Hi everyone,

I'm helping a friend create an offline backup of her Proton Drive, which contains roughly 2,000 photos and videos. We attempted to download the files using the Firefox browser, but the process is extremely slow and frequently times out or cancels mid-download.

Given the file count and size, is there a more robust, faster, or reliable method to accomplish this? I'm open to using command-line tools, dedicated sync clients, or any other workaround that handles large batches better than the web interface.

Any advice or tool recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I went to The Mad Butcher in Porirua yesterday and bought some beef mince. One pack was labelled “Steak Mince” and cost about $25 for 1.4kg. Right next to it was regular “Beef Mince” for around $15 for only 500g, so the steak mince seemed like a much better deal.

When I got home and opened it, it had a slightly sour smell. I checked the best-before date and realised it was expiring that same day. Another time I bought lamb chops from there and they were really strange cuts — almost all fat with barely any edible meat.

Now I’m starting to wonder whether “steak mince” is actually lower-grade meat more suited for dog food rather than the normal quality beef mince you’d expect from a butcher.

What’s everyone’s opinion on The Mad Butcher? To me, the quality just seems well below the standard of other butchers.

Hello everyone,

I work in IT and my role is being disestablished so I will be loosing my job. I guess im posting here to get my feelings out on paper. I dont have any savings besides KiwiSaver and I will be forced to go onto WINZ untill I find another job and I am feeling embarrassed about it.

Thats all.

Thankyou
