Can anyone recommend an alternative navigator to Google Maps? It really pissed me off today! #tweet

@racuna It's the Lintelek. Yes, seems so. And the app experience is so much better, for context we're really disappointed with the Fitbit Charge 3, had no end of issues. Not least the Android app is terrible.

@racuna Note, I've had it for one day. Maybe ask me in three months time. 😉 What I can say is the Charge 3 is awful.

@penguin42 @andybroomfield And '63, and '65. They'd had enough of Minis winning by 1966 and actually disqualified them on a technicality! https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/rally/watch-monte-s-most-controversial-finish 😂

Dear Internet, I'm helping an old man who's almost blind. His computer is really important to him, but he's losing what's left of his sight rapidly. He uses Windows on a normal PC. Can anyone recommend tools/settings/software I can help him try? #a11y #toot

Dear Internet, does anyone know of a reliable way to unmount and remount a #squashfs file-system with a script, without rebooting the server? Because I'm struggling to find one. RTs gratefully received! #linux #toot

@mansr For now I'm trying to run umount followed by mount, but sometimes the volume is busy so umount fails. `umount -l` works consistently for unmounting, but then I can't remount because I get told /dev/loop0 is busy and only a reboot seems to fix that. I tried `mount -t remount` as well, but that only *attempts* to remount and I'm not seeing the changes in the .sqsh image reflected in the mounted volume, so it seems that's failing silently. 🤔

@mansr It's worth a look, I suspect it's Nginx because the context here is mounting a SquashFS volume with some PHP code on (to save untarring 15,000 files on autoscaling events!) ... it all works well, except replacing the volume after a code release. I think it would be acceptable to kill Nginx for a few seconds to get the volume updated.

@mansr Anyway, thanks for the idea, appreciate it! I'll give it a try in the morning. 🙂

@mansr Actually, not Nginx, presumably PHP-FPM.

@mansr True! And this is only happening in infra where there are multiple web heads, so it should be fine. I'll check it definitely is what I suspect first, and if it is then stopping the service, unmountin, remounting and starting the service again is probably as good as it'll get.

@mansr Stupidly, I tried stopping Nginx and it didn't help, so I kind of abandoned the idea. But I've just realised now that it's not Apache and mod_php so stopping Nginx is the wrong service. I should've stopped PHP-FPM. 🙄

I really do not understand car companies and/or journalists who talk about €60,000 vehicles as the "perfect car for a young family". Really?? When my kids were small I could barely afford a second hand Fiat Panda. What young families are they on about? William and Kate??
