Thanks @dave, yes indeed - pretty unique GlowWorm adventures out of Charleston on the West Coast. Drop us a line :)

And yes, have been quite absent of late! Still lurking every now and then but spare time is a distant memory lol

Any recommendations for NZ-made clothing? in c/newzealand@lemmy.nz

Roads from the same concert is just heart rendingly good

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.

Yes, I'd considered that too. Alas, not the case

Debian KDE - login broken after trying to fix volume keys in c/kde@lemmy.kde.social

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?

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?

Doesn't get much better than this. Heart-rending, in the best possible way

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?

Climate Change in c/movies@lemmy.world
[–] Axisential@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago

A quick google shows that a significant proportion of the arguments presented in this 'movie' have already been thoroughly debunked. For example, https://skepticalscience.com/climate-the-movie-a-hot-mess-of-cold-myths.html has a nice summary.

The Other Players Who Helped (Almost) Make the World’s Biggest Backdoor Hack in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Axisential@lemmy.nz 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Fascinating read - interesting that the origin of the hack is not yet known (or at least, released). I wonder what the stats are on these sorts of exploits in OSS - the concept relies so much on trust and individuals.

Thanks for that - wasn't aware of this and looks good

Looks like it's back to the high seas for us...

What's that classic love instrumental? in c/music@beehaw.org

Ravel's orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition is sublime.

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?
