Amazing, had no idea how much Pokémon lore was lifted from reality.

I wonder where he expected the shortfall to come from when he cut council budgets...

So next I'd be checking logs for sata errors, pcie errors and zfs kernel module errors. Anything that could shed light on what's happening. If the system is locking up could it be some other part of the server with a hardware error, bad ram, out of memory, bad or full boot disk, etc.

The drives in the zpool, are they SMR drives? Slow write speed and disks dropping out are a symptom of I remember correctly

Finally.

It's not just the poor level of pay, it's also the crippling workload and lack of progression. Beyond a certain point your only way to progress up the pay scale is to move into the middle management of schools, which becomes less and less actual teaching, so to get slightly more reasonable pay you have to sacrifice the reason you got into teaching in the first place. For the teachers I know who've quit though, they could never be paid enough to get back into teaching, the workload and stress, the lack of backup with agressive pupils, hostile work environement generally (multiple people have said the kids are bad for bullying, but the staff are worse). We need to look at teaching in other countries and take note, because they way we've set it up isn't working.

I find pinning my WhatsApp tab sorts that out, it seems to autoload pinned tabs into memory on launch.

You can literally see the pound signs in his eyes.

The co-op play isn't as good as in Pikmin 3 Deluxe though

It is a great game, wish the 2 player co-op was more like Pikmin 3 Deluxe though.

PS. Also that drawing's awesome 😎

I'm sick of how gambling has pervaded every part of everyday life in this country, companies targeting every possible demographic to unscrupulously pump them for cash.

Runbox is pretty good, webmail isn't amazing but just use Thunderbird and FairEmail with IMAP

Keep it simple, use Miniflux

It'd be fantastic to get some drink brewing hardware together that actually supports this standard, that'd be the real icing on the cake. Are you aware of any people putting something together?

Criminal does immoral thing, imagine that! The issue is that the data isn't being stored securely in the first place. If it's not encrypted the game is over as soon as they steal it the data. More needs to be done to ensure the safe storage of this highly sensitive information, and sorting as little of it as possible in as few places as possible. Schools are not equipped to handle this data themselves it needs to be entrusted to an entity (private/government/whomever) that has the time and expertise to keep it securely and properly manage secure access when needed.

Nah, thanks but I think I've got a handle on the options, my original reply was more a tongue-in-cheek "cries in brick wall" type thing. I mean it has its positives, I could hang a wall mounted rack anywhere without any prep or checking :)

Yeah ended up doing that in a couple of places, for me its not practical to have bundles of cable running from a central switch, because of having to run a cable through a hole in the wall, hiding it behind skirting boards (baseboards) and under floors (where there are crawl spaces). My work place is based in a really old building and theres just bundles of ethernet everywhere running across floors and loosely attached to walls etc, wish they spent the time, effort and money of equipment running fewer 10Gb runs to floors then having 10Gb to 1Gb switches for the workstations.

Yeah the correct way to do it is to chisel a channel in the plaster and embed the cable in the plaster, but thats quite an ordeal to do.

I had issues getting Prowlarr to connect to many sites at all. Jackett just works and has a huge list of working sites, however syncing them all up in the other arr services is a pain which is where https://github.com/AllergicDuck/jackett-sync-ts comes in.

Any advice for Victorian era terraced houses in the UK where every wall is solid brick :/
