At first I thought this was a Beaverton article, wtf

Scrap the pipeline, and build the refinery to handle it all ourselves instead of sending our crude to Texas.

The only right move is to stand up to bullies.

It does seem suspicious though. ehnow.ca was registered on 2025-02-13 and its cert issuer is Google Trust Services, US, while ehnw.ca was registered on 2026-01-07 and its cert issuer is Amazon, US. That seems like an odd discrepancy.

It may be their “url shortener” domain, but for one single letter that seems a bit futile.

I’m not saying the intent is malicious, but most of us are security conscious on the Fediverse.

Also even though it’s a Canadian platform, I find it a bit dissapointing I can’t even read the content of a single post without having to give my phone number.

Looks like the content is locked behind a login, any way to make this visible without signing up?

You can go with the default Adguard DNS configuration https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html

Guess that elbow will stay up, for protection and drinking Canadian booze.

There’s also Repair mode if you want something more drastic

IMO storing Passkeys in Google Password Manager is a bad idea in general.

Still, most people will look at the TV during the meeting, so all you see is one side of their faces.

We tried the owls in some of our meeting rooms and we scrapped those.

What’s the point of having a 360 camera in the center of the room when everyone will stare at the big TV anyway? All the people at the other end see is everyone looking sideway to the camera.

You either have

• Easy to use
• Will eventually lose support
• May remain unpatched or
• Require more maintenance
• You can run the OS of your choice
• It’s your responsibility to ensure it remains patched

I decided I wanted something long-term, and bought a NAS appliance I can boot my own OS onto it, so I went with the Ugreen DXP2800.

I’m running Ubuntu LTS, with Cockpit as the webUI to manage parts of it, and my web services are all running through podman containers (aka quadlets).

There’s a bit of a learning curve, which is the price I was willing to accept.

You may want to have a dead man’s switch so that the server shuts down without your intervention, or there’s the possibility that the police could retrieve the encryption key in RAM through some physical attacks.

I host a couple of encrypted snapshots in the cloud (stuff that I can’t afford to lose), but it’s still vastly cheaper to host a massive amount of data locally.

The stuff I have locally mostly stuff I can recover elsewhere (yarr), so redundancy without backup is good enough cost-wise.

Me too, but they’re all on my Plex server for all my homies to see.

Thank you :)

Aurora is my go-to nowadays
