Glad they are finally doing it and this should hopefully get much needed funding for our healthcare system. Whats shocking to me is that even with all the controversial bits taken out its still unpopular. I swear nz has the most hardheaded people out there.

RNZ-Reid Research poll last month found 43 percent in support of a CGT on investment properties

What is left for people to whine about?

Another noob question: see the attached image of my thermostat. Would it be possible to switch it for a smart one? What would I have to check? If it is possible, what would you recommend? If is don't want any 3rd party app or account?

I run a Nextcloud instance on my home server and want secure remote access without exposing ports. I came across Twingate, which looks like a VPN alternative.

Has anyone used it for personal setups? Is it overkill compared to something simpler like Tailscale? I’d like to know how you use it, or what else you use.

I'm just confused on why they are forcing me to rent a car at their expense, instead of using my own car. this is the first year they said they are getting me a car.

what could be reasons why they would opt for rental instead of km/milage reimbursement?

I don't wanna drive no automatic lol

I’m a long time user of Joplin but now looking for a newer solution. I was looking at Trilum notes for the tight OIDC integration with Authelia. Has anyone here tried Trilium notes? What are your opinions on it?

Microsoft has started testing a new feature that prompts Windows 11 users to run a memory scan when logging in after a blue screen of death (BSOD).

Research shows 4K or 8K screens offer no distinguishable benefit over similarly sized 2K screen in average living room

Frustrated Windows 10 users are jumping ship to macOS.

The T-100 chasing me is a trans antifa super soldier who dresses like a splatter punk and wants me dead.

I'm looking for a minimalistic layout to control and see the status of blinds in the overview dashboard.

I am currently using the entity card and it works but the downside is that it doesn't show the current blind status. I could add a blind status entity but then the card becomes a lot taller. I wanted to see if anyone has any good layouts for their blinds that doesn't take up too much space and allows them to easily control and see their status (ie. open %).

Pretty much what I want is something that is like what is shown below but with like a 2nd line that shows what the current open % is.

Its apparently what jesus would want

However, UNIFIL personnel said they’d engaged the drone with “necessary defence measures” near the town of Kfar Kila. After bringing down the first drone, another drone reportedly […]

Sorry if I'm mistaken on this, but I'm still new to self-hosting.

Currently I use SyncThing and I love it. My files are accessible to me wherever I am in the world, and it costs me nothing.

I'd like to move more of my life to self-hosted servers. I'm looking at leaving Spotify for Funkwhale. But if I'm reading the materials correctly, I'll need to set up a domain and pay some upfront costs to make my library accessible outside my home.

Why is that? Is there a way to make my costs 0, the way they are with SyncThing?
