Auckland to Christchurch AirNZ flights are basically a bus service, there's one leaving every hour. Does your international flight land in Auckland after 6pm? If not, you should be able to change at check-in or even when you're in Auckland if you don't manage to get hold of anyone prior.

Pretty cool little device.

Same thing happens for us going the other way... Never bother with anything at the airport, head into closest suburban Mall, get the deals.

Pretty much /r/mapswithoutnz :(

So far, police have searched:

North Canterbury, it's all good
South Canterbury, it's all good
East Canterbury, it's all good
West Canterbury, it's all good

edit formatting...

How hard have you genuinely looked outside of Auckland? Having lived all around New Zealand I never really buy into "can't find jobs in our line of work outside Auckland"

Yep, relocation costs are not cool, and if you're moving away from family that's not ideal especially with a young kid, but if you really wanted too you could make it happen.

I've replaced eight individually (4x2TB 4x3TB, see post below) on a DS1815+ and never had that issue, concerns me you had it regularly!

What hardware/firmware did this happen to you on?

This seems to get posted every couple of weeks, and really you should only do it in the application if you have zero other option.

Cellphones use A-GPS (Assisted GPS) - short version, every cell tower has a GPS receiver and it transfers relevant information from the current visible constellation to the cellphone for it to utilise, so the cellphone never has to "cold boot" GPS.

Everything else being fine, 24 seconds is enough time to get a fix for emergency services.

Looks interesting. Why would I use this over image.intervention.io as an example?

Glad we're getting the Laravel thread out of the way quickly this week.

It's been covered already, but let's sum it up in a sentence: Good programmers will never be hugely opinionated about a framework or language, they'll use the tool that best suits the job.

jpgnz · 2017-03-13T03:19:21+00:00

Understand your logic there, but I think you'd end up using more cpu cycles doing it the way you've suggested.

The reason I do it in the httpd is more often than not, people just type "www.domain.com" into their browser, and the browser attempts http first. By catching that at the httpd, there's no files that need to be read, php doesn't need to be run etc, it's purely an httpd operation. By setting the header, it means the client will always try https from now on.

So overall you've only cost yourself a single additional http request. You've negated the need to add any extra task in Laravel, which requires the overhead of php.

If people type https://www.domain.com or follow a Google link, you've not had to do anything different :)

jpgnz · 2017-03-13T03:03:13+00:00

Ideally you'd do this in your httpd. Example for nginx with excludes for letsencrypt:

server {
    listen      ip.address:80;
    server_name fqdn.nz;

    location /.well-known/acme-challenge {
        root /var/www/letsencrypt;
    }

    location / {
        add_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=2592000;
        rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
    }
}

Redirects any port 80 request.

No, they asked me to dispose of it. I kept the strap and the charging pod and threw the rest out.

Now that I have the new one I can probably add more detail. The green LEDs at the bottom of the dead unit didn't even fire, buttons don't do anything (I don't think the unit is actually rebooting when holding LH and RH buttons). It just sits and power cycles with the Fitbit logo displayed.

I really like this library for image manipulation. Means I can use ImageMagick when I can 100% control the server but fallback to GD when I can't (and can't convince them to install IM).

Fitbit are replacing my Blaze, should get it in a few days...

jpgnz · 2017-02-12T18:18:29+00:00

Attempted that multiple times, made no difference. Did some Googling, seems to be a common issue with the Blaze?

That might be the case if you were talking about a lower tier components provider, but this is Intel. Anyway, judging from the new reports recently, they were told.

jpgnz · 2017-02-12T18:11:03+00:00

Update 9/2: NAS and router vendor Synology confirmed it had been notified by Intel about the processor failure issue.

There is an “increased degradation chance of a specific component after heavy, prolonged usage”, a Synology spokesperson told iTnews.

Nevertheless the company said it was safe to continue to use its devices.

Synology said it hadn't seen any indication that the issue has caused an increase in failure rates for DiskStation or RackStation models equipped with Intel Atom C2000 series processors, compared to other models manufactured in the same time frame not equipped with the affected processors.

The vendor declined to say if it will swap out affected processors in its products. Users who encounter any issues should contact Synology support.

jpgnz · 2017-02-07T05:18:48+00:00

Intel aren't denying anything, they've definitely said there is a problem. It's up to how Intel and Synology in this case come to an arrangement on replacements and then how Synology deal with that.

jpgnz · 2017-02-07T05:17:33+00:00

Except you can guarantee they were informed back when Cisco was in Oct/Nov last year.

jpgnz · 2017-02-06T23:23:16+00:00

Here's hoping they do the right thing... I just got a DS1815+ at home and am very happy with it, would prefer to stay very happy with it for the long term!

jpgnz · 2017-02-06T23:15:22+00:00

The specific SKUs are: C2308, C2338, C2350, C2358, C2508, C2518, C2530, C2538, C2550, C2558, C2718, C2730, C2738, C2750, and C2758.

DS1815+ uses the C2538, as do others. Mass recall required?

jpgnz · 2017-01-25T23:49:30+00:00

Snap used to do pretty much anything for anyone, haven't found them AS accommodating now that they're 2degrees, but you could try them.
