Aotearoa Daily Kōrero 2/1/2024
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?
Holiday mode kicking in hard, thought it was a different day of the week than it actually is. Whee!
Haha I've been struggling with that too. Also struggling with the idea that I'm back to work next week 🙁
Yeah I don't wanna go back to work. whinges in corporate
When I get back I have to try to unsnarl an issue with user identification and access to client data where the user login is mediated by a separate app (SSO as part of a whole other project that is going on). The current requirements call for a verified identity from the admin user at account creation which puts the requirement for ID validation outside of the app my team is trying to implement. However, it has been pointed out (quite legitimately) that doing that puts up a barrier to account creation.
I'm of the opinion that we could track ID verified users downstream in the user profile in our app instead, which not only lets them get in the door nice and easy but also gives us future options about just how aggro we want to be with having an actual identifiable human associated with an account.
However, doing the legwork to validate my opinion is going to be a huge PITA. Also the vendor is onboarding next month so in addition to this nice little mess I get to revalidate pretty much all requirements against the actual capabilities of the chosen platform. Including the idea I have that we could incorporate an admin user ID verification step into profile creation. Le sigh. At least I have a minion to help.
And I don't know maybe the project director will swoop down accompanied by a beam of heavenly light and angelic choir to tell us we don't need ID validation at all....
I guess going back to work is a bit of a mixed bag.
I'm spending a few more days in Tauranga visiting family. I came down on the InterCity with my daughter, we prefer it to driving even though it takes longer.
My partner is staying home to look after the hundreds of rare seedlings we've germinated since our trips to the tropics. Sadly we haven't found anyone we can trust to look after them, so she's having some quiet time to herself. That's the trouble with living on a block, you can't just lock up and go.
Family member still semi bed bound so am spending my days with them and sleeping in sleepout at night. Feel sorry for other family members who were meant to be having a proper break but we're all doing what we can.
There's this chicken here that looks like a giant duckling crossed with a quail.
Beautiful weather!
There’s this chicken here that looks like a giant duckling crossed with a quail.
Does this chicken have an accompanying photo? Or do you know the breed so we can look up pictures?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but this thread says 11 comments. Yet i can only see 4. This happens often wher i cant see t amount of comments listed. Im new to lemmy and very average with computers in general. What am i doin wrong peeps?
Welcome to Lemmy! Great to have you here. How do you access Lemmy? Via the browser or an app?
There are 4 top level comments, some of them have replies which appear under the top level comments like a tree view. They may be collapsed by default, that's why you may not see them.
Harvested potatoes this morning and was pleasantly surprised by the haul from my tiny plot. Gotta figure out what to plant in the space next - maybe some pumpkin
That's quite the haul!! What variety did you grow? My last attempt a few years ago got some kind of blight late in the season. I've stuck with tomatoes and chilis since then.
I think those were Nadine potatoes if I recall correctly
They look amazing! I've only tried growing potatoes a couple of times and never got too many. That's an amazing crop you have there!
Beginners luck on my part. They got absolutely flattened by the wind so I wasn't confident of getting much of anything, but real happy with how my forays into growing stuff is progressing
