Hmmm, so, IRD claimed they could not email me at my @firesphere.dev email domain.

So I changed it to another email.

Now everytime I log in to IRD, I get a notification email I logged in on...

The old email address they said they couldn't email to.

The plot thickens

So, you're saying I can't update my address in your system, unless I allow checks Privacy Badger & uBlock Origin 13!!!! trackers?

And you're a not-for-profit health insurance?

Fuck me, I guess despite paying a fortnightly premium, I'm still the product

I've not tested much yet, but I assume that at some point, if she's far enough from old home, or moving enough, the location might properly update.

This is interesting...

So, I recently moved house (last weekend, duh), about 500 or so meters from where I used to live.

In Google Maps (I know, sorry), we (my wife and myself) have our home location set.

My wife hasn't updated it yet, neither have I.

My Android phone correctly shows me at our new home.

My wife's iPhone, insists my wife is at our old place.

Because it's a "close enough", it seems the GPS is manipulated to be set to (what used to be) home?

For those worried, whoever installed the switch board here did a good job.

The switch above the dimmer feeds in to the dimmer instead of in to the light, so easy-peasy. @ewenmcneill @oseiler I'm good enough with electrics to not kill myself doing that... Although it's going to be a tad fiddly because of the massive dimmer block.

Okay, simple really, red and white wire from/to dimmer go out, red wire that is joined with the dimmer moves to where the red to the dimmer now sits.

4 years later, it's still not fixed.

At least we're leaving it behind and we've warned the property manager that it violates healthy homes standards.

On Mastodon, can I easily do a "search for profiles on a specific instance" somehow?

How come it's not possible, or, at least incredibly hard to find, to create a rule in GMail, so that certain emails from certain individuals/companies get certain labels?

Would 3-4 hours of standing still be enough for a fridge/freezer to settle?
