I always get my isp outers as pass through so network is controlled by my entry. I have never bothered doing much with it but it’s nice to have the option.

I used to use a ddwrt firmware for years but eventually my hardware could never keep up with my net speeds and manufacture firmware was faster. Trying an Omada network now seems alright but haven’t added their wifi.

Makes sense cause I always thought Trump was made with a second anus for the amount of verbal shit he spews.

The correct response anytime he opens his anus…sorry I mean mouth, mouth.

Yeah definitely take precautions "points to Ukraine*, never know when a neighbor will have too much vodka. Or don’t but think Canada has a better chance if NATO is on the ball.

There were mentions that he wrote his own speech from others. From what I understand it’s probably true since that would be his regular type of conference as a head banker previously. I’ll be honest haven’t listened to it or know a lot about Carney but this is what I’ve gleened in comments about his speech. Guess I knew about his banker credentials before and he helped us through the 08 crisis which Canada went through decently. Though I had no idea who he was until the leader of the liberal party

From everything I’ve read about his speech, which I will listen to at some point, makes me feel better with him in charge if we aren’t going to be more progressive.

Hopefully it pans out as the neighbor. But I still totally agree with that statement even if it fucks us, then if it does but we won’t roll over quietly…I hope. Fascists cannot be appeased, let alone toddler narcissists who want their next soother. Someone needs to put that baby to bed. Placating but not appeasing them I mean, like you do a fussy toddler, not saying violence. No teaching this toddler but sometimes they can understand their place and stop making as big of a fuss and have a minor one when he doesn’t get his diet coke.

I read it a few times but I realized there was more to get from it cause I sort of sped read through some (dry) parts the first time. This was back in the mid 2000s when there was less relevant information for us in North America at the time. Nowadays it needs to be brought in for any decent curriculum, though I don’t think the fascists would approve that.

Course in the US there’s a lot less demanding of education for reasons like this book, you understand what can lead to our current situation and see how harmful it is. Heaven forbid the common folk understand propaganda like they show. Any truly great society would relish in their citizens being well educated and informed of such things to make better progress going forward.

Keep expectations low, he’ll probably beat the pettiness within a few weeks. Just describing the current president of the US. If this was the 90s it’d be an SNL skit, in 2026 it’s just just accurate.

Cheap computer (I’m Canadian so let’s say these are maple bucks) say $500, what’s a rental $30 a month, so 16ish months before it’s paid off.

I ran a media PC off a $300 computer for years (I can’t recall exactly least 2 maybe 3). If you need more you probably don’t need a cloud one, if you get a cloud one it’s cheaper to buy a cheap computer every 2 years.

It may make a sense to some but I enjoy having my nas backup and separate media PC. Also if Amazon goes down you can’t even access the calculator, least with no Internet there are options at home.

Sounds like a reasonable idea for the issue presented. Mean the issue could be on one drive saying the file is there and complete, or many other issues since I don’t know the API in the least.

Yours would be my first guess for sure, it thinks it completed so delete local copy, which is what you’d prefer in that situation, well mostly, I sort of prefer a local working copy but need some other names and the program to recognize thm with then upload on actual save to the cloud storage…I say that and still curse at excel when it says it has a backup copy from a forced reboot, always keep one open heh.

Actually to be fair I hate those storages for that reason so much crap can go wrong without a knowledgeable user it makes things worse. You just hope the program can tell if it did it was done correctly heh and if not then end up clicking the wrong button and it’s all gone.

Local NAS for anything you think you’ll need, random ‘free’ cloud storage as a general backup. Mean I assume the NAS has raid so mostly good without more.

plays fortune son it ain’t me…

Some reason? Oh nothing like a country trying to swallow up neighbors like they’re playing a Paradox game.

Yeah nothing to see there, just move on until they knock on your door and of course saying no will make the army turn back. I’m sure that worked well for Ukraine…right?

Besides that it’s from the administration that lies all the time, and no proof has been shown? I guess not, though there are good arguments that the boats couldn’t have reached the US and having 11 people on a smuggling boat doesn’t make sense.

Then there’s the fact that the crimal punishment for smuggling isn’t death and they were not even charged, had a trial and found guilty.

Anything that is hard and worth doing will make you exhausted, some things are worth the exhaustion. I couldn’t do it, glad some people with good ideals can.

There’ll be articles about the crime rate and all under a month I assume, isn’t that standard for any mayor let alone an anti establishment one? I barely know much about him. Just that he has good ideas he wants to implement so congrats New York on your fine mayor.

To be fair unsure your exact intent I just wanted to mention from what I’ve read the hit articles always come soon after the election. At face value I take the first part, for the second part, anyone that can become mayor of New York would be ready for that.

Yeah can’t imagine a bunch of girls having a great time there, especially once he ends up dying for his ideals (if not now then later). Leaving a mother and daughters. Pretty sure this is the guy who didn’t even know the language while getting training before he was pushed up to the front. Can’t imagine thinking any probable outcome is better for anyone involved, but the kids definitely don’t deserve whatever happens.

Isn’t the first part what’s going on in the US? I assume the AI part isn’t part of the government here.

Also isn’t Vance funded by Theil?

Now comic books are kinda out of date, they used to assume you couldn’t be that evil and say you are while no one stops you from your plan while you talk about it non stop.

Is that not all old ‘hard drives’ like before SSD ones or did I misrecall something? Like anything with a platter. Anything newer would be solid state right? Maybe I was more commercial drives, did have that in my background but it’s been a decade now heh.

Oh I was thinking more about bad springs and arms than the platters themselves for that part (okay I’m not sure why or if I saw but I believe the old ones used springs in some function maybe the arms so quite old memory at this point don’t quote me), the moveable stuff that can wear out easier. A more specialized repair if possible, not the platters themselves though without losing the data.

There are USB and sata floppy drives. As for tech support? If it doesn’t work then warranty or replace, there isn’t much else you do with drives beyond that for modern drives either (unless I’ve missed something by not paying attention for years). I may be wrong on the last point, think some hard drives may be repairable but don’t think it was common for consumer level stuff. The worst case is probably a stuck disk that loses it’s protector then gets replaced, both the drive and the disk when copied over.
