Nah, this is a relatively new public holiday that we’ve only been observing since 2022. It’s called Matariki. Here’s the summary:

Historically, Matariki was usually celebrated for a period of days during the last quarter of the moon of the lunar month Pipiri (around June). The ceremony involved viewing the individual stars for forecasts of the year to come, mourning the deceased of the past year, and making an offering of food to replenish the stars. Some Māori use the rise of Puanga (Rigel) or other stars to mark the new year.

Celebration of Matariki declined during the 20th century, but beginning in the early 1990s it underwent a revival. Matariki was first celebrated as an official public holiday in New Zealand on 24 June 2022.

It was originally proposed to replace our Queen’s Birthday public holiday, but in the end we got both.

Wow, New Zealand too! Except our extra day was Friday, and we live in the future, so back to work already.

Stardew Valley is casual, low stress, with heaps of content.

For quick few minutes I’ve recently been into Pirate Solitaire which is on F-Droid.

From what I’ve seen, they aren’t building the games, they are licensing existing ones. There are decent games in the mix.

Yes, definitely. Perhaps highlighted if it’s one of their first few posts or the account is new.

Beta is the wrong word, but there is quite a difference in stability between Fedora and Debian.

Yeah, it might be easy to install but you are also a beta tester of things that will be in more stable distros two years from now.

But with that said, I love Fedora, but with Gnome. I use Nobara for the gaming simplicity but with the vanilla Gnome spin. I’d recommend it to anyone, most Linux distros these days are pretty user friendly once installed.

I am convinced this is already happening. One example is the endless new accounts posting ibtimes links.

There are also propoganda websites posted regularly by new accounts (especially sowing disinformation about Russia’s war on Ukraine).

Basically be wary of anything posted where it’s their first post. Often they make accounts and don’t use them for months so they look older.

I also think astroturfing is happening but at lower rate than reddit.

Like you, I have no idea how we can counter this at scale.

I guess it’s Geforce Now

Oh I didn’t thing about access points. With something like ZigBee, the switches add to the network range. But for WiFi, each switch will need to be in range of an access point. We have pretty decent coverage but the benefit of using ZigBee is other devices can take advantage of the extended network.

Others have talked about Zwave, I’m not sure which camp they sit in.

Interestingly. I was a bit worried about adding dozens of new WiFi devices but it sounds like it’s not an issue so I will consider the WiFi switches after all.

Sweet, I was a bit wary of WiFi switches but maybe I’ll consider them after all

I was under the impression that WiFi could only handle so many devices connected. 20 years ago if you got more than 10 or 20 some would start getting kicked off. Maybe that was my short router. Is that never an issue with modern routers? Even adding hundreds?

How do WiFi switches do when you have a lot? Is it an issue to put in 50 WiFi switches, wouldn’t that overload the network?

Doesn’t that prove they weren’t around in 1199?

Huh, is there some drama I missed?

Of all the photos of seen from the year 1199, I’ve never seen a Papa Johns. I suspect they weren’t around back then.

Reminds me of all those places supporting child cancer. You never see any signs saying they are against child cancer.

Haha dumb autocorrect. Firefish is what I was trying to say.
