Clearly they all completely understand and empathise with the average American.
How do you ensure your physical safety against dangerous clients?
Geez, I hadn't heard that story before. She's bonkers.
RVs of people coming from Canada, perhaps?
Yggdrasil for me, i think. I honestly don’t remember how it went though.
I had Linux on a second SSD at home recently, but an update to the laptop’s BIOS seems to have stopped it from letting me boot from it. I only keep windows around for games, which is ironic, as I hardly play them anymore.
Work is a windows shop, but I’d rather use Linux.
Wait, Google still has a chat app??
I saw a black cyber truck this weekend. My wife and I both laughed. Mate, you can’t make it invisible by painting it black.
Such a hideous vehicle.
We all know she was a Japanese prisoner. /s

I’m talking about the case where the ruck is set, and a defending player swings around the side as they grapple with someone, and collides with the 9, who is bending down to distribute the ball.
The defending team have no legal way of getting the ball, and they’re doing this movement around the ruck to slow the ball down. To me, that’s illegal. Especially as they’re coming from the side.
If the ball was still contestable, I’d say it was fair game.
Does that include stopping teams like Ireland and others from driving round the side of the ruck, flopping on the ball and pushing the 9 out of the way? How can that not be “playing the 9”?
Can you configure your GtS instance to not federate at all, say if you wanted to run a private instance for friends?
The swamp gets ever deeper and deeper.
Hybrid or small turbo 4 cylinder for hilly neighbourhoods?
While touring a bunch of hilly neighbourhoods, driving up and down tiny, steep hills with sharp corners, this question popped into my mind. Which is better for this kind of driving, a hybrid or a smallish (e.g. 1.5L) turbo 4 cylinder?
They both have low end torque, though the hybrid's torque may come on sooner. The hybrid also has regen braking that can reduce heat buildup in the brakes. The hybrid may be a bit heavier due to the battery and additional hardware.
Would steep inclines put a strain on the turbo and reduce its life span? I know nothing about car mechanicals, so I really don't know if that's possible or not.
The hybrid seems to make more sense. 🤷
Any thoughts?
Anyone familiar with SFTPGo?
I’m trying to set up a group so multiple users can share a folder. I created the group and a folder for it but I’m not what paths I should use for both. The result is that the user can see the group folder in the web UI but an error occurs after clicking on it:
“Failed to get directory listing: Unable to get directory contents"

In person ASL courses in Ottawa?
Bit of a long shot, but are there any in person ASL (sign language) courses in #barrhaven or perhaps south west #ottawa?
Help finding budget gaming laptop
I’d appreciate some assistance in finding a budget gaming laptop from a reliable source. I can pop into BestBuy (who enjoys that anyway!) or Canada Computers but are there alternatives? I’m look for something to play older games, like strategy games as wargames, but I’m not bothered about the latest games. I also want to do some development, likely using Eclipse+Java and also use docker-compose in VirtualBox. Maybe I’ll also mess around with Unity3 or the Unreal engine.
A reasonable spec is: 16 or 32Gb 512Gb+ SSD Decent discrete GFX card but not the latest Current or previous gen AMD or Intel 2+ USB 3 ports FHD monitor Nothing too heavy though I won’t be travelling Budget is probably $1100+tax
Is that reasonable? Thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated.
Best chipset for Linux laptop, Intel or AMD?
I’m considering picking up a cheapish laptop for development, with the intent of installing Linux on it. Typically it’ll be Java development or other stuff in docket containers. Is there a best chipset to pick for Linux or are they pretty much identical these days?
Ghostery browser and android?
I was looking at browsers in the Play store and saw the Ghostery browser. It's now apparently based on Firefox, and I assume the Ghostery (plugin/extension) functionality is built in. Does it protect privacy better than other browsers and is it worth trying out? I currently use Firefox on android but I detest it's UI decisions. I've no idea if Ghostery has a different UI or not.
Self hosted video chat
If I self host some kind of private video chat service, is the video data transferred direct from connected peer to peer? Does it go through the self hosted service instance? Or does that depend on which video server is used?
