looks like Microsoft (Azure/m365/etc) has shit the bed in NZ (may be ISP dependant)

And here is another good example of why you shouldnt roll your own crypto (as well as the flawed thinking that keeping stuff closed source will stop it being reverse engineered), ham radio edition. https://sprocketfox.io/xssfox/2024/07/24/superflawed/

Transpower now disconnect north island power circuits due to the geomagnetic storm: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/516558/transpower-disconnects-north-island-power-assets-due-to-solar-storm (it disconnected some in the south island earlier this morning)

Welp. . The overall effectiveness of previous infection in preventing reinfection with JN.1 was estimated at only 1.8% (95% CI: -9.3-12.6%). https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.02.22.24303193v1

Looks like NZ is getting the “new” XBB covid vax from the 7th of march, so if you can I hold off till then and get the “updated” one. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/509854/covid-19-vaccine-that-targets-new-strains-available-next-month

@npub1trd…ussx I don't see how attempting to secure the open source (or closed source) supply chain is enshitification, if anything it is the opposite.
If you can figure out how to use git or github, you can figure out how to use TOTP or use passkeys. (Which don't require the github app)

hmm, https://poops.nz updated. Covid poop levels still way higher than they were back in October and earlier and Pirola/BA.2.86/JN.1 over 50% at the 24th of Dec 2023 measure.. Guessing it's taken over by now..

@npub1trd…ussx what, like 4 million records? Times say 1KB per record max, 4GB tops? (Massive assumptions there)

2023-08-18 03:40:27

Welp, looks like the NZ MOH turned off the NZ Covid tracer app bluetooth notification/uploads on Tuesday as well..
3rd column is codes uploaded, 4th is notifications sent. 49 was the last send on the 14th (UTC).. then 0 since then.
