so I went and checked the last 30 days to see if there is a slowdown recently... but nope, 95th percentile is still barely over 1 second, and 90th percentile is solidly around 500 milliseconds.

that's a measure of "request time" from the web server, and so it includes the time to send to the client, meaning it reflects the network speed of all clients requesting things from LFGSS too.

data says that the problem isn't a general one on our side, so it must be on your side.

I thought everyone knew that these services are essentially a scam? They can't do anything more than you can do, and by the time you've provided them with all the info to go on, you could've done it all yourself.

in this case, the hood on the scope is actually called a "dew shield", and the dew heater wraps it to create a pool of warmer / drier air to prevent the dew forming.

Placed just in front of the glass, it barely feels warm when it's on and just creates a little area inside the front of the tube doesn't get dewey

Well I have discovered that you cannot just book a dark sky area visit and hope for clear nights.

I barely had 30 minutes for the telescope to enjoy it's first light, there was too much cloud and on one occasion I had to quickly pull it back in between downpours.

I still managed to get ~150 x 10 second exposures in of Andromeda... but lolz, the sheer number of those that are not usable due to small clouds coming in and obscuring things.

It wasn't a wasted venture though, I had some lovely rainy walks in Pembrokeshire during the day, a yurt with a log fire in the evening, and I did learn enough about how to control things, set it up, operate things.

What I need though, is to be far more reactive, to track sky conditions in advance, and have things at hand to get out of London and take advantage of the clear skies when they come.

I drove through Catford once.

That's the kind of job that if the website is a public one, that asking ChatGPT to give you code examples would actually work.

Then, with those code examples, GitHub CoPilot will be pretty effective at helping tie it all together.

It's a bit crazy isn't it... but then, so is all of the stuff he believes.

Anyhow, the suspected next account for lessmann is this one https://www.lfgss.com/profiles/203963/

I see them usually within a few seconds of registering, but yet always give a little time just in case the lesson is learned (to not be a conspiracy theory gullible nut case), which means waiting until something bat shit crazy happens again.

Edit: BTW, when it shows "1 comment" against a new profile and yet nothing is visible, this means a DM. I guess they were letting someone know their new account or if they were trying to buy / sell something then they were resuming that.

Yeah it's one of his puppet accounts.

I have a DJ friend with about 5k records... It is all stored in Kallax.

He could afford custom storage, but he moved home when he was at 2k records and has a little custom storage before and swore not to again.

I was pinging him last night so asked him and he's replied this morning, the custom stuff was "£800 per meter" (about a decade ago) and whilst that doesn't mention height it was about 2m high.

He uses Kallax because it works, and the large ones are barely visible when full. If you damage them you just buy another. You can move house with them (though he's not done so for a while).

It was Lessmann who had started the thread, hence why its now gone. Can you please restore it?

Done.

Also the chainline database.

I've just doubled down a booked a "paid for" COVID jab too

oooh... in the UK? where is that from?

Lolz.

No

Yeah, already realised, will undelete later. When back at home. Currently on a customer site.

Yamaha's logo is three tuning forks, they started in musical instruments, specifically reeds and piano parts, and they never stopped making musical instruments and parts. It's motorcycles which are the new thing.

that is a nice buy, and it looks like it will do a phenomenal job

Nuked the newer lessman account.

This is basically going to be a hard ban and nuking constantly... because I will not stand for conspiracy theories, vaccine denial, and all manner of disinformation[1] being actively spread on here. I will not accept legal liability for it as admin of the community. I will not accept the social implications of others thinking this was acceptable.

Further, I won't accept being called a nazi by someone who is peddling vaccine denial and arguing that everyone is accepting govt propaganda.

Everyone has some degree of right to free speech... you can go to x.com and apparently say anything you want there, or set up your own website and say whatever you want on there. I'm not obliged to provide a platform for conspiracy theories and vaccine denial.

This stuff is batshit crazy[2], and it's not welcome on here at all, and does not reflect the community standards.

[1] Clearly with the exception of disinformation about stuck bottom bracket removal, that stuff is more entertaining... Brick Lane Bikes has an angle grinder whenever you're ready.

[2] COVID pun intended.

Flight case for CDs, they store 2,000 CDs each. They came with plastic slips for the CDs, and these include a bit to slide the booklet / CD art into too.

I recycled all of the hard plastic CD cases.

I have 3 of these flight cases in the loft, took 3 years to rip them all to the local NAS, and there's just over 6K CDs crammed into them. They're now long-term stored in the loft in these flight cases.

This type of thing... but four times the size.

They are large and heavy! Maybe I should've gone with smaller ones and just got more of them, but it's not like I move them around often.

No my account "lessmann" hadn't been compromised or taken over by a Russian bot farm. What a stupid assumption

It was the charitable assumption.

The uncharitable assumption is that you believe in what you're saying, and if you do, x.com already exists for you.

Agree with the ban and nuke everything.

My suspicion here isn't that the account was originally crazy, but that the account was compromised... very old account, likely old credentials and leaked multiple times, and they eventually found a website that the credentials worked on, and that this was a Russian content farm doing their usual sowing of discord... they must be frustrated everyone is leaving Twitter and that makes that less effective.

Have nuked it all

No change at all to that.

Wise

Yeah, just edit your profile and change it.

Your email server had declared the address did not exist as of 2024/07/01 3:47pm with the reason 550 RCPT TO:<redacted@redacted.com> User unknown.

As a consequence no email has been sent to you since that date.

I'm lifting that... so email will now be sent.

But... if the email server claims the account is unknown, it will revert to being blocked.

Uh-oh... this is for the email associated with the D-Dog account, right? Let me check that
