Kind of surprising how often I reach for my phone to check on reddit when I’ve got a spare moment. I deleted the shortcuts so I’m not following through with the habit, but dam is the urge still there to go waste time. Only been a week so far but I feel it’s had more of an impact than quitting booze or weed.
It’s so hard especially when rl is boring or not going well. Just be persistent and gentle on yourself because social media is hard to cut down on or quit
Booze and weed are just plants and chemicals. Social media had been designed to get you addicted
Heyo
👋🏼
In-person interview this morning. I’m running on about 3 hours sleep and my hair’s not behaving. We’ll see how this goes.
devil may care hair looks great though.
So I was looking to jump on the protonmail train. I wanted to get an email that was basically my name, but given I have quite the generic name this has proved not possible. Are there any other similar type providers with the same rep/reliability/stay-aroundedness?
I understand generic names are a pain in the proverbial (Boyo has a hell of a time with police etc checks), but unique ones pose other problems. I’m much more net searchable than I would like.
I also had very generic name issues. Tried a dozen variations with no luck. Periods, n underscores n abbreviations n partial initials. No luck.
You might find it a challenge with any company if you have a very common name. Maybe variations adding in other words could work (like calhoonmail, or contactcalhoon)?
I’ve signed up for the paid service which gives access to more stuff, and also allows me to use my own domain name. So my address will now be portable, and I have multiple addresses along the lines of mail@myname.website
Well there you go, a random rock melon (I think) in the flower patch. Never had much luck with them in the past but since I have no idea how it got there it’ll probably work out.
This hot weather is perfect for them. I used to grow them in EBrunswick on the north facing side of a shed that got sun all day, up a trellis. Just keep the fruit off the ground, plenty of water and drainage at the roots but none on the leaves and they should ripen up just fine. In the right spot they’re easy - bloody impossible in the wrong spot. You might want to prune off any little fruits as they won’t have time to swell and ripen before the cool weather sets in, and may hold back the big one.
that is cool 👍
Normally it’s rando tomatoes that pop up but I’ll take the melon :)
I get that noxious climbing weed coming up
That ornamental choko looking thing? I hate that thing! It comes from nowhere overnight at my place like Jack’s beanstalk but with no darn treasure. I guess no giant either.
My dinner was outstanding
Not much wave action tonight but was lurvly out there tonight.
Here’s a cloud instead.
is it just me or does that cloud have lovely kissy lips and eyes?
DUNDAAAAAAA
sky pretty
It looks incredible
Raaaaaain
anyone here on vodafone? My boost sim runs out next month and now that Vodafone have solved their regional issues (by stealing someone else’s network) I’m curious to hear what its like, specifically in Melbourne where boost is… lets be real not amazing since the 3g shutdown.
Plan on switching to Vodafone from Boost in the next day or two, thanks to that $150/365-day prepaid plan myself. Will let you know if it’s a super terrible experience, but I’m based quite centrally.
Cheers that’d be awesome. Yeah was debating that but sadly the boost sim is still good till mid April so I dont really want to waste those couple of weeks. Hopefully they do another one next month.
I’m almost certain you can buy it now and activate it when needed (within a year according to ozbargain). The bonus data is only on future recharges, the current promotional price is once off and it’s not like they can retroactively add $100 fee when you go to activate it next month.
We must be on the same sim-slut cycle.
yeah its the “almost” thats stopping me from pulling the trigger. Suppose 150 bucks for 6 months still isnt horrible. Just a long time if the network is iffy.
Picked up my sim and transferred numbers from Boost today. All happened basically instantly.
I was categorically assured that the sim card can be bought now and activated later. The pack itself says it only expires after a year.
oh awesome. Well, may as well take a punt I guess!
hairpulling has commenced regarding internets has commenced
Been quite a journey
really earning my pay here 🫥
I’ve got my accounts, took a lot of convincing providers I’m not a troll or a bot
now to make sure I remember how to log in 😵💫
people really don’t like vpns, do they
even tho every single provider or social or what ever company advertises security as a big selling point …🙄
🔨🫖
Choose one. They both settle nerves.
is the tea pot for smashing on people’s heads?
because now they decided i’m a bot and blocked me
argh, now being straw manned on reddit …lol
i wish i had better computers and phones and internet access and didn’t have to share , that restricts me a lot
Smash the pot with the hammer I reckon. That should be cathartic.
this is the way
and here’s another gem, I’ve been a paid subscriber to reddit for well over 5 years
yesterday I got a message to switch off my ad blocker 😐
My skylight is highly tympanic
Thankyou for teaching me a new word

Now that the temp has dropped, I think every dog in Thornbury is out pounding the pavement with their owners. And the sky is rapidly blackening. Rain, please rain.
It’s decided to rain where I am with some thunder strikes. Doesn’t sound too heavy though.
The zucchini don’t look in good shape. One or two plants might be almost dead, another is trying to rally with male flowers but they might be on their way out.
The pumpkins are really responding to being given liquid fertiliser more frequently so I’ll have to keep that up. They’re getting hit by powdery mildew and whiteflies though so I’ll spray and have ordered sticky traps. I might try the homemade ones while those arrive.
I think I hurt my back lifting a full watering can weirdly :(
