Happy Holidays to one and all. It’s time to gather ’round the fire with your loved ones for our nation’s oldest and finest tradition: reading about people that jammed things in their holes and couldn’t get them out without medical intervention. All reports are taken from the U.S. Consumer Product Sa...
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
I'm pretty happy here in our corner of Lemmy. Why would I want to know what's going everywhere on the internet all at once?
The resdit post referred to by the top level comment mentions that winners of very large jackpots turn up dead with alarming frequency.
Also the bigger the jackpot the more people get sued, family kidnapped, harassed, etc. A miserable existence apparently.
Slow lately
I noticed recently there's some slowness in the mornings. Things taking a while to load. Comments failing due to timeout etc.
When I switch to another instance everything works again so pretty sure it's not my internet.
Is there anything we can do or help with? Are there DOS or bot shenanigans going on?
Keeping sending the checks to inflate their balances.
They exist here in Australia too. Which is a Commonwealth country with lots of English influenced heritage and culture.
I mean that's the point. He's clearly Don Putin in this configuration.
Always thought it was "back pussy". Completely gender neutral.
Just read the Mormons have some cash laying around. Maybe tax that a bit?
Cheers mate. That's all I wanted to know. Common sense and Aussie values basically.
Looking for a new home... Federation policy?
I joined .world before aussie.zone was a thing. Now with them banning all the piracy communities it seems a slippery slope for all other kinds of discussions too.
I'm Australian. Aussies are notorious pirates. Does aussie.zone have plans to also defederate dbzer0 etc?
Just want some clarity before moving here.
Thanks!
I've been very happy with Ubiquity Edgerouters the last few years. Their ER-X model can do 1Gbps total... So if you're downloading at 500Mbps then you can upload at 500Mbps. It come in about USD 60 I think.
Next level up is the Edgerouter Lite 3. It is much beefier and can easily handle 1Gbps both ways and even faster. It's just under $100. 99 or so. Maybe you can find it on special.
They are really prosumer and definitely much stabler than typical consumer routers. Eg I haven't reset mine in more than 2 years.
It's not open source like mikrotik but they are very hacker and tech use friendly. Most things work via CLI. And most advanced router functions are supported.
What do you want to do? How fast is your internet? 1Gbps fibre requires something much beefier than 50Mbps.
How many servers do you have going? Are people accessing them from outside?
How many people in your household? Are they gamers and need low latency? Heavy streamers? Working from home needing VPNs?
Without this context just look at a pricelist.
The ads with Tom Gleisner spliced into the videos on HYBPA has been a pretty funny ongoing gag.
Shit's fucked. Could be a scam too. Apparently common on Facebook at the moment people advertise a room or something like this and then when people start messaging they ask for the first week payment to secure it before everyone else.
So they get a dozen or so people's $200.
Just be less poor. /s
But seriously in business class you can tell them if you want to be woken up or not and they'll remember and respect it. Or course you can also probably get something to eat even if you missed meal service.
That was insane. That shootout was an emotional rollercoaster.
Going to suggest some less mainstream ones.
Fisk - Australian comedy just released worldwide on Netflix
Rake - not quite a comedy but a drama with lots of funny and reeiculous moments. Also Australian also Netflix
Working moms - Canadian comedy... Maybe it's more funny if you've had kids before but it's pretty good and what we're watching right now.
Rosehaven. More obscure so not sure how you'll find it but Australian and very sweet comedy.
There's a great video talking about this and also about how Fuji film had a different strategy and survived.
2 of the dead people were her parents-in-law. So her ex husband's parents.
Star trek is notorious for having bad first seasons.
Popularity in the USA
I'm Australian and went on a business trip last month to the UK and to the USA.
In the UK I didn't see Bluey anywhere, but in the USA I saw Bluey stuff everywhere. Every hotel room at some point flipping channels Disney Jr seemed to have Bluey on all the time. I saw kids wearing Bluey merch when out and about. I saw Bluey merch in stores. Even on a flight, the kids in front of me were watching Bluey on the inflight entertainment.
At one hotel I had to go down the hallway to get some ice, and was wearing my Bandit PJ t-shirt. Another guy in his 30s came out of the elevator and was like "OMG I love your shirt! We all love Bluey!"
So my question is, will the next generation of American squibs all have an Australian accent?
Refresh button
At the moment if you're inside a post and you want to refresh the comments you have to go all the way to the top and do the pull-down to refresh. Generally this is fine.
However a lot of communities have "live" posts where people watch a tv show or a sports event together. Especially with sports events the actual post text might be really long and requires a lot of scrolling to get past.
For instance a typical live sports thread: https://lemmy.world/post/1156203
I'm sorting by comments by "New" to easily follow the live chat. However to refresh, I need to scroll up about 10 pages on a mobile to get to the top of the post (all the scores and match details are being live updated by a bot in the post body). And then after a refresh I have to scroll all they way back down.
If there was somewhere to just press a refresh button when down in the comments or at the bottom of the post body. I think BaconReader used to have it in the top menu bar of the app. Just an option in the 3 dots menu
