Football, tech, and self-hosting mammal. I tinker (and tend to break) servers, follow the birds — the feathered kind — and dig through bits of local history.

World News@lemmy.world•Record leap in CO2 fuels fears of accelerating global heatingEnglish
7·17 days agoHere in South Australia we are starting to see the effects and it’s pretty chilling.
The algae bloom affecting many of our suburban beaches (which is most of Adelaide) and a lot of country ones are seeing huge numbers of dead marine life being washed up.
Anything from leafy sea dragons to fish, stingrays, and sharks. The foam created on some days covers whole sections of beach.

While apparently it’s safe, there are warnings that you may experience breathing issues and rashes so your supposed to bring your inhaler and rinse off after you have been in. On windy days it can affect you even if your walking close to the beach.
As we head into summer the damage to local seaford providers (the seafood is fine to consume but people are wary) and cafe owners will be huge and is already starting to take effect.
Because our beaches are so close, people would go down after work for a dip or have a drink at the suburban pubs and cafes.

Had to create dummy emails, fake info for my 8 year old just so they could have their own kids logon. Despite it being a kids account MS still thought it was fine to show news and photos from Gaza. Spent an hour before nuking win 11. Running Linux mint, just works for us.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Those who don't use dashboards, how are you managing your services?English
1·1 month agoI mucked around with so many dashboards, homarr, homepage, dashy but settled on glance
Mainly because it’s minimalist and mostly text based. Handles my RSS feeds and anything that I want render I can usually vibe using the custom API widget.




Cheers, fixed it
