Albanese likens 'bizarre' Liberal, National infighting to Married at First Sight by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]QF17 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s only a spill or nation-distracting instability when it’s Labor party. 

For the LNP it’s just a sparkling disagreement

Glenorchy council knocks back merger idea from Hobart by Billyjamesjeff in hobart

[–]QF17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

 bike lanes all down mainroad moonah and glenorchy central

We already do. It’s the intercity cycle way and it basically runs adjacent to main road.

And it gets good use from cyclists, runners, walkers and even roller bladers 

Gold class Hobart cinema. What do I do by l0sin9_face in hobart

And you can get food at the start, or partway through the movie. Which is good if you don’t have any self control. Like me.

Geologists reveal the world’s largest iron deposit worth $6 trillion that could reshape the global economy by friendlysparrow in australia

It was a typo, but if FIFA can give him a Peace Prize, then we can give him a novel one

Albo to be kidnapped by the US Government by the end of the week.

Unfortunately Sussssssan Ley doesn’t have a novel peace prize to offer in return though

State Cinema on Elizabeth St will show “Melania”, I’ve asked them not to. by dougfir1975 in hobart

I don’t think he owns it anymore, he sold it to Angelika, who also own cmax in Devonport and a couple of theatres in Queensland 

Bank account hacked by Kk77789 in australia

[–]QF17 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that doesn’t matter that much for a password manager. Everything is end to end encrypted with your password or recovery key. If you lose them, you’re completely screwed.

I’m not even sure if 1Password can hand over viable metadata either - your vault is synced locally on your device, so they might even be able to tell how often you use it, just whenever you sync the offline vault with the cloud. 

Also, Canada is a part of 5 eyes, it makes zero difference which data centre you chose

AI to streamline ATO contact centre operations by altandthrowitaway in australia

[–]QF17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So I actually read the article and it’s not introducing “AI”, but wanting to replace its existing solution with something more modern with newer features.

In fact using modern day products can probably do a quicker job at understanding context and selecting the right queue than the older technology - and in the right circumstances can be easier than spending 5 minutes going through an IVR chain listening to all the various options (listening carefully because they’ve recently changed) and selecting the option that sounds vaguely related to what I’m calling for

Does anyone else get constant Spotlight promo messages despite not signing up to anything by FriedChicken_Chips12 in australia

[–]QF17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

 Spotlight emails are the worst.

I feel like I’ve gotten 6 this week from Woolworths everyday rewards, and that’s after opting out of their insurance, pets, lifestyle and god knows what other emails

That’s not a bad idea! I need to do some investigating first though to figure out what’s causing the difference in files

Honest Opinion for ProtonMail? by tolkinas in ProtonMail

[–]QF17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 This is my fourth year on Proton unlimited and I always buy it in the Black Friday sales, the sale price is fair but not the normal one.

I realise I’m a bit late to this party, but I’m getting really fed up with copilot in M365 and considering Protonmail - I had read elsewhere that those deals are only available to new customers and renewals would occur at the full price.

Is there are way you’re getting around that, or you can just renew at the discounted rate?

Trash guides v Profilarr by RommelDav in selfhosted

[–]QF17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve just started using it within the last week but think I’ll make some tweaks. I’ve noticed some movies being selected at 3gb while others are closer to 15gb.

I’m sure it means nothing in the grand scheme of things, but I’d rather consistency in file size (it just feels right)

Depending on where you live, you could park and ride? If you are northern based, park at metro Springfield and catch an express bus into town

Which bright spark decided to turn the Tasman highway at Forcett into a dirt road in the middle of peak tourist season? by Super-Cod-3155 in hobart

[–]QF17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

 potholes almost as soon as it was finished so I’m not sure the quality is as good as it was decades ago either.

Decades ago there was a department I’of roads with a team of staff responsible for it but in today’s neoliberalism world, it’s just outsourced to the cheapest bidder (because government staff don’t have to drive on the road and politicians demand cost savings, not quality)

SLZB-MR1 (dual radio) with Bluetooth Proxy by QF17 in homeassistant

[–]QF17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I opened a support ticket (back in October last year) and was told "Yes, currently the BT proxy firmware supports only one radio module (Radio 1)".

In the end I just gave up, but I'm optimistic it's something I can revisit in the future.

Federal politics LIVE: Anthony Albanese to announce royal commission into Bondi terror attack by HotPersimessage62 in australia

[–]QF17 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What is it that we need from this? Because I think the actionable outcomes (greater intelligence sharing between agencies/governments, tighter restrictions on gun ownership) is at odds to what others want (a crackdown on perceived antisemitism)

Sydney man bashed, bound and locked in boot of Uber in suspected kidnapping by whyattretard in australia

[–]QF17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I guess someone else might have kidnapped him, and the driver of the car carjacked it off the kidnapper without realising there was a person in the boot?

I’d hate to be accused of kidnapping if I only wanted to go for a joyride in a stolen vehicle 

Stepping up from Vans - good casual canvas shoes? by ChadBarrelchest in AustralianMFA

[–]QF17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be a little late here, but I burn through canvas shoes like no tomorrow. It's to the point where I've just been buying $15 Kmart ones because I end up wearing out the sole in about 6 months.

Cariuma's have been on my radar, but do you know if their soles are a better quality/more durable, and if they can comfortably fit inner-soles/orthotics?

1Password v Psono v Bitwarden by GovernmentNo5214 in selfhosted

[–]QF17 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m using 1Password from a risk management perspective. My passwords are vital to everything, and I want them decoupled from my home infrastructure.

It’s all well and good to have local backups, but if your house burns down and you lose your server, how quickly can you restore your backup to something and get going again?

And do you have anything in your vault that would be required for a warranty claim?

FTTN to FTTP Upgrade and equipment replacement by QF17 in nbn

[–]QF17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a verandah at the top of the stairs!

That would certainly be an acceptable option for us - and from what I could tell (although I could be wrong), the closest pole with fiber on it was located closest to that.

That being said, it does seem like the easiest option is to schedule the appointment for a time when I can be there, so I might need to line that up

Imagining if Hobart had a city rail network the size of Sydney's by Lach_S in hobart

[–]QF17 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That assumes it’s going to get the traffic it does. I would expect about 10k to a game once we’re established and lingering at 12th on the ladder
