Sowing the seeds of doubt in the minds of Canadians so we don’t freak out as much when the next conservative federal government axes CBC in the first 60 days of office.

Can’t have a flawed news system that actually tells the truth! How does that help the billionaires?

I’m glad you have the opportunity to hit the reset button like that. It sounds like you have a positive look ahead for the change, which is half the battle in my opinion.

It might take some time to feel like you fit in better with your new group, but the extra effort is worth it ten fold if you do find your close friend group there.

Most of the best friendships I ever had started off a bit Rocky. And usually were not at all what I expected. Come to think of it, things are rarely what I expect.

Best of luck!

So glad I migrated from bitnami late last year. I can’t even remember exactly why, other than just dumb luck maybe?

Also, most of their offerings were more geared for larger setups if I remember correctly.

Linuxserver.io has a lot of what I use now. The rest are self updating game servers, so I think I’m good.

Big shocker that a corporately backed open source provider suddenly wants to capitalize!!! J/k obvs….

My wife and I (mostly her) started some simpler growing this summer. We are both new at it.

Just basically a single raised garden with potatoes and carrots, a small compost bin and a little garden greenhouse.

I don’t think either of us were really expecting it to feel so rewarding to harvest food that we grew. It’s the most excited I have seen her about something since the kids were born. We are hoping to upscale a bit more next year with what we have learned so far.

Food forest concept isn’t something I have heard of, but I’ll definitely dig into it, so thanks for that!

I never really got the excitement as a kid. Why were adults so happy for another mouth to feed? Diapers to change?

Then I became an uncle and it made a lot more sense. Kids are hilarious. Early congrats for March!

Hard to say when for either. I can see fallout getting a serious rush put on it to try and catch the popularity wave of the show.

Hopefully that doesn’t encourage too much refurbished content from the older games though.

Your life reads like it is the good kind of busy. Not the corporate phone ringing all the time kind, but the wholesome living it up kind. Love it!

That’s quite a find!

Depression is no joke. A psychiatrist once told me that everyone has bad days, but if you have more than 1 a week on average, you should see somebody.

I’m glad your friends are coming. It sounds like an awesome time.

These things are favourites of mine as well, though I find my family life conflicts a lot with my projects. Not in a bad way, just that there is only so much time in a day.

I really look forward to the selfh.st newsletter each week.

Way to go! I tried writing my own music a few times and lost it half way through. It is much harder to do than I originally thought.

I read a few stories of artists way back in the day that made legendary songs in like a day or less and somehow thought that meant I could too.

Getting to an actual album is quite an accomplishment to achieve and I hope it does as well as you hope it does!

It will be released in tandem with the next tes game and half-life 3!

I understand what you mean by excited vs. Interested.

Each time I had gotten disappointed by things in the distant past, I sort of withdrew a little more from excitement bit by bit until the world was kinda grey.

Please be careful with that feeling.

It can go from being resistant to excitement, to feeling undeserving of it without even really noticing of the change. I hope you find things to be genuinely excited for soon.

On a lighter note, I’m going to have to checkout peacemaker I guess!

“I’m so sorry for your loss”

“Murderer!!!”

My hope is that the ai bubble/trend might have a silver lining overall.

I’m hoping that people start realizing that it is often confidently incorrect. That while it makes some tasks faster, a person will still need to vet the answers.

Here’s the stretch. My hope is that by questioning and researching to verify the answers ai is giving them, people start applying this same skepticism to their daily lives to help filter out all the noise and false information that is getting shoved down their throats every minute of every day.

So that the populace in general can become more resistant to the propaganda. AI would effectively be a vaccine to boost our herd immunity to BS.

Like I said. It’s a hope.

I concur. Podman is superior in my opinion. It’s more secure by default (rootless containers) and can do pretty much everything docker can do naively (you can literally alias docker to podman in your shell and it will work)

It’s not as easy to find info on some of the systemd specific stuff (Quadlets), but once you figure that out, it’s pretty amazing.

I ended up making up my own scripts to allow me to create new system users, pre-loaded with aliases and shortcut functions to make my life easier ( automatic quadlet container file generation, pre-set network rules, etc), but it is not required.

All the info is there, but starting out it can be a bit overwhelming.

My containers are pretty much self sufficient now. I just intervene when something needs major updating or config changes

It used to smell like fresh baked bread and fresh ground coffee when you walked in.

Their pastries, donuts and buns were fresh baked in house. It was an experience to see a tray of steaming bread rolls coming out of the back while you were waiting for your order.

They switched their ethically sourced coffee bean supplier back when they sold out. If I remember correctly, McDonalds then swooped in and took over the supply contracts, so suddenly McDs had the superior coffee (in my opinion).

No, they are not excuses. They are the carefully upheld cheat codes for government and the preferred tools of corruption that plague North America and other places. There can be no real democracy when corporations can use bribes to sway political favour.

I can’t tell if you are actually suggesting that a system where the squeakiest wheel gets the grease, is actually good or not.

The right sure can whip themselves into a frenzy. But what good is that when it is really poorly planned, executed even worse, and most often based on lies and bigotry?

Politicians should by legally and morally bound to do what’s best for their country and their constituents regardless of their affiliations, beliefs, or opinions.

Sure, they swear the oaths, but how many actually heed them?

Just using the terms (left, right, liberal, conservative, centrist, far-left, far-right, etc) is actually helping feed the elite political establishment by falling into the trap they have set to keep us all arguing over nothing, while they pass laws and make deals to ultimately chip away at our mechanisms of meaningful progress.

If you ask people from any political belief what they want at their core for society, I am willing to bet you would get very similar answers ( jobs, safety, health care, future for next generations, etc), so why is their so much division?

Even though switching my laptop to Linux was a bit of a pain, especially for other family members, i didn’t regret it at all before. This just makes it even more reassuring as the right move.

Even the programs I had that rely on windoze I just run in wine or in a small vm.

If you can switch, do it!

I must be reading your previous post wrong. I agree that the right do mobilize better.

If we only had a political system that allowed democracy without corporate influence, insider trading and completely whacko voting, we would be set.
