<p>I want to be the best ancestor I can be.<br />An <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/otrovert" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>otrovert</span></a>. I see systems everywhere and the connectedness of everything. I&#39;m fascinated by them, especially the systems of the natural world and our connections with it. This is both interesting and scary. 
<br />Not qualified to call myself an expert in anything, but I like to think I know stuff.

    There is always a solution! This is our #ev charging at Springs Junction in Aotearoa /New Zealand. This is a tiny community in the foothills of the Southern Alps. The electricity grid here can’t support a fast charger. Those big blue boxes are the solution. They are battery packs made up of #repurposed Nissan Leaf batteries that are no longer fit for use in EVs. The battery packs are recharged overnight, using what electricity the grid can sustain. #reuse #recycle #sustainability

    @crimsonbutterfly Lovely shot! Is that meant to be &amp;quot;pink&amp;quot;? Not many of the punks I know would wear those colours...🙂

    What&amp;#39;s up with #TradeMe ? I can no longer log in on my desktop or my laptop (linux Mint on Firefox browser), with or without my VPN. The log-in pop-up comes up, but I get &amp;quot;oops! We couldn&amp;#39;t log you in. Please try again&amp;quot; ..and that&amp;#39;s it. I&amp;#39;m wondering if it&amp;#39;s to do with their security bot. Once this has happened, several other sites become unavailable to me as well. Am I being flagged as malicious? Technically, I&amp;#39;m BOT malicious,...

    Is anyone out there an #apple #ipod expert? I have an iPod Nano 7th gen that I am going to sell. It doesn&amp;#39;t appear anywhere in my current Apple account as a registered device, but it has a lot of old songs I would have synced with iTunes years ago. If I sell it, will the new owner be able to use it?

    Why are these groups not designated terrorist organisations? https://www.wired.com/story/a-white-supremacist-youth-group-helped-orchestrate-the-belfast-riots/?utm_brand=wired&amp;amp;utm_mailing=WIR_Daily_061326&amp;amp;bxid=5d4d1090f543e661b82a29d2&amp;amp;cndid=58082325&amp;amp;hasha=475cc83127c6cb089c5ec98f2fe6463d&amp;amp;hashc=d1e4aa477d5b633f735862fe7d2f9e31e411d4b0692296df107d0c9167f66b09&amp;amp;esrc=MARTECH_ORDERFORM I’m sure a ( let’s say) Muslim or POC group would have been by now. #...

    Interesting and annoying. Yesterday, #bluesky required me to verify my age because “my region” had regulations requiring that the age of users be verified. This annoyed me, because Aotearoa New Zealand has no age verification requirements at this stage. Now this morning I opened BS to be told it was verifying my age on its servers…. And nothing happened. I’m locked out of Bluesky. My real annoyance is that these lazy tech providers keep lumping us in with Australia (I’m assuming). FYI, world,...

    Another terrible morning at Kaikōura, Aotearoa/New Zealand. I always forget how beautiful this place is. The spot I took this is two minutes from where my ev is charging

    I am fed up with the #apple keyboard on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. Are there any good alternatives that aren&amp;#39;t #privacy nightmares? I have used Gboard in the past and liked it, but, well, ...#Google. I&amp;#39;ve also used Swiftkey, but again... #Microsoft

    Is there some sort of major Internet issue going on here in Aotearoa at the moment? Hello? Hello?

    Is anyone else out there fed up with the new TVNZ+ app? It’s broken on our Apple TV box. Works on our TV set (WebOS), but only in a very flakey way. We also get strange momentary dips in sound volume quite frequently. #tvnz
