I hate this trend.

I’m quite sensitive to light, and some of these LED’s are stupid.

Getting a new bed today.

The old one tore between the pocket springs, it was about 12 years old, I got a really sore back sleeping on it one night. Had to sleep at the foot end whilst waiting for the new one to turn up…it has been 3 weeks. Looking forward to a good nights sleep tonight.

I know, the hole kept getting worse till we bit the bullet. We got really lucky also, the day we decided that a new bed was required…Farmers were having a 50% off bed sale…so epic win

I have been using a Dell one at home for ages, it seems to work well. I have used it with my Linux Mint laptop, my partners Chromebook and my Galaxy phone.

Pretty sure this is the one

Weird.

Going to the edit interface shows the correct link…must be a bug.

Lemmy.nz here

I think it is cool that it is coming up on nearly 2 million across all ~1200 instances.

Yes and no…I am on lemmy.nz and browsing by local / subscribed eliminates all of the memes and bullshit.

I do browse by all every now and then…but it is not my preferred setting.

That is probably because it is whipped cream…

I’m very far from a sports fan…I literally do not watch any sports.

I don’t get why he bothered to apologise, unless the video on stuff wasn’t the entire incident… He gives the guy a little ankle tap. From reading the apology, I thought he fucked him up, which is why I bothered to watch at all.

Community pancake breakfast with the kids, then a variety show with one of the kids, then home for inside play as it is raining here.

I guess it could be possible, but looking at the XMPP <-> GoogleTalk situation, it is very unlikely.

  • Embrace the open standard
  • Extend it with some propriety add-on, and because you have 1000 times users, you now become the "standard"
  • Extinguish the open version of the standard because users expect that all the things should work together; and now the open versions are considered “less” because they cannot work with the propriety bits.

I know work arounds are available, I just don’t want to now.

Really looking forward to Boost for Lemmy

Is there a way to create a temporary container that will disappear as soon as I close the tab?

I know there are addons, but would be nice to have something native built in instead of having to trust an addon. Current method without addons that I know of is creating a container then deleting it, but that's not as convenient and pretty cumbersome....

Firefox focus on android might be what you are looking for. Not sure if there is a desktop version.

It would be really cool to be able to take the train from Taupo to Wellington / Auckland.

Taupo could act as a central hub for a North//South line connecting with an East/West line.

Use a password manager…it will not auto-fill on the wrong website.

You would have to go and manually copy the password from the manager and into the fake website, giving you another mental break point.

I finally got a VM spun up on one of the servers…I will be setting up my engineering workstation…so installing software for the next two days (at least)

I’m not there yet…but I am really liking Lemmy, maybe I will look into it in the future. My home server is quite lightly loaded…

If Lemmy and Mastodon continues to get popular, we will eventually get Instance wars.

If the descentralization of social networks continue, we will have to prepare for the eventual rise of the instances wars, where people will start to fight about which instance is better and which one is weird to be in and so on, but that’s for the future of us all.

Just stay away from Lemmy.nz we…I mean they are VERY southern

This is why the rest of the world uses l/100km (liters per 100 kilometers), the comparison is linear and thus comparable between different vehicles in a simple manner.

  • 5mpg = 20g/100mi
  • 10mpg = 10g/100mi
  • 40mpg = 2.5g/100mi
  • 55mpg = 1.82g/100mi

The difference between 10 and 20g is easy to see as a lot bigger than the difference between 2.5 to 1.82g. 15 is a much bigger number than 5, but that 15 is relative to the initial mpg rating

In fact going from 5mpg to 10mpg is better than going from 10mpg to 100mpg, a 10g saving vs a 9g saving…the more you know
