You know they aren't going to do shit. They are just going to wait until one of the ships stops working and then give one of their funders a huge contract to provide the replacement until it gets fixed which will of course never happen.

I know your reflex is to spew hatred towards labour and blame them for everything but the problem is really with you and people like you.

The public is the blame for their opinions and actions. The fact is that the public actually supports and enjoys everything National is doing. They want to hurt the poor, they want to hurt the Maori, they want to hurt immigrants, they want privatised healthcare and education system.

The country is going to shit because the decent people have left the country. What remains are the dregs.

Disgusting habit. Stop pushing this nonsense on us.

Just to follow up with you.

So far the counterfeit pants have been holding up great. My genuine addidas pants have all suffered from pilling but this one hasn't yet. Let's see what happens in another month.

Google "starve the beast" strategy.

Isn't you and I driving also important to the country's economic activity? I drive to work, I drive to the stores. I drive to the gym and recreational activities. That's all economic activity.

I'll check aliexpress but generally speaking I like to try on clothes before I buy them.

As I said I was surprised that the counterfeit was actually better than the original in many ways. It kind of sucks that we don't have access to these goods readily in NZ. Why should I go buy a blank ugly pair of sweatpants from Kmart when I can buy a much. better looking one of same or similar quality one from another vendor?

I do actually like the branding which is why I bought the counterfeit pants. I think they look nicer than the run of the mill sweatpants.

Oddly enough adidas changed the styling on their pants this year and I like the new designs less than the old ones so this makes the counterfeit ones even more desirable.

Wasn't it proven corruption when John Key appointed one of his buddies to a high paying position and made a backroom deal with Sky and Warner and then got a job with a Chinese bank?

Seems weird to kick out a politician for being corrupt. That would mean at least two thirds should be gone. Certainly everybody in NACT for sure.

Thanks. That's scary though.

Maybe the host was the problem in the first place!

If the federation is done by a helper app then it may be possible to throttle it. At least it wouldn't choke out the machine and slow down other running processes.

I would start by setting up some sort of a monitoring system that tracks your memory usage, disk I/O, CPU etc. There are many packages out there for that. I don't know what lemmy is written in but chances are there are also application monitoring you can wire in too like Sentry https://sentry.io/welcome/

Of course I don't know how your app is being hosted by fediservices. I don't know if you have shell access or can install any apps or whatever.

I was under the impression that our vaccines have not been updated and are not very useful against the latest variants.

Given the lack of rigorous testing and monitoring I suspect actual reported number of cases should be doubled or tripled. The hospitalisation and deaths are more reliable and that's what we should be monitoring.

What are you tracking? Where are you hosting? What kind of monitoring do you have in place?

It keeps timing out on me. It's sporatic but more frequent than I would expect.

How come nobody is reporting on covid anymore? From what I understand there has been a serious spike in cases over the last couple of weeks.
