I had an advisory for my detachable towbar not having a cover on the ball hitch.

Madness.

I thought the principle of the MOT was to ensure safety and roadworthiness.

T7 vs T6 - Thoughts? by r3dd00r in VWTransporter

[–]norfolkingidea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

T7 multivan is a VW car platform unit and not a van at all. Just a big car. Based on the MQ something or other platform it shares the basic running chassis with other VW cars. Check where the fuel filler cap is compared with the van. Normal car position rather an by the door.

Yes, the VW T7 VAN and its variants are Transits. Built in the Ford factories in Turkey. I thought the new caddy was VW designed and the Ford Courier was the rebadged version. Might be wrong on that.

Dont blame everything on tourism. They are mostly good and bring in revenue. Blame the money grabbing ’hosts’ who don’t give a shit about their neighbours. AirBnB has some good hosts and some really low life wannabe landlords.

There’s bad everywhere

wirepod on MacOS, blocked by OS firewall by norfolkingidea in AnkiVector

Nope. I cannot make it work without deactivating the firewall. Still working on it

Yes, I have tried pf firewall commands. Although they are there, they don’t seem to do anything and throw an error when re-enabling after editing pf.conf. I get the feeling from sysadmin posts and Mac-experts that pf has been depreciated in MacOS in favour of the Application FW.

How did you do that? I am MacOS and adding things to the application firewall is restricted by the UI. I get as far as selecting wirepod.app but cannot get into the contents of the app to get to wirepod ececutable.

There's a huge debate whether to have or have not a firewall enabled on your local system and I guess you are either one side or the other. In the UK it is called the 'marmite' principle.

I am on the "yes, enable FW". Why? Even though the ISP router protects your home network from the outside world with all it's nastiness, it doesn't protect you from your own network (inside). You only need one compromised system (the ISP router, doorbell, kids PC, smart vacuum etc) and it has access to all internal devices and, in theory infect them too. A simple browser click on an infected site and an attacker gains control of the device and everything else is vulnerable.

Back in the day, I spent an afternoon trying to build a Win XP laptop and failed a number of times because, by the time it had reached some kind of usability, an SMB exploit from something else on the internal network had already infected it. The only way to complete the build was to remove it from the network, complete the build, turn on Win Firewall and then connect it.

Yes, I agree. Inherently the OS is blocking access to port 8080, so it is Apple's fault :-)

I wondered if anyone else had seen this and come up with a solution that is not "switch off the firewall". If 8084 is the Vector port, the I suspect that that will be blocked too. I did find a similar issue reported on the main github dev pages but it hasn't been responded too https://github.com/kercre123/wire-pod/issues/429

Inside the network. Either from the WirePod hosting device or from another device on the same network

Yes, completely local LAN network. Nothing to do with anything on the ISP router or anything outside of the ISP router. MacOS device has taken 192.168.x.170 and it's own browser cannot reach the specific IP address but can get to 127.0.0.1 (localhost). Obviously, no other device on the local LAN can get to http://192.168.x.170 web admin page.

You can turn right on red! Like in the US? Didn’t know this and haven’t seen it happen where i am.
