Major IT outage affecting banks, airlines, media outlets across the world
  • Yes, but there are less competent people. The main answer for any slightly complex issue at work is 'reimage' - the pancea to solve all problems. And reconfig of personal settings is the users problem.

  • laptops and airport screening

    I flew out though Wellington last week, and was told I could keep my laptop in my bag, no doubt due to the new CT scanners.

    I know Auckland has these at the International terminal, but have they reached domestic yet? where else in the country?

    RESULTS - 2024 Instance Census for lemmy.nz
  • Thanks this is an interesting read. Probably unsurprising the strong technical job bias and the demographics that goes along with that.

    The spoiler tag hides the text of the bar graph but not the actual image!

  • Lemmy v0.19.4 Release - Image Proxying and Federation improvements
  • The hash tag just adds the community name:

    “The hashtag is based on the community name, so posts to /c/lemmy will automatically have the hashtag #lemmy. This makes Lemmy posts much easier to discover.”

    Not really putting words in your mouth.

  • Rewatching TNG: classic Riker boning his way out of the problem
  • Yes it was a jarring point in an otherwise great episode. But I still think it was still a Riker approach to the problem. Worf would never accepted the proposal and (gently) knocked out Lanel and then rushed the single guard at the door.

  • Decades of research destroyed after freezer fails at Swedish university
  • No problem, The gas phase avoids nitrogen liquid infiltration into our storage straws that could be imperfectly heat sealed. If only a tiny amount gets in this expands 700 times in volume to the gas phase when warmed up causing the straws to pop.

    The key glass transition temperature is that of the samples, there will inevitably be some warming as the tanks are used and sample racks removed, but so long as the samples don't warm more than -130°C they won't experience any structural changes.

    OFAF just saves liquid nitrogen, quite a lot is lost cooling down the pipes when doing a fill, so may as well fill all of the tanks while the supply pipe is cold.

    I think there is an issue with Tank 1, perhaps the insulation is not as good as the other tanks. I am monitoring to make sure it does not get worse over time.

    Thoughts on watchOS 10
    www.apple.com watchOS 10

    watchOS 10 delivers redesigned apps for more information at a glance. Advanced cycling metrics, insights for mental and vision health and more.

    watchOS 10

    What are your thoughts on the new watchOS 10? So far it seems OK to me, but I am missing the edge-to-edge screen swiping to change watch faces, why was this removed?

    Deleting reddit history

    Well Apollo has shut down so time to get rid of Reddit. I am currently using Power Delete Suite https://codepen.io/Deestan/full/gOQagRO/ to overwrite all of my old posts with some random text, then tomorrow I will run it again to actually delete all of the posts / comments.

    Apparently if you just delete they can be easily restored.

    Anyone else going down this path?

    country: USA for lemmy.nz !
    the-federation.info The Federation - a statistics hub

    Node list and statistics for The Federation and Fediverse

    Now this is incredibly minor so drop it to the bottom of your 'to do' list, but for some reason the country is set to USA for lemmy.nz on the Federation info site.

    Perhaps a default config somewhere, or interpreted from cloudflare?
