DonMt think so, checked with the instance operator. He couldn’t help.

Mixed success in following these accounts. BBCRadio4 has sat on [Requested] forever.

@bloor Mine was down around 80%.

After an 18hr power outage with recent storm I also ‘upgraded’ my powerbank capacity & USB C PD options.

@bloor +1 on my SE 2nd gen. A quick metadata edit sorts it?
(Finally gave in for a battery replacement y’day, back to 100% performance).

I have another horror story from a church hall. Single phase supply. At least one bldg extension, added outdoor security lights, etc. Each extension of the installation was facilitated via its own CU but all radial spurs from the main supply. I guess ‘someone’ assumed not everything would be on simultaneously.
Caterers were in for an event with a few extra loads.
A parishioner put their hands under a drier in the loo causing the main supply fuse to blow.

@cybergibbons @wishy
Definitely!
And the environment around the CUs was a literal tinderbox as there was a hoarding habit.
Didn’t get the backstory but suspect it was a consequence of well meaning but incompetent bodgers.

Looked over some issues at a friend’s house a few years back. They’d three electric showers, not just pumped but heated too. All lights in lower floor were out too. Only one shower worked, a second failed when turned on (neon in isolator blinked), third was in a non-functioning bathroom. The blinky shower was wired from an old isolator with no clamp screws remaining on the live term. The lighting circuit was dead cos the consumer unit bus bar finger was gone, arced to oblivion (I suspect that was a manufacturing issue with the breaker). Added up load incl 3 showers & the supply fuse wouldn’t carry it. Called in a pro.
They kept one electric shower, replumbed with main pressure hot water & two pump showers. Partial rewiring with two new consumer units.

@bloor Yes, same company. Must say their ‘pitch’/product summary is not what it could be.

@bloor sounds useful, will follow up. Sorting wheat from chaff is such a timesink. Thank you.

(The Arc browser promo emails dried up around July, either they gave up or gave up on me!)

@bloor
Is this a function of the Arc Browser developed by The Browser Company? I took a look at that a year ago but it required me to ‘sign-in’ before use so turned away.

ADS-B transmissions are promiscuously broadcast by aircraft. Readily received, decoded, and plotted with an RTL-SDR device, a home made antenna & FOSS software.
Hence, Flughtradar24, Planefinder, and other tracker sites. To Swift’s annoyance, not all tracker sites implement ‘hide’ requests from operators.
