Hi all,

Sorry if this is the wrong sub but I have a question to ask and it’s about the UK so hopefully it’s ok!

I went and walked the Tissington Trail from Ashbourne yesterday (Thursday) and at 12:30 dead, I heard “air raid” sirens in the distance. They were doing the wail that signified an air raid in WWII. I didn’t hear an all-clear, but I was right on the edge of hearing them so it’s possible/likely that I just couldn’t hear it.

Given that it started dead on 12:30 makes me think it was a test, but no amount of Googling lead to me finding anything that has sirens and tests them on a Thursday at that time.

My only thought is I was a little distance from Sudbury Prison- was it perhaps

Sorry all, my memory is very sketchy on this one.

I remember it was likely an American series, and there was a man and a woman who were sneaking around some sort of secure facility trying to steal some documents that they needed. They end up getting locked into a cupboard, and I think the air was running out or something (there was some reason why one of them might not make it out).

I think there was something to do with access keycards on the doors too.

My mind is thinking House but I don’t think that’s correct.

Im afraid I don’t know when it was made, but I watched it in the last few years. I saw it on a streaming service in the UK.

Thanks in advance!

I wondered how written languages such as these would do it, as each character represents a full syllable..

Obviously in English we can take the first letter of each word, which wouldn't be possible in these languages.

So, Peoples Republic of China can be shortened to PRC, but can 中华人民共和国 do the same?

I'm sure questions like mine must get very annoying, but I'm pulling my hair out over this!

I have, for example, the root directory "/var/www/doc/Test/" (don't ask why it's capitalised like that...)

I want to be able to visit "test" with any casing.

I have a different part of the site in another directory entirely (let's say "/var/www/site/") so the root is set to this.

I have a location block doing the following:

location ~* "^/Test/?" {
        root /var/www/doc;
}

This means that

www.domain.com/Test

and

www.domain.com/Test/

both work fine and find the index.html file inside the Test directory.

However, neither

www.domain.com/test

or

www.dom
