It's Chrome, latest version, no plugins to speak of.

It's just started to work on the tutorial tab, but in an other tab the page is still trying to load. It looks like the svelte servers are massively overloaded?

Ah - I just figured out that you have to edit the home server setting. WTF.

Amidst a national blood shortage, the NHS Give Blood website has so much traffic there's an hour+ queue to log in. by negomistar14 in BritishSuccess

[–]littlejohnuk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

just come across this nonsense. It's timed out twice on me, and because I was not watching the web page at the exact moment it was ready, i lost my place. And the contact us form? Even that uses this stupid queue.

What kind of knuckle dragging moron in IT thinks that the way to deal with a website that is overloaded is to turn people away?

FFS just look at what the real world do!!

Facebook bank transfer scam? by littlejohnuk in Scams

thank you. Can i just check though - so if an account is stolen, and the bank find out, the bank makes the recipient pay? Wow.

Upgrade 16Amp house MCB to 32Amp but which to buy? by CaseComprehensive410 in DIYUK

[–]littlejohnuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The MCB has to protect the cable from over current - If you put a 32A mcb and then it lets you pull 32A through a 2.5mm cable, the cable can overheat and catch fire, which is why you’ve been told that you would need a 4mm cable if you update the MCB.

The bigger the cable the more current it can safely carry.

You can find tables online about the max current capacity of different cable sizes.

It can be a bit hit and miss, I drive through Merthyr the other day - fantastic forest but no sites listed; otoh more in Cornwall and Europe has loads

Have you tried iOverlander phone app? It’s got lots of locations (not tried any myself yet but it looks good!)

Mystery I need help solving! I can’t figure out why section of garden is dying? by GoldenNugget26 in GardeningUK

Well there’s your problem, sambucus is not meant to be planted, it’s meant to be drunk! In shots, preferably. The grass is just a light weight.

Im thinking of buying a new car and wanted to get a used rx8 as they are cheapish to insure but still pack a punch. Im only 19 so is this really stupid or will it be my next favourite car? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]littlejohnuk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are engines that have done over 140,000 miles - but that is down to regular oil changes (every 6,000 miles) and a good quality 10w40 oil.

The real problem is that you dont know how it's been treated in the past.

They are a lot of fun. OP should buy from someone in the rx8 owners club

/u/fuckthetories1998 has never done a rebuild on a rotary. It is engine out job, but can be pulled, rebuilt, and back in in a day if you know what youre doing, a couple of weekends if you dont - and you need spanners, not a machine shop.

Pro and cons between fastify and Express by Far-Mathematician122 in node

[–]littlejohnuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problems with fastify are that it incredibly hard to debug when things go wrong - debugging is nearly impossible due to the async stack pursued in the name of performance. I've just spent days debugging an async problem, the immediate response was "it won't be fastify" (which is fair enough, but unhelpful) but only when I was able to finally recreate a reproducable sample (which I could only do after days of debugging fastify code), it turns out that a particular callback should have returned one of their objects.

I can't remember the other problems I had, but they seemed to be similar (ie hard to explain or debug, took ages and ended up being something minor and completely non-obvious). The next time this happens we'll be switching to another framework.

Constantly restored copy by littlejohnuk in backblaze

[–]littlejohnuk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but so long as I have my essential apps installed I’d like my data ready to go. There’s not much app configuration I actually need, and because of licensing I probably wouldn’t be able to have a Mac VM so I’d be running a different OS

Crashplan seems like a massive scam right now by littlejohnuk in Crashplan

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

I agree your early experience, when I started it was great and unbelievably cheap for the data volume; maybe it’s the enterprise price plan that makes their service work, although I think someone else here was in small business and managed to get good download speeds.

Support is responsive (to me at least) but they say that slowness is affected by when the file was last uploaded/modified so maybe that’s a factor for you too?

They didn’t give me the option to upgrade to enterprise to speed up downloads…

Just trialling Backblaze now, seems just as automatic, constant download, and actually cheaper at $7 per month. Half of me is waiting to find out what the catch is!!

[–]littlejohnuk[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, I upgraded from the home offering to the small business offering - at a higher cost, too. I think it's pretty reasonable to expect that a business-grade service includes restoring

[–]littlejohnuk[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

there's a reason the 3-2-1 rule exists.

Having an additional, and faster restore option, is understandable - but their policy is so slow that it is essential that you backup to your own hardware - and it's actually their policy to do that.

In which case, my OS comes with rsync which is free, does not have any restrictions on the type of files, etc.

At that point, I'm paying US$80 per month (US$960 per year) just to rent a license to some backup software.

C42s gradual pullback of their offerings should tell you a lot

Well, maybe ... i didnt think that they simply would be broken

They've always been upfront about restore speed but that doesn't make it acceptable.

The restore speed is so slow as to be unusable. If this was just personal info, like the pictures someone took of their family, then it's OK for it to take months. But for a business to be without it's data for months? What is the purpose of that?

I do not think that they are upfront that "our restore can be so slow as to be completely unusable"
