This group’s activism is so tone-deaf that I’m starting to think this is actually the oil companies pretending to be terrible activists.

Mine was pretty good. Strangely I had FTTC for about 2 weeks and they came back to upgrade to FTTP.
I did a lot of the prep work myself to make sure it was as quick and easy for them as possible. I dug trenches, pulled drawstring through the walls etc.
The weird part was that they got 90% through the FTTP install and the job got cancelled because I already had NBN. I had to convince them it was worth finishing.
The longest outage I’ve had in a decade is when my primary SSD died a 2 months ago and I had to reinstall using config backups. It was down for around a day.
I’ve thrown a UPS on it and flown overseas for a week or two. It’s basically just email for me and the kids.
I’ve had longer outages on hosted services, TBH.
I host my own mail. When it’s down, the mail just gets delivered after I get online again. Almost all mail servers are configured to retry over a period of several days before giving up.
Once my health insurer sent me mail by post to tell me that my mail server was down. That was kinda funny.
TightVNC. Use TightVNC.
I visited last year. The way they handle trash is just black magic. There are almost no bins on the street. Everything is in disposable packaging. Yet, there is absolutely no litter.
The craziest example was Asakusa. I was walking around for 30 mins.holding about 10 food wrappers in my hand. Eventually a nice merchant offered me a plastic bag to put it all in when I purchased a drink.
TL;DR: Baka gaijin.
the drug is the second most frequently found substance in the bodies of drivers involved in fatal motor vehicle accidents after alcohol.
I suspect if they had a control group for this, they would find it is also the second most frequently found substance in the bodies of everyone everywhere, after alcohol.
“Reaped” is the word Google are using.
They’re already back online, and they managed to do it without missing a pension payment.
Seven out of 10 Europeans believe their country takes in too many immigrants
…So, 30% of EU are immigrants?
Why continue to keep trying
To separate the real news from the lying?
In the end it all comes down to this
Turn off SBS
I did have LUKS and a USB flash drive with a key to be inserted on boot. It was definitely difficult and caused performance issues. It was particularly difficult to add/remove drives from the array. These days I only encrypt my off-site backups that sit at the office where my coworkers potentially have physical access.
There have been recent advancements in TPM so disk encryption is easier to maintain and doesn’t affect performance. I’ll need to investigate this one day. My server/NAS is a 4th-gen i5, so it may not support the functions I would need. Full disk encryption will land in Ubuntu soon. I’m hanging out for that.
I took a dip in Horseshoe Bay (Magnetic Island) last year, and the water was well over 30°C that day. It was actually uncomfortably warm even for humans.
This is just devastating. Clunes is such a small town with cheery folk who probably all know each other.
I reckon alcohol, tobacco, gambling and marijuana should all be treated equally by law. Licensing, taxation, advertising, criminal sanctions - the same for each.
I personally would flick through the OpenWRT supported devices and pick the best supported device with 802.11ax.
This is our previous government. They got absolutely decimated last election. The new government is doing better.
Australia has the most venomous snakes in the world, and none made the list.
I used MythTV for decades. I really loved the “raw” digital output of the music player. It would casually hop from 44/16/2.0 to 96/24/5.1 between songs and my amp would decode it. I even contributed a small patch to make the visualizer work with 24bit audio.
The live TV hardware accelerated deinterlacing was really good too. TV recording was super reliable.
The TVDb lookup was a tad glitchy. It turns out that it didn’t include the year in the lookup. I wrote a patch that did it (and improved my metadata lookups heaps) but never made a PR.
I jumped to Plex around 2020. Mostly for things like streaming to my phone so I can have my music on the train. I believe Myth was better for HTPC, but Plex isn’t too far off.
I’m not a fan of Plex audio. Every time I try to make it do AC3 passthrough or skip the OS mixers, the whole thing breaks.
