A rich Chinese heritage is recognised and celebrated in Whau, Auckland, with a local park now carrying the name of its last private owner, Avondale Market gardener Lowe Nam.
Whau Local Board chair Kay Thomas says the decision reflects pride in the area’s diverse history.
“Chinese New Zealanders are an integral part of our story, and we are proud to honour their heritage as part of our vibrant, multicultural community.”

This passage from @debcha's "How Infrastructure works" is such a truth that often gets forgotten or ignored on the hunt for profit. It's a very familiar and recurring theme in resilience engineering texts and research. And it also rings true for me in this current trend of continuous layoffs that take more and more slack and capacity out of tech systems being maintained (in addition to the human cost) as remaining humans need to do more work in the same amount of time.

What free options are we using to protect windows computers from malware in 2024, folks?

Have a family (kids) computer to help, and I'm damned if I can get past #Bitdefender "free" setup (wants sub activated after downloading free version from https://www.bitdefender.com/solutions/free.html ?).

Thank you, @golrizghahraman, and kia ora. I don’t think most New Zealanders understand the extent of the vicious and vile abuse you’ve been subjected to for years on end as a minority woman MP who dared to speak out about human rights.

You have my deepest respect.

Kia ora, kia kaha, kia koakoa, kia mārie, kia matomato.

Sourdough loaf rescue. Left the dough too long - 6 hours at 26 degrees - after folds. The elastic bounce dissolved into porridge consistency. So into the fridge overnight, then 2 hours at room temperature before baking. The minimal oven rise shown was more than I expected. Edible, but not chewy.
Surprising changes after a month! #aquarium

@xurizaemon Have you delved into the machinations of ChatGPT? I found this explanatory overview really interesting!
