The saga so far I have a phone line from BT. I only use it for ADSL (which I get from Zen Internet). I gave my email address to BT because they offered to tell me useful things about my account via email. I now wish I had never done this. I use extension addresses [...]
I had an interesting support ticket yesterday. Someone was trying to do an apt-get update via BitFolk‘s apt cache and was ending up connecting to 2607:f0d0:1003:85::c40a:2942, where it was failing to update. This is not a BitFolk IPv6 address, nor is it the IPv6 address of a Debian mirror. Where was it coming from? I’d [...]

Feltham Airparcs leisure centre has for the last 2 weeks — and ongoing — closed at 4pm, instead of 10pm, because the emergency lighting doesn’t work. The actual lighting works fine, it’s just that if the lighting did fail then there’d be no emergency lights directing the shallow end of the gene pool to safety. [...]
