How Im dealing with PHPgate tonight: Everything up to 8.2 or higher Putting all WordPress sites behind an .htaccess block first with a maintenance.html file and will update one site at a time once hosting providers have done their thing

One honking train. One millionaire threatening to leave. One beneficiary stoned in bed. How David Seymour turns a single story into a reason to tear up the rules, and what the numbers say instead

an amazing new project launches today in new zealand: people can report sexual harm, and get matched with others who reported the same person. when you report, you get a lawyer - and lawyer-client privilege. for free. i profile the website, technology, charity, & law firm here: www.webworm.co/tika/

Look at this absolute stunner of a photo up on the Taniwha's Den website. Believe that's Mr Oz up on the decks www.taniwhasden.nz

Peter Hook. Wellington Opera House. Get Ready in full, then Joy Division & New Order. @annahmn.bsky.social  reviews some well-worn basslines

I may have gone a little fangirl but damn it was worth it!

"I’m unsure how we can turn things around. But it seems clear that the answer to having too little humanness on the Web isn’t to have less of it and shut down our websites. [..] If you run a personal website, don’t get discouraged, keep it up. And if you don’t run a website, then why not start one?"

My working theory on a personal knowledge management structure going forward - whether you use AI or not. A map for exactly where information lives and the system to use it. #pkm #workflow #notetaking

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

Written and illus. by GV Hudson, an polymath/autodidact who did this in his spare time from his role as #wellington postman. I believe the publishing was also crowdfunded #kikorangi #biology #entomolgy #nzhistory

Carter's 2019 memoir Dead People I Have Known was so good it gave our editor a complex. "The thing is, Shayne Carter writes like a bitch... he lays his world out lucidly, and with as much innate groove and dynamic and honesty and attitude as his music." #BookReview #pukapuka tinyurl.com/85j9wsah

Perhaps we should just admit that the country only works at all because of the network of Aunties, and start electing governments that are basically made up of Aunties #nzpol

Me ranty in article form is so much more versed than live action.... Read the eloquent me here on @witchdoctornz.bsky.social before you get an earfull elsewhere tinyurl.com/yxrdjf2c

#nzpol Reminder: John Key said he'd vote for Trump. Judith Collins thinks Trump is fab. Chris Luxon will fawn over him. David Seymour views Trump as his supreme leader. Winston is mercurial. This is not the coalition govt we need to weather America's fickle fascist leadership interventions.

Trying to write a call to action article about not being despondent about 2026 and I'm really having to dig deep. I thought it was a good idea when I started this. Now Im thinking the only way forward is a Bloody Mary

It's under the jurisdiction of the country who just let Grok loose in it's military infrastructure....

Picard ethics tip: The fact that a conflict has many sides does not imply that every side has merit.

This is a very well written and worthy of your attention

I have spent the weekend devouring the new Homegrown Fruit Trees book by Kath Irvine & Jason Ross and it is unbelievably good solid, non-consumerist advice #nzbooks #nzgarden #gardening 100% recommend

Today is not todaying in the way today was meant to go

Guy in the vid i was watching said "I don't know what this is" Instantly got a Copilot pop-up saying "if you're stuck on something, copilot can help you figure it out!" and that's how i learned copilot is an always-on background process on my Win 11 laptop and that it is always listening

Peter Jackson's Moa people - Colossal group ..... these are their cultural advisory board members.... This must be a pisstake Chris Hemsworth, Joe Manganiello, Tom Brady, Steve Aoki, George RR Martin, Kit Harington, Sophie Turner AND Graham Hancock

Hey NZ, you have to watch this.. How the public is being manipulated in the run up to 11 Oct Local Body Elections #nzpol #kikorangi #nzmedia #mustwatch

Quick survey: Do any of you Kiwis use body-doubling services from overseas? like Focusmate, deepwrk etc I mean the cameras-on, not the cloning ones.... but do tell me about those in the comments please

Massive Attack does an excellent job of putting the Vylan controversy in perspective (from their Insta).

Matua Kahurangi is a fake account posted by Brynn Neilson who is running for the InternetNZ board. If you're voting there are much better candidates. Thanks @mountaintui.bsky.social @tinangata.bsky.social

Look how frickin cool this thing looks!

And you've got to trust that all of these systems will work everytime as expected and who will be libel or able to fix it when things go wrong.

Ministry for Culture and Heritage cuts will deeply affect Te Ara Encyclopaedia of NZ, Dictionary of New Zealand Biography, NZHistory, Te Akomanga digital history curriculum support. Jock Phillips is right, "they are absolutely central to the education of NZers." #kikorangi #nzpol

Funny, also every time you look up at the night sky (if you can see it) you are looking at a museum right before your eyes, it goes everywhere around the globe with you, offering different perspectives. The light from V762 Cassiopeiae (farthest star we can wee with our eyes) 16,308 light-years old!

So.much.this.
