Moving house and max available D/U internet speed will fall from 1000/100Mbps to 51/8Mbps. What can I do? [UK] in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The government were offering partial funding to install FTTP to fibre optic companies in remote areas not well served by copper DSL. Such an opportunity arrived for us; I'm in a village. It's not so far too the nearest town but the DSL node is some nine miles away. Maximum FTTC speeds are 80/20 theoretically; practically 50/20. BT are shite.

There's no 5G here, apparently it's 'soon'. 4G is pretty awful. There was no other cable (like Virgin) before.

Anyway, I digress. The cable company installed and now offer the kind of speeds that you're used to.

Have a look around for this government scheme, and pick a provider and get some support ready to make worth their while. Gigaclear have done a great job here. There are a few niggles but they are few and far between.

BTW if you're from this side of the water, as you are, it's opnsense not pfsense you need. ๐Ÿ˜œ

Husband is a lucky guy. I guess your ex was hoping for mean reversion (there's a more appropriate mathematical term that I just can't think of as I write), with/for his children..

I had a best friend as a sixth former (17-18 yo) who was around your height; I lost my bf because the person I was engaged (then married) to didn't like her. Subconsciously, I've probably always compared everyone to her and the grace and poise with which she presented herself. I'm old now.

Scandinavian girls seem to be a reasonable height. I haven't spend enough time over there to know for certain that it's really a thing; and I wasn't that sad to want to look it up! Wonder if that would suit too? It's not the 80s anymore though, sadly, and dressing is very different and difficult now.

5'9" is tall. Hope you work/wear it well! I want to say 'congratulations' .. it doesn't make any sense but congratulations anyway! You/he won the lottery.

Tall women (5' 7" / 170cm +) walk elegantly and have a poise often denied their shorter counterparts.

Never be worried about being tall. I wish I had been blessed. Both wives were 5'4". I'm 6' 183cm.

Deciding if I look a dick in the clothes I am trying on, or whether I really really look a dick in the clothes I'm trying on.

The one real advantage in going clothes shopping with a wife or girlfriend, for stuff for oneself.

Removal of old packages (reddthat.com)

I'm sure I saw somewhere some while ago a way to remove old/obsolete packages from an system-upgraded install. Packages that wouldn't be removed because they're dependencies somewhere still.

For example, the xorg drivers can be removed from my F40 when upgraded to f41 install. As if I'd installed it from the to-be f41 everything iso.

I can't find it from the documentation; can someone point me in the right direction, please.

I can't quite remember but I think it was an official Fedora package that one 'installs' which contains a script to remove obsolete packages from the prior Fedora version.

UPDATE: found it. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/#sect-clean-up-retired-packages

[Possible bug] Sharing a post to Firefox makes Voyager into Firefox, and I can't get back! (reddthat.com)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Picking a random post from the list of posts in Voyager and then using the share facility to share it to Firefox makes Voyager look like Firefox with the address bar and so on.

However, when I want to go back to using Voyager flicking back - partial right swipe on my Pixel 7 Pro w/Niagara launcher - doesn't do anything useful and I'm still in a version/instance of Firefox with the Voyager icon.

Can someone double check that this does/not happen to them to an up-to-date Android phone before I report it, please?

Thank-you in advance

UPDATE: looks like it is my end from your comments, thank-you people. I'm going back from whence I came, shame faced. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

I'm glad. Voyager is my Lemmy of choice!

Maybe it's Niagara. There's a couple of stability fixes coming through. So here's hoping! Meanwhile I have a reeducation class to attend! ๐Ÿคฃ

[pre-noob] What's the process for migrating from, in my case, Alexa, Smart Life to Home Assistant? (reddthat.com)
 

Hello all,

What do I actually do when I finally have a running instance (of containerised HA on a Raspberry Pi)? Delete all the toys from Alexa and Smart Life and start again in Home Assistant?

Is deleting everything the intelligent way to go rather than trying to transition?

My Google-foo is failing I did try to find an answer in Lemmy/Reddit/HA. Apologies if I miss an obvious place.

Thank-you in advance.

Is there a community for instrument learners, particularly piano/keyboard? (reddthat.com)
 

My early teen cousin is learning to play keyboard/piano. She likes to compose her own songs, and she's good at that, but perhaps could use some help with the basis rhythm.

I thought that a book of rhythms might help. Something like this, but it's going to be the wrong era for her on the surface, although the rhythms repeat through the ages. Encyclopedia of Piano Rhythm Patterns: Popular Piano Rhythms and How to Play Them https://amzn.eu/d/2JdTsST

Please point me in the right direction. Thank-you in advance

Abbott Freestyle Libre new user: hints please (reddthat.com)
 

Dear all

Just ordered my (first) trial Freestyle Libre attachment! I understand it's a v2 (flash) not a v3 (CGM). I don't think that they send v3 as trials.

Can I have any hints for anyone who has never used anything like that, please.

I think I saw that people use a bandage like thing to help keep it on, but hints about simple things like where to put it and showering/bathing would also be appreciated.

Thank-you in advance.

[Reddit] avoiding Reddit links in Lemmy. (reddthat.com)
 

Hi all

Is there an Android client that allows me to avoid Reddit posts which are currently crossposted and overwhelming my Lemmy timeline?

Something like Domain exclude as on the Relay for Reddit client.

Thank-you in advance
