The Australian used to be much less about the culture wars and more about being the national newspaper of record, so if she subscribed in those days, there’s no shame in it 😂

Flood Megathread by lost_in_aus84 in brisbane

Any updates on availability of sandbags at Newmarket SES? I have some water flow that I'm managing at the moment but would be easier with some sandbags, but don't want to go out in the rain if the local depot is exhausted.

All the current freedom freedom freedom nutters seem to be confident that maritime law applies when they try to sit in a restaurant without being vaxxed...

I’d love to donate, and have done once, but have since been excluded under the UK ‘mad cow disease’ condition.

A tourism idea for BCC? Start a “float down the Brown Snake, drift up to riverside bars, get drunk” experience?

Enoggera by choppychopkins in brisbane

[–]jimmcslim 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is my place, that I commissioned Mr. Chopkins to capture for me. Tomorrow it will be 10 years that I have lived here and a lot has happened in that time… marriage, separation, cancer, the life and death of a couple of pets. Who knows how much longer I’ll choose to stay here, but this artwork captures it perfectly for me, and I can’t wait to get it framed!

It won’t really make a difference… Lachlan Murdoch (not James or any of the others) will inherit the throne and he is as right wing as his father.

ABC TV Brisbane offline? by jamiegriffiths72 in brisbane

Hmmm, I've just done a retune of all channels and ABC still completely absent.

TrueNAS 12.0-RELEASE launches! by kmoore134 in freenas

[–]jimmcslim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For reference I did the upgrade and everything is still chugging along. Great work iXsystems!

I just wish their hardware was more easily available in Australia.

[–]jimmcslim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does have 16Gb of RAM, but the containers aren't doing a huge amount. Certain operations definitely feel slow. But yeah, its put in a lot of faithful service!

I'd like to get a Microserver Gen10 Plus but they seem hard to find in Australia.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Does your setup include any bhyve VMs?

[–]jimmcslim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm running FreeNAS 11.3 U4.1 successfully on an old HP Microsoft N54L... yes, old! Including a small VM for Docker containers and the like.

Am I probably ok to upgrade to TrueNAS, i.e. they haven't removed any support for older hardware like mine?

30 September - 0 new cases by [deleted] in brisbane

Thanks, just waiting for my skin to stop looking like I wandered through ground zero and then it’s the waiting game for the next few years hoping nothing recurs.

I was at RBWH today and noticed that they have relaxed their position on face masks. For ~5 weeks it has been mandatory to wear masks at RBWH; I had been attending daily up to last Thursday for radiation therapy.

Introducing Android 11 on Android TV by ge_bil in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]jimmcslim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But Microsoft are unlikely to add Android TV support to their XCloud app since it competes with an Xbox in the context of playing games on a TV? Yeah, you can sideload it, but if they really only want you to use it with a mobile phone they probably aren't going to take advantage of the ALLM+LLD APIs?

One wire Pi to Mac networking with auto launching vnc by MrPotshot in homelab

I had to get my MBP keyboard replaced recently... $0 under the special Apple Repair Program. The genius said “Looks like there’s a bit of delamination occurring on your screen, shall we fix that too?” Price, also $0. And I had the MBP back in two days.

I was frankly floored by the quality of this service.
