They started using Cloudflare which is a flood prevention service of dubious quality (for lower end clients). Everything is being proxied now via them. I'd imagine the double-post issue is due to latency there or perhaps mod_cloudflare hasn't been compiled into Apache, or the application isn't aware of it, meaning it is seeing requests from different front-end IPs for the same post. Hopefully just a temporary solution while they find an infrastructure provider who can actually filter out the attacks at the edge of their network properly and they can get rid of it again.

I'm finding the Quick reply is causing double posts. Stay away from that and it's fine

I only understand one word in that...Apache

And that's cause I had a pizza from there last week...

I think that's why we're getting Apache wifi signal at the minute.

30 years ago. In the days when you had to turn on your cathode ray tube TV about 5 minutes beforehand to let it warm up, and adjust the rabbit's ears to get a decent signal.

Still remember it well.

Up until 1981 I had an outside loo, an outside cold tap, and no bath or running water inside...all in the heart of Tralee

He's from Canterbury, so no. Probably watched it in black and white too.

And 35 years later, nothing's changed.

We had a bucket in our room for... You know... nighttime business, and as the older brother it was up to me to carry it down stairs in the morning and dump it in the outside lav.
All well and good until one day I tripped half way down the stairs while carrying the bucket!

Jesus it's no wonder you lot hate the dubs :pac:

In 1981 we had an outside toilet alright but thankfully had an inside one too and running water. With a TV that didn't take 5 mins to start up, so posh

In the 70s you had to piss in a bucket?

So you sat in the corner of your bedroom with the rest of your brothers lying sleeping and shat in a bucket, trying to be as quiet as possible?

mfceiling

Pffffftt....There were 12 of us in an 11 bedroom house!!

A mate of mine grew up in donegal. He said that because there were so many of them and the house had only one bedroom, the father used to put them to bed one at a time and when they went to sleep he would take them out and stand them against the wall and put the next one in bed. I think he was lying...

Is that a verse from The Awld Triagle?

irishbucsfan

I grew up in the past as well. It was really rough. I didn't even get a mobile phone until I was a teenager. That was a nokia, which is an old fashioned word we used, and it barely even had predictive text, I **** you not! We had to type out the words we wanted to send with our own fingers! And if you wanted to take a picture of something you had to actually bring a separate device called a "camera".

My Internet was barely quick enough to download music. I had to choose very carefully which Weird Al Yankovich song I wanted to download each day. Yes, believe it or not the Internet used to be so slow that when you opened an image you had to wait multiple seconds between seeing the top of it and the bottom of it. This led to a generation of breast-men, by necessity not choice. We were basically impoverished. Just a few years earlier the whole world had actually been in black and white, I believe.

It wasn't all bad though. You could basically make up any fact you want and noone could tell it was bollocks until they got home. Sergey Brin and the other nerd obviously took a disliking to that and ruined it for the rest of us.

Life used to be really hard.

I got my first mobile phone in 2000 at the ripe age of 25!! A gold hyundai flip phone with a pull out aerial...Form a queue there ladies!!

Growing up in a bungalow in rural tyrone that used to have frost on the inside of the single glazed windows!! Central heating? Yeah whenever the range is cleaned out, lit, sticks and coal on, back burner heated and asthmatic pump drives the hot water to the radiators...It's alright, it's 2 in the afternoon and I'm ready to head home from school now!!

Back in my day the Internet used to be in black and white. We'd all gather around and wear our Sunday best to use it. When we switched it off, we'd all stand up and sing the national anthem.

Wouldn't mind, but the local school was right beside my house, the dividing wall was only 3 feet high at one point, so If you were walking down the yard with bog roll in your hand, everyone passing by knew what you were up to, ah the memories
