Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I'm at Matauri Bay Campsite for the week, yesterday I made the 11.5 hour drive from the hutt Valley to here, and today we went "rock gardening", which is when you hug the coast and play amongst the rocks, paddling through narrow channels, and generally moseying around.

Tomorrow I aim to get over to the Cavalli islands, which is the main purpose of the trip.

I took one of the kids to the Island Bay Marine Education Centre today, which is always a hit, even if it takes a while for them to get brave enough to start touching things in the touch pool.

I've also been experimenting with setting up an automod. This is mostly a spam thing, the same domains and themes come up a lot and this should help catch things before they get seen at all. We should also be able to do stuff like automatic registration approvals if certain answers are given.

The automod is the same one that lemmings.world uses, I've been getting personal help to implement it since the code is published but not documented. Today I've put it in production after spending the last week or so getting it set up in my test instance.

I failed at migrating my instance to a new host and had to roll back

I hope things come right or I may have to move to lemmy.nz full time

Well it looks like it may have recovered.
