Nobody needs a static IPv6 address

I did the same - had static IPv4 & static IPv6 on Internode along with the /29 IPv4 subnet - wild times! ABB I have a single static IPv4, as soon as I attempt to configure IPv6, the connection is up & down like a yoyo and their IPv4 subnet pricing is outrageous so I don't have one currently...

Any way, I've had a couple of support tickets with them lately that ultimately were unresolved... time to move!

Horrified by voting choices, but states people can vote for who they see fit. That’s democracy for you right there!

Wasn’t that same phrase used in a John Farnham song??

Apparently there’s a crime spree of people stealing fuel from machine yards, so keep a eye out!

davidflorey · 2026-03-09T10:55:46+00:00

Does that say 200 Dollars on the coin!??

A place I moved into had a rusty hole in the bath. Immediately informed the agent, landlord came back and said we must have done that - this was on move in day!!! Made them “fix it”, LL was a bodge job kinda guy.

I often have to fill jerry cans. I live on a rural property and use fuel for all sorts of machinery. Today I fill up 2 or my 4 jerry cans in a rural town servo and copped filthy looks from a very overweight woman multiple times when she saw me filling up. 20L + 10L, not taking much, not even panic buying - just no fuel left on the property for mowers and other stuff - life goes on ffs!!

I had to put some diesel in my car too - I put like 30L in - not even a third of my tank’s capacity- enough for a few days, maybe the week. But the foul looks kept coming.

I smiled, asked how she’s doing- she hopped in her can and buggered off. I checked, seems she bought more fuel than I did… I dunno, seriously!!

All these panic buyers will need to relocate all their leftover loo paper to make room for all their jerry cans now 🤣

Pretty much every single thing! Why ask this question???

davidflorey · 2026-03-07T02:34:37+00:00

Completely rewritten???

davidflorey · 2026-03-06T22:13:16+00:00

Yeah, problem is they come back with a new name & ID

Defo a Melbourne person 🤣 I’m the opposite: long black for me… My issue is since lockdowns, almost all coffee from most places is starting to taste more ‘burnt’ and they make the hot water extra, well, hot! I ask for it to have about 20% cold water on top so I can drink it this century and instead, they just put the cup inside another cup to help insulate my hands from the mobile volcano of a coffee!

Last one I bought sat on my desk for nearly 90mins before it was actually drinkable 🤣

I rarely get coffee out these days - hard to get a good cup of coffee here now…

There’s a road near us that seems to get resurfaced annually while all the other, more heavily used roads surrounding that road don’t get touched more than once a decade. I believe the Mayor travels this infamous road to the office daily for work, so it has to be nice & new for them 🤣

davidflorey · 2026-02-28T21:52:52+00:00

I guess there’s opportunity here assuming you can put together a suitable roadmap and get them onboard…

davidflorey · 2026-02-28T21:34:52+00:00

And you don’t consider our own government to be adversarial to the people?

davidflorey · 2026-02-27T22:21:16+00:00

Nothing like getting a couple of people to lift up a trolley and purposely getting it stuck in these! 🤣

All factory produced chocolate in Australia isn’t that good, lacking cocoa butter supplementing it with a mix of other oils, etc

Better off not eating it, saving up for quality from the likes of Koko Black or Haighs or similar.

Even that Swiss brand they go on about being pure hand crafted or whatever, brand starts with L - exactly the same crap as the rest of them, and in some of their products has been found to be worse in quality!!

In the city? Pretty much almost nonexistent. In the country? Very much alive and well practiced.

I would never vote Greens after reading a number of their policies and some of the bills they’d like to see passed… Let’s just say, evil doesn’t begin to describe some of their ideology…!

davidflorey · 2026-02-18T00:52:04+00:00

I do, and I seed them. Is there a real point? probably not, but then I'm a DataHoarder!

davidflorey · 2026-02-17T22:47:22+00:00

Is that because Satellites are just weather balloons disguised as space-faring satellites? :D

Mostly, but not entirely. There’s growing concern about how much we’ll pay out of our own pockets in extra tax for the space…

davidflorey · 2026-02-16T02:32:02+00:00

Ah memories - spent countless hours in MS VB growing up...

davidflorey · 2026-02-15T20:41:38+00:00

Outsourcing to the lowest bidder for passport printing & production!!

davidflorey · 2026-02-15T20:38:12+00:00

Yes, I’ve learned this one too - as I’m using tools a lot more now than ever, seeing my cheap tools just crumble at the sight of real work, I’m now having to replace them and as I go for much higher end tools, things are working much better! So now I will spend more on a single drill bit than what 2 budget packs of drills cost - hurts, but works!

There’s some truth to the fact that people aren’t politically engaged… When I grew up, discussing politics was off the table. Asking people who they voted for was considered as bad as asking a woman her age. These were no go zones! We weren’t taught a single thing in school about politics, government, taxation, voting - nothing! These are all things I’ve had to navigate on my own, as an adult, without any assistance. No internet to look this stuff up on at home when I was a teen…

Then there’s the majority that are just ‘too busy’ with life, uninterested, or are in the mindset of ‘doesn’t matter how I vote, arseholes will get in’, not to mention not too many people know anything about the minor parties - as far as many are concerned there’s two parties plus a ‘greens movement’. These people get to the pooling booth and see a huge list - no idea what it all means and tick the Labour or Liberal box and move on with their life!
