What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness?

Jump

  • For me it was Russia when I spent aroubd 9 days there (in and around Moscow). The people were genuinely friendly and there we not the scammers/tourist traps like in most of Europe and Asia.

    The markets were as interesting as any I've been to in Asia/North Africa.

    • Does it make sense to host your own instance of lemmy for one user?

    Jump

  • I do, mostly for my self but I do allow registrations. I'm generally the only user though.

    The communities that I do have get a little trafic - but they are very NZ and niche

    • Selfhosting Sunday - What's up?

  • I had that problem once, just had to delete a duplicate db function

    Jump

  • Email... My wife really wants to further de-google, this means moving custom domains off gsute.

    Do I move to proton/tuta or go back to self hosting email again like I did for years until about 2010?

    If I self host, do I do it at home or on the server that runs my lemmy instance?

    • 'Strange': Experts flummoxed as Pete Hegseth brings wife to sensitive meetings

    Jump

  • didn't he laso being his son in on 'top secret' meetings?

    • The next pandemic is coming. NZ isn't ready

    Jump

  • It' much worse now as there seems to be a growing mistrust in 'the government' over the last 5 years. Not helped by people like a senior citizen that proclaims "Make NZ first again" forgetting that he has been deputy PM 5 years out of the last 8

    • Pixelfed leaks private posts from other Fediverse instances - fiona fokus

    Jump

  • well that's not good

    • Trump Signs Order Calling for Citizenship Proof to Vote in Federal Elections

    Jump

  • From the outside, if this can be done, I would have thought this would impact Red States more than Blue

    • I've tried nearly every browser out there and these are my top 6 (none are Chrome)

    Jump

  • I suspect that we may be looking back with rose tinted glasses, but the main stream internet is pretty crap atm

    Jump

  • I beg to differ, when Opera had its own engine and wasn't Chinese owned - back in the early '00s.

    • Is anyone else getting failures to generate reports when reporting the constant spam from "Nicole, the Fediverse Girl" which originates from a different, new instance every time?

    Jump

  • Sorry every one, Nicole made an account on my instance yesterday, since banned

    • Bed Occupancy Sensor?

    Jump

  • How about mm radar?

    I grabbed a couple of Ali last month to use for lighting sensors for the hall and toilet, not set up yet

  • I had not seen much of MeidasToucg before this election, as as a 'rest of world member' the first couple of videos I watched were OK, then it seemed to be more of the same and as you say "Newsreader DAZED & BEFUDDLED by hyperbole!"

    • What, if any, cybernetic augmentation would you want for regular life?

    Jump

  • Yeah Exoskeletons; My left knee, I fecked that up many years ago and carrying a multi day pack can get sore. Also lt left shoulder, I fecked that up last summer (I think there may be a post or two in my history) and it now has pins in it and is still not right.

    On the more extreme probably augmented vision, uv through to ir?

    • Trudeau’s message to American people: 'Your government has chosen to do this to you'

    Jump

  • How does that work in US politics? Can Congress raise a vote of no confidence?

    • NZ 'steadfast in support' for Ukraine amid Trump clash - PM

    Jump

  • The exchanges are truly a [new?] low.

    All the way down to "Why don't you wear a suit? It's disrespectful" from the guy in the ill fitting siut

    • Trump thinks he humiliated Zelensky. He really humiliated the United States

    Jump

  • I liked his reply to that. That black shirt looks miles better than that ill fitting suit on that guy

    • would dating my ex friend be worth it, do you think he could love me and would calm down if i said yes or am i just thinking this out of sadness?

    Jump

  • As a straight guy

    <sinp some pointless comment>

    , stat the fuck away from that guy

  • I'm currently a Site/Processing manager that dabbles in data, got there through beekeeping. I got a summer job working for a beekeeper (over 30 years. ago now) while doing a BSc in organic chemistry and never went back to uni - I was planning to go into lab work/food science in the dairy industry.
