I have a friend who spends all their time on APS. Apparently it's quite a thing if you work for the gov.

Didn't know there was an ausunions subreddit, going to take a look now.

    The museum I volunteer at has been seized by the NSW government and they intend to destroy it in c/australia@aussie.zone
    [–] [S] 1 point 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 child)

    Thankyou Sandy.

    Is it blocking some rich wankers view?

    IDK. It's behind the historic coal loader dock (very tall concrete structure) so you can't see it from immediately next to it.

    I have to wonder about what’s happened in the lead up, there must have been some sort of negotiation or demand?

    Sounds like it. According to the NSW gov's press release:

    The owners have previously been issued two Unsafe Vessel Notices (UVN) under section 46 of the Marine Safety Act requiring the owners to make in situ repairs to the vessel and to secure a dry dock for major works to repair the vessel’s hull.

    In situ repairs and maintenance have been going on for years (the non-cosmetic repairs I mention in the article). The last I heard dry-docking was planned for later this year, but the only dry-dock big enough is run by the navy and they have other priorities too.

    "Major works to repair" in drydock is interesting wording. Major works to make the ship pretty in drydock is definitely true (lots of cleaning back, priming and painting). We all want the drydock.

    meetings with you [...] you don’t acknowledge [...] you ignored these.

    you don’t own [...] safety of YOUR ship

    I'm a volunteer at a museum. To answer most of these points you will need to contact the charity foundation, and make sure you don't mix my words and theirs (eg writing a letter to a minister is something I have done, having meetings with maritime is something they have done). In the background I am trying to encourage them to comment on these items too.

    HMAS Diamantina? Looks absolutely gorgeous. Very jealous of the drydock.

    Being in an actual dry dock has given them an inertia that has so far overcome being prime southbank real estate

    The MV Cape Don is one of the largest historic vessels in Australia, so the choice of drydocks is limited. (Sadly can't build one out of mud and bucket the water out)

    (Serverside Minecraft mod) Wizards of Lua 6.0.0 release (modrinth.com)
     

    This lets you mod things server-side only (ie clients don't need to install mods). And do so without having to compile or do much other than have a text editor. There are some limits (eg you can't introduce new textures or models) but it's still a lot of fun.

    Mischief I've been up to with it:

    • Make cows and horses shearable (drops leather, reverts them to baby form temporarily) by intercepting PlayerUseEntityEvent
    • Disable fall damage near a particular mysterious tall tower and play a splash noise instead, by intercepting BeforeLivingEntityDamageEvent
    • Add mysterious sometimes-teleporters to two sets of identical ruins (one near spawn). My friends hated this, the rules to get it to work were too arbitrary. I felt like a 90's adventure game developer.
    • Add an /easydifficulty command (sets a player's max health higher), because some people on the server just wanted to farm, build and chill.
    • A deathchest mod, where the inventory is stored in an invisible minecraft:interaction entity stretched over a sign with a head on top. The advantage of this over chests is that all the items can be restored to their original inventory slots (including cursed armor xD) as I can store arbitrary data.
    • Add a /crush command, which informs the target that you have a crush on them and gives them a free rose.

    [SOLVED] ~13mm dart with 5-pointed star base found in my shoe. Non-ferrous (aussie.zone)
     

    Location: Sydney, Australia

    Does not react to a magnet. Does not show any signs of rust. Bent slightly.

    Looks almost like a mechanism from inside a click pen, but those normally don't have a stepped stabby end, nor need to be made out of metal.

    SOLVED: Stud earring. Gem goes on the the star end, second retaining piece goes on the stabby end. Thankyou.

    Reinvesting my super in Timtams (aussie.zone)
     

    All I'm reading about lately is share market stability woes. I am thinking it's worth converting my superannuation into a self-managed Timtam stack, or finding a fund that does that for me (FirstCrumbSuper?).

    Timtams are at a minimum at the moment (I've seen them at $3 a packet at Kfart, BALDI and Woolwarts). Liquidity is not a concern, UHT milk is a thing. There is no way I can lose.

    Todo: check back on 2027-02-01 and 2027-08-01 to see if malted or crumbled.

    Unrelated: if I suddenly need to offload a lot of chocolate biscuits in 2027 will you guys help bail me out?

    It turns out there is a Lemmy alternative with categories - anyone got stories about it? (aussie.zone)
     

    Holy crap, there is lemmy but with categories combining many communities:

    https://piefed.social/topic/gaming

    I hate having to choose between visiting each community individually or seeing all my subscriptions in one place (I'm not always in the mood for news and gaming and memes and niche cartoons and soil science).

    Took a while to find the sourcecode , for some reason my search engine doesn't want to show codeberg:

    PieFed A Lemmy/Mbin alternative written in Python with Flask.

    • Clean, simple code that is easy to understand and contribute to. No fancy design patterns or algorithms.
    • Easy setup, easy to manage - few dependencies and extra software required.
    • AGPL.
    • First class moderation tools.

    Feels like lemmy. Smells like lemmy. Talks like lemmy. Technically isn't a 'variant' but an 'alternative' because the code isn't a fork, but from my lazy ass user perspective it's totally a variant.

    Image vs link posts are more clearly presented too. On lemmy I have to squint at the icon in the corner of an image to work out if clicking on it will make it bigger or take me to a different website. Inconsistent and fiddly, especially when I'm tired.

    Anyone here tried hosting it and can comment on whether it's a PITA or not? It's an interpreted language so the presumption is it would be crap, but for all I know it might have a better architecture that makes up for it.

    Also, would I be considered an aussie.zone traitor if I started using https://piefed.au/ more? Anyone know the people running it to make sure they're not secretly kiwis?
