  • An interesting caveat I’ve found for self-hosting is that getting server hardware in Canada is harder now that several companies, most notably NewEgg, have decided that any equipment that might have a business use case requires a business account and license, meanwhile Americans can still buy things like rackmount hardware no issues.

    You can still get rackmount stuff on Amazon, but fuck Bezos. I’d like a better option. I’ve found some places like AVADirect that will ship to Canada, but not any Canadian businesses that sell that stuff to normal Canadians.

    That would be an interesting list.

    I used Gnome Shell 3 for 4 years before giving up on it and going to KDE.

    The huge differentiator is that KDE may look like windows OOTB on most distros, but if you want you can easily make it look like Gnome, Mac, Unity… whatever. The panels and menus are infinitely configurable.

    And that is why this meme is dead on the money. I’ve come to hate dev teams that have “visions” that they cram down users throats regardless of the experience. And the irony is that Gnome 2 used to be much more configurable than older KDE versions.






  • Yeah I learned this first hand in Ontario. I refuse to ride on the road in that province and only ride on sidewalks. When I get questioned by police I cite my right to not follow law that puts me in danger. I found out after following the road laws and being struck by a truckhole with an attitude that OPP will not do shit if you get hit because as a cyclist you are uninsured. Unless you die, its a ‘collision’ with an uninsured vehicle taking the only damage in their eyes.
