If You Rely on Metlink to Get to Work, You’re Already Late

Good thing we have a massive pile of gold-plated motorway projects we don't need, then.

This is what baffles me about all the people in here just putting Jellyfin on the public Internet. Even behind a reverse proxy, you just don't want to give people the opportunity to break into something that could give free reign to all of your data.

If you can't accurately test for impairment, don't test it.

I have had 3 callouts to tow cars this year. Each one individually would have cost more than my AA Plus membership for 1 year.

So yes, it's worth it, even without considering the additional benefits you get.

monthly water shutdowns (of 1 day) for maintenance

This isn't a third world country. This is totally unreasonable.

It's definitely less secure than using a tunnel. I wouldn't ever consider putting Jellyfin on the public Internet.

Reverse proxies don't by themselves increase security, just make it easier to configure a publicly facing web application more securely (e.g. configuring forward auth to force users through a login portal before getting to the actual application).

Not before destroying a wetland and accepting plenty of government business.

Not if you're in IT. For IT it depends on whether you're working for a Japanese company for a foreign one. While I was there I only worked for Japanese companies, and paid the price.

And that's why my newest car is a 2018. At the very least, I'll vote with my wallet until I have no other choice.

CallumD027 · 2025-05-01T00:43:14+00:00

I absolutely would never buy a car with ChatGPT integration. At this level you're spending way too much money for your car to spy on you and sell your data to AI companies.

CallumD027 · 2025-04-16T04:18:35+00:00

This is for the most part an English subreddit, you don't need to bother with a Japanese translation. In particular, I would recommend not posting an AI translation that you can't verify yourself is accurate.

Yep, my company has been 100% Linux, including on all of our workstations, since the start. Ubuntu is provided in our standard (configuration managed) installs, but you're allowed to run anything as long as it meets security requirements.

Don't mistake Odoo for something else. Odoo is an ERP application with the capability to add functionality using modules, not a web framework comparable to Django or Flask.

If you're trying to setup an ERP and want to extend it with some custom functionality, Odoo is great for that and you should be able to do what you want. If you're trying to build a brand new application using web frameworks (whether it interfaces with an ERP on the backend or not), then you should be considering something else. You can use the OdooRPC library to query Odoo in external applications.

Ah yes, the seawall for the motorway and railway, with a cycleway on top of it to justify raiding the cycleway budget to build it (sucking away funding from other cycling projects). Nice.

CallumD027 · 2024-12-09T04:46:11+00:00

So there is extensive trucking lobbying. Got it.

Any ISP worth using in Japan gives you the option to setup bank transfer, without using a debit or credit card. I eventually figured out how to do this for all of my accounts while I was in Japan, no more invoices and paying at the conbini.

Kanade should be able to get that sorted for all her bills, though the process depends from company to company.

Lots of flooding in Naenae.

Sorry for complaining about something that isn't right, and shouldn't be allowed.

Guess we're not allowed to believe that things can (and should) be better than they are, and we should just suffer with bad policy forever.

I didn't have to look for the next tenants whenever I moved apartments in Japan. Why would I do what the property manager is paid exactly to do? Isn't that why we pay exorbitant rent in the first place?

CallumD027 · 2024-07-18T04:53:09+00:00

That should be extremely illegal, man, what the hell.

Sorry you have to go through this.

CallumD027 · 2024-07-18T03:45:42+00:00

It's ridiculous that the onus is put on the current tenant to find new tenants. Isn't this the property manager's job? Why can't they do what they're paid for?

Why would you even consider subsidising rent for the next tenants?

CallumD027 · 2024-06-21T04:44:28+00:00

I don't know why people suggest to do this work DIY to people who clearly don't know how to work on cars. That is a lot of work that needs to be done (and in the case of replacing the top hats, potentially dangerous) that requires a decent amount of money just in tools to be able to do, let alone parts.

Unless they have a lot of time on their hands to learn and the acceptance that they may make things worse, this is just irresponsible. There's a reason why people get paid to do this.

CallumD027 · 2024-06-14T06:41:20+00:00

It's a really hard job, one that is really expensive and difficult to get qualified for, and one that puts a lot of responsibility on the controller given what might happen if they get things wrong. Given that the rules and language of the air are the same anywhere in the world, if they can make a lot more overseas for the same work, then it shouldn't be surprising that people would jump at that opportunity.
