It’s very reminiscent of when the Canadian Alliance and the progressive conservatives joined forces to make the CPC.
The whole thing has been a bit of a mess imo… The MLA in my region seems to know his audience though… They just sent me a newsletter talking about seniors resources and I’m not even old enough for a midlife crisis yet 😅
I had no idea that interac was Canadian. Learn something new every day
It’s only chompagne if it comes from the chompagne region of Fronce
Which is interesting to say… If they did seperate, I highly doubt that they’d be keeping any of the existing healthcare infrastructure.
I don’t think the US wants Albertans anyway. I think they just want what they’re standing on.
Their peat moss imports primarily come from Canada. Some 80 - 90% from what I could find.
There are a few other suppliers that might be able to step up, but the USA seems to be feeling pretty independent these days… I’m not sure how that would go for them
We’re trying to come closer in all those ways. The “don’t buy US made products” has spread everywhere and I hear it’s starting to make an impact.
I’m worried about our southern neighbours… I see the news and it feels like they might have a civil war on their hands.
Sharing a border with them might make this especially difficult. Even American culture has gotten to us North of the border… Thankfully it seems like a big part of our identity is just “we’re not American” so when the nasty T word came around most people I knew were actively boycotting ( and still are) US made products. Here’s hoping that if it comes down to a civil war, it’s quick and painless…
I’m with OP on this one. I enjoy reading quality content, not just the act of reading. I think the idea is that by using an LLM to help sort through the drivel you have more time to do the reading of the quality content.
And really, I’m always suspicious of the why when an algorithm suggests me an article… Having something less tied directly to a companies bottom line might help me trust the content more.
Hahaha. I see you’re being down arrowed a bit… But I was thinking the same thing.
Reason I was thinking nixos was because op was talking about " flipping switches" they couldn’t flip back. Nixos has that sorted out.
Plus… It sounds like op isn’t afraid of trying new and possibly difficult things on a new server they’ve acquired
The truth is that proxmox is likely the best option here. But nixos could be a fun ( type2 fun) challenge if they’re into that kind of thing
To add to the idea of using tailscale. I’ve been using tsdproxy for a while now and it’s outrageously easy to set up.
The reason I’ve gone this route is that I feel like it gives me a bit more control over who is in my network and what they can get to.
Each service gets a funny name address and I get to share that specific service with other people who also have tailscale. Then if they get on my nerves or something, I can stop sharing that specific service and they can figure it out on their own.
I use the notes sections in proxmox preeettty heavily. Lots of links to the helper scripts, youtube videos and other resources i used to get er’ goin’.
In the near future I’m really hoping I can set up Netbox to help me document the network and equipment I’m putting in my homelab. a nice thing is that I went through a divorce a while ago and I’m getting to start from scratch. You’d be surprised at just how much you’ve learned since starting to self host and I think there’s this sunk cost fallacy that gets a lot of us to keep going with what we’ve got already set up because we’ve “already put so much work into it” and the concern of what we might lose by scrapping it and starting over.
Also, not what you asked… but if you’re still relatively new with proxmox you should check out the ProxmoxVE helper scripts. Lots of good automated scripts from doing a post-install to setting up various LXC containers and VM’s
I used to work for a mobile phone dealership for said company…
I’m sure any Telus robot or shill could find out exactly who I am based on what I’m about to say, but it doesn’t really matter anymore.
The business practices they used ( and possibly probably still use) were atrocious. I, like most people in sales… Don’t actually give a rat’s ass about lost sales or poor earnings. We care about getting the customer the thing they want and/or need. I was continuously blocked from helping my customers because they made it painfully difficult to get resources.
Oh… This customer had a weird charge on their bill? That’ll take 2.5 hours on the phone to reach someone who can’t even help you immediately.
Oh… You’re a geriatric man who has hearing issues and someone sold you a phone over a landline and now you’re in my store confused about where it came from. Sorry, that’s not something I can deal with, but you can call in and I can help you navigate the bullshit that Telus with immediately try to sling at you.
Even the plans didn’t make any sense. Plans with calls were priced lower than plans with only texting… Texting itself ( as far as my research took me) actually used less of the network resources than a phone call. The ONLY reason I can see why this was the case is because " the market would bear" and it was something everyone wanted. Similarly, data plans seem to be the same. I don’t even think that modern phones distinguish between communication traffic and data traffic anymore.
Either way. I’ve all but given up on mobile providers giving reasonable service… Turns out… Publicly traded companies will only do things if there’s a monetary consequence for not doing it. I feel like we need to give the CRTC some bigger teeth
There might be a whole lot more forks out in the world 😖. Ultimately that’s what I’d do. Don’t want me to contribute? Fine! I’ll make my own with Blackjack and hookers!
