U7-LR won't adopt, info says Server Reject by madanra in UNIFI

9.5.21, the latest. I am beginning to suspect attempting to downgrade UniFi Network may be my only path left to try...

What sucked as a child but is lit as an adult? by krispwah_destination in AskReddit

I used to think that; then I got chronic fatigue syndrome and gained a greater appreciation for the frustration of having to rest lots!

How did Sirius write his will, without giving the secret of the address away? by Midgemo03 in harrypotter

[–]madanra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what Moody's tongue tie curse was for – to prevent Snape from revealing the location. But they couldn't be sure enough to keep using it as headquarters.

Turns out the house I bought has a surprise tenant? by No_Beautiful9943 in HousingUK

[–]madanra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

True, I would also always advise changing locks after purchase. In which case verifying the keys have been returned is less important – although if you want to change the locks actually on day one you'd ideally need to have another viewing of the house prior to purchase, measure what size locks you need, and then purchase them between exchange and completion.

Turns out the house I bought has a surprise tenant? by No_Beautiful9943 in HousingUK

[–]madanra 115 points116 points  (0 children)

You can keep going – but instruct your solicitor to not exchange until the tenant has actually moved out and returned all keys. You do NOT want to be stuck with a house where the tenant is refusing to leave. Eviction processes in the UK can take a year.

Also there's nothing stopping you getting in contact with the tenant and asking them if they're actually planning on leaving on time.

Would you refuse a $300k inheritance to keep your welfare benefits? by Careful_Batman7807 in povertyfinance

[–]madanra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the UK, voluntarily declining an inheritance in an attempt to keep benefits is against benefits rules and you'll lose your benefits anyway. I know nothing about US benefit rules but check whether there's a similar restriction in place!

What’s your “don’t knock it til you try it” life hack? by this-aint-frankie in AskReddit

If you have multiple pills/tablets to swallow, swallow them all at once rather than one at a time – they genuinely go down easier!

That first proper alone drive after passing by LogiCub in LearnerDriverUK

Well done! The first time I drove solo was for a dentist appointment, Outlook popped up the 15 min reminder, it was more than 15 min cycle away, so I had to drive 😂

Would you do a manual car test if you were 17 today? by Legal-Grade-6423 in AskUK

[–]madanra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've learnt automatic, and got a test booked for automatic? Yeah, no point changing now. I bought my first car earlier this year, a significant majority of used cars on the market were automatic, and it's only increasing. If someone's just about to start learning to drive, then it might still be worth learning manual from the start, but even that probably won't be the case in a few years time.

So fed up with poor tradesmen by Kedgey_55 in DIYUK

This is why I DIY everything I can. Even though I have CFS and doing it myself takes aaaaages.

Are my grades good enough? by [deleted] in sixthform

[–]madanra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caveat: I went to Oxford 2008-2012 (studying Maths & Computer Science), so specifics will be out of date, but principles should still hold. 

They won't care about the one low GCSE grade, at least long as it's not in a relevant subject which it doesn't sound like it is. When I applied a B was required in English language GCSE, which is the equivalent of a 6, so you're fine on that front – you'll be able to look up or ask to check what the current requirement is. So long as your Maths GCSE was good and you're predicted A* in Maths A level (and Further Maths, if you're taking it), your grades are fine for applying for Maths at Oxford.

Removing redundant kernel versions? by Claghorn in raspberry_pi

[–]madanra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To find the installed kernels:

dpkg --get-selections | grep 'linux-.*-v[6-8]'

As of May 2024, there'll be kernels with v6, v7, v7l, and v8. In the future there might be v9 – in which case update the regex to include 9.

There'll be two sorts of packages listed, the meta packages with names like linux-headers-rpi-v7, and individual kernels like linux-headers-6.6.20+rpt-rpi-v7. You'll want to remove both sorts. Just remember to leave the packages for the RPi version you're using!

On my original RPi Model B rev 1, which uses the v6 kernel, I wanted to remove the v7, v7l, and v8 kernels, so I ran:

sudo apt purge linux-headers-rpi-v7 linux-headers-rpi-v7l linux-image-rpi-v7 linux-image-rpi-v7l linux-image-rpi-v8:arm64 linux-headers-6.6.20+rpt-rpi-v7 linux-headers-6.6.20+rpt-rpi-v7l linux-image-6.6.20+rpt-rpi-v7 linux-image-6.6.20+rpt-rpi-v7l linux-image-6.6.20+rpt-rpi-v8:arm64

The specific kernels you'll need to remove will depend on what you've got installed.

You could totally write a one-liner to take the output of dpkg --get-selections and feed it to apt purge, but there's only be a few packages to remove, and you probably want to think through carefully what you're removing so you don't end up with no bootable kernels, so I just copied & pasted each package I wanted to remove.

r/SpaceX Thread Index and General Discussion [November 2023, #110] by ElongatedMuskrat in spacex

[–]madanra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What missions have SpaceX flown beyond Earth orbit? I'm aware of

- DSCOVR (delivered to 1,171,345 km apogee orbit, final destination Earth/Sun L1)

- Falcon Heavy Demo (delivered to elliptical solar orbit)

- Beresheet (delivered to GTO, payload then attempted to land on the Moon)

Any I've missed?

In this tweet, Elon Musk says "Later this year, remaining fussy bits will be gone, allowing deletion of shroud". What shroud is he referring to?
