@simonlye The "not letting you know" part is the most irritating, isn't it?! We've had a couple of instances with our medical centre where we've been waiting for weeks for an update on something,only to have them say "oh, you have you call us, we'd never just call you". Wtf?! 🤯🤦‍♂️

Having "conversations" with my 3yo at the moment.... I can't help being reminded of this scene from the first episode of Red Dwarf ... https://t.co/XfxFjHToJJ

TIL: ECS is a thing with DNS. I also learnt that if you use an upstream DNS server with Pihole that doesn't support it (like Cloudflare ?!?!), then you end up with weird Netflix issues like getting American dubbed versions of English kids TV shows 🤦‍♂️ https://t.co/Gjs8JQMl3U

@_AlexYates_ @rmc47 This could get dangerous ... 😂

@_AlexYates_ Wait... we're supposed to wait until _after_ they've gone to bed?! 😬

A walk in the woods at RSPB HQ in Sandy @ The Lodge RSPB reserve https://t.co/8ZxRs4oAm0

@rmc47 @Nick_Craver @tarynpivots +1 thanks both, it was great hearing about your experiences and how many of your thought processes were surprisingly similar to ours.... Except how to deal with 5Tb databases...we don't have that problem 😱😂

@rmc47 @Kendra_Little Also "missing ;"

[Nick Howell @njhowell]

@rmc47 There was a similar Royal Mail one a while back which replaced the lower case L in the URL with an uppercase i and I couldn't tell the difference without copying the URL to another app because the font in the messages app rendered them almost identically 😱

@charlie_thomas Must be one of those unwritten requirements 🤔

A nice snowy walk this morning... https://t.co/YhkNZmhJIl

[Nick Howell @njhowell]

@_AlexYates_ 😁Enjoy!

[Nick Howell @njhowell]

@_AlexYates_ You will not regret it. I took delivery of the exact same one last week and it's *amazing*. 4K HDR on Disney+ is simply stunning and even regular ol' HD Netflix looks significantly better than on our old TV

The Cygnets are getting bigger. Here they are having a rest in the grass bank of the canal https://t.co/G7hpJ4exos

[Nick Howell @njhowell]

@alexellisuk Yep, that's what we're using. There are two builders in there which is why the config is larger than the examples you mention. Also worth noting that i'm running this on Windows with Virtualbox. Perhaps there's something there that accounts for the difference in behavior?

[Nick Howell @njhowell]

@alexellisuk Yep, I think i just called it a packer file which is clearly the wrong terminology. The gist i linked to https://t.co/qy2AMg8xpX has a virtualbox builder in there, but that'll result in an ovf i think, so you'll probably need to do an extra conversion to qcow

[Nick Howell @njhowell]

Lockdown walkies. The cygnets have finally hatched... Of course, by the time I got round to the other bank they had gone for a swim... https://t.co/tvwcZfAFTR

Had a visitor at breakfast this morning. This guy hopped up onto the fence just outside the kitchen window https://t.co/NpVoLPTp9v
