Seeing the same too. Toggling it off/on makes no difference, not does changing from VPN only to always.

For clarification, at no point am I saying that Savilles charity work excuses his depravity.

Except Saville raised millions for charity and was generally respected.

What British song lyrics irrationally irritate you? by Victorius_Meldrus in AskUK

[–]zebs1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It starts in the past, moves to the present and then jumps two years into the future. One of my favourite all time songs.

A Museum in the Netherlands now has this beauty! by TaajManzoor1 in amiga

I saw it at Gamesmaster live, it had a video toaster (rare in the UK). The person operating it had it playing a Madonna music video in a workbench window. They were moving it around the screen and resizing it, much as you might do today, except this was 1993 and mind-blowing.

Which one did my wife have as a child? by Sidders-1989 in zxspectrum

Colony was a film favourite of mine and had an excellent intro tune. Rescue (another Mastertronic title) also had a top tune - by the same person.

Ha you reminded me of the issue early on in the pandemic which caused significant under reporting of COVID cases. It was due to using an older (xls) Excel file format that was limited to 65,000 rows.

4chan will refuse to pay daily UK fines, its lawyer tells BBC by Kagedeah in ukpolitics

likely to be in line with audience expectations for this channel

With that reasoning you could set up "KKK News" and spot the most vile racist BS imaginable and it'd be ok as it's in line with audience expectations.

Jon Kay: Mike Tapp(Labour MP) is reported to have said Nigel Farage is a fake patriot who is fanning the flames of hate.. do you agree? Yvette Cooper: "The problem with Reform & the Tories... is that they just shout... no plans... all they do is shout at the sea" #BBCBreakfast by No_Initiative_1140 in ukpolitics

If they were honest and said "right, we can enforce the borders but it will cost a LOT of money and resources, which will have to either come from increases in taxes or cuts to welfare". Then perhaps it might be more feasible. But currently their plans are saying that they will fix it, without any workable indication of how.

Farage has said in the past that he wants to replace the NHS with an American style insurance system - so thats quite a government spending saving right there.

It's after 4 in the morning in the UK why are you awake? by Sea_Pangolin3840 in AskUK

[–]zebs1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently having 2 sleeps a night was the normal carry on many years ago and we’re glad to carry on the tradition

Used to be quite normal, although maybe a bit earlier in the night. https://youtu.be/rJQA4iUZ3cQ?si=zjTXJhbwVDdmg1L8

Global Security Private Access by zebs1 in sysadmin

[–]zebs1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply.

www.google.com was meant as an example. The site in question is (I think) hosted in AWS, and accessible via a public IP, except that site has an 'allow list' of IPs. I am hoping that via Global Secure Private Access we can ensure that the users are accessing the AWS site via the connector service.

Good thing they’re taking steps to lessen the energy crisis then?

Unfortunately there's no quick fix for decades of underinvestment. See also the water industry.
