Bloody loved Water Rats! Aaron Pedersen was fantastic.
Just an Aussie tech guy - home automation, ESP gadgets, networking. Also love my camping and 4WDing.
Be a good motherfucker. Peace.

Am also a boring, (getting) old white bloke: is something like “rainbow folk” not appropriate?
I know the Wear It Purple day organisers refer to kids who are questioning/curious as “rainbow kids” (at least, that’s what a trans coworker told me they called them).
Edit: honestly, it’d just be nice if we didn’t have to label people at all. Y’know - everyone’s a human deserving of dignity and respect, no matter where they come from, how they look, what they believe in, and who they love.
But, again, I get that I’m a boring old white bloke, and it’s probably a lot easier for me to say this than it is for those folks who feel oppressed/suppressed in some way. I just wish it weren’t the case.
Nice try, Agent Smith.
Oh, I’m a member, cobber. No worries there. ;)
As an outside observer of all the religious, right-wing bullshit going on in the US, I’m loving what TST are doing.
Unless you’re stuck in corporate hell where either one of these things isn’t possible.
It’s about fitness for purpose, IMO.
I recently migrated most of my homelab to Proxmox running on a pair of x86 boxes. I did it because I was cutting the streaming cord, and wanted to build a beefy Plex capability for myself. I also wanted to virtualise my router/firewall with OPNsense.
Once I mastered Proxmox, and truly came to appreciate both the clean separation of services and the rapid prototyping capability it gave me, I migrated a lot of my homelab over.
But, I still use RasPis for a few purposes: Frigate server, second Pi-hole instance, backup Wireguard server. I even have one dedicated to hosting temperature sensors, reed switches, and webcams for our pet lizard’s enclosure.
Each has their place for me.
Or, maybe, they could address the terrible cost of living crisis that’s facing hard-working families in Australia. Start with kicking Colesworth up the arse for profiteering, then the energy sector.
Lol - this week in “When Clueless Leaders Try and Talk Tech”
Certainly seems like it, doesn’t it? Like I said, they’re gutless. Unwilling to commit to acting on their empty promises when the time comes.
I switched to using using Obtainium to install directty from dev repos as much as possible, and am adding Fossify’s projects as they release. IMO, It’s the best way to ensure you get the app you want, without letting middle-men push their agenda or mine your data.
OP searched for Fossify - the Simple fork. That’s the point here - the new owner of Simple has added the keyword ‘fossify’ so they turn up in the search results, which no doubt prioritises apps with higher install counts.
OP is searching for Fossify - the forked set of Simple’s projects. That’s the point of the post, I think.
Ah, nice one. Still, a bit annoying that it’s opt out, rather than opt in.
what LNP are actually doing is very different to what they said on the campaign trail
Their Victorian branch literally just pulled support for what was a bipartisan promise for an Indigenous Treaty - something that had been promised for years.
Until the LNP gets rid of their conservative, gutless, old, white, male policy-makers, we’ll never progress as a society. And I’m an (almost) old, white male.
This is why all my automations are in Node-Red. Reusability.
Saved me the effort, thanks. Although, couldn’t you just block the container from talking outside your network? I can’t see why I’d need a memo app (server) to have access to the internet.
This is a tough one, that takes practice and mental discipline.
You’ve already acknowledged that you can’t change how things ended with this individual. Right now, you’re in a very natural place for humans to be: you’re feeling powerless, like someone has done something to you, and you want to blame that other person for how you’re feeling.
The bit that takes practice and discipline is that you CAN change how you choose to react to things like this. You can take accountability for your reactions and emotions.
Why is this irritating you so much? What is it about the exchange that annoyed you, and makes you wish you could reply? If you had the chance to reply, would you want to do the same thing - reply and block - or continue arguing? To what end? What outcome is it that you want?
Accepting reality starts with acknowledging there are things you can’t change. You’ve already said that, so you know this is the right path to continue going down.
The bit you need to try and take accountability for is understanding why you’re feeling the way you are. This isn’t about the person “robbing you” of the chance to reply. It’s about why you feel so strongly that you need to reply.
Until you know why this pissed you off so much, you can’t take meaningful steps to getting yourself into a better emotional state.
Edit: I feel bad that your OP is getting downvoted. You’ve asked a legitimate question about mental health, and some people are clearly writing you off as you having a whinge.
