NZ Post truck catches fire, hundreds of parcels destroyed in c/[email protected]

Oh no, won't someone think of all those critical Temu shipments! Anyway...

(Seriously, there must be a lot of irreplaceable stuff that goes through the post - this is actually a fairly big deal and I'm sure there will be people quite badly affected. Horrible to think about actually)

ELI5 (ok, maybe 10) Matrix chat (lemmy.nz)
 

Have downloaded the Beeper app which seems to nicely integrate a few of my favourite chat protocols. I noticed Matrix in the mix however.

I've heard, obliquely, of Matrix, but just assumed it's yet another messaging protocol. Would appear that's not the case though? Where would one get started? Why would I even want to use this vs the multitude of others? Is there an NZ Matrix server? Does it even matter? Why did the last season of GoT go so badly off the rails (oh wait, we know the answer to that one)...

TIA!

What a wall of sound. I've never heard guitars quite like this album before or since.

Debian KDE - login broken after trying to fix volume keys in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Thanks. I'll check out disabling the fingerprint reader and see if that makes a difference. Will do those investigations you've suggest too. But at this point it's looking like moving my user data and starting again on a new login.

Debian KDE - login broken after trying to fix volume keys (lemmy.nz)
 

(initially posted on /r/KDE but stoked to see there's a community here!)

I have a fairly new Debian KDE install - I've been tweaking and fixing things for the past week quite happily.

Was trying to fix the volume keys not working this evening. Logged into TTY2 and ran showkey --scancodes and showkey --keycodes per a forum post in an attempt to diagnose and fix. When I hit ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to my session, it was back at the login screen, as if I'd typed my password (ie dots entered for password and greyed out as if I'd then hit enter)

And there it stayed.

Reboot brings me to login, type password (fingerprint reader no longer registers) and there it hangs again.

I can log in just fine through the console (incidentally, the fingerprint reader works just fine there). startx will then happily run a gui from there with full access to my files. I've also created a new user via console and I can log in graphically just fine via that one too.

But my main user login remains stubbornly broken. Any ideas on what's happened?

Anyone know anything about underfloor heating manifolds? in c/[email protected]

I've tried. We're rural and tradies just don't want to know.

Yes, there's another pump back in the main line from the boiler.

With the bypass valve closed, the hot water doesn't seem to circulate at all - either down the bypass or through the loops.

And, the thermostat on the circulating pump there switches it off below whatever temp you set. Once switched off, then the top rail starts to heat (implying that got water is now going into the loops). So strange , I just can't get my head around how it's 'supposed' to work, let alone if it's actually working properly.

Trying to get my head around this system in our cafe. It's the relationship between the circulating pump and the ?bypass (above the red knob on the right) that is not making sense to me.

It just seems like the circulating pump is dragging the cold water around and around through the loops. It's doesn't look like other manifolds I've googled...

I sang semi-professionally for quite a few years. Used to use in-ear monitors and they do a similar thing - you do get used to it pretty quickly, or at least it becomes less annoying!

What are we watching? (lemmy.nz)
 

Having binged Fallout, 3 Body Problem and The Boys recently, I've moved onto Severance. It's a quirky, slow burn with an intriguing setup. 7/10 jaffas so far.

What are you watching?

Have an old NUC... (lemmy.nz)
 

So, I have an old 3rd or 4th gen Intel NUC that's I used to use to run Kodibuntu back in the day. I'm thinking of repurposing it into a low power home server to run the *arr suite, Jellyfin and nextcloud plus maybe some other bits. Nothing too taxing that I can see.

Obviously I need hard drive space to go with this. Is a USB enclosure, directly attached, going to be fast enough? Or do I need to go to a NAS of some kind? Alternatively, my router has a USB connection for a HDD - would that be better?

Christchurch - parking for Apollo Projects Stadium? (lemmy.nz)

Being the country kid I am, I've only just thought about parking for [edit] tonight's Foo Fighters concert in Christchurch. Of course, nothing available at the venue itself now. Yeah, only myself to blame there...

So, next best option for parking? I assume the nearby Tower Junction shopping centre are wise to people parking there and police the crap out of it?

Help me People of Christchurch, you're my only hope!

Adblock DNS + Stuff.co.nz (lemmy.nz)
 

I have my DNS on my phone set to dns.adguard-dns.com - seems to work fine for most websites, blocking ads where appropriate. Not so stuff.co.nz. Just seems to hang at their stupid 'scrolling S' loading screen. Any ideas?

A previously unexplored tomo, leading to a new cave system. West Coast, SI (lemmy.nz)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.nz/post/179521

Camera perspective is deceptive - my fellow caver here is still at least 20-30m from the bottom. The 60m rope we used only had about 5-6m left! Was an epic pitch, and we can't wait to get back in to survey the cave, and hopefully find more passage.
