One of the bad things about using a VPN is that every time I look up the price for something, it's always in damn Swedish Krona.

Probably not going to be posting much from now on. At least, not with troubleshooting type posts. 

Started my new job this week, which is basically analysing and troubleshooting technical issues, so not really wanting to do work, come home, then do more work.

Found a use for some of the tonnes of spare wood we've hoarded.

So I've finally got round to actually starting to learn Japanese. Been working on memorising Hirigana for the past couple of days. Got about 60-70 characters down so far. 

Reading through a VN and come across a 4 character line that hadn't been translated, but found I was able to read it. Very simple (おはよう - "Ohayou" - "Morning"). Still, my first time actually trying to properly learn another language (especially one not based on the Roman alphabet) so even such a small achievement feels very satisfying.

Looking at IP cameras on Amazon. One of the key features of one I found is "Works great with lots of PoE". Excellent. I love lots of PoE on my devices. 

So everything is back together and running... perfectly. Much better than before and it booted first time. 

Honestly, I was expecting to have issues getting it booted, but it's working well. Temps are better than ever. GPU that used to idle at 50C is now at 19C and CPU is down from 45C to 26C.

Ended up being about 7 hours of work taking the loop apart, then flushing the blocks and rads, then taking apart the blocks and clearning, then reassembling and filling and testing the loop. Still a little concerned that one of the fittings was leaking briefly, but put the pump at the lowest setting and it doesn't seem to be leaking now. Still, a container with some paper towels is under it so I know if it leaks. In which case, I'll likely buy a new fitting for it, which will mean I'll have to drain the loop again -.-

Still, the frustration was worth making my computer usable outside of limp mode again.

Blocks cleaned, loop reinstalled and now flowing properly. Had a few spills, so really hoping nothing is dead. 

So Youtube's AdBlitz made me think I had some malware on my computer, but no, it's genuinely something that Google has implemented on Youtube for Superbowl ads or something. I'm from the UK, I don't give a shit about the Superbowl, which is exclusively an American thing, so why the hell is it on my Youtube page? It's not even a worldwide sporting event, so why is it not only displayed for US Youtube users rather than Europe as well?
 
When your advertising method feels like malware, you're doing something wrong. 

Why is the "system" for installing I/O Shields still so terrible? Can't we have like a lever-lock or screw in system? Even just some tabs that you pull back, then click in would be better than trying to force it in like we have to.
