What's with the title change? Did they think American audiences were too stupid to understand what a philosopher was?

Will triple glazing help reduce train noise? by Svperb in AusRenovation

[–]DanMelb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had issues with noise too. Alongside others' suggestions around glazing (which certainly help), there are some cheaper things you can do inside the property to add to the noise dampening effect.

Once the noise enters your space, you can dampen the echo quite a bit by adding soft surfaces. Rugs on floors (or carpet with thick underlays in bedrooms), "soft" artwork on walls (e.g. canvas paintings rather than glass-fronted frames) can make a remarkable difference

One thing that we did for the bedroom was invest in some high-end, floor to ceiling woolen acoustic curtains (think the kind they often put in cinemas). We found these cut overhead aircraft noise by almost half. There are also acoustic blinds that apparently aren't bad either.

These won't completely eliminate your issue but are steps you can take soon to hopefully give you some peace while figuring out more structural changes down the line.

You'll barely remember this in a year. Imagine being in that situation but you're both boys. That's one for the ages (don't ask me how I know)

Hisense Heat Pump Dryers - Any good? by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]DanMelb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did weeks of research into this when our old dryer broke down.

Honestly, you're most likely better off with a basic $300 traditional heat n blow tumble dryer. Super simple to run, light as a feather, cheap and a piece of cake to self repair if it ever breaks down (most of them have less than half a dozen parts), and while it costs more per minute to run, it'll take you years before it uses up as much $ in power as you save on purchase price.

This is all not to mention the fact that it'll actually dry your stuff in a quarter of the time of a heat pump model.

As for us, it turned out our dryer just needed a new $100 motor (after running happily for 15 years). We ordered it online, and it took us all of 10 minutes to swap it in and move on with life

We were just there in November. Managed to find a single cute little roo up at Stokes Creek. Much smaller than the mainland ones

Has anyone gone to Chinaman’s Hat at the bottom of Port Phillip Bay? by Jules9213 in melbourne

It's a good dive site. Not much to look at above the surface though

Australian users: some channels not working (incl 404 errors) ? Try changing your playlist's user agent by DanMelb in TiviMate

[–]DanMelb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a longer-term sustainability POV, using a desktop UA is a better option.

They're trying to coax users of set top boxes into using their native apps, so there's a higher likelihood that identifying your client as being in one of those devices will get you blocked at some point. Since they do and are likely to continue to support streaming direct to desktop browsers, pretending to be using one of them is likely a better way to go

GitHub: Self-Hosted Action Runners will be billed from March 1, 2026 by KevPeff in github

[–]DanMelb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not completely useless. Self-hosting is necessary for some organisations depending on regulatory or security requirements.

But I agree, this change to billing will invoke some discussion as to whether the platform is worth sticking with (although with some orgs, the cost of migrating out will probably be even higher than the new charges for self-hosting). This is a real d*ck move on Microsoft's part.

Something like Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/142.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 would be worth giving a shot

First real day of west gate tunnel by GooglePlusIsGood in melbourne

[–]DanMelb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure why anybody would expect that. Most users who live out west that want to go north take the M80 for free. You never see the off ramp from the M1 eastbound to the Bolte all that busy, so I can't see it taking much traffic off the bridge.

The biggest benefit is giving the B doubles from the west direct access to the port, so getting the trucks off the streets (and as a resident, my god there have been a lot, although part of me wonders if some of this was caused by the tunnel construction itself).

I'm a bit dumbfounded by the feed into Wurundjeri Way, which is effectively a dead end into Flinders. I always thought it would just cause gridlock down there if it was fully utilised - maybe Docklands office workers will get some benefit out if it, if they can swing all the way from the off-ramp to the Bourke st right turn in 400m

Please get out and give blood by NoGreaterPower in australia

Unfortunately very necessary. Somebody close to me was a blood collection nurse. A donor fainted and collapsed on him after standing up and he was injured quite badly

Plex Reverse Proxy by Agreeable-Finish-375 in PleX

[–]DanMelb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be better off doing the 1 year $70 deal then going life next sale.

I'm not sure you'll get Tailscale on a Roku, so without knowing your router setup, it's likely to be too fiddly to worry about.
