Any question answered...

Ye the drill is safely in the kitchen atm.

Will report back. Cheers.

Get a JIS screwdriver. Shimano screws are not Philips or Pozidrive, it’s a JIS head.

Ive been using a flathead.
The H limit loves it.
Im looking for my better drivers.
Probably dunt matter but its sram red.

I have tens of thousands of files on a windows directory, I want to find files containing a particular string in their name. Takes ages. Any way to make this more efficient?

Switch to Linux

Just kidding, you could use Python or something though. How exactly are you doing it currently?

Locate32 is pretty fast once it's built up the database https://locate32.cogit.net/

Although I'd have thoughts Windows would be fairly fast nowadays unless you turned off indexing.

I suspect network is as much of a problem as anything. Files are on a server in HK. I'm WFH in the UK. Am using Pentaho PDI to do it, but even directly in Windows its just sloooow.

If a list of files is required then I'd look to do something in the command prompt.

cd to the directory involved
Something like:
dir foo
to list the files that are useful

either copy the filenames to a text file or copy the files in question to a separate directory

I don't know what Pentaho PDI is, but it might not be happy with command prompt stuff. I sometimes have trouble with accessing networked locations from the command line (but that's in Linux, not Windows).

Edit: dir sounds like the right command though unless you want something more complicated with regex etc.:

You can use wildcard characters (* or?), to represent one or more characters of a file name and to display a subset of files or subdirectories.

Asterisk (*): Use the asterisk as a substitute for any string of characters, for example:
dir *.txt lists all files in the current directory with extensions that begin with .txt, such as .txt, .txt1, .txt_old.

dir read*.txt lists all files in the current directory that begin with "read" and with extensions that begin with .txt, such as .txt, .txt1, or .txt_old.

dir read. lists all files in the current directory that begin with "read" with any extension.
The asterisk wildcard always uses short file name mapping, so you might get unexpected results.

Question mark (?): Use the question mark as a substitute for a single character in a name. For example, typing dir read???.txt lists any files in the current directory with the .txt extension that begin with "read" and are followed by up to three characters. This includes Read.txt, Read1.txt, Read12.txt, Read123.txt, and Readme1.txt, but not Readme12.txt.

I'd use Powershell or LinqPad for this.

Which forumers should I be asking for info and pricing advice on a 90s Colnago? Cheers

It sounds like you are querying the HK server (whether via DB or command line) from your local machine?

If network is an issue, can you connect to the server directly and run the command line there? Or e.g. remote desktop into another machine in HK, say a colleague's desktop and do it from there?

Too soon, too soon m8

ha! and ha! when did @saarf get banned?

Seriously, Saarf. I'm afraid I don't have contact details for him outside the forum, though.

It's easy enough to find his web site and twitter account

I have a Shimano FC-M391 crankset.

According to these technical service instructions from Shimano, I need a BB-UN26 (-K) bottom bracket with a length of "LL123". What?

Does that basically mean that the 122.5mm UN26 BB available at SJS will be OK?

https://www.bike24.com/p2137592.html

Bit of info here, says that ll23 is for bikes with a 50mm chain line? But yes is 122.5mm long.

Yeah my crankset needs a 50mm chainline apparently. Bike is a 3x8 setup. Cheers :)

On a scale of 0 - 10, where 0 = not at all and 10 = very, how disappointed will i be if buy planet x merino socks? Or planet x sorbtek socks?

they shrink, with merino cheap is never good, sweet spot is DHB if you are on budget

I'd be disappointed in you.

One for the DMARC experts

When enterprise spam filters use scoring algorithms to classify an email as spam or otherwise, does the domain having DMARC implemented influence the spam score of an email sent from the domain?

Or to put it another way - does implementing DMARC make my corporate emails appear less spammy?

@stevo_com / @Dammit if you have time to offer a pro's opinion, I would appreciate it.

Enterprise gateways' spam modules can use things like SPF results (Hard Fail/Soft Fail/Temp Error/Perm Error) to dictate a certain spam score, but that is usually custom.

What is seen is that implementing DMARC (succesfully) absolutely improves deliverability, particularly at consumer ISPs.

The former CISO of HMRC wrote a public piece the other day saying how, as well as blocking over half a billion phishing emails, their deliverability of legitimate email went from 18% to 98%.

Not all enterprise gateways are checking DMARC yet, which is part of the battle. However, when they do, they can use a successful result to bypass certain spam or filtering modules.

Why do you ask?
