    I don’t know how rude mowing at 7am on a Monday morning (in school holidays) is, but today it’s my house doing the mowing.

    Don’t blame me, they sent some drongo gardener around who apparently has a key to my gates I guess, and he was banging on my door at 7:10 while I was in the shower. Needless to say, he was ignored

    NB: they call themselves gardeners, but they really aren’t. The department hires lawn mowers for all the properties, including ours. They do an awful job and never take their clippings with them (or even put it in the compost bin, like we’d asked multiple times). They basically just come to mow the lawns poorly and then spray poison on anything that looks green. Not a hyperbole. So far, they’ve sprayed a capsicum tree, a watermelon seedling, a patch of strawberries, and a zucchini bush. They were all in the garden beds, with only a few weeds in there (nowhere near anything that was growing).

    I paid $1.80 for my first domain (which was a .lol TLD, a little obscure but worked for me). It’s now renewing at $26, though. The more well known ones are a fair bit more expensive though, and rarely have introductory sales. There are a lot of random weird domains nobody’s ever heard of that only renew for a few bucks a year on going though.

    It wouldn’t work for a Lemmy instance, unless you don’t mind changing instances every year, but you could theoretically get domains for less than a dollar for at least a few decades by constantly changing domains every time you’re due for a renewal, to make the most of the introductory discounts lots of them have
