Aotearoa Daily Kōrero 21/12/2023

Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

- Mr Grinch here. Today’s been the sending of on-line cards to people who we met many years ago but with no subsequent connection. Why the f*ck am I bothering?. Mrs Floofah said, "we’d better stay in touch", me wtf! 🤬
- I think there's a middle ground between grinch and consumerism.
  With the adults in my life we've always kept it pretty low key, but present exchanges are fun. I try to get people to buy me stuff I need anyway, I haven't bought my own socks or T-shirts in years, I just get them for Christmas. There are socks and T-shirts for all budgets.
  I don't buy for people outside parents, siblings, wife, and kids - and I just ask people what they want.
I'm glad I held off on upgrading to 0.19, now we have 0.19.1 because outbound federation wasn't working properly in 0.19.
I don't think I will do the update before Christmas, I'll wait and see if more issues are found, but will install to a test instance to see if I come across any issues.
- Yup, I can see that happen to feddit.de
- What do you mean, you're supposed to do bleeding edge upgrades right before the holidays. Nothing could possibly go wrong!
  
  Remember to wait til the end of the day, that way you can get everything important done early in the day and then just coast into the holidays.
  
  Haha oh man for my private self hosted stuff it's hard fighting the urge to do updates just before bed. It's when I have free time, but inevitably the day I try to do a quick update before heading to bed is the day the update breaks everything and I need to restore from backup to get it working again 😆
Break up day. Yay! 2.5 weeks of doing mostly manly man things in my manly man shed with my manly man tools. Might have some manly beers in between my manly projects. Gonna be awesome. One kid is off to Malaysia for a month, other one out camping doing young people stuff. Just me and wifey. Nice.
- Exciting! Today I realised everyone else is finishing today and I'm working tomorrow with nothing to do because no one else is there. I guess I'll find something to do.
  
  I used to love working the days in between Christmas and New Years. Hardest thing about it is not getting bored. I think I would get like two calls total over three days
