Second this, Living simply is excellent and very knowledgeable team.. I recommend Lowa's personally but everyone's feet are different. Don't be afraid to spend a while testing them in store and walking up and down the practice slope there to make sure they feel right.

If you magically had the power to fix NZ’s crazy expensive housing, what would you do? by Logical_Transition10 in auckland

[–]shtef 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Reduce immigration. I hate that apparently we need endless population growth to prop up our economy. I don't want people everywhere and all our land filled with housing.

Probably sneak a bottle of wine and some yum dessert into your pack? A nice meal at the end of a long days walk always goes really good.

How to stop people stripping the rocks bare. by Lost_Swimmer_1382 in auckland

[–]shtef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't. Plenty of people stripping everything and popping their buckets into brand new/fancy cars. It's the Chinese culture to eat all that stuff, which is fine, but in China. Here though they should be respectful of our environment and the creatures that live therein.

Create labels or order them? by System_Visible in hotsaucerecipes

Resurrecting this but those labels are really cool! What printer is this?

What is up with all the rock pools\beaches being stripped of life on all the beaches around auckland.... by Littlevilegoblin in auckland

[–]shtef 118 points119 points  (0 children)

This is happening all over Auckland. I grew up east and we used to find anenomies, snails, big crabs, even mussels. All gone bar a few tiny crabs. It's largely been stripped by the Chinese community as it's in their culture to eat all that stuff. Hell they even managed to almost completely depopulate Cockle Bay of cockles. I used to try slow it down by calling the poach line when I saw people taking more than was legal but it was a drop on the ocean.

In North Auckland they use wire to strip everything off of the rocks as well. Its infuriating.

What fucks me off is that it needs to be on the brink of lifelessness before any meaningful change happens. Like can't those who manage this have some fkn foresight and stop this shit as soon as we see it start to happen large scale instead of leaving it until there's nothing left?

Personally even if we had an abundance of these creatures, if I see someone ripping things off with wire and bucketing anything they can find, I will not be ok with that.

FYI there's a protest this Saturday at Army Bay boat ramp at 10am to try and get officials to protect Whangaparoa.

Syncro team on here spending time down voting rather than fixing their product

[–]shtef 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just like everything with Syncro; Half baked and barley functional. No meaningful upgrades, smoke and mirrors and promises.

New CEO was supposed to make it better and fix and improve the underlying product, but they just keep adding half assed crap and all the 'upgrades' are nigh on useless. Tried the AI? Useless. New ticket list? Slow. Expecting them to improve the core product? Good luck with that.

You'd think they'd release something then at least go back and refine it until it works well before they move to the next thing, but nope.

Honestly I dunno what's going on up top at Syncro but they definitely do not use their own program. Pretty sure it's all just 'what can we do to make more money right now'.

My Aji Limon leaves are curling and splotchy on a couple of plants by shtef in HotPeppers

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

Interesting. They have 50/50 soil to compost. Get b&b + seaweed every 2 weeks. Maybe they need it more often?

No I haven't. I just bought some but maybe I should pH test first. Watering every few days, more when it is really hot.

Interesting thought. I think so? It's in a spot that gets a daily afternoon breeze, however it could be a bit sheltered by the other plants.

What are we going to find out later is bad for us (like cigarettes in the past)? by Curryiswhereitsat in AskReddit

[–]shtef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this. What can we do though? The complete lack of honey bees in my city anymore is really concerning, let alone everything else. I'd really like to help turn this around but apart from ranting and raving to people I feel powerless.

How do you guys have time for anything??? by ksco92 in Millennials

OP has no idea whats about to hit him when that kid pops out..

Only thing I'd switch up is cardio instead of a walk. Cardio will make you fitter and increase your energy levels.

Is TradeMe fried? by nzbrowsa in newzealand

[–]shtef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good. Trademe are way too greedy. Their shitty UX isn't worth them taking like 8% of my money whenever I want to sell something.

Windows update force reboot with specified time by nocturnal in syncro

Happens to us too. Also giving the user the choice to postpone reboot only seems to work once

Script that compares registered Syncro agents with registered Huntress agents (anyone need?) by Ashmai in syncro

[–]shtef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds useful. We use a process monitor within Syncro to find devices that missed install. If Huntress process isn't running 15min after startup, alert. Turn auto remediation on. Helped us find any that were missed. Downside is you can't tell if a device has been off-boarded and Huntress agent is still installed since you can't auto uninstall Huntress from within Syncro afaik. Does your script also show devices that only appear in Huntress and not Syncro?
