as the title says, I'm looking for the cheapest way to receive SMS codes to an NZ number when I go over. Unfortunately most cheapies are data SIM/eSIM without a phone number.

Reason: The Z EV Charging app requires an NZ mobile number for registration.

Since i'll be roaming on the other SIM, this is for inbound only - probably only a single SMS.

Does AKL or anywhere nearby have free or $2 SIM packs that you load credit onto? (Unfortunately my old NZ SIM no longer works)

A few weeks ago I went to do the tracks from near the old Solitary Restaurant down to the cascade but they had signage and the ol' chain across the entry that they were closed due to slips/damage in the rain.

Does anyone know if they've been reopened? It looked ok from the NSW parks maps, but not 100% sure and wanted to defer to local knowledge

Is there a way to restart VPN tunnels (NordVPN) via script, that would be equivalent of toggling them off and then on in the gl-inet web gui?

(my setup is a Flint2 on 4.8.3 with NordVPN tunnel for specific domains, the tunnel seems to work for a while, then fail, but work after toggling in the gui. I have watchcat configured, and the logs show it trying to reset the interface, but that doesn’t seem to fix it)

The traffic is to things like a mail server, so it isn’t an issue if the connection drops midway through an operation -they’re all small atomic operations on each connection, it’ll do it on the retry. If a dumb ‘reset every X hours’ script would work instead of watchcat that would be

Problem: My mobile network (Vodafone Australia) suddenly changed to set iOS personal hotspots to use IPv6 instead of IPv4, this breaks current builds of nordvpn (9.8.1).

Reason: as NordVPN only supports IPv4, when the nordvpn app attempts to connect to the VPN server the nordvpn app disables IPv6 on the local machine's network adapter. If you open your Mac's network settings for TCP/IP, set the IPv6 to automatic, then use nord to connect to VPN, you'll immediately see IPv6 be disabled as it tries to connect.

But the connection between computer and iOS hotspot device is using IPv6 only (external internet connection still has IPv4), so the VPN can't ever connect.

I’m trying to figure out a good solution for managing porn videos and integrating them with a viewer.

Currently I use Plex on Synology NAS, and AppleTV viewer.

The videos are a mix of full length, and some that are just scenes.

Plex with PhoenixAdult, PornDB scene and PornDB Movies match a few movies.

Stashapp with StashDB and PornDB, looks promising with pHashes, but seems to only match on scenes - and won’t pick up full movies (the PornDB matcher in Plex is able to match the same file (‘Pirates’ so it’s not an obscure Indy title).

(Likely I’ve missed something in config? They’re all pointing at the same video files/clips)

Is Stash not suited for full length movies, it seems like it w

Anyone else really unsatisfied with that “reunion”?

They hadn’t even had any time to really digest things, at first I thought it had been a week since decision day - which isn’t much, but then Brie and Byron both independently mentioned the decisions being “yesterday”.

!I need to find out why we just forgot that Emily was talking to Mike. I wanted Tom to drop the bomb, even if it was enjoyable seeing Emily squirm. I want to see if Emily interacted with Salmon Jacket at the speed dating.!<

I want it at least long enough for there to be some festering feelings of someone dumped their partner the moment they got back to actual civilisation.

I’m sad that we likely won’t get another season,

But it took a VR + Fire Country actor crossover to do it. He (Kai) popped up as “surfer impaled on a stick” n Fire Country S03E15 - so basically he spent an episode trying not to move and looking pained - is he typecast? :p

Maybe FC is really just a show about Denny’s past and this is the wake up call to gives up the dangers of surfing for a quiet mountain life… or… maybe FC is set in the future, after realises he’s boring AF in VR and escapes Lizzie to live a life of adventure as a van life big wave surfer.

How do we increase the brim size on a tree support?

I have some that eventually come loose/gets a bit dodgy, and a wider brim on the tree would keep it stuck.

Is there a way to hide the dynamic island from screen recordings or screenshots?

If I takea screenshot while using safari, notes, some regular app - the dynamic island isn't there, it is fine. But if I take a screnshot during a facetime, or a messenger video call, it shows - I don't want it to.

If I do a screenrecording, regardless of any app being active (or even no app), the recoridng includes the dynamic island and there old "slide on the island during the countdown" doesn't seem to do anything (nor could i see it mentioned on apples docs about screen recordings).

Is this just something they took out of ios 18? do I just not know the secret handshake?

looking for someone's old and unused 1pw 7 licence (Mac)

I can't make the jump to 8 yet, maybe it's a mental block. I'm on v6 still, it wasn't an issue until too late. Now I'm looking at the upgrade from Monterey to Sonoma on mac and it sounds like v6 won't work but v7 will.

Anyone with a v7 llicence looking for a new home, that they're willing/able to sell?
