Two questions:
1. do you post to your site and it auto posted to mastodon?
2. How’s the book? I’ve not read Extracted or any of RR Haywood for that matter.

Not a lot to tell yet, filled 5 of the 12 with old 4TB drives I had around. Will fill 6 more with 8TB once the synology is decommissioned. I am horribly slow at working on this, but it is fun

This week, I am hoping to install rails for the TrueNAS. A 12 bay hot swap box that is much deeper than I originally thought it was. No I didn’t read the specs well enough, my bad.

This is really bad for wyzecam owners. Read the thread for ways to migrate the firmware. Be sure to tell wyzecam what you think.

If the image is AI generated, readers assume there’s a good chance the article is said generated. Not worth reading. I am one of those. Right or not, I tend to skip articles with AI generated images.

Adonis grocers has it Montreal supposedly. Not sure how wide spread that store is.

Was thrilled to be able to buy today, blueberries, strawberries and cherries, all from Canada. Was sad they had no truly Canadian ketchup or mustard. Just giant Heinz and French’s bottles with large maple leaf’s on them. Yes, made in Canada by a USA company. Tonight we are having blueberries, strawberries and cherries on our 100% Canadian beef burgers.

We occasionally have people come up and say, that one in your basket is american, this one isn’t. We appreciate it everytime. The labelling can be confusing at times.

was joking, but it will be interesting to see how long before hitting 2 trillion. And what percentage will be AI generated stuff :( I don’t know much about how they archive sites, so no idea if they have protection against this, or if they just back it all up.

Oh, stone wall Saturday? Here’s my stone wall, almost 200 years old this one, from somewhere between 1825-1845 in southern Quebec.

My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I vaguely recall ours didn’t bloom for the first couple of years. Year one was a struggle, year two saw 4 or 5 plants, year three saw around 20 plants all blooming. This year we have I think over 50 all blooming. Will try to get a photo at some point. You’ll have more than you’ll know what to do with next year :)

I’ve been using Biore UV Aqua, which I think is decent and maybe mineral based? I really have no clue. Can’t tell when it’s on, 50SPF. Of course, today in the eastern townships of Quebec while out clearing stones and old logs, I don’t have it with me. Going to give the one your trying a try next. Thanks for the recommend.

Don’t think for a second that trump is any different than he was before he showed up at the G7 with his “friendship” (media’s term for it).
“The G7 used to be the G8. Barack Obama and a person named Trudeau didn’t want to have Russia in,” Trump said.
He’s just as arrogant and rude as fuck towards Canada as he ever was.

I have passed along your message. He has deployed to a location in BC on a 4 person “initial crew”. The least dangerous. Apparently there are 4 types of crews: initial attack crews, responsible for putting out 94% of new fires, unit crews made up of 20 person teams, specialized in sustained attack ops. Rapattack crews, 3 person initial attack crews come in by rappelling from helicopters, and parattack initial crews, small teams that parachute from choppers. https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/safety/wildfire-status/wildfire-response/wildfire-personnel-and-response-tools/wildfire-crews

Part of my nephews BC forest fire fighter crew just shipped out to Ontario. His first year on the job, something he has been working towards for a couple of years now. Where will he go first? SK, MB, AB? One thing is for certain, he’s going to be busy this year.

The Guardian has redesigned their homepage. Previous the Climate Change section was roughly have way down the page in a section of its own. It is now more than half way down the page, tucked under the "More News" section. Still below Opinion and Sports sections.
Good thing the media takes climate change seriously.

Take a look at the list @npub1gyh…dgjd is making:
https://codeberg.org/Taffer/canadian-alternatives
Of the ones listed, I've used FullHost and Hover. Hover is owned by TuCows and USA/Canadian. I've heard good things about NamesPro. All of those listed should be ICANN registrars and safe to use. [@ferricoxide](https://evil.social/@ferricoxide ) most of not all should be accessible from the USA also. You won't be able to get a .CA unless you have a Canadain presence, but you can still move your other domains over.

Anyone know if universities and research institutes in Canada are doing this as well?

This is an excellent thread on what is happening. Please share with your American friends colleagues and even with your enemies. We need to raise awareness online and in the streets.

To all fellow Canadian developers. Slap a Canadian flag on your website. Make it easy for people to know you are Canadian. I’ll be doing this later today.

If you LOVE nacho chips and dip as much as I do, check out https://www.theprettyuglycompany.com Not only Canadian, they are using ugly food that stores don't want. The trick is figuring out where to buy them, but perhaps that will get easier in the coming weeks and months.

Leaseweb, in Quebec. Was iWeb which was Quebec owned until the Dutch guys bought it out. Good internet connection and a home lab? WHC is also Quebec owned. That is all I know so far about Canada owned providers. Leaving DO myself it being a USA company.

I’m tired just reading the first couple of entries. You’ve done so much, amazingly positive to see this. As now owner of 3.5 acres off our once family farm in the country side, we are currently only dreaming of digging into fixing it all up. You’re inspiring, thank you.

IMO, UPS are crooks when it comes to duty. They frequently charged me close to the value for duty and handling. Never seem to have that issue with USPS. If a company insists on using UPS to deliver an item from the US, I either ship it to a states side parcel service, our I cancel the order, letting the seller know why.

macOS user for around 49 years, yikes! Current macOS hasn’t really needed anti virus or anti malware software. Personally I’ve never used it on OS X. We used to use it in service bureaus back with the IIfx era of machine, and had a few hits.
If a friend asked me, I’d say no need. For you, I can only say what I’ve said, and suggest you do what makes you feel comfortable.
Too vague? 🤪

“All YubiKeys running firmware prior to version 5.7—which was released in May and replaces the Infineon cryptolibrary with a custom one—are vulnerable.”
Check which firmware you have installed.

Anyone have experience with flatbed scanners? Looking for something above entry level, 11x17 capable, and has some speed to it. As a former high end drum scanner operator, I've been very spoiled in my lifetime. My little Epson v350 doesn’t cut it anymore. As the accidentally appointed family #genealogist, I am tasked routinely with scanning old photos and photo albums, some dating back to the late 1800s.
Looking for a faster better flatbed scanner.
