It’s not like he’s going to be around long enough to see the fallout. I guess it’s easier to fleece a dying industry now and let some ‘woke’ democrat deal with the repercussions later.

Thanks for this! I’ll check it out.

The ensh*tification continues. Time for community git to somehow be federated like lemmy.

Some sort of encrypted collective sharing of the whole through BitTorrent style shared hosting.

I would seriously consider donating a few TB space and half my bandwidth to that.

No questions. Just thanks.

In a world now seemingly devoid of genuine kindness and empathy, actions like these spark hope in the weary.

The even brighter side of it is that it should be easier to spot these companies when job hunting.

IMO: Demand higher wages and iron clad contracts from them because they already demonstrated how they feel about paying people.

They’ll surely cut anyone they can again as soon as they can.

Guns might be part of the solution (hopefully not), but coming out pistols blazing now would just help justify the orange clowns dance routine at this point I think. Give him and his cronies the political push they need to go full domestic military action.

If every American citizen stocked up, they still wouldn’t beat the American military. And Canada probably isn’t coming to help you after recent events.

That depends on hire long they wait.

Edit edit: I need sleep

It would be interesting to find out what correlation, if any, the hesitation of some councillors may have with the size of vehicle they drive? Or their close family drive?

Also, how many trade workers actually use those jacked up trucks for their trade? While someone in a regular sized vehicle trying to park can’t get a spot because those beast mobiles take up multiple lanes…

Or, you know, rise up collectively and topple this craziness before it comes to the point of needing guns.

Not that I’m suggesting Americans do anything of the sort. It’s just that France managed to do it back in the day.

Is America ok about being completely out done by the French?

Croissant.

I am not a follower of his, but I am certainly an advocate for de-<insert mega tech company name here>ing having just finally rid myself of Micros**t, which was preceded by getting rid of almost all of the family streaming subs.

The Steamdeck is actually a great device for this simply because it is a very functional pc in desktop mode. Throw in a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, with even a generic dock and it can rival most laptops, especially with the added video capabilities it already has.

I find myself using it as a pc almost as much as a gaming device, just because it works so well for both.

I’m not convinced you would need to rise up. Just collectively stop going to work. The house of cards falls pretty quickly on capitalism if there are no workers to exploit.

All the power is in the populace if they all agree to take it back together.

It’s the laziest thing a person could do really. Just stay at home, ration food and wait until the billionaire folks lose their minds.

Couldn’t agree with you more. I think it is vitally important Canadians as a whole continue to reflect on the mistakes and unthinkable things done in the past, to make sure we do everything we can to prevent anything like them in the future.

If we all held onto, and strived for, the Canada we remembered as kids, maybe we can carve a newer, better future for all Canadians, present citizens and those destined to become Canadian.

We need to look to the authoritarian, old school countries as examples of what happens if we aren’t vigilant. To lean into and integrate our cultural and political differences as a source of strength, not division.

In my opinion, only then can we really become true Canada.

I’m not advocating for the US. The idea of arguably the most aggressive regimes in the world somehow coordinating the timing of their next big moves is just a bit terrifying to me.

I agree with you, but my tinfoil hat is telling me to dig a shelter, preserve food and start making ammo. You know, for game hunting.

I keep getting this sinking feeling that this is all leading up to a precise and coordinated attack of evil.

Russia bombards the EU, the US attacks Greenland and Canada, while Israel finally bulldozes Gaza and Iran. China takes Taiwan and the south sea.

All at the same time so NATO is overwhelmed and can’t decisively defend it all without risking spreading too thin. No matter what happens, one of the bad guys gains ground.

I honestly have no idea if this is even possible, it’s based on a dream I had a few weeks ago.

Disturbing thought though.

Whatever the outcome of this presidential reign of stupid. The American system needs to fundamentally change from the ground up.

Trump is about half way to making America sink lower then North Korea on the world stage.

IMO Norm’s magic was in his delivery more than his jokes. He was a master of comedic pauses that were often masked as stumbles or as if he forgot the joke and was trying to remember it.

He could drag a joke like this out for 5 minutes and have you laughing the whole time.

Truly a master of his craft. Or a natural joke teller. We will never really know. And he probably wouldn’t tell anyone even if was still here.

I miss the guy.

What I suggest/have done:

1. Rent a cheap VPS in a non-five eyes country that comes with a static ipv4.

2. SSH on random port with certificate auth only. No root, no password auth.

3. setup WireGuard server with random port.

4. firewall block all incoming except ssh and WireGuard port at first.

5. set home server to connect via wireguard as sole client to VPS.

6. individually add any ports you want to go to the home server from the internet as NAT forwarded ports. Basically WWW -> VPS -> Home.

7. have a separate WireGuard VPN for outgoing from the home server.

8. profit?

But it’s crazy complicated. At least it was for me. Not for the faint hearted imo.

Thanks for this! I’ll read up on it.

The name unfortunately put me off from looking into it before. Basically anything with ‘coin’ in it just makes my brain go to crypto scam automatically these days I think.
