So let me get this straight. I struggle to pay my bills, including my mortgage, out of my wages and yet people on housing benefits will be entitled to get the state, i.e. taxpayers, to buy their houses for them? WTF? Have I woken up in an alternative universe?

Amazing! My car insurer sent me a renewal for ยฃ404.43. I rang them after looking through a couple of comparison sites, and instantly they could get it down to ยฃ367.64. I've gone with Hastings for ยฃ303.09, saving a massive ยฃ101.34; 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.

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: https://www.qnap.com/en/security-news/2022/take-immediate-actions-to-stop-your-nas-from-exposing-to-the-internet-and-update-qts-to-the-latest-available-version-fight-against-ransomware-together

The fuel and food price rises were inevitable. There's no murky rich man plan to squeeze the poor. We've had a pandemic whereby the vast majority across the globe did not work but still consumed. In the UK, we've had Brexit, which means changes that will affect prices, and now we have a war going on in Ukraine that is affecting food and energy supplies. This is a global problem, not a local one. Unfortunately, the solution is "Time." time for things to calm down and return to a level of normality, although unfortunately, it'll never return to "How things used to be."
