Kia ora Dave

Do we have you to thank for this Lemmy instance?

I have heard of seerr. I need to move over to it.

That sounds awesome. I looked at doing that. I also have a kobo and use calibre. Tbh I wasn't totally sure how to connect calibre web and didnt want to wreck anything so I left it alone but the idea of wireless syncing is really attractive.

I just run a wee truenas and I know enough to get by but that's about it haha

I do wonder about what point we can say it has.

I used to be ACAB all day. I've got it tattooed on my arm (we're all young once). I loathed the cops more than anything. But then I starred to notice a shift. The NZ police have made a genuine effort to change over the last 10-15 years. I know Andrew Coster messed up badly recently but I think he did good as commissioner.

Yeah there are still pigs, but there shit people in every bunch, can't help that.

There's recent corruption stuff too but they are actively working on that and they prosecute their own when they mess up badly.

I'd much rather a dog was pepoer sprayed than shot dead like they do in the states. We don't know how lucky we are to not have a police force like USA. Obviously they aren't perfect, far from it, but I believe they are good and want to help.

Doing ok. Decided last night to cook more so I can lose weight. Been eating too much take out.

Did afew fixes on my server

Probably will buy a pair of shoes this weekend.

All pretty boring stuff really. Life is slower these days, I don't drink anymore but also don't have crippling lows like I used to. I have a family of my own now who I adore. Life is good

How are you guys?

Leave her be. Regardless of anyone's political views you can't say she wasn't hard working. She deserves a rest

Thanks so much for the detailed reply. I will look into that right now.

 

Kia ora chaps

I've been buying $10 Kmart sliders and they last around 4 months. Id like to buy some proper good jandals with good foot support.

Are there any brands you recommend?

Not suprised but certainly disappointed NZ is essentially aggreeing to hand personal information to ICE willingly.

Personal security and digital sovereignty is more important now than ever.

I'm not into this eh

Thank you for having me 😊

Kia ora!

I stopped drinking afew years ago as it got me into too much trouble but I'm sure if you come back and try it again it will taste as good as you remember it.

Unfortunately our political situation is much less desirable than it was previously. We just gotta grin and bare it.

Come back and do the track. Hope to see you here some time. It's a beautiful country

I have been on a journey of getting away from big tech these last few years. I've started self hosting and become increasingly critical of a centralized internet are large digital monopolies.

That being said, there's parts of social media I really enjoy. I've always favoured reddit over facebook and insta but I don't like that way reddit is going. So I've deleted my account and signed up to Lemmy.

I'm so thrilled there is a kiwi sublemmy.

Really pleased to be here. I hope this community grows

Have a lovely weekend folks
