+1 for Voyager, I'm with them also - have used them for the last 3 years and I don't think I've ever experienced an outage, speeds have consistently been great.

Fairly local peering too, so for my offsite-backup at a friends house in Dunedin where I also am based, the traffic only has to go via chch, rather than Auckland with some providers. Though I think some places like 2Degrees may have Dunedin peering. Not a problem for me anyway!

Static IP being one-off fee as it should be is a big tick. They also didn't raise my price for some reason when they recently did update pricing and I have a friends and family discount even though I don't think I'm friends or family :)

Depending on how dirty it is, I would assume at the very least cleaning the car removes things that can harm the paint (and result in corrosion later down the track) like bird poop, road grime and brake dust to name a few things.

Even just washing very infrequently, maybe a couple times a year could probably save the paint on your car and prevent premature corrosion of a vehicle!

Plus some people just like their car to be shiny I guess!

Was watching the game at the stadium tonight and what a game! Such an incredible atmosphere - just a shame that the Ferns get eliminated as a result of the game.

Well played by both sides considering no goals at all!

Correct, US vs European (and NZ in our case) R values are different. Comparison: https://www.myonlinediary.com/index.php/Insulation/US-EuropeanRValueConvertionTables

Would love to see them. Hope you keep them coming :)

Thanks, it's up there now with credit in the sidebar :)

I had to crop it ever so slightly to get Aoraki in the frame, hope that is okay!

Incredible! Don't suppose we could use it for the banner photo of the Te Wai Pounamu community? Would be cool to showcase some local NZ talent!

[-] quirq 5 points 3 years ago

We most certainly do!

That's one hell of a photo, did you take it yourself?

Pleased to be helping out!

I’ll be building out the sidebar to make things look a bit nicer here :)

I'm from Dunedin - but surprised that the Auckland community took so long to get made consider how many of you there are ;)

I don't mind the odd post like this, but if it were to become a lot of what is posted I don't really think it is that appropriate for our c/NZ - maybe if we had a separate community for random off-topic stuff it would be okay, but then, why not post it in lemmy.ml or wherever else is more relevant for this type of stuff.

Just my 2c.

Just felt like making the first post. I'm in Dunedin and it's been chilly, so of course I'm inside on lemmy.nz!

I'm in Dunedin, so would subscribe to that one too ;)
