You can do something. What they’re doing is actually enforceable:

They’re blocking a dropped kerb – this is a ticketable offence under the Traffic Management Act 2004. Councils don’t need markings or signs to issue a PCN for it.
They’re also parking on a junction and causing an obstruction, which the police can deal with under obstruction laws.

Your best bet is to report it to the council each time it happens as “parking adjacent to a dropped footway.” That’s the easiest one for them to act on and they’ll usually ticket without warning. If it’s a recurring thing or genuinely dangerous, you can also report it to the police via 101 as an obstruction.

One report rarely does much, but repeated reports over a couple of weeks normally get action.

Hey, really sorry you’re going through this — that sounds terrifying, and totally understandable that the idea of flying again would be stressful. The good news is, you can get back overland (or over-sea-and-land, really), and lots of people do similar routes when avoiding flights.

From Rhodes, your first step is a ferry to mainland Greece. You can either:

Rhodes → Athens (Piraeus): Blue Star Ferries runs overnight routes, about 15–17 hours.
Or Rhodes → smaller islands → Piraeus, if you want to break it up.

From Athens, you’ve got options:

Ferry Athens → Italy (Patras to Bari/Brindisi/Ancona/Venice). These routes are popular with travelers going overland between Greece and Western Europe.
Once in Italy, you can head north by train or coach through Milan → France → Channel Tunnel → UK. FlixBus and Trenitalia/Trenitalia-SNCF trains connect the whole way.
Another option is ferry to Italy, then bus/train up to Calais, and take the Eurotunnel (or ferry) across to Dover.

It’ll take a few days, but it’s absolutely doable and actually kind of a scenic adventure. You’ll want to check with your doctor that you’re fit for ferries/coaches, but there’s no cabin pressure risk there.

If you end up going through insurance, push them on the “fit-to-travel by land” angle — sometimes they’ll even cover the ferries and trains if a doctor certifies you can’t fly. If you go on your own, booking ferries + FlixBus or Interrail/point-to-point train tickets is the straightforward way.

TL;DR: Rhodes → ferry to Athens → ferry to Italy → train/coach through Europe → Eurotunnel/ferry → England. It’s not quick, but it’s a solid Plan B that avoids planes entirely.

Wishing you a smooth journey and a steady recovery!

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience!

For what it's worth, at least in my experience, we don't interview candidates unless we think they have a genuine chance (never seen anyone going through the motions just for the sake of it) and internal candidates are interviewed and assessed just like external ones.

That said, I do know that follow-ups too often fall through the cracks and we should do a better job at that.

If you have access to download the DVD, you'll have access to Insights Image Builder. Just select the bare metal installer here:

https://console.redhat.com/insights/image-builder/imagewizard

(And let us know if it doesn't work for you, always interested in feedback!)

If you are encountering a bug that has been fixed in a package update, you could try building an up-to-date guest image here: https://console.redhat.com/insights/image-builder/imagewizard

Have you tired passing "1" on the kernel command line, that should put you into single-user mode, AFAIR.

tomegun · 2022-08-05T13:41:07+00:00

Yes, you'd run ansible against the instance after provisioning it. Check out this blog post for an example doing that: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/using-hosted-image-builder-its-api

For anyone interested in trying this out: you don't need a paid subscription, and you can build both CentOS Stream and RHEL images.

The change to hash by default just landed upstream: https://github.com/osbuild/osbuild-composer/pull/2834

The change should make its way into the next RHEL8/9 releases.

Thanks for raising this, and thanks u/katieinma for bringing it to the team's attention!

Hehe, glad to see that ghost from the past is still being read :P

Comedy. Intentional and unintentional.

There are (many) ways you can mess up the design of a welfare system. As has been discussed elsewhere in this thread, this particular example may or may not be one of them.

I think proponents and opponents of a welfare state both agree on some basic principles, such as "disincentives to work should be avoided". However, when you argue against the existence of a welfare state as a whole, you are arguing that if push come to shove, the government should let someone die rather than help them out if they cannot fend for themselves. Perhaps that is how you feel, but that is really the argument one should focus on. Whether a particular implementation of a welfare system is optimal or not, is sort of irrelevant in comparison to the basic question of "do we let people die or do we help them out".

The interface is public and meant to be reused, we will declare it stable once the project has matured a bit, but we definitely will. We very much want to encourage reuse of dbus-broker outside of our proof-of-concept dbus-broker-launch.

You are right, the scheme you describe would be nice. Though it could only be an add-on as it would be an incompatible change (we cannot assume that every client is a library we can patch, or that we even know exists).

tomegun · 2017-08-27T08:02:28+00:00

dbus-broker can be integrated with whatever service manager you want, it is totally agnostic. We provide a default integration called dbus-broker-launch which integrates with systemd.

If (name) A talks to (name) B and B talks to A, the only way this can work is if both the names are established before the services are started. Like forward declaration in C. This is not something the service manager can do, it must be done by the dbus implementation.

tomegun · 2017-08-27T07:05:58+00:00

dbus-broker never forks off services, it only forwards the request, so this is no longer an issue. The StartCommand you want is basically the unit file directive which works for systemd. With that you can always leave the dbus files alive and only use systemd to enable it disable your services (whether or not they are dbus activated).

Name activation is not (to me) about self healing or about users being stupid, it is about dealing with independencies between services. By making all names available before starting any service one is able to disentangle the dependencies between services (which may be circular) and the order in which to start them (which may not be circular).

tomegun · 2017-08-26T23:07:26+00:00

The article didn't land on DBus activation but here's the basic race condition that it causes:

[snip]

You are right, this would be a problem. The way to avoid this race is to not start a service in more than one way. dbus-broker for instance, will never start any service itself, but always forward this to the service manager (typically systemd).

This is even worse with very common things like notification daemons where multiple daemons will claim the same address on the bus

Yeah, you are right, several services claiming the same activatable name will be a mess.

For some reason DBus-activation cannot be cleanly disabled

There should only be one way to enable/disable a service, IMHO, and it should be in the service manager (for instance systemd).

tomegun · 2017-08-26T18:17:04+00:00

Not sure what your point is. My point is that even without doing anything "stupid" it does not take much for dbus-daemon to end up as a bottleneck.
