This year the flag will be the same size as last years as we nearly finished it last year. It has a small aboriginal flag on it, a large bluey and the text aussie.zone in the bottom right.

Here is the template for this year: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=90&y=78&zoom=4&tu=https%3A%2F%2Faussie.zone%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F93987250-cd08-4e21-9b00-dbd13669ffe4.png&tw=200&tx=0&ty=0&ts=ONE_TO_ONE

Before using it you will have to lower the transparency in canvas settings (and you'll have to wait for canvas to start :) )

We also have a matrix chat for the flag: #australiacanvas:matrix.org

Please allow others to place art on the flag and don't damage it unless it is another countries flag, covers the stars, union jack, bluey, or other important parts of the flag.

Does anyone want to help run the aussie flag on canvas this year (starting July 12th)? I have limted time right now and this year we are going to add aussie pixel art to the flag.

For people who want to make pixel art

Feel free to make or find some aussie pixel art and reply, note that the whole flag is 200x100 and the union jack and stars take up a lot of space so it shouldn't be massive.

Help wanted with adding the art to the flag

If someone could work on taking the art below and in the replies and placing them on the flag that would be great. If you want to, reply below so we don't duplicate work and have multiple people doing it. Ensure that the pixel art does not cover the stars or union jack.

Here is the base image for the flag: which is 200x100 pixels.

Here is last years template if you want to see it. I will make a new template this year with the pixel art and flag at 200px by 100px.

Current pixel art

Bluey and bingo pixel art: https://aussie.zone/post/11696592/10403326 and https://diycandy.com/bluey-perler-beads/ (see happy bluey and happy bingo)

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

Special thanks to @[email protected], @[email protected] , and @[email protected] 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

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

Do you have to have a guarantee to be listed? Can you have more than one?

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)

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.

There's also some mods on random GitHub repos aswell, but be careful with both thunder store and GitHub mods.
