I don't mind the odd post like this, but if it were to become a lot of what is posted I don't really think it is that appropriate for our c/NZ - maybe if we had a separate community for random off-topic stuff it would be okay, but then, why not post it in lemmy.ml or wherever else is more relevant for this type of stuff.

Just my 2c.

+1 for Voyager, I'm with them also - have used them for the last 3 years and I don't think I've ever experienced an outage, speeds have consistently been great.

Fairly local peering too, so for my offsite-backup at a friends house in Dunedin where I also am based, the traffic only has to go via chch, rather than Auckland with some providers. Though I think some places like 2Degrees may have Dunedin peering. Not a problem for me anyway!

Static IP being one-off fee as it should be is a big tick. They also didn't raise my price for some reason when they recently did update pricing and I have a friends and family discount even though I don't think I'm friends or family :)

Was watching the game at the stadium tonight and what a game! Such an incredible atmosphere - just a shame that the Ferns get eliminated as a result of the game.

Well played by both sides considering no goals at all!

Depending on how dirty it is, I would assume at the very least cleaning the car removes things that can harm the paint (and result in corrosion later down the track) like bird poop, road grime and brake dust to name a few things.

Even just washing very infrequently, maybe a couple times a year could probably save the paint on your car and prevent premature corrosion of a vehicle!

Plus some people just like their car to be shiny I guess!

Good shout on Memmy - just signed up for the Test Flight.

So far I like it better than Mlem since it actually truncates posts to a normal size to easily scroll through!

Love the photos and of course the use of Pixelfed! Federation FTW!

+1 for Mlem - seems to have a nice feel for Reddit-esque 3PA.

Can't wait to see how the app evolves (and awesome it's open source!)

Yeah I’ve been getting some snow flurries at home! Sitting by the fire keeping warm because it is definitely chilly out!

Would love to see them. Hope you keep them coming :)

Just want to add a +1 for Leo!

I just bought (but haven’t received just yet) a Piantor from BeeKeeb and Leo upgraded me to the V2 with USB-C for free! He just checked in with me to make sure I was happy with that change.

So thanks Leo, and I look forward to using my Piantor with USB-C as well :)

I would have said the Mid-Winter Carnival, but that's this weekend unfortunately, so I guess you'll miss that!

I don't keep up with much happening around town.. but in winter there's a lot more just staying warm inside than outside stuff going on I'm sure!

Yeah definitely the risky search of the day if you do!

Pleased to be helping out!

I’ll be building out the sidebar to make things look a bit nicer here :)

I would rate it 8/10 for ease of install, especially with the docker setup it is pretty easy.

Only slightly annoying setup task was getting the matrix bridges setup as you need to mess with some config and I had some issues getting it to work initially.

But once it was all setup, pretty solid for me ever since!

You can use whatever port if you’re proxying it to 8448 (assuming the container host is listening on that port which it would be by default).

If you use matrix.example.com and proxy port 443 to 8448 then it should work as your user would be @user:matrix.example.com.

You would need to portforward from outside your network if you want to access it and have it talk to other servers as they all need to communicate with your server.

Personally I wanted matrix to show my user as @user:example.com at my actual domain not as a matrix subdomain, so I had to setup the .well-known/server type http path to tell it my server is actually at matrix.example.com.

If people don't know who Shadman is, this comment isn't that great.

But for those who do, it's gold - well played :D

We most certainly do!

That's one hell of a photo, did you take it yourself?

That's a good take on it actually!

If you consider how many people are using the Matrix network, then Lemmy instances will probably end up fine. Just gotta convert lurkers to active participants (like me, I mostly lurked on reddit, but have been a bit more active on my home instance)

Thanks, it's up there now with credit in the sidebar :)

I had to crop it ever so slightly to get Aoraki in the frame, hope that is okay!
