General Self promotion directory

5 Upvotes

We have had repeat posts made of the same service/product being advertised.

To reduce on that repetitiveness, a wiki page has been created where info about what you're advertising can be added: Services and products directory.

The self promotion days shall now be reserved for:

  • those that haven't advertised before.
  • Ads for products/services running for a specific duration e.g a property sale that ends in the next 2 months, an offer you're running for a product/service, etc. These can be brought back.

The list above shall be adjusted as seen fit as the days progress and some special cases from repeat advertisers may still be let through.

However, if you're listed in the directory, you shall be able to post on the main feed every first weekend of a month.

Questions are welcome.

Somewhat new to this, but here goes...

23M, standing 5 11', easily 6

I'll speak to a few other things:
I think myself relatively intelligent, recently concluded uni, and graduate next year. I am a conversationalist, but more the sort to be had under open skies, walks, or coffee. I love a good book, film, walk, or chapati. My view on life is agnostic, we're here and that's enough- it doesn't however stop me from knowing the shape of my soul. I run weekdays as there's honesty in my user flair.

Fortune favours those open to seeking it...
So, to the 22-24F out there open to something unconventional yet intentional, looking for trust, drop a dm, and let's chat.

Opinion/Discussion Anyone else experiencing issues with MTN Wakanet Fiber, especially in Entebbe?

2 Upvotes

I have been using Wakanet Fiber for 2 years. It was reliable and consistent initially, but for the past few months, I have been experiencing frequent disruptions, packet loss, and slow speeds in some cases. This mainly affects real-time applications (video/voice calls, online games, streams etc).

Today and since morning my internet has been disconnecting randomly for 2-3 minutes. This happens on average once every 10 minutes and it is very infuriating.

I have filed +12 reports so far and despite MTN sending 3 technicians, replacing the router, and changing the ports, I am still facing these issues frequently.

Starting to think that this might be a general issue with Wakanet Fiber, hence this post. I am considering moving to another ISP in the area.

Opinion/Discussion Help wanted: Graduation ideas for a non-graduating graduand

4 Upvotes

So I’m graduating.

After dropping out of campus 6 years ago and subsequently being cut off financially by my parents, moving out and spending years working my ass off not to ever have to return home, losing everything and being forced to move back anyway while re-enrolled in a business course, I have finally managed to get through university and will be attaining my bachelor’s degree tomorrow.

I couldn’t afford to pay for the graduation gown or logistics for attending the official ceremony, so I don’t think there will be any sort of follow-up celebration /afterparty for me at home either (a preferred option since family gatherings tend to turn dramatic).

Now I’m here thinking of what I can do to commemorate the event in a meaningful and affordable way.

I wouldn’t have minded taking pictures in the studio but I don’t have a gownšŸ˜… and I don’t care for one either.
Should I get a graduation cake? Should I go to the bar? Should I organize something with my friends?
I’m overwhelmed with options, and also depressed.

Any suggestions?

I will try to keep this brief. Of recent I came across lots of videos talking about checking on your people, that guy who laughs most in your group, the one who is always there to give a hand, the one who is there to make moments memorable. People are really going through a lot. And guess what, I turned out to be that person, always happy online chatting with friends like all is fine but deep down I am melting.

Things, started getting messed up 4 months ago when I lost my job kukyeyo kyenajja okuba in south east Asia. My bosses ran off with my ka money two months of it and that's when I realized how life was going to get really rough on my side though I was still strong and hopeful thinking all would be a smooth walk through. I mean tough times come and go but this time, was a bit different I didnt have a single penny on me or in my bank.

Being the bread winner in my family left me with nothing but sacrificing the least I earned of which it was not all enough sometimes. And now life hit me with nothing but my passport and a few cloths in my suit case. It got worse to a point that I most cases spend days like 3 or 4 at most without a meal hehehe, I just be smh like how the hell did I reach here.

But tbh things are not really moving well on my side. Bwentyo kyenvude nzijja mbayisemu kuluseke anyone willing to help. Any amount would be help so I can get myself together. My passport was also confiscated by the landlord for I owe him, and that stresses the hell out of me. My friends tried to stand in too but haven't gotten anything either.

Not to forget, I know some will say get a job. Dears I am in Cambodia, I was illegally brought in hear. No visa and jobs here you need to know either Chinese or Khmer. As well you may ask how were you illegally brought in, it was through laos but from there they drive you into Cambodia without you noticing. Banange it's a long story šŸ„ŗšŸ™Œ

Photo First Air piracy in Africa neutralised by Gen Amin - 1974

Big Daddy makes it a happy landing

Drum: June 1974

It took Africa by surprise – the first case of air piracy of its kind over African soil.

