I'm currently a Site/Processing manager that dabbles in data, got there through beekeeping. I got a summer job working for a beekeeper (over 30 years. ago now) while doing a BSc in organic chemistry and never went back to uni - I was planning to go into lab work/food science in the dairy industry.

We have had near 3 weeks of 25 to 30 deg here in the Waikato, It's felt like summer at last; although this evening was cooler.

I wonder how location dependent it is?

Hell we haven't has 1 and 5c for decades here, prices still end in .99. It just the final amount that gets rounded .

Yes it does take an Act to allow the rounding on the final price.

Virtualizing my router - any experience to share? Pros/cons? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 7 points 2 weeks ago

I run opnsense as a VM and have done for maybe 5 years now, moved across 3 different sets of hardware.

I DO have a hardware router under the ONT for if / when I feck up proxmox.

Snapshots are great when you start to play with the firewall settings or upgrades

would it be unprofessional if i used text emojis on corporate or professional settings?? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 2 points 2 weeks ago

Probably will have a lot depending on the country and how well you know the person at the other end.

I'd be happy to (and do use) some text emoji with people I know well.

'Real risk of double-digit increases' in power prices in c/newzealand@lemmy.nz
[–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe we shouldn't have been giving our power away at cost to a AU multinational for the last years. Maybe we should have been using profits to invest in new wind/wave/solar way befor we actually started...

Canada and Mexico hit back after Trump signs order for punishing tariffs in c/politics@lemmy.world
[–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

If Canada wants to really retaliate then wouldn't the best option be to put on an export tax ON exports to America (like oil/gas/power/Minerals and Heavy equipment)?

Money Game. Part 2. Ren Gill (www.youtube.com)
 

After the last few days

... Money is a game and the ladder we climb

Turns a saint into a sinner with his finger in crime

I'll break it down for you motherfuckers line by line

This is business economics in a nursery rhyme

She sells seashells on a seashore

But the value of these shells will fall

Due to the laws of supply and demand

No one wants to buy shells 'cause there's loads on the sand

Step 1: you must create a sense of scarcity

Shells will sell much better if the people think they're rare, you see Bare with me, take as many shells as you can find and hide 'em on an island stockpile 'em high until they're rarer than a diamond

Step 2: you gotta make the people think that they want 'em

Really want 'em, really fuckin want 'em

Hit 'em like Bronson

Influencers, product placement, featured prime time entertainment

If you haven't got a shell then you're just a fucking waste man

Three: it's monopoly, invest inside some property, start a corporation, make a logo, do it properly

"Shells must sell", that will be your new philosophy

Swallow all your morals they're a poor man's quality

Four: expand, expand, expand, clear forest, make land, fresh blood on hand

Five: why just shells? Why limit yourself? She sells seashells, sell oil as well!

Six: guns, sell stocks, sell diamonds, sell rocks, sell water to a fish, sell the time to a clock

Seven: press on the gas, take your foot off the brakes, Run to be the president of the United States

Eight: big smile mate, big wave that's great Now the truth is overrated, tell lies out the gate

Nine: Polarize the people, controversy is the game

It don't matter if they hate you if they all say your name

Ten: the world is yours, step out on a stage to a round of applause

You're a liar, a cheat, a devil, a whore

And you sell seashells on the seashore

Rain, rain, rain, rain

A storm, it comes our way

And those who rise through distorted lies

Poisoning the veins

But we like to point the blame, blame, blame, blame It's easier to blame

But point the mirror at ourselves We're all part of this old money game

Drone pictures of White Island in level 3 (www.youtube.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://no.lastname.nz/post/739915

WHAKAARI / WHITE ISLAND The Volcanic Alert Level has been raised to Level 3 at White Island and the Aviation Colour Code raised to orange.

Aviation Colour Code Orange indicates that a volcanic eruption is underway but with little or no ash being produced.

On Geonet's website, duty volcanologist Geoff Kilgour said the volcano had produced "a more vigorous plume" on Friday afternoon, moving volcanic ash to the east of the island.

Today, 10th August, Whakaari exhibited vigorous activity at the vent, which maintained a constant plume that was visibly depositing ash into the sea. The latest official information is available from GeoNet at https://www.geonet.org.nz/mbl/news/6C...

Just to clarify, a drone has no sound, from the brief times we could hear the sound it was identical to Dukono in Indonesia. This was the sound used in this video.
