I received an AWS account suspension message at around 4am this morning.

The message claimed they were unable to verify my account. The account has all current information, a current email, phone number, address, credit card details, etc. There are no past due bills or amounts.

My site was running for several days, when suddenly I received the suspension this morning. I logged a ticket immediately but am hearing nothing back and there is no apparent way to actually speak to a human being.

Is there a way to get this escalated so that I can provide whatever verification details are being requested, which I never received a request for?

The recent post about Noodle's sandbox made me think about the things we do to keep active, healthy and safe during the heat of the summer.

What are you tips and tricks for this?

Sanchez isn't a good drinker, so one super easy trick we've done is to fill an ice cube tray with water, then drop 1-3 treats (depending on size) into the water before putting it into the freezer. I've heard of people using chicken stock or other flavorings for this as well. She'll eat the ice cubes, which both cools her down and gives her a little water. Just have to do it on a surface you don't mind getting dog treat

I have an Excel workbook for tracking beers.

Sheet 1 ("Beers") is a list of the beers along with the breweries. Sheet 2 ("Breweries") is a 2-column sheet with a list of breweries and their location. All sheets have headers.

I have a data validation formula on the Brewery column on the Beer sheet so that it becomes a pick list from the Breweries sheet:

=Breweries!$A:$A

Unfortunately, the auto-complete seems to be very unpredictable. When I start typing, the resulting autofill options seems random and incomplete - for example, I just tried typing St and the resulting list of options were just two, even though I have many more than that which start with St. If I type Sto it autoco

Our pup has discovered a game that she absolutely loves.

Ready?

We throw rocks into shallow water and she either digs or barks at the spot where they sank. That's it.

She freaking loves this game. We have to drag her away once we start playing. If we're in an off-leash area, after we leave she'll often run back to the spot where we played if we're within eyesight of it.

After a while she gets rather frenzied about it - the barking escalates, and she spends more time running and barking than digging, but she never wants to quit.

I'm familiar with the problems that laser pointers pose for dogs. Sanchez has a high prey drive, so I'm guessing this triggers that for her, and I try to break

I'm running a Duplicacy Web container in my docker-compose configuration.

The Docker config seems fine - the container starts up, it populates files into the config and cache volumes that I've mounted. If I go into Settings and change values there, then hit Save, I see the settings.json file change on the Synology filesystem.

However, duplicacy.json contains nothing but {} and all of my other settings (storage, backup jobs, schedules, even my master encryption password) live and die with the container. That file is stored in the same directory as the settings.json file, though, which is changing when I save updates, so it's not a m

Cloud Sync cannot currently sync shared folders in personal OneDrive accounts. This is an issue for me because I have multiple family members whose documents I back up, and they share a read-only copy with my backup account.

I briefly messed around with a OneDrive container but didn't have a lot of success before I found out that rclone integrates with OneDrive.

TL;DR: Just use rclone.

This guide is mostly for people searching around looking for an answer to this problem. Since it's fresh in my mind, I thought I'd write it down.

Rclone can be installed locally, but this is at odds with my desire to Docker All The Things, which keeps the l

Anyone else notice when this happened?

I just noticed yesterday that I hadn't been having to mark a bunch of messages as read between my phone and the web. Now when I have my phone sitting next to me, if I click on the message in my web browser, the "new message" icon on my phone disappears almost immediately.

Progress!

In the Google Photos app, if I share a "motion photo," the person who receives it just sees a still photo with no option to make it a motion photo.

If I "share as video," it creates a full blown video that I have to email, which is not what I want.

I can use the Motion Stills app to create a video, then share both the still image and the resulting video in Google Photos... but that's silly, I'm sharing between two Pixel phones using Google Photos on both.

Is there really no way to simply share a motion photo, so the recipient receives it/sees it as a normal motion photo (that is, a still photo with the option to "play" it)?

I'm a remote IT worker staying in AirBnbs with my girlfriend and dog. We love to hike, mostly day hikes and are perfectly willing to knock out a 20 mile hike in a day. We're looking for views and to get away from crowds.

We tend to avoid national parks because we love to hike with our dog.

Assuming we aren't looking to do skiing or snowshoeing, where should we be looking in the PNW for some accessible hiking in the early season (mid/late-March through May)? I don't mind hiking with spikes and poles, but never had the masochistic streak that enjoyed breaking trail in a few feet of fresh powder, and it's tough on our (medium sized) dog.

A friend of mine recommended the Chelan area so I've

Do you find yourself getting angry for no reason?

Are you always feeling like you need to lie down and take a nap?

Have important details started to slip your mind?

Has the majesty and grace of younger athletes begun to intimidate you?

These are all serious symptoms of aging. You may want to ask your doctor about Retirement^1 - a new treatment designed to address the sudden uselessness brought on by old age.

In RE: this comment from Jabra support, it led me to this FAQ answer.

First, let's start with out utterly ridiculous this position is. They are Bluetooth earbuds; they should work with Bluetooth audio sources. If you manufacture this kind of product, especially at the price point that these are, you should be expected to support them during normal usage.

Second, how is a user supposed to know that Jabra is going to ignore customers with computer-related problems? If they're going to leave those customers out in the cold, they must document it on their technical specs, right? Nope.
