This wasn't a crime before?

May as well participate since we are lucky enough to have a voice in this country

I'm not saying anyone should, just that they would have ample legal funding if they did...

Still haven't seen any prosecution for when they blocked the motorway either.

Somewhat related!

TL;DR

An Australian pharmacy will continue to send lower-cost diabetes equipment across the Tasman, despite a cease and desist from a medical manufacturer.

...

“This is $130 that my whānau, and many other whānau, could have in their pocket each month,” she told them.

...

manufacturer Medtronic had sent David Jones Pharmacy a letter threatening legal action if the company continued to supply Kiwi customers with the sensors.

...

The pharmacy was “not a legally authorised distributor of Medtronic diabetes products in New Zealand”

...

“We have chosen to ignore [the letter] as it was built upon unsubstantiated accusations,” Le said.

...

“It creates a massive inequity for families who don’t have the financial means to pay a weekly amount, and it’s also a contributing risk to longer term health outcomes.

“It's really expensive to keep them alive. By not funding [sensors] you are risking the lives of kids who don't have that layer of privilege.”

I fucking hate this bullshi

Obviously, I am not in this situation. Related article, wondering what is happening to this woman's house/loans/expenses/rent/car payments/etc

So before conviction, when you're being held pending court proceedings, it would be inconvenient to attend your work place during that time. So I'm wondering, what happens?

If you're found not guilty after months of court hearings, are you just fucked over completely because the bank foreclosed on your house?

This makes no freakin sense to me, and it's driving me bonkers. Censored for work purposes obv.

What?? Ping, You JUST RESOLVED site.com, why can't you resolve it now??

Why does the addition of the protocol break DNS resolution?

It's CentOS 6.10, quite old..

/etc/nsswitch has:

hosts: files dns

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Might be late to the party, but I just discovered you can do this. Super simple and easy to do.

After having a read of the linked page, I backed up and just used this option:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Profile-sync-daemon

Installed, created config, and enabled service:

systemctl --user enable psd.service systemctl --user enable psd-resync.service

I definitely notice an increase in speed and less SSD usage should hopefully increase lifespan.

I'm sure there would be options for alternative distros, anything using Systemd should be able to use the daemon.

Had someone contact me because a browser interface was 'down' and it was actually a cert issue. It surprised me that in an IT context, this person didn't have a basic understanding of SSL certs. They didn't even know how to add a cert exception.

It got me thinking, what basic ubiquitous things am I a dumbass about outside of IT?

Ive seen lots of 'fun facts' compilations, but it would be better to get a wide range of subject suggestions that I can spend 30 minutes each or less on, and become a more capable human.

Like what subjects would plumbers consider basic knowledge? Chemical interactions between cleaning products and PVC pipes?

What would an accountant or a landscaper consider to be so basic its shocking people can live their lives without knowing any of it?

For most areas of expertise, its difficult to know even what the basics are to start with.

After a sober new years because I was on call, I decided to keep it going.

Here's what I'm doing that is helping me so far:

• No caffeine. It puts me on a rise/crash cycle where I end up going for the beer just to get through the evening.
• No alcohol lying around; environment is stronger than willpower.
• Keeping busy until the liquor stores close
• Eating properly and regularly, so I never reach a state of low energy and low willpower. Because you know a beer will fix that real quick and then you're back in the cycle.

Also really helps after ADHD diagnosis and having medication to kill the uneasy itchiness that I was using alcohol for.

Any explanation on how this happens?

Just as a matter of curiosity

....What the fuck?

I have a file with content like this:

 undefined

    
item({
     ["attr"] = {
        ["size"] = "62091";
        ["filename"] = "qBuUP9-OTfuzibt6PQX4-g.jpg";
        ["stamp"] = "2023-12-05T19:31:37Z";
        ["xmlns"] = "urn:xmpp:http:upload:0";
        ["content-type"] = "image/jpeg";
     };
     ["key"] = "Wa4AJWFldqRZjBozponbSLRZ";
     ["with"] = "email@address";
     ["when"] = 1701804697;
     ["name"] = "request";
});

  

I need to know what format this is, and if there exists a tool in linux already to parse this or if I need to write one myself?

Thanks!

A recent article: https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/money/301022706/prepare-to-find-another-70-a-week-to-get-by-in-2024-asb

says: ..if households decided the worst was over and started to feel more confident about spending, it could push up inflation

But I thought it was the opposite;

More spending means more demand means more supply, which means production costs go down (due to economies of scale)… so inflation goes down?

But saving means less spending, means less demand, means less income for business, means costs go up.. so inflation would rise?

Alright guys, here's my game plan.

Start drinking.

Really, build that daily habit until you're spending at least $70 per week on alcohol.

Then just stop drinking next year.

Problem solved!

I'm so keen for this one. I would use it all the time.

I have to ride out to Howick for a nice seaside ride:

I realised this feeling is why I have such an issue avoiding caffeine, even more after starting on ritalin.

It's that, "I'm really starting to feel awake and capable now" feeling, sometimes a light tenseness in the back of the neck.

What is going on here, neuronically?

Also a time when I really crave nicotine. I'm trying to quit the nicotine so if I can understand this feeling, I can make a strategy to avoid it.
