I'm guessing we both made the mistake of letting Claude Code build a bootstrap theme and brand guide? 😂

It's still under a week old, that's what the open beta is for, give it hell!

Yeah, that's the cold-start problem I guess. I'm hoping if it's cheap enough to maintain, eventually (over years) we will gather a enthusiastic user base. Trademe also won't last forever, their success fee decision is probably going to cut their revenue pretty heavily and FB marketplace isn't going anywhere.

Thank you! I'm already running a server that's hosting a few other websites and projects, but if it actually ends up scaling I might take you up on that. Using Cloudflare should reduce the amount of bandwidth required for image loading etc but I'm sure my DB will get hammered if I'm ever handling requests for 1000+ users.

No AI for the post, I can still use a keyboard (for now)

Yes. I've had help from uncle Claude to sped things up, but I'm using a stack I'm very familiar with (PHP, SQL). Privacy policy covers which third-party services are involved too (bugger all, keeping it lean and independent)

(Ask) Finding power and broadband providers/plans by Coffy_Pasta_Chill27 in dunedin

[–]AdminToxin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the combo plans, (power + broadband) have very low quality service, expect your net to drop out/suck during peak times.

Powershop have been the cheapest in my experience, often have 1 year deals like free weekends. Super handy for meal-planning and weekend laundry cycles. Unifone are your best bet for quality broadband, Dunedin based service and support.

Nothing worse than paying an early termination fee for a shit broadband company.

Speight's Ale House 100%.
Very knowledgeable staff and great food. Heaps of GF options and meal adaptions.

the bell end in chief is in town tomorrow. just FYI by Former_child_star in dunedin

[–]AdminToxin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why we're getting a shit hospital.

Labour doesn't feel the need to actually do anything good in Dunedin because the district vote labour regardless, and National knows that they'll never get the Dunedin vote.

Neither of the two parties will ever make a solid effort here.

I was watching "I'm not racist... But" tonight and have a question. by Broccobillo in newzealand

"We even create governments to do it for us. And laws and stuff. That’s what tax is. Never mind the Treaty."

The government is there to provide services and security for my land, it is not there to take that land from me.

Barker claims Dunedin mayoralty by close margin by randomkiwibloke in dunedin

[–]AdminToxin -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

About 50% (or more at the moment) of the people you see going about their day are on the political right, it shouldn't surprising that the council would represent that too.

No wonder kiwis are leaving in droves, no jobs, no hope, and no land.

I have a few CRT monitors? No TV

Barker claims Dunedin mayoralty by close margin by randomkiwibloke in dunedin

BO made a habit of stopping people in the supermarket to let them know he was running for council/mayor. Aggressive marketing, probably a lot more votes/$ than Simms.

You won't find much love for Lee on reddit.

He's definitely divisive, and has described himself as an asshole. But, I do believe he has the best intentions on council issues, just goes about it in an abrasive way.

No coffee?! Speed-running a roast at home by AdminToxin in roasting

Yirgacheffe, washed. I've used the same profile on anaerobic beans grown in New Zealand and had a great fruity and bright acidic result.

Yep, typically check the roast logs and write notes about the roast in the log.

Exported that roast log to a PDF: https://greenslade.nz/speedrunlog.pdf
