The flag is basically complete, aside from art and the rainbow checkerboard. Thank you to everyone who helped!

Special thanks to @veroxii@lemmy.world, @emperor@feddit.uk , and @ianbkulin@c.im who did a very large amount of the flag.

Here are most of the other people that helped. Sorry if i missed anyone, i can't check every pixel.

Hello! Please don't damage other stuff on the aussie flag unless they are destructive, and if they are try to reach agreement.

The germans have agreed to take the top left until the stem of the union jack and NOT more, don't damage it

There is some pixel art, go behind it.

Arsenal will make their logo bottom right, it will not cover any stars.

there will likely be more, please allow it. we can't cover everything with a flag, it blocks others from using the canvas

This time the flag will be much smaller than last time so it actually gets completed, only 200 pixels wide instead of 300. The canvas this year is also 1/4 the size of last years, 500 x 500 instead of 1000 x 1000.

The template link that will show what needs to be drawn over the canvas is here. Make sure to lower template opacity by over 50% so you can see what is currently drawn.

I don't see anyone falling for this either, if they were going to they would already have edge installed.

I saw this site that tells you if instances have blocked threads.net yet and noticed some instances listed as fedipact with a heart instead of blocked/federated/ limited (also what does limited mean)

Meta threads will open federation to the fediverse soon, and while this is mainly to mastodon it will still affect lemmy. They are acting like they won't be evil, but let's be real this is Facebook when have they ever done that.

This article which has been trending lately explains some of the issues. https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

This comment here is a simple analogy if you can't be bothered reading the article. https://lemmy.ca/comment/5702922

@lodion@aussie.zone

I want to make a plex nas so I don't have to deal with Netflix and streaming services, here are some questions I have.

1. What NAS should I get? I've heard Qnap is good, but I want to know around what nas I should get

2. Is plex somewhat simple to setup and is there other software I should look at?

3. Is there anything else I should know?

Edit: I ended up using an old laptop and running a file share from it then installing kodi on the other devices and using it as a storage point.

500x500 size, cos last canvas was too big

Last for longer, maybe 2weeks or more

Early 2024, maybe February -march or April

Announced early- like a week in advance for groups to form

@grant@toast.ooo

This would be a really nice feature

we are making an Australian flag in the bottom right corner, help if you want.
