And the one who suddenly is concerned about ethics in regards to strikes . These Machiavellian creeps go from bad to worse with each day.

He also did a great tribute video to Tim Smith / Cardiacs. Was already in my good books, went beyond with that one.

Pathetic little puppet state . Human life comes second to a few bucks for this embarrassment of a government.

There’s alot of actual news, and this story is non news beyond what occurred on the day. I switched off from NZ media completely due to the constant asinine repetition of what presumably they think I need to be hyperventilating about as well.

Wheres the melodrama in this post ? I’m detecting enthusiasm maybe, but not melodrama. They’re looking for peoples thoughts and experience, i.e what your own terms are for making these choices. Seems reasonable. Sharing that is optional of course and I also choose not to, end of story.

Presumably IRL they live in a fairly secular, non theocratic society, so perhaps its their chance to start a virtual cult. Strange that they’re non specific about this higher being. Guess I could bring one of my equally fictitious higher beings on one of their fictitious raids.

Yeh and the blurb for splotifry reads like an ad, with not a negative word to say about this exploitative monster.

Thanks for the headsup. This is the final push I needed. Been running Jellyfin for 6months or so but need to put more time into it. Plex has been great, and I’ve also been paying (though felt a little conflicted) a sub which I’m willing to do if it keeps a worthwhile project on an honest trajectory aligning with my needs and restrictions, for a good service or product. However they’re now doing exactly why I started on the self hosting path. Who’s to say the third party is jot going to be a heavy handed industry body, corrupt authority , let alone the problematic world of adsales? They’re walking a very strange line and seem very confused about their purpose. Other than the all ruining ‘growth’. Seeya plex.

Shane Jones is less useful and more damaging than a cloud of noxious gas. A pseudo pompous diluted boris johnson . It is very disappointing that anyone would be impressed with the hot wind emanating from his flatulent person, enough to vote him into parliament. That he behaves proudly this way at the behest of the backward ecology ending fossil fuel industry, adds insult to the injury.

raindrop.io works well for me for most of what you’ve mentioned, but its not selfhosted so I’m interested to find out other options also.

Was never a fan fan, but as you say they were always there. I saw them many times and often unintentionally at various festivals. They always gave 120% of themselves when performing . Bloody hard workers. I was lucky to see their final final show day after homegrown. 2 albums played back to back and another whole set . 3.5 hours. That is not easy to do and they gave everything never waning, and showed appreciation to their hometown. It was an appropriately epic and very emotional night. It only took 30 or so years to win me over but I’m now a fan.

No apology needed. Only ever taken the thing 4 times in my life so some user perspective appreciated.

Humblest apologies . Allow me to explain. The post has no context or clarifying info. I’m guessing its a celeb and therefore him holding an nz brand of chocolate is the relevance here? A movie or tv star filming in NZ I guess? But there may be some hilarious subtext I’m missing out on. Yes I could do a reverse image search or search the name in the image, but I’m extremely allergic to the internet - which could also be why I don’t know who this person is. You are correct however, I dont care either way. I guess I was more curious why it was posted, and you are quite right to react to my flippancy in that way. Feel free to disregard my previous comment, and this one also.

Cant be arsed researching. Who is this?

Haha yep. A queue dodger. “I’ll just take this shortcut. Later foolssss……”

Not to apologise for this driver as he did get out and move them, but it’s also interesting that its only road cones preventing a car driving off this 2nd level ramp. Yeh it should be all thats required, but you know….people.

Fair enough . Poor choice of petty insult on my part. I’ll stick to calling him a Nationalist since he calls himself that. And a rascist, which he is exposing himself as openly. A dangerous combination in politics, and yes, hateful. We are in agreement on all of that.

Yikes I forgot some think of Nationalism as a good thing…

I know the Greens have a host of colourful and strange members, but if you want to take on New Zealand’s Nationalist party… return fire will happened

I guess NZ Fist being Nationalist is non controversial but I still find it a disturbing statement when spewed out so brazenly like that. What a complete circus buffoon.

Very good question.

Non American , and non brit here. Why is this waste of energy so interested in the UK and Europe now ? I know there will be plenty of cynical takes which I will probably endorse however I’m interested in what his actual motivation might be. Does he just want parties in power in the given country that he has influence over for the sake of legislative advantage for his businesses? Or is it trollconomics for sake of driving signups to his failing social network I forget the name of?
