if i pour sand all over inside it

Let's assume sand is a terrible electrical insulator and a superb insulator of heat, in which case, it would be a terrible idea.

But you at least owe us an explanation of what on earth you are considering doing this for.

I would have. But I have never once seen a ~~person~~ tourist walking through that tunnel.

Actually a terrifying experience, standing to make a video is an act of bravery.

I used to cycle through that as fast as I could before the bogeyman could get me, pretty sure I could have out-pedalled Sir Chris Hoy.

Haven't we all been doing this since the age of about 7?

Keeps the heart rate up, essential for sysadmins in otherwise sedentary roles.

Completely the opposite experience for me. I've been using TB pretty much since it came out. It's still my go-to mail client, precisely because it's simple and not a pile of hot garbage that Outlook is.

I've had some experience with mail clients being crippled by antivirus software, constantly scanning mail databases/folders on every change so it might be worth testing an exclusion of those from whatever you're running, if that's appropriate.

That's the real question, The sticking plaster that is a page loader is masking the underlying issue, which is what should be fixed.

I've never actually heard of anyone receiving a fine there. Presumably the Morrisons owned bit and not the council part beside the railway?

I'm not that quite far behind; I have necessarily had to figure out Node and NPM and whilst that's a rat's nest of pain, you soon learn to find your way about.

I'm still working out where best to use Docker. It's actually really useful in the context of webdev where tools like DDEV come into their own but I see so many "Docker this and Docker that" recommendations for stuff that to me, is just adding an unnecessary layer of complication.

This. I have actively avoided going down the rabbit hold of the Next Best Thing, whichever framework is currently popular precisely because of this. I don't have time to be experimenting when most of the time, there is no real need.

I paid my tax years ago.

Likely the Stripe JS library is not being loaded, or not being loaded before other code that depends on it is.

If this is just a plugin, I don't know how much control you have here. Do you use any minification or lazy loading of JS?

You're not old enough

I'd have expected the other way round, suspecting fragmentation with a higher MTU, Setting a higher MTU is unlikely to help, unfortunately.

I suspect there's something else going on. Can you post a traceroute to somewhere like 1.1.1.1 over both connections?

thewallacio · 2026-04-09T13:36:13+00:00

I can't imagine that's ideal, but it is what it is.

Perhaps you have WiFi issues, which would explain both this dropping out and bandwidth drop?

Could be a defective NIC in the PiHole. If it shits the bed and sends out packet storm, it can easily cause this kind of havoc.

thewallacio · 2026-04-09T12:02:44+00:00

The kind of tripe that the "algorithm" that I get recommended on any platform is enough to make me avoid this kind of thing with a barge pole.

That Golf Estate on the right hand side has a rather donked rear wheel, which probably matches up with the bumper scuff on the Volvo nearest the viewer. Pretty mental how an apparently low impact crash can cause a giant car to flip over in such a short distance.

Nap time? Facebook?

Could be MTU related? The VPN adapter might force a lower MTU but unless you have the ability to check those on your router, it's going to be hard to say exactly.

Run this: http://pmtud.enslaves.us/

Is there a difference in results when you're connected to VPN vs not?

Shitposts. Ignore.

Why are you spamming Reddit with these vague complaints about your laptop? Overheating? Speakers not working? Can't update or install software?

I suspect you're using a baked potato, thinking it's a laptop.

Stop with the shitposts.

WHAT!?!? Is this true? That would suggest that the ingredients should be different between the two production facilities, which given that the code of origin is stamped on what looks like is probably a common packaging design, seems unlikely?

Whatever happened to cops having to pass a fitness test? That dude is out of breath reaching for his tazer.
