Aotearoa / New Zealand

I've been away for Christmas, in New Plymouth and later to my in-laws. I didn't take my aeropress with me because I was trying to save space, and regretted it. I straight up stopped drinking coffee, happy to be home now, except my coffee is a bit old and lacks flavour. It was a bit disappointing, but still better than instant or the sachet ones.

I'm still on leave, so today I'm been trying to get a test version of Lemmy set up again in preparation for the upgrade to 0.19.8. Then I accidentally restored the lemmy backup over my personal production server - luckily it only overwrote things in common (basically the reverse proxy and backup scripts - which use the same file structure but have quite different setups). I then went to restore from my backup for that and realised it hasn't run since before Christmas, possibly related to when that PC motherboard died.

Luckily these things don't change that much so I have restored the appropriate files from the backup, but oh boy it's been quite the morning.

And on top of all this, I worked out Cloudflare has a 100MB file upload limit, so I decided to put one of my sites back on a direct port forwarded setup. Turns out my ISP moved everyone to CGNAT without telling us, which I worked out after too much time wondering why it wasn't working when I was sure I had it right. New router since last time I did this so I thought I was just doing it wrong until I thought to check the WAN IP. A quick search and I found others complaining about it, which they had not managed to convince the ISP to give them a public IP so not too much chance for me. Luckily I had already decided to move to a different ISP and had already started the process, but I did not check for this any it seems they are just all reselling the same Devoli connection 😢. Now I gotta see if I can talk my way out of a 12 month contract.
