Parts of Winnipeg have always been shit. I spent 20 years there growing up and north of Ellice was always terrible.


If you have enough users and systems that this is a problem then you should be centrally managing it. I get that you want to inventory what you have, but I’m saying that you’re probably doing it wrong right now, and your ask is solved by using a central IAM system.


It sounds like you’re probably looking for some kind of SAML compliant IAM system, where credentials and access can be centrally managed. Active Directory and LDAP are examples of that.


Apparently we’re not doing it in a meaningful enough way if Chinese EVs are going to be an issue. The other problem is that China will just tit-for-tat with a tariff or restriction of their own and nothing will be gained.


Tariffs with no alternative in Canada for affordable EVs. Sounds like a giveaway to American car manufacturers. Maybe we should subsidize our own EV and battery industries instead of forcing Canadians to buy cars they don’t want.


Well, 1ms of latency is 300km of distance, so unless you have something really misconfigured or overloaded, or you’re across the country, latency shouldn’t be an issue. 10-20ms is normally the high water mark for most synchronous replication, so you can go a long way before a protocol like DNS becomes an issue.


I find a lot of stuff is using docker compose, which works with Podman, but using straight docker is easier, especially if it’s nothing web-facing


Yes, but you don’t need Kubernetes from the start.


Use object storage and enable immutability for the backups. If they compromise your site they shouldn’t be able to delete your backups unless they have the NAS password too.


Script that checks your external IP and updates your DNS provider via API.


Not big, but I have a few degenerate hoarding friends I mooch off of


Stanford is literally in Silicon Valley. It’s no shock that the University that cranks out tech bros and is funded by the same group doesn’t want anyone reporting on anything unethical.



TL;DR: It was the bean counters


Erasure coding may be a better option than RAID.


An HP EliteDesk G4 mini desktop Is around that much


By all means, test out what her ex will be entitled to.


Hey guess who gets your wife’s pension and insurance payouts? Her legal husband.


This has been the law of the land in Alberta for several years and has withstood legal challenges so far.

I believe the argument goes: A driver’s license is a privilige, not a right. Therefore forcing you to blow during a traffic stop to maintain the privilege of having your license isn’t a breach of your constitutional rights.



If the Tesla Network fails then anyone with a Tesla plug will just buy an adapter to whatever standard does take over.



I think the real root cause is governments allowing corporations to grow so large that any competitive effects are removed. In the absense of real regulation there’s no way for competition to occur, allowing corporations to squeeze every dime they can from their customers.


Batteries can be fixed, they’re made of cells and they don’t all die at once. You don’t have to replace the whole battery and there’s already shops who will refurb them. Hoovie on YouTube got hia Tesla S battery fixed for 2500 bucks.

Edit: Also, there’s secondary uses for cells. You can use EV battery cells in all kinds of applications from grid storage to RC cars. Again, there’s companies repurposing them already. You can buy second hand cells from a bunch of places.


Alberta had over 200k immigrants last year. There’s a huge shortage, not just a shortage of good pay.


They’re a non-profit and they’re aiming for the largest possible market segment.


Does your work IT department not manage their laptops? Are they not going to come asking why your system is unmanageable?



Object storage is really popular for backups now because you can make it immutable by protocol standard and with erasure coding you can have fault tolerance across locations.




Subscription services allow companies to show higher valuations to their investors. Everything is shifting that way because our shareholder system demands it.


The problem with external LUNs is that they’re out of the control of the hypervisor. You can run into situations where migration events can cause access issues. If you can have the data presented through the hypervisor it will lead to less potential issues. Using object or NFS are also good options, if available.


Don’t present LUNs to VMs is the best practice. The only time you should do it is if you’re absolutely forced because you’re doing something that doesn’t support better shared disk options.


It flows that your IP is now PII, and will be subject to regulation. We’ll see when the first lawsuit happens.





I switched to the 3M blue allegen furnace filters and it kept the smoke at bay
