So you're saying it's safe to use their DNS without worrying much about data collection? 😂 I like it.

Not exactly what you want but thought worth mentioning - Cash Passport. It's available at Canada Post locations. You can also buy single-use credit cards there. I think both require ID however so they're not suitable for anonymous purchases.

Some additional keywords on the tech behind this extended range capability:

... self-generated anode battery technology (which no longer uses traditional graphite anode material but allows elements to deposit on the current collector in metallic form, increasing volumetric energy density by 60% and gravimetric energy density by 50%)

...

Additionally, CATL's self-generated anode technology can be adapted to multiple material systems. For example, when paired with sodium-ion systems, the energy density can reach 350Wh/L; with phosphate systems, it can reach 680-780Wh/L; and with ternary systems, it can exceed 1000Wh/L.

Source

The source cites CATL, but this self-generating anode tech has apparently been studied for a while by more than CATL.

You may still get hit with the tariff if it's shipped from overseas. In such a scenario, you're the importer and likely responsible for any duties and fees.

This thread makes me so proud 🥲

Seems like they forgot to take an important lesson of FDI's success in China - take shared control of the new assets. Neoliberal indoctrination would do that to you.

The next government should pass a complementary law that requires these companies to cooperate with Canadian media (and pay according to the existing law) or exit the market. The first law was never complete.

[–] avidamoeba 1 points 6 days ago

I was with you back in the day, but they way the world and these companies have shifted over the last decade in how they operate just makes this an instant no-no for me. I wish it wasn't the case because we could have nice things if the system didn't require them to profit-maximize.

Ads first, then subscription, then subscription with ads. 🥲

This sort of thing needs to capture social media too. And I want it in Canada too.

What kind of organization is CIRA? For-profit, non-profit, etc? How does it pay the bills?

Well depends how we go over the next little while. A particular Canadian government might be more in sync with anti-China tariffs than another. 🥲

Anyone reading - get out and vote.

Labour Minister Randy Boissonnault is considering "a refusal to process in the low wage stream if the abuse and misuse does not improve," said labour ministry spokesperson Mathis Denis.

Considering eh?

It's fairly obvious why stopping a service while backing it up makes sense. Imagine backing up Immich while it's running. You start the backup, db is backed up, now image assets are being copied. That could take an hour. While the assets are being backed up, a new image is uploaded. The live database knows about it but the one you've backed up doesn't. Then your backup process reaches the new image asset and it copies it. If you restore this backup, Immich will contain an asset that isn't known by the database. In order to avoid scenarios like this, you'd stop Immich while the backup is running.

Now consider a system that can do instant snapshots like ZFS or LVM. Immich is running, you stop it, take a snapshot, then restart it. Then you backup Immich from the snapshot while Immich is running. This should reduce the downtime needed to the time it takes to do the snapshot. The state of Immich data in the snapshot should be equivalent to backing up a stopped Immich instance.

Now consider a case like above without stopping Immich while taking the snapshot. In theory the data you're backing up should represent the complete state of Immich at a point in time eliminating the possibility of divergent data between databases and assets. It would however represent the state of a live Immich instance. E.g. lock files, etc. Wouldn't restoring from such a backup be equivalent to kill -9 or pulling the cable and restarting the service? If a service can recover from a cable pull, is it reasonable to consider it should recover from restoring from a snapshot taken while live? If so, is there much point to stopping services during snapshots?

Looking at any interesting effects of propylene glycol in vaginal lubricants I stumbled upon this study. Then I found it isn't the only one pointing to hyperosmolal lubes causing damage to the epithelium either.

Ottawa quietly enacted its new Digital Services Tax last week, the same day Ontario Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy wrote to his federal counterpart asking Ottawa to pause its implementation. Bethlenfalvy joins Power & Politics to discuss his concerns about the levy on foreign tech giants operating in Canada.