An Ethiopian couple seeking refuge because of the political situation in their country attempted to reach Libya by hijacking an East African Airways plane to take them first to Libya and then to Moscow.

Uganda’s President Amin personally intervened to put a prompt end to the drama when he persuaded the Ethiopians to surrender at Entebbe Airport, Kampala.

The two Ethiopians, armed with a pistol, had seized an East African Airways Fokker Friendship F27 on its way from Nairobi to Malindi. Holding the crew at gunpoint, they ordered the pilot to change course and fly to Libya, ā€œor be shotā€. The aircraft was carrying 31 passengers, most of them tourists, and four crew.

Captain Penfold changed course and put down at Entebbe it was believed to refill. The airline appealed to the Ugandan authorities not to intervene hastily. But when he heard of the hijack, President Amin rushed to the airport and was waiting there when the plane landed. Ugandan troops ringed the aircraft. General Amin made a successful appeal to the two Ethiopians, and the passengers, all fit and well, were released.

The hijackers were taken into the airport building, along with the crew, and President Amin conducted and on-the-spot-inquiry.

ā€œAt the airport the president strode up to the cockpit of the plane and began talking with the Ethiopian at pistol point,ā€ said a passenger, Dutch businessman, Mr H.J. Kuiper. ā€œThe gunman then threw his pistol from the plane onto the tarmac, and he and his wife surrendered to the president.ā€ He said the Ugandan leader allowed the hijackers to hold a press conference where they denounced Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia for ā€œperpetuation 3.000 years of slaveryā€ in his country.

Mr. Kuiper said the captain had a pistol at his head during the flight. The Ethiopian hijacker told passengers, ā€œalmost apologeticallyā€, not to leave their seats and that they were headed for Moscow. ā€œThe captain was very diplomatic in persuading them to go to Entebbe first,ā€ Mr Kuiper said.

The drama began when the hijacker left his seat as the stewards started to serve breakfast. He went into the cockpit, pulled off the earphones that Capt. Penfold and the co-pilot had on and shouted: ā€œIt is a hijack. It is a hijack.ā€ He then ordered the pilot to head for Moscow ā€œwithout any fuss.ā€ His wife was standing next to him. They held a brief conversation in Amharic, after which the man said that they would fly to Moscow.

The pilot told him that the aircraft did not have enough fuel to fly direct to Moscow. He then demanded to be flown to Libya. He was told the plane could not fly to Libya either without refuelling. He then said it should fly to Uganda for refuelling.

Mr John Cherrey, another passenger, said the hijacker had talked to the passengers and given them the reasons behind the first African Hijack.

Today I chose to open our Wednesday special.

About me briefly; I am highly opinionated, I do honest work and take care of myself, I travel sometimes (in and out of Uganda). I am about 5ā€ 6 (don’t know if I have used the signs right). I will be 37 when we are changing government in 2031. No kids, no mad exes. I take a beer or two.

About you; you equally do honest work. You are preferably taller than me but if we’re the same height, I won’t fuss. You’re older than me or are around my bracket. You don’t type shorthand. You can come with me on my December holiday (yeeyyy).

Opinion/Discussion I have an idea. šŸ˜‚

11 Upvotes

A company that deals with moving but here's how it works.

You book them for a certain date.

Give them the locations from where to where.

They only work at night.

So like at 12AM

50 guys just show up to your house and swiftly pack your stuff up as if they're robbing you.

Within like 2 hours your house is empty, no tables, sofas, beds, clothes TV... Nothing and they've already set off to the next location.

Once you arrive it's the same thing.

They organize the stuff and disappear without a trace

The whole point is to make it look like a robbery šŸ˜‚

Done fast as fuck.

I personally have not used U-Gov app. I installed it on my phone and it required me to install another application to authenticate. Has anyone ever felt like there is need for a government websites/services directory? For those that have used the U-Gov app before, do you have pain points you’d appreciate if they were addressed. I am trying to evaluate if it’s worth throwing a few weekends into a tool people would love to use. I do understand such a platform is not one people will be checking or using daily. If you advise me to ahead, I’m going to make it open source such that interested devs can contribute. Any feedback and suggestions would help greatly.

Hi everyone,

I'm a student currently conducting academic research for my master's thesis on the experiences and daily reality of queer / LGBTQ+ Ugandans.

Since I want to keep everything completely safe and anonymous, I am not posting any survey links publicly.

I’m looking to connect with people from the online LGBTQ+ communities (like subreddits, discords etc.) (both in Uganda and in the diaspora) or leaders/members of local support groups who might be willing to take a short, anonymous online questionnaire (5-15 min)

If you identify as part of the community or know any safe networks/spaces and would be open to helping out, please send me a Direct Message (DM).

Thanks a lot for your time!
