Imagine him losing to an AOC type. 💦

Now imagine what a jump we could see should the NDP install a charismatic, no nonsense, working class leader with union credentials.

They should build a factory in Canada like the rest of the autos. Then labor practices and safety will follow Canadian standards, and more of the significant purchase price will remain in our local economy. That will also level the playing field with other Canadian made cars instead of decimating the future of the industry, since lower cost EVs are far from profitable yet. Yes #FuckCars and all that, but there always will be a need for cars even if we drive fewer of them. It’s good to be able to build EVs in Canada. The neoliberal dream that we can offshore and buy things made anywhere in the world while having people in our economy flourish has failed. Doing more of it won’t make it work.

Glowing heart in the window not enough?

Interesting. Does it say if it’s an average or a median?

HouseSigma shows a median for all property types in July of 854,000 for Toronto and 950,000 for GTA.

They’ll oblige. If there’s one thing they hate more than inflation, it’s deflation.

Oh yes, this totally makes sense without an extension on mobile. Thanks for the update!

Well I suppose they’ll support the demands of the workers then.

I think when they say “home” they mean detached/semi-detached. Not condos.

One more Q - is your ArchiveBox setup able to save pages that require login? E.g. paywalled news articles that you have subscriptions for, some other stuff behind auth?

I like this.

Makes sense. I currently have ArchiveBox setup but it doesn’t automatically save anything. I was thinking about getting it to save bookmarks. I guess I’ll setup Linkwarden to try out the workflow too.

Doesn’t Linkwarden play the role of the bookmarks manager? Doesn’t/can’t it save all that’s bookmarked in it?

Has anyone compared its page archiving feature to ArchiveBox?

Polls say 42% don’t function.

This turd has been in government for 6 years and has so little positive to show for it, and so many quality of life declines it’s ridiculous. For all the shit there isn’t even buck-a-beer to flush it down.

Oh boy the Greens mask seems to have fallen off a bit.

This might be a blessing in disguise. The BC Liberal party (BC United) posing as liberals would no longer confuse or split the left vote. It’s NDP vs the conservatives, plain and simple.

Unfortunately this was in Ireland so it may not be replicable in the US.

Oh no judgment at all, I’m also using Chrome at work and somewhat outside of work.

Perhaps this will bug people who currently use Chrome and uBO to switch browsers.

A Christian think tank.

Cat 5e does 2.5Gb. Getting higher spec cables might increase the probability of them being well made to spec but other than that, what you really need is good quality cables, Cat 5e or otherwise.

Well if it can’t do the spec, then it’s not Cat 5e is it. 😅

The PRC intentionally deflated private companies that it felt needed deflation (e.g. construction sector) so it’s probably unsurprising that the private sector decreased in size.

China doesn’t need continual FDI. They need FDI to speedrun manufacturing and technology development instead of having to do all the R&D needed to get it. This implies that the need for FDI will decrease over time as China learns how to build the things it previously couldn’t. The PRC does not seem interested in making money for foreign investors other than when they want to get their know-how.

You’re making me nervous.

But then again, all my Pis are OpenWrt now which barely writes, so I’m probably fine. 😅

Any failures of SanDisk Extreme Pro / Samsung Evo Plus?

I buy the redundancy argument. I’d still use ZFS for that if possible though. 😂 All my machines use mdraid 1 for their system drives but now that I know enough about ZFS, I’d likely use it on root next time around.

BTW in my anecdata I’ve yet to have a failure on any of my SanDisk Extreme Pro SD cards. I have 4 in active use on different Pi 4s. The oldest one is in use since 2018-ish. It used to be a NAS till 2022 so roughly 3-4 years of 24/7 use with a bog-standard OS. It’s now running OpenWrt which does fewer writes.

That wouldn’t solve the problem though would it? It might make it less likely to fail but there’s still significant downtime if there’s no hot spare for this USB drive.

Why would it lock up? ZFS will use as much RAM as you give it and it doesn’t seem CPU-bound unless you turn on encryption. It’s not a cluster FS like Ceph. Why do you expect ZFS to lock up and Btrfs not to?

I would try it. My only issue is I have no idea how to set it up on root on a Pi. Perhaps there’s docs somewhere. If had to setup a new Pi with Pi OS/Debian/Ubuntu today I’d definitely try it. Most of my Pis are running OpenWrt though.

I used it on a Pi 4 in 2019 for an USB-connected mirror and it worked well. Unencrypted throughput was upwards from 200MB/s. Encrypted throughput dropped down to under 100MB/s due to insufficient compute. The Pi 4 is a powerful computer and the Pi 5 even more so. Pi 3 and older, not so much.

Perhaps the best answer by far is ZFS but I don’t know how much pain it is to set it up to boot from on a Pi. The easiest to setup is probably LVM.

With ZFS you can trivially keep a hot spare even over the network. Just tell syncoid where to replicate.

Yeah, you’re right, if it’s meant as disks-only, then TPM is the easy solution.

I think SSH unlocked LUKS at boot might be a decent compromise, with the SSH server at a different physical location.

I mean, TPM-locked machine with all the other parts configured correctly should be reasonably secure. It would boot without interaction and be available on the network. It would require a sophisticated and motivated actor to find a vulnerability in one of the systems in the boot chain to get in. That’s probably good enough for preventing data leaks from theft. But the user has to make sure the whole boot chain is configured securely.

If someone can login as root on that machine, by for example rebooting in recovery mode, they can also run the script and access the drives. Or they can get the password from the keyring. A keyring that doesn’t require a password to unlock or whose password is stored somewhere on the machine is equivalent to plain text storage. There’s no obvious solution other than ensuring the system can’t be rooted without a login, I’m just pointing the flaw out in case you feel it’s more secure than it is.

Wait, how’s this gonna help? If someone swipes the machine, they also have the TPM. TPM only helps against someone reading the disks on another machine. TPM is only useful to protect data during physical access if the rest of the firmware/software stack is impenetrable. In practical terms this would mean locked UEFI, disabled alternate boot device, Secure Boot, locked GRUB, and locked logins. In effect the security of the data is transferred from the knowledge of a passphrase to the knowledge of a login password, and the attack surface is expanded across multiple systems that all have to be secure and configured correctly to not allow access prior to OS login.

Only useful if the backup machine isn’t also used as a hot spare.

And if that was part of standard operation, the cops could perhaps have done their job and explained that to the citizen whom they serve, without subsequently flipping them off.

They’re not rivals.

Gotta keep vigilant during the local municipal and school board elections. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen guys from this crop in during our last school board election cycle.
