Gallery Pause & Resume

I needed to take my photos down for a while, because of what happened when PHP met OpenAI tools. Not the first or last AI-assisted CVEs.

Update 11NOV26 - back up, with a new architecture.  I'm planning to make some other changes soon, including AI content tagging and uploading some missing galleries that were hosted elsewhere.

Some very old links might not work, but searching for the file in the new gallery will get you there. If I have time I'll create a redirect table.

This visit to a disused Tube station was a decade ago.

NAS Benchmarks

Some interesting results here.  Mainly that the 1TB and 3TB NAS devices have the same hardware, network position and so on - the only difference is the spec of the drives themselves.  The other surprise is the weak throughput of the Apple TimeCapsule, which has just been fitted with a new Seagate 8TB drive (exact model unknown).  The local SATA connection is pretty impressive but not amazing.  For reference note that my 1Gbps network should support about 125MB/s throughput.

Looks like I might have purchased FAKE circular polariser filter for my Garmin Dash Cam 55:
