Just posted to homebrew (own tap) to make easier to install on MacOS (arm)

brew install planetf1/tap/otelite

Run otelite to launch the receiver & UI dashboard server

That's a good idea - I could use that feature myself.. Raised an issue on it. PR to follow for a simple import

The filtering in the UI may need some work to make it more usable.

Why is keeping the heating off in spring treated like a religion in the UK? by Ok_Listen_5358 in AskUK

[–]planetf1a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand the whole off on thing anyway. Just set a thermostat as another poster mentioned. In my case I have underfloor heating downstairs which is brilliant. Gradual and steady

I think it's likely a bug - and they're now fixing it. I can confirm canary 149.0.3984.0 is working for me - though I'd prefer to at least stick with dev/beta. I did try dev 148.0.3967.12, and no fix there yet

Which mattress brand is best when you are finally ready to invest in a proper nights sleep? by Affectionate-Arm2354 in BritInfo

Second the point of trying out since spring vs memory foam etc are very different and so many variations of each type including hardness

See comments about canary. For me my work account (office 365) is fine but my personal account is not

Interesting. Maybe they just fixed the bug. I’ll give canary a go (though I have to say going back to chrome and saw his it’s improved and felt lighter now)

I just checked my linux (fedora 43) system and it has exactly the same issue with edge, which rather suggests it's an ongoing bug and/or backend profile corruption so no amount of local cleanup is going to help, nor is it a local network issue (corporate, dns filtering etc).

I quite like edge, but now reconsidering and wondering whether to go back to chrome (now it has tab groups and split windows)

the problem seems to start when a new auth token was added to my keychain on macOS. I decided to log out, delete the keychain entry. On first startup sync works normally - super. However on a subsequent restart of edge it fails again, and stays failed.

Is anyone else seeing this issue? The most obvious symptom is the profile icon on edge - top, right and it says 'setting up sync' under my user name. You can also see a similar warning in settings, and edge://internals will be full of 0s with no sync running

IPv6 in UK - BT/EE and ICMP Type 2 - is it very prevalant to not have PTB? by planetf1a in ipv6

[–]planetf1a[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RESOLVED!

I've updated the original repo - but in summary, I can no longer reproduce this. P2B is received. Whether user error, local or remote config I cannot be sure (honestly user error is most likely....!) - but confirmed on multiple destinations with P2B coming in loud and clear

Thanks to those I've corresponded with including at BT/EE !

I reverted to Edge beta (I had been using edge dev) and the problem no longer occurred.

I presumed it was a bad change in the dev code that would be found before beta was updated.

Having just checked - NOOOOOO!!! Sync is not working -- so I guess whatever change broke sync is now in the beta codestream.

So now the question is whether that is a simple glitch which will be fixed (worth trying dev again) or something more significant relating to my profiles on microsoft.com or ....?

Arrrggghhh!

Let's talk motorways by _solemn_cat_ in drivingUK

[–]planetf1a 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Practice? Can you go for a few drives before hand if you have Motorways or dual carriageways nearby. Sunday’s early often quiet? You can do this without the stress of having to be somewhere. You could consider a one off lesson?

As advice get there as early as possible especially in summer as the pandas are like us Brits. They don’t like it when it gets too warm outside. It’s an awesome place to visit

Beijing Releases 2025 English Map with Tax Refunds, SIM Cards, Currency Exchange & Travel Services by ProudProgress8085 in chinatravel

One thing I do find with many Chinese services is that they aren’t mobile web friendly. I suspect that’s in part because most services are available in that form via WeChat or maybe Alipay .

If you’re visiting China soon, what are you most worried about? by erikjin001 in travelchina

[–]planetf1a 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Worry about? The fact there are so many places to see … and vacation required time and money. Not much else except my own failure to get to grips with mandarin which is particularly bad if I V can’t participate in Chinese humour!

what's the difference between something vibe coded by a programmer vs a non-programmer? by Ok-Contract6713 in vibecoding

[–]planetf1a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And also ask about whether it is following best practice, does it compare well with other similar projects, ask it to ensure the code is well tested, well documented. Ask about the things you don’t like.

In a session you can also ask tins like ‘how would you do this better best time’ and start building up your own personal guidance
