I agree with WG however I need https for a few locally hosted items like actual budget so I have that through nginx proxy manager. I was debating adding Authelia in front with some of my others (audiobook shelf, home assistant and music assistant) as sometimes I disconnect from my home network and forget to reconnect.
I get why you’re frustrated about the taxes, but let’s take a step back and look at the bigger picture. My message to increase taxes on smokers and vapers isn’t about punishing people for their choices, it’s about offsetting the huge costs that smoking and vaping put on the healthcare system and society as a whole.
You’re already paying a pretty penny in taxes on your e-juice, but the reality is that the healthcare costs associated with smoking and vaping are way higher than what’s being brought in through taxes. We’re talking $6 billion dollars each year to treat smoking-related illnesses (https://www.lung.ca/cla-commends-canadian-government’s-step-toward-tobacco-industry-accountability). Let’s be real, the tax revenue from vaping products isn’t necessarily being used to address the health concerns associated with vaping.
Rather than just opposing increased taxes, maybe it’s worth thinking about how we can make the tax system more fair. Could we structure taxes to encourage people to use safer products, like your refillable RTAs/RTDs, over more hazardous ones. The goal here is to promote public health and reduce the costs associated with smoking and vaping.
I recently reached out to the Ontario Minister of Education and the Minister of Privacy to ask why there are tech positions in school boards when they mostly outsource to companies like Microsoft and Google instead of using OSS options. It’s a bit concerning, especially since my child is set to receive a Chromebook next year. I’m planning to decline that and instead provide them with a Linux notebook.
