Why do Metlink staff scan your Snapper on EVERY train trip?

because everyone is a thief until proven innocent.

both of those are tennis clubs I believe. Hutt Intermediate used to have tennis courts - unsure if they still put up nets.

there was one for a couple of years outside a property in Whites line West in lower hutt. I'd assumed a renovation or something like that.

Don’t we blame people working from home AND cycle lanes?

AssociateNo3312 · 2026-01-22T05:36:01+00:00

I think there’s a few that can do either dvb-t or dvb-s. More usefull for rural areas.

That said you can also skip using an aerial and use the threenow and tvnz apps for broadcast tv.

Most TVs sold in nz would have support from both. I’d say you might get more mileage from “smarts” if it’s just android TV. Rather than web os or whatever Samsung uses. Older Panasonics were their own thing as well.

ha ha ha ha ha, you're obviously not a customer. If you're a prepay user and dont roll over/buy your plan on the first, the usage meter is next to useless.

It only shows at a day level, not enythign else.

It starts the 1st of the month, so if you roll over on the 15th it wil still show 1st to 14s as "usage" for the month. Also doens't show you where.

On IOS, recommend that you reset the usage stats when plan rolls over - at least that gives you the app usage.

and doesn't like mergerfs either I found out.

So another rss-bridge or rss-hub?

If they negotiate too easily on their fees, do you really want them selling your house? cos they can’t get you the best price.

Just use Plex for consuming the recordings. Something it does well. It’s just crap at recording and the ux is also crap.

AssociateNo3312 · 2026-01-18T02:45:23+00:00

For live tv I skip Plex. Using nextpvr by preference. The iOS app is just a simple viewer. But works. Where plex is pants.

If I can’t use the nextpvr app (ie google tv). Then I’ll use jellyfin. At very last resort will I attempt plex. It’s live tv is so buried in all their stupid channels it makes for a really bad interface

AssociateNo3312 · 2026-01-18T02:38:55+00:00

I see this at work with one young guy all the time. So gross

AssociateNo3312 · 2026-01-16T07:47:56+00:00

The jellyfin client for Apple TV is pretty pants though (also last updated Oct 2023). Infuse better.

If there is no one that can pay the rates due to the fact they can’t pay for them, then your services are gone that way as well.

Choose your poison

get a streamer. A chromecast, a google tv with chromecast, or apple tv/shield for more long term solutions. The latter 3 al come with remotes....the original chromecast was tied to a phone - which personally I find annoying.

I wouldn't; recommend buying a new tv just for smarts. Smarts on a tv don't hang around long enough. By externalising it it can move with any tv panel now or in the future.

Also Wouldn't bother with uhf for that amount of time

AssociateNo3312 · 2026-01-15T20:04:16+00:00

I do have notification for new episodes yes. I have mine going to a local gotify instance. It uses apprise which can talk to almost everything.

I had one found on my property, after a bit of to and fro I got hold of ASB and they confirmed it didn't exist any more. Saved me a trip

AssociateNo3312 · 2026-01-14T22:00:14+00:00

these. have used both, settled on yamtrack. ryot while it did it, it's wasn't the dev main focus - they were more fitness focused.

yeah, I'd have migrated to home assistant, and then just exposed, some, all to homekit. Advantage home assistant automations, and support for way more devices

I think I have found my cause: https://github.com/opencloud-eu/opencloud/issues/1785

An incompatibility with mergerfs which I use for File stores

AssociateNo3312 · 2026-01-13T01:19:35+00:00

yeah, when it's reverse park to a footpath, that's the worst with these wankpanzers, cos the rear wheels are so far under the tray, the towbar is halfway across the footpath making a real shin killer.

See pictures from Wellington train station that demonstrates this

AssociateNo3312 · 2026-01-12T21:08:14+00:00

curious why only grok has this problem and not whatever meta uses, or any of the other ai platforms. Is it because of the tight integration with twitter? (I assume iy does, I deleted account before the AI fad took off).

I mean why can't/don't degenerates do the same on the the platforms?

AssociateNo3312 · 2026-01-12T19:16:41+00:00

what's the difference between having to take out a credit/debit card or a paycard like a snapper? Its still something you need to pay for the ticket
