Great! I place my order with @argon_forty for their EON NAS Drive enclosure and then two days later PiHut lists it. #LeSigh #raspberrypi
Still, I think there's only a three or four quid difference.

Letting go of the past is often hard for some people. Many will say, "It's what you make of the future that counts." I say it's what you make of today that's important.

It's so difficult to make positive posts when I'm surrounded by people who by their behaviour and attitude just make me want to scream out with negative responses. :devillish

I dreamt last night that I was living in Berlin, but it was a mishmash of modern-day and 1920s Berlin? That's not the weird part. I was speaking fluent French, and so were all the Berliners. O_o

Yep. It's incredible the rubbish the different midwives have told her. They came to our house Sunday, and I put Ethan almost at the top of the Moses basket. Monique went mad. "Don't do that! He has to go at the bottom, or there's a risk of cot death!" WTF? What a load of old rubbish, I said. Is he at risk if he lies in the middle too? Jeeze, they tell new mums some twaddle.

I'm sure something is missing from this report though? While ValueLicensing is missing out on potentially buying old licences to resell, I would have thought it was more beneficial for customers to surrender those licenses in return for a discount on M365? Indeed, eventually, ValueLicensing will run out of licenses to sell anyway? Maybe that's why they're suing?

So my QNAP TS-251B is fixed. Not quite sure how tbh. I read a write-up that walked you through a reset but advised that it would wipe the drives. Luckily, I could still access the NAS from the cloud so downloaded all the important stuff. anyway, I bit the bullet and pressed reset and the voice said "Advanced Reset started" after a reboot, the NAS was back and so was my content \o/
Had to re-implement my personal configuration such as fixed IP etc but well chuffed it didn't wipe the drives.

in reply to Shredni Vashtar

Good news! That's a great example why I have at least 2 backups.
in reply to Shredni Vashtar

Yeah, I'm thinking of getting another NAS to backup the TS-251B. I'd like the TS-364, but that's a bit overkill for home usage.

Don't you dare @govuk waste public money on an inquiry into Rishi Sunak and his wife. I guarantee they won't have done anything illegal which is why he wants an inquiry. What they have done is morally wrong which it could be argued is far worse given how everyone is feeling the pinch at the moment.

Never mind all these schemes for loft and cavity wall installation most of which are a scam anyway. The government should pay for every house in the UK to have solar panels fitted and make it law that new builds must have solar panel roofs. They never will because the energy industry will resist it as it will eat into their profits.
