Discussion Thread 🧵 Wednesday 29 October 2025

Can someone help me reset my password please? 🥺 Currently only have Lemmy on my old cracked screen phone I'm not bringing out with me anymore. Have tried sending password reset link all day and get no email

I think this is a job for @Nath@aussie.zone
- I can absolutely help with that. But not from here.
  I'll get into this when I get home in a couple of hours.

New additions to the posse

They have white socks lol

THE SAND IS SCREÉD

The cats or a possum will certainly walk over it before morning.
- Not a huge drama, it's a bedding layer for recycled concrete chunks of varying thicknesses anyway. The guidelines are fixed points, as long as there's no turds i'm G

Presentation went AMAZING, best one yet. Lots of questions and discussions during the session which is exactly what I want. And a possible new client that came to the session has already emailed me. That's how it's done!

You’re smashing it!

I'm the wrong species.

I’m definitely coming back as a cat

Work from home tomorrow then Friday and Monday off. There's something going on at work where they'll pay for us to go to the museum so I think I'll take them up on that for Sunday

Too nice a day to do admin and emails inside so grabbed the laptop and relocated to the park. I cannot describe how good a decision that was for my little burner out brain. 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

Dragula is a great trashy show. Drag queens bitching each other out and being all sassy and witty, while designing horror themed drag outfits. I didn't know I was a fan of this subculture until now

Also a banger of a Rob Zombie track - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqQuihD0hoI
- It is! I love that song 😂

How bizarre. I slept overnight for a few hours, and then spent the time from 7am to 5pm mostly asleep. I really hope it isn't COVID and it's just today I'll be like this.

I think back to a year ago when I was dealing with the old job. I wanted to try get into recording again around the grand final long weekend but realised I had to make moves to try get out of there. Things have been good with the current job and I'm talking some days off around this public holiday without any plans so I might try get into things again

Recording music?
- Yeah, I put down some riffs I was thinking of doing something with. I was thinking I could structure some songs and rerecord and layer until I'm happy. But I figured it was better for me to spend my evenings putting in for jobs instead

Another presentation today! My last in the tour, feeling a lot more positive and less nervous than I did on the day of the last one. Mindset is currently - going to kill it.

Hell yeah you are!!

I've decided to buy a phone tripod and make lame social media videos playing covers.

Will it be a waste of time? Absolutely.

Will it be fun? Depends if Gibson makes a star appearance lol

As long as you have fun doing it!!

Started getting a sore throat yesterday but I thought it was because I didn't drink much water. Boy was I wrong. Woke up with a migraine, fever, chills, bodily pains and of course, a way worse fucking sore throat. Hopefully I can recover faster than I did when I was sick two months ago because I have to do a presentation in five days.

I have whipped and snipped some edges and the tallest clumps of grass in the backyard. Now my arms are feeling a bit wobbly. Not sure if I'll do the mowing today or tomorrow. I should do a bit more cardboard/mulch application and start on planting vegie seeds, but my motivation is very low today.

I keep going out and looking at the area I'm gonna pave, checking all the supplies are ready to go and have to keep reminding myself that I can't start it now it's the middle of a bloody work day

Vale Sybil Fawlty 😥

I’ve had a lovely breakfast - my favourite local cafe does not skimp on the number of 🍄‍🟫 in their omelettes! - taken my library books back and had my hair cut. All to the good

There's a very distinct smell outside from certain trees. 🤮

🎶Oh the sprog trees will blind the weary driver...🎵

ahhh it's all happening I've ripped out the corner cabinet, painted down the hardiboard waterproofing, fitted marine ply to level the floor, plumber tomorrow to fit the new shutoffs, detach the brewery piping from the kitchen and put in a new trap for our dishywashy, Monday sparky comes to fit socket for dishywashy and then we install dishywashy. Meanwhile, I have Friday-monday off as well as cup day so I'm FINALLY GONNA FINISH LAYING THAT FUCKING CRAZY PAVING. and His Lordship shall complete the pointing on the back wall, paint the side wall and start work on the cleat wall.

"Panel needs replacing on a car? Going through insurance will run it at $2200. Skipping all the paperwork going straight through me will be $1100. However, if you want it done on the weekend, cash in hand, let's make it $800."

I would love for this to happen honestly. I was quoted 2.5k to replace a panel a few years ago. Haven't done it because the car is probably worth 5k and it's still functioning okay ish.
Cash economy is strong. I'm moderately sure my first few employers were paying me cash but not paying taxes/super etc. I was a clueless teenager getting cash envelopes and didn't know better. I'm probably owed a couple hundred dollars in super from each of them.
Still got the big red boat? It was a fun looking car.
- Nah, had to move that car on a year ago. It was beautiful, fun and entirely impractical. I've now got a little zippy hatch. Compromised on the convertible by getting a sunroof, lol.
I need to find that guy! Trying to get a replacement door for mine and they all want to go through insurance and charge bajillions.
- I'm sure I can pass on the deets if you're around the Moorabbin Airport area!

What up, what up

The Sun. Lovely day outside.

Can’t sleep club checking in. Also thankyou Melbaboutown. Yarrabyte seems to be chucking a sickie again.

Yep on both counts.

I've missed having a modded console to mess around with.

I just love having complete control over a piece of hardware. If it's yours you should be able to load whatever you like onto it.

I've liked that with the handheld I got. I changed the OS and it has opened up so much more capability from the same hardware.
I think that's been the appeal of the Steamdeck for people as well. It's just a linux computer in a handheld design so you can put whatever you want on there. There are launchers for GOG and Epic games, and all these apps for emulation. Valve seems to understand people who play games buy games, so you just need to give them the best device for doing so.
- Exactly. It's that freedom to do as you please.
  At the moment I'm using my ps5 controller to play pc games streamed via moonlight to the switch.
  It can do so much! Which is why I got sick of the iPhone. Great hardware, locked down insanely tightly. And no jailbreak.
