Stratford-revered glockenspiel stops working (www.rnz.co.nz)

The Stratford-revered glockenspiel has stood proud in the main street, Broadway, since it officially opened in 1996, but it had stopped working over the weekend.

Stratford District deputy mayor Min McKay said it was a large tourist attraction.

She did not know the reason why it had stopped but hoped an engineer would check it on Tuesday.

Edit: If you're reading from All, this is Stratford in New Zealand, it's named after Stratford upon Avon but it's not the same place 🙂

They have lenses, which is a way of searching under specific categories (For example, "Recipes" or "Programming"). But this is kinda the opposite, it's not grouping results by category but rather filtering by category.

You could check out searxng as well. I ran it on a server but it's the kind of thing you could probably run locally on your laptop (and perhaps that would be best, so you can always access it without running a service for the world). I haven't tried it, but you could probably do it using Docker Desktop. It should all be pretty light weight and run on pretty much anything. Could be a fun project!

Thanks, I will bookmark that!

I'm learning so much it stuff by lurking around here! You guys are single handedly catching me up to this decade.

Haha I learn lots here too! The self-hosted communities are about the only niche thing that is mainstream here!

You also teach me about slugs and stuff 😆

Ha ha that's right I forgot about your tiger slug! Did that work out for you as a pet or did it roam away?

Still there, last I checked. Doesn't seem to be getting any bigger, though. I feel a little not like the lady in the Roald Dahl book Esio Trot thinking her tortoise is growing too slow.
