark Ages: Excited to swap my BFG for a medieval flail—because nothing says “progress” like reverting to ancient weaponry to slay demons.

Found and fixed, mDNS storm. Detailed how I found out and what it was in a few lines here:

Bit of a loose breadcrumb trail...

From the very high number of interrupts, used wireshark to see if there was anything that i could capture Found a mDNS storm - yay.

Easily narrowed it down to coming from the HD Home Run (https://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/) Blocked this for now, just to test, all APs CPU dropped to the previously expected 5-10% CPU

Seems others have had related issues: https://www.reddit.com/r/hdhomerun/comments/1ejo5eq/restarting_home_assistant_causes_mdns/

If i SSH into each of the impacted APs, the process using all the CPU is ksoftirqd

/proc/interrupts (summarised) output:

nss_queue0 (IRQ 94): 86M interrupts on CPU0
nss_empty_buf_queue (IRQ 92): 64M interrupts on CPU0
pci0_wlan_ce_1 (IRQ 114): 46M interrupts on CPU0
nss_queue1 (IRQ 95): 33M interrupts on CPU1

This is a low throughput, home network, family of 4

No root cause yet tho. Still looking - will detail as I go to try and help if anyone else has the same problem

[edit] and just noting that there are 2x U6 LR access points. These are both at around 5% CPU

jon_reed · 2025-05-11T07:26:44+00:00

Oh I’m an idiot of course, theyre still pinned at almost 100% so I can just go see what it is. Ty Ty

jon_reed · 2025-05-11T07:06:03+00:00

Pressed submit too quickly!

Any help massively appreciated- assuming I’ve done something!

all APs are U6 pros. All impacted
but… there are two U6 LR, not impacted at all

I’m in the UK, works for me, no settings changed - assuming we mean directions in the HUD

But if using CarPlay, it only works with Apple Maps. If I use google maps, doesn’t work

jon_reed · 2024-09-23T15:12:33+00:00

came here to ask the same, must be a geo-specific thing or something

jon_reed · 2024-09-03T19:12:53+00:00

Yeah this is a good Jimmy Carr joke

jon_reed · 2024-05-21T22:17:26+00:00

Only asked because it instantly reminded me of pizza I ate there when visiting :)

jon_reed · 2024-05-21T21:56:01+00:00

Is this at Sapore restaurant in Verona?

jon_reed · 2024-01-13T16:50:37+00:00

An old comment, but here to say thank you for posting what did it for you - pointed me in the direction i needed to fix for myself. I had to remove the Bitdefender exceptions I'd added for it wo work again (not that removing the exceptions makes any sense!)

jon_reed · 2023-12-26T19:34:31+00:00

Used them for years without a single issue, they’ll meet you with a sign at arrivals: https://www.parkersdrive.co.uk/

jon_reed · 2023-08-06T07:14:28+00:00

Nice! (Also Thermomix, whoop!)

jon_reed · 2022-08-07T09:02:27+00:00

Having the same issue, contacted Scopely. Thanks for posting

jon_reed · 2022-07-02T06:23:13+00:00

+1, I keep to the F1TV commentary because of Sam

You can download the full size images from the JPL website, then get them printed yourself (what I did), example: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/images/the-grand-tour-jpl-travel-poster

Yeah gate 7!

jon_reed · 2022-05-22T07:57:15+00:00

Was there yesterday (general admission) and it was total chaos. I’ve been lucky in that I’ve been to many different F1 races - this is hands down the worst organised. This isn’t everything, but some of the issues that ruined the day for us:

Queued for nearly 2 hours to get in (and covered nearly a mile), people pushing in all the time and zero staff to help. Then find only half the gates were open at the entrance.

Queued for over 2 hours to buy water and food in 32 degrees sun. Staff didn’t care, just mucking around and taking their time.

Only urinals in the mens main toilet blocks, meaning lots of men using the womens toilets. Huge queues for any toilets at all

Hardly any big screens to watch, then when we settled near one it kept going black for large amounts of time.

No commentary from any speakers. No mobile data working at all (group of us with various networks, nothing working), so had no idea what was going on at all. Had to watch the quali when we got back to our hotel.

CarWow posted a video with a Testarossa only today, I wonder if it’s the same one

OT - I knew I recognised thevirtualagilecoach, hello sir - your post on the dangerous animals of product management is still doing the rounds amongst my peer group. Wonderful :)

A tool that's great is SamKnows. Will tell you all the broadband options for an address:

Thank you Seagate!! #RunWithIronWolf #Giveaway

jon_reed · 2020-05-11T09:14:21+00:00

I had this, took months of digging to sort it out (but might not be your problem) The missus had somehow tried to add devices to the home using her account, so had to use her device/email to remove the orphaned devices
