Even people will find it hard, microslop has windows installed on so many computers when companies could just easily install Linux on computers and save consumers money. They could just install mint, and have it pre loaded with bottles and proton. Sure there will be a time of frustration but people will eventually get over it.

Russia has this habit of expanding and contracting every so often, after these ‘traditional values’ men are put through the meat grinder I am curious as to what these visa’s will be good for when the women and children are left?

Simple he wants to stock pile all the booze the Canadians will need when we burn down the white house again!

And tools that people use to protect themselves.

I understand all of this but did Biden do anything to try, anything at all?

Trump does something the courts rule it unconstitutional, if his supreme court still says “we have to reluctly agree with the lower courts” he changes a word or two and the thing stays in the courts until they agree.

I fell down the rabbit hole of self hosting, some stuff had happened at my place so I had nothing to do real fast. I have a bunch of pis running all kinds of things, I am waiting on a hand me down Mac mini, that I will install Debian on and get a third party solution set up. I currently use adblock plus in Librewolf to block youtube ads on a pi 5 hooked up to my TV. I self host my blog, because hey why not? I self host vaultwarden, I do not want someone other than myself to accidentally leave the doors open to my passwords (which is why I have hardened it so much)! I selfhost my calendars and contacts, why pay someone else to sync those across devices? I have the arr suite with Transmission and Jellyfin running, I used to get emails from my ISP saying stop or else law office of who the fuck will spend $10 000’s to sue you for the $100’s you can be sued for in Canada (they used to email me but I have my ISP email send a auto reply saying I do not use this email anymore because it is hosted using exchange) but now they are paper mail. Slowly climming the walls out of Apple’s ecosystem I started using Home Assistant to be less seen by big tech. I self host other things to but I think you get the picture.

Being one with your LAN is great but when you need to leave the sweat embrace of your LAN and travel out into the scary WAN you realize how much you miss those services so you start self hosting Wireguard (or whatever FOSS VPN) to feel the sweet embrace again. I was going to say I self host my email but I had orignally thought it would be a weekend/week long project, when I got into it I just said FUCK no and settled with my new domain server who has the wildcard option my previous provider did not offer (easyDNS I would recommend over HostHero any day of the week they are less expensive and offer so much more). So I agree with you that third party apps are the way to go I unfortunately do not easily have access to third party VPN stuff with my IP needing to be static so that my personal VPN can be accessed, I am sure I could do some firewall and router kung fu to get a VPN to work on the proper vLANs and all that but instead of that I use pihole + unbound to block incoming ads and trackers as I have been for years already. Now that I am using a vanilla install of openWRT on a Flint2 switch instead of just using Apple’s walls, uFw on my pi’s, and a hope and a prayer with my IoT stuff I can proudly say it is all properly vLANed and if there are ever trackers that do manage to get their way into my LAN will have a hard time getting out.

Years ago when I was learning about pihole I made the boo boo of opening port 22 on my ISPs router, and that was a very expensive mistake! So now all but one of my things use a different ssh port, why does one thing still use 22? I have a pi 0 2 that runs crowdsec. Sorry I get excited to talk about the ways I am saying FUCK off to big tech, but I have every intention of using a third party app for my TV I currently use unwatched on my iOS devices but that still uses my google account.

As much as I want to agree with you I want to say look at Biden and all the stuff he turned back from the first MAGA shit show. What you mean not a dot or tiddel of the old law changed?

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 2 points 21 hours ago

I think you mean, we are in the “working class phase” of the eating faces territory. Only question is what is your favourite BBQ sauce?

We will have to see if this court will really slow the facism or not.

I personally only steal youtube, the Google knows what I watch and very little more.

People should start investing in infared LEDs!

Get one of them infared neck laces, Trump will use that as evidence that dead headless people are voting. I am not a US citizen, luckily “I am Canadian!”, but it would be amusing.

 

Saskatchewan is going big on nuclear, announcing plans to explore building two large nuclear reactors in the province's northwest, with a goal of having the first online by 2042.

The Government of Saskatchewan also confirmed it has narrowed down the location of further study for its construction of small modular reactors (SMRs) to the Rafferty site near Estevan.

I know it is over kill but I wish they where going with CANDU reactors.

 

I have degoogled a lot peertube is not good enough yet.

 

they are choosing the wrong time (or something like that)

As a Saskatchewan resident born and raised, guess what people get used to it.

 

Trump says he's taking action to bar Canadian-made products from eligibility for certain U.S. government purchasing contracts.

In a post to his Truth Social platform, Trump said he is directing the General Services Administration — the independent agency that oversees federal government procurement — to remove Canadian-origin products from its "multiple award schedules." 

Those schedules account for more than $50 billion US worth of procurement per year, said Trump, but it's unclear how much of that is made up of Canadian goods.      

"The Canadian Government, including Canadian Provinces, have banned American Small Businesses and Companies from selling into their Government Procurement Markets," said Trump in the post. "From now on, NO RECIPROCITY – NO ACCESS!" 

Trump said the removal would stay in place "unless Canada restores full and fair reciprocity for American Farmers and Companies."

 

Even though I am not affected by this BS with the name in Saskatchewan, it just goes to show how much we rely on the U.S. big tech.

 

Some Canadian websites, including for the federal government, displayed maps with Lake Ontario renamed as Lake America on Sunday, a day after Google Maps announced the change to align with an executive order by U.S. President Donald Trump.

This is why we need to use more open source stuff not tied to a closed US company like; Apple, Google, Microslop, Twitter, Meta, and whatever else.

 

So I write letters when I am grumpy with organizations, I got grumpy with the CBC and wrote them and the ombudsman of CBC letters.

 

Trump is the big dumb, I guess I am going to need to break and make sure Google Maps does not change the name at least not here in Canada.

The move is reminiscent of his move last year to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America."

 

So last night my firewall decided to say F you Reann and stopped working for no apparent reason. I called my ISP to see if it was anything on their end but it was a big nope. It was rather late at night and I do not have computers with monitors at my place so I thought I was SOL. I was frustrated that I could not do anything because I had the bright idea of deleting one of my two static IPs out of the router and than reboot it. I thought to calm my frustrations I would play some games on my ipad, and holly poop am I ever not used to all the ads in mobile games. Luckily my youtube ad blocking does not require anything else on my LAN so I put on some videos and went to bed. In the morning I remembered I had a ethernet to USB adapter and a USB A to c adapter so I would be able to fix it that way. Don’t know how many times I needed to fix the firewall because I broke the internet trying to fix my boo boos and a few times the firewall just said F you Reann I am not putting out. But it is now fixed and I can enjoy my moble games and web browsing mostly ad free!

So I had no pihole action on my LAN.

Like seriously how do people hand how many ads are shoved at you when you are using your devices?

I was on DuckDuckGo this morning trying to fix things and wow the ads, really made me miss searXNG.

Luckily I do not get spam, I spin up a new address for everything so I did not get those ads at least.

I have been running crowdsec on my OpenWRT firewall for a bit now, I am just curious as to what others think about it?

Thank you @irmadlad the webui you suggested is showing the logs a lot better than my vibe coded HA plug ins (both my ssh honey pot and my plug in showed nothing) looking over the logs shows so much activity that is happening.
