No idea, but it gives me this energy:
I once met a person that never drank water, only soft drinks. It’s not the unhealthiness of this that disturbed me, but the fact they did it without the requisite paperwork.
Unlike those disorganised people I have a formal waiver. I primarily drink steam and crushed glaciers.
No idea, but it gives me this energy:
Replacing a TCP socket with a UNIX socket doesn’t affect the amount of headers you have to parse.
We rented our technology and could not read nor write.
Moose bumped me up to $14.80/month recently, prior to that it was about half the cost.
I’m lucky to use 1GB/month so this looks perfect, thankyou.
It looks like Catch support is useless though, lets hope nothing breaks during the port. https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2706810 <- also has some info about how to disable voicemail.
Cheapest VPS I’m using in Aus so far is BinaryLane. $4.13/mon ($50/year). Seems OK, has dedicated IPV4 (yes you can get VPS behind CGnat4 + IPV6), IPV6 works after a bit of finangling. No backups. I only put it under low stress though.
Robtec does OK shared hosting (notably they offer an alternative to Cpanel) and was happy to permanently whitelist my home IP for SSH access. Quantumcore used to do this on request too but now it’s only temporary, I have to keep contacting them every 6 months or so.
then delete everything and then upload on the old host
It’s really annoying that good file transfer protocols (like rsync) also tend to require ssh access :| I wish shared hosts were a little less garbage sometimes, but I guess they have to deal with too many abusive customers for that to be cheap.
Neocities isn’t Australian but looks kind of cool. Apparently a “neocities supporter” can use rsync, here is a person doing it specifically with Hugo.
static site generators
Do you need SSH access to generate the site files on the server? Or just a method of uploading your site files after generating them locally?
Cheap shared hosts are a pain with SSH access, most will do it with a support ticket but often time limited or through an IP whitelist. A cheap VPS is really the only reliable option here.
EDIT: Woops thought parent said shared hosting, not VPS. I meant for Quantum’s shared hosting.
Quantum gave up on email reputation a year or so back, so make sure you’re not also wanting outgoing email for anything (alerts, logs).
Sorry to hear you’re feeling crap.
I’m having trouble looking for work for the past few months. Very few replies, the first “no” I got actually made me feel a bit more human.
I’m convinced that some of the jobs I’ve applied for or enquired about are not real or just for external-advertising-before-hire requirements. I’ve gotten some rude responses after daring to ask questions (eg: jobs funded by research money tend to have fixed funding start dates that might not be for another several months). Most straight up ignore me.
An old boss of mine thinks that my CV isn’t conforming and mundane enough, so I’m giving his suggestions a go.
What sort of work are you looking at? I design electronics and get into arguments with computers.
No no no, that just reflects the nature of the difficult market of problems that Oracle is trying to solve. Just because they choose to solve difficult problems for people shouldn’t mean they get punished. 🪂
This council also got suckered in by Oracle. Nothing deserves such a fate.
Do not EVER engage Oracle with a business deal. They are the epitome of “it will cost a lot more than you budget for”, that’s their speciality. You can try and blame customisation scope or wrong support people, but even if you got those right they’d find some other way of milking you.
if you google for “halogen lamp starter” you’ll find those
Fluorescent starter, not halogen. Halogens don’t have a starter so there is a chance you might get misdirected to halogen transformers.
(Unless you’re talking big arc bulbs with halogens in them, they’re fun)
Windows update fetches all sorts of things now. If the hardware advertises X device then Windows update will check if it has anything for it. Approved vendors can provide all sorts of guff. Historically that has included drivers that intentionally brick your devices. HP probably packaged up some software that updates the BIOS and got it into the Windows Update DBs.
This is something HP should have handled.
If a bad update is rolled out then it’s the responsibility of the software maker partner (HP) and the distributor (Microsoft), not just one or the other.
Those laptops are THEIR products, not Microsoft’s.
Both Microsoft and HP have branding on their laptops and a responsibility post-sale for the reliability of their systems. Hardware, firmware and OS responsibilities are all party to this chain of failure.
I have some uploaded image problems.
(1) The Lost Powers of Childhood is missing an inline image upload on the first comment (“Bonus: in this…”). According to the message source the image should be at https://aussie.zone/pictrs/image/ecc05d82-7a5e-48a4-a304-446aba2078db.jpeg. I think this might have occurred before the upgrade, I recall having to look for it a week ago, but I’m not sure.
(2) The new Profile -> Uploads page has lots of odd gaps:
It’s not showing some images I’ve uploaded, eg this MSY catalog screenshot isn’t listed there.
EDIT: (3) Front page isn’t showing thumbnails for posts made after the transition date either:
Home made biccies > timtams anyday
This is an inexcusable breach of the SLA. Lodion must be offered free Timtams by all of us as recompense.
Two friends couldn’t come to bushcare today due to flu and COVID. I think about a third of the people I know are affected.
I just spent the last week sick with what I thought was COVID (my brother & niece got it a few days prior), but I’ve been negative on all the RATs I’ve done. Could be the flu instead, not sure.
Lots of cold sweating, fever shakes and discomfort. Not as severe as my previous interactions with COVID.

Thankyou, didn’t have a clue.
