Yeah I've no idea what the teeth capacity on this is, changing a chainring is likely easier and less risky.

They've just fallen as they fell in most places but perhaps more.

Right but during previous court challenges of multiple laws Ford would bombast about notwithstanding pretty much right off the bat. I expected some bullshit like that again.

Makes sense. We're way too tightly hitched to the clown truck down south.

Welcome to .. everyone's world who's bothered to learn how the system works. Many don't get this far. It's a bit hard to accept at first but it's what we have to work with. That's why it's important to understand all the different opportunities to affect change. For example keeping track of different parties' leadership elections and voting in those. Or pestering your MP for what you want to see happen, like some folks here pester them for electoral reform. The same goes with provincial parties and elections. And municipal elections. And getting involved in any of those campaigns. And so on.

“we will continue with the design work necessary to begin removals as soon as possible should the decision uphold the legislation.”

What is this, no plans to go to the supreme court, no notwithstanding clause? Is this the same Ford government? Or was this just a publicity stunt to get through the election. 🥲

I'm afraid there's a uncomfortably high chance of this.

Don't be torn, have two stat voting days. If you elect me a PM I'll make it 3. I'll even throw in PR reform.

Just watch the surge being a wave to elect an expansionist collaborator.

I hope not but it's not nearly as improbable as I'd like.

Perhaps more to do with this. Google no longer has legal problems in the US under Trump.

These outlier polls give me the heebijeebies. Some friends are very calm looking at the "nicer" polls. I can't shake the feeling that they're missing some undercurrent.

For the ones who find ourselves in the second slide of this strip.

Tried it on my Sette and it does indeed change the extraction time significantly. I'll do a few more controlled tests tomorrow and submit a data point in James'es survey.

Does such a thing exist? A coop cloud provider? A unonized cloud provider? An ethical cloud provider? A good guy cloud provider?

 

An extended family member is looking for a NAS solution. I run a completely DIY solution since I'm a knowledgeable Linux user. They're not. I'm trying to figure out what's available and what to recommend. Here's what I have so far:

  • TrueNAS SCALE (Debian based, UI)
  • OpenMediaVault (Debian based, UI)
  • Synology (??, UI)
  • QNAP (??, UI)

I think that the proprietary solutions like Synology and QNAP are less desirable due to unknown longevity of the companies and their willingness to support their products with software updates. Am I wrong?

I have no idea what's better between TrueNAS and OMV. I know Debian so I'm confident I can force either to listen via terminal if I have to.

What do you use? Which one of the list do you prefer? Any other Linux-based additions to the list?

Would it be possible to implement RCS in Signal, if Google/Apple allow access to their RCS cloud infrastructure? Has anyone heard of speculative plans for that?

 

60% in 20 hours with 6 hours of screen-on time. Not bad. I expected lowe screen-off power consumption. Instead, it looks like the screen-on power consumption is lower than my expectation.

 

There's an update step that shows "Optimizing apps" during installing a system update normally. It takes a while.

  • What does it do?
  • Is this step skipped when flashing a full OTA via adb sideload?
  • Is there any difference in regards to the effect of "Optimizing apps" between the regular system update process and full OTA flashing?

If your GNOME Shell went FUBAR and you can't reach a terminal from it to issue ~~gnome-shell --replace~~(apparently this is broken since 3.30), and Alt+F2 doesn't work, you can use the following in another TTY or via SSH:

killall -3 gnome-shell

That'll be all.
