+1 for Voyager, I'm with them also - have used them for the last 3 years and I don't think I've ever experienced an outage, speeds have consistently been great.

Fairly local peering too, so for my offsite-backup at a friends house in Dunedin where I also am based, the traffic only has to go via chch, rather than Auckland with some providers. Though I think some places like 2Degrees may have Dunedin peering. Not a problem for me anyway!

Static IP being one-off fee as it should be is a big tick. They also didn't raise my price for some reason when they recently did update pricing and I have a friends and family discount even though I don't think I'm friends or family :)

Depending on how dirty it is, I would assume at the very least cleaning the car removes things that can harm the paint (and result in corrosion later down the track) like bird poop, road grime and brake dust to name a few things.

Even just washing very infrequently, maybe a couple times a year could probably save the paint on your car and prevent premature corrosion of a vehicle!

Plus some people just like their car to be shiny I guess!

Was watching the game at the stadium tonight and what a game! Such an incredible atmosphere - just a shame that the Ferns get eliminated as a result of the game.

Well played by both sides considering no goals at all!

Just want to add a +1 for Leo!

I just bought (but haven’t received just yet) a Piantor from BeeKeeb and Leo upgraded me to the V2 with USB-C for free! He just checked in with me to make sure I was happy with that change.

So thanks Leo, and I look forward to using my Piantor with USB-C as well :)

Good shout on Memmy - just signed up for the Test Flight.

So far I like it better than Mlem since it actually truncates posts to a normal size to easily scroll through!

Love the photos and of course the use of Pixelfed! Federation FTW!

Hey I wouldn’t mind signing up for some mod activity! I’ve got a background in tech (day job systems engineer) and an interest in modding, though no real world experience outside of a Facebook group with a few thousand members.

Happy to use Matrix (I already host my own Matrix server too :) )

You must be a real life sysadmin with those skills!

[-] quirq@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago

That's a good take on it actually!

If you consider how many people are using the Matrix network, then Lemmy instances will probably end up fine. Just gotta convert lurkers to active participants (like me, I mostly lurked on reddit, but have been a bit more active on my home instance)

Just felt like making the first post. I'm in Dunedin and it's been chilly, so of course I'm inside on lemmy.nz!

[-] quirq@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago

I'm in Dunedin, so would subscribe to that one too ;)

I'm thinking it might be an iOS thing now - I can't even login via a web browser on my phone :P

But yeah I tried all of the combinations.

Looks like they've had issues with lemmy-ui before based on the GitHub issues. I will await fixes and just comment/post while on Windows :D

Seeing as this is about Lemmy specifically - has anyone tried out Mlem for iOS? Lemmy client app (https://github.com/buresdv/Mlem)

You can install it via TestFlight from that link.

Looks really nice for iOS, but personally couldn't get it to log me in to lemmy.nz - Thought I'd see if anyone else has tried to get it working!
