Aotearoa Daily Kōrero 2/7/2023
Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
It doesn’t have to be me making the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So how’s it going?
Morena. Heat pump is going and I'm on my second coffee. Hope everyone is keeping warm this morning, I don't think we quite had a frost but that was probably to do with the wind than anything else.
Warmed up enough in Ōtautahi to open the doors and windows for a bit when doing some morning cleaning. A bit of a breeze made it too chilly though. Supposed to get cold again soon after the sun goes down, so we will be running the heat pumps too I assume.
Water change on the turtles, a walk in the sun, housework, lunch in the cbd.
The transition to Lemmy has been good, I haven't been this engaged for a looong time. Reddit got too much.
There are comments all over the 'verse echoing the same sentiments. I saw a thread this morning asking for karma to be displayed and the feedback was a resounding NOOO, which I'm taking as a good sign.
I went to bed at a reasonable time last night because I couldn't do my usual scrolling of niche subreddits while lying in bed.. The sync dev is making an app for lemmy, but I'm starting to think I should just leave it off my phone
Man I really hate my XPS13. Had it for a few years now, and Sleep & Hibernation are always so hit and miss. THey will wake themselves up and then crash more often than not.
Tried a few things and nothings fixed it.
I'm not looking forward to replacing my laptop, going to have to learn everything to make a somewhat informed decision.
Thankfully replacing the battery has extended it's life somewhat, just over 5 years old at the moment.
Ugh the comparison shopping is the worst. I know some people love it, but I just get frustrated after a bit.
You may have noticed but I've updated Lemmy.nz to the most recent Lemmy version (release candidate as official release isn't out yet).
Some people are having issues with logging in/out. Clear site cookies and cache and then it should work.
Stoned and playing in the shed today making a replica eames lounge chair phone holder out of steam bent laminated victorian ash wood veneer and eva foam.
Getting a bit more snow in Dunedin than I was expecting, nice big fluffy snowflakes in this flurry right now.
I would like my sinuses too get over whatever their problem is already.
I have bad sinuses in general. If it's a day I can breathe properly, it's a good day.
I carry one of those little Vick's inhalers with me everywhere I go. It's often the only thing that will get me breathing again.
SO has been complaining about his (admittedly terrible) old laptop dying so I'm installing linux mint over the old Windows 10. He's not a tech-minded person so I'm keen to see what he thinks of it.
I'd be keen to hear the outcome. I have a sunsetted Chromebook and am keen to try Linux on it.
I'm still running updates and installing a couple of extra drivers but it's definitely much snappier than what he had before. And his Logitech trackball now has a battery meter in the system tray, which it didn't on windows, so it's possible he'll end up preferring linux.
Joined a Meetup group for a hike this morning, for the first time. Was great to meet new people!
Relaxed afternoon playing xbox and board games with the kids.
Posting from the Liftoff app. So far seamless.
Good weekend so far. Got up and did some house cleaning, even got to open up the doors and windows for a bit before the wind made it a bit too cold. Got a good friend group coming over like we do every Sunday afternoon, just a chill day at home. No school for the kids this week, so routine will be a bit off.
Currently in Japan sick in my hotel room. The vomiting and diarrhea seems to have subsided and I can actually keep food down now. I'm just resting and eating little bits hoping to get better by tonight so I can go out.
Glad hear you're starting to recover!
Man my partner got severe food poisoning when we were in Japan at the start of the year.
We only spent a week in Japan, and she was out of action for a good 4 days of it :(
Hope you get better quickly. Drink lots of fluids.
