When you quote a reasonably large IT quote, and they email you back asking for model numbers, what that means is they want you to use your expertise to put together a solution so they can then take all your hard work and punt it around.
That's a black mark against them, then.

Absolutely brilliant! So I'm locked out of my archlinux.us [email] account for some reason. I thought I knew the password but possibly not.

As of 10 am this morning, I'm not supposed to drink tea or coffee for 24 hours.

𝗠𝗲: "Meh, it doesn't bother me. I usually have a cup of tea at 9:30 am and maybe one mid-afternoon, and that's it."

Guess who is now craving a cup of tea?

Given the rising price of fuel, I may have to move to London if I want to get a Free Bus Pass. Either that or become an MP and have a second home in Londinium. Apparently, I'm far too young for one?

Amazing! My car insurer sent me a renewal for Β£404.43. I rang them after looking through a couple of comparison sites, and instantly they could get it down to Β£367.64. I've gone with Hastings for Β£303.09, saving a massive Β£101.34; it's a PITA shopping around, and yes, you spend forever on the phone, but a hundred quid saving is not to be sniffed at.

My QNAP is under attack. 😞
Not sure how they're doing it as HTTP is not exposed. There's no port forwarding to it, and you can't ssh externally to it?

You know, he was able to turn the Xbox on. I wonder if he could be trained to turn the NAS off? I'm not overly worried. The password (as are all my passwords) is pretty evil and even if they did get in I backed the whole QNAP up to the ARGON EON a couple of weeks ago so it'd be Trivial to wipe the QNAP and copy everything back.

I suspect this is the issue: qnap.com/en/security-news/2022…

Ordered something from eBay. Delivery: 9th June

Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me.
Oh, and here's another one. The stuff ordered from Dunhelm: Click and collect would come with a delivery cost because half the order had to be sent to the house and half to the store however if I have ALL the items sent to the house it is free delivery?

I'm as confused as you are.
