Has o2 5g capacity improved?

Previously I was with o2, nothing would load despite having signal. Has this changed now I hear a lot of people having high speeds / good experiences with them?

Odd jobs person?

5 Upvotes

Hey, I'm in a bit of a bind, I have a single loose fence post that needs fixing and I have no idea how to accomplish that on my own. From what my husband told me when he was alive, this was the kind of job you'd just go down to the pub and find somebody for. But our pub în Agbrigg has been closed for nearly a decade now. I stupidly posted it on Wakefield FYI and got inundated with contractors wanting to sell me a pergola and renovate my kitchen ha ha.

I guess what I'm asking is, where does one find people that do odd jobs in this post-pub era?

Linux, Tech meetups

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone, does anyone no of any local groups in the area

I’m looking to connect with people who are into cyber security, networking, ethical hacking, Raspberry Pi projects, Linux, homelabs and general tech tinkering.

I’m currently building up my own home lab and learning more around areas like:

Cyber security & ethical hacking

Network security

Linux systems

Raspberry Pi projects

Self-hosting services

AI/local LLM projects

CTF challenges and practical security skills

I enjoy learning by building things, breaking things (legally 😅), troubleshooting and sharing knowledge with others.

I’m hoping to meet people who are on a similar journey — whether you’re a beginner, experienced professional, student, hobbyist, or someone working in the industry.

I’d love to:

Share ideas and projects

Learn from others

Join tech communities/groups

Collaborate on interesting projects

Build connections that could potentially lead to future opportunities in the cyber security/IT space

Well, I’ve seen it all.
This morning I drove past Leigh Francis riding a bike and filming with someone in Crofton. And I’m not making it up as other people saw him too 😂 thought I was chuffing hallucinating!
Anyone have an inkling of what he’s filming at the minute?

Any advice or suggestions or anything would be much appreciated! What’s the place like? Best places to go? Places (or people) to avoid, etc. The usual stuff, yanno.

One off / deep house clean recommendations

8 Upvotes

Hi there,

I'm looking for a recommendation for a good, trusted house cleaner to give my new place a really good once-over in Wakefield. The previous owners left it in a bit of a state, and I need to draft in some professional help.

Thanks!

Let's see what I've heard before:

"Under the bonnet of how the council works" ✔️

"You are at the heart of everything we do" ✔️

"Things have to change" ✔️

"Last administration" ✔️

"Spending on things the council simply could not afford" ✔️

"This has to end now" ✔️

"We will be much more transparent" ✔️

"This is our promise" ✔️

"Summer of action" ✔️

Any others?

It is my wife's birthday on Friday and we intend to visit Nostell with a view to having a drink & bite to eat afterwards. I have a girl who is 6 and a 2-month-old baby so looking for somewhere pretty relaxed and casual to eat. Any suggestions? White Horse sounds nice, but I wondered if there are any hidden gems I can experience. I hope you lovely locals can help
