Yeah it works surprisingly well. I installed Gentoo on a 2005 era laptop a few years ago and had to keep adding zswap until Rust could compile for Firefox. Iirc it took about 12G of zswap to get it working, but it wasn’t too bad overall.
A Regina judge has ruled that the Saskatchewan government’s naming and pronoun policy should be paused for the time being, but Premier Scott Moe says he’ll use the notwithstanding clause to override it....
My understanding was that it was intended as an “emergency brake” - a circuit breaker that could be tripped in an urgent situation, at the cost of the user’s career. But, that requires a politically literate population that would discourage its use.
So, instead we have strongman premiers using it as a hammer to point their profoundly unpopular policies through, and an apathetic and disengaged voter base willing to look the other way.
I see it as part of the broader erosion of the “checks and balances” we were assured would prevent this type of creeping dismantling of democracy.

East coast of Canada and US will become arid. Caribbean will become hotter and storms will become more severe. Scotland, Ireland, Iceland, and Norway will be substantially colder (compare latitude of UK with Northern Canada) and with less precipitation. Basically, everywhere that relies on warm tropical moist air currents will drastically change.
Yes, it’s an El Nino year which will push the global average up a little more than normal, but this really is the new normal. Since the new maritime fuel regulations to reduce sulphur dioxide came into effect about three years ago, the stratospheric aerosol concentration has reduced to the point that its cooling effect is waning. There’s nothing holding back climate change now, and we’re getting the full effect like never before. Of course, there will still be some variation in the annual mean temperature, but the line is going up from here on out.
Yeah, this has nothing to do with encryption, it’s because they refuse to have a support division that would be able to get people back into their accounts.
I want online stores to buy tech and other items (not clothing, I already have a few stores for that. Although if a specific store has clothing in addition to the things I’m asking for is fine). Kind of like aliexpress, but I don’t like aliexpress as I can’t get off the feeling that I will be scammed if I shop there,...
Most manufacturers have some sort of “outlet” where they sell clearance models, refurbs, returns, etc. I’ve had good luck with Lenovo, Apple, Olympus, and Panasonic. But I wouldn’t say there’s a single storefront or service for all of those, you have to know what you want already.
Honestly, you’re not going to have a lot of luck with recent games. The sandybridge i5’s were great back in the day but their time has come. I had a 2600 for a looong time but it’s been out to pasture for a couple years now.
Check out the “patientgamers” communities, they like to play older games that would run a lot smoother on your hardware.

Canada is great at high-speed rail studies — but not at actually building high-speed rail. So why is it the only country in the developed world considering a new conventional-speed passenger network?...
Exactly. The line connecting London to Kitchener-Waterloo, two cities of a half-million people, spends most of its length doing 50-60km/h because of the lousy rail lines that have been largely un maintained for forty years. What should be a 45 minute ride ends up being over two hours. We can get so much improvement to our system by just fixing the shit we already have, or had fifty years ago.
There is no benefit from this, other than buying votes from right-wing loonies.
Realistically, this is going to kill a lot of queer kids. There will be an age gap between the trans youth over 16 today, and the ones that come up after this is repealed – Not because they were somehow “converted” but simply because a lot of them won’t live to adulthood because the prospect of living through their teens in the wrong skin, with the wrong name, and wearing the wrong clothes is that torturous. This will kill kids.
Used cars are also getting to be insane. Try finding a ~5 year old Camry or Corolla in good shape for for less than 25K (CAD)these days, even the supply of $500 rusted out Crown Vic’s is drying up. I’ve even seen 10+ year old cars going for between 15-20K in my area.
Anecdata: this is also screwing with insurance. My sister got hit in a minor accident, we were sure the car was going to be written off since it’s 7 years old and more than three body panels would be replaced. But, the car had increased in value by $3,000 since she bought it five years ago, so they got to repair and keep it.
Yep. He was a big gamergate guy ten years ago. Perhaps he’s changed his mind and doesn’t feel that way anymore, but he’s never recanted anything from back then. So while he seems to have stuck to his land, and possibly changed his alignment, he’s not changed his attitude.
I’m really into traditional architecture and pre-automobile urban planning. Unfortunately there isn’t a lot of that in North America. I know there are a few, I was wondering if Ontario specifically has any nice villages that fit this description? Preferably not abandoned ones, i am looking for ones still inhabited.
A lot of the “small cities” have a few blocks of “traditional” rural urbanism left intact, but it quickly devolves back to walmart parking lots and gas stations. Off the top of my head, Stratford, St. Marys, Lucan, and Strathroy all have very nice main streets. The closer you get to the 401 corridor the worse things get generally. Honestly, any of those could be quite nice to live in if the inter-city rail service was a bit better and there were grocery stores in the walkable areas.
Not surprised that the Russian rocketry community has been gutted by the war. Combine the ruthless jailing and oppression of scientists (ex. designers of the Kinzhal after it got intercepted) with the current toxic wartime culture and the waves of conscription, and this is what happens. Maybe if they ask nicely they can attach a probe to India’s next lander.
It may not be exactly what you want, but I built something similar with zero “cloud” connectivity using only WLAN to capture and record the video streams to a ZoneMinder box in my closet. I would only recommend this if you have some background in Linux/server admin though.
Some people have the idea that a private business is going to break the law or defy their governments requests for them. That’s completely deluded, nobody would ever open willingly expose themself to that kind of risk. No organization is going to let themselves go on trial for $15/month. It seems we have a binary idea of privacy, when the reality is much more complex.
Over 60 years the cost of taxes to build and maintain a transit system plus fares is an order of magnitude lower than building highway networks, ownership of personal vehicles, insurance, fuel, and rebuilding the road network after 30 years.
The idea that transit is more expensive was a mind trick by the fossil fuel and automotive industries. We’re penny wise and dollar foolish.
