Hello tech folks! This is perhaps a bit of an edge case for a residential setup, and maybe more along some commercial ones, but I am moving to a cabin in the woods. In these woods, there's a meadow of a few acres in which our cabin, a separate building that will be my wife's office, and a greenhouse are located. Due to the national forest networking, we have fantastic, symmetrical fiber optic internet service.

The "office" building is about 85 feet from the main cabin, just slightly above it, elevation wise. The greenhouse is about 125 feet away, and up maybe 40 feet in elevation.

I've twisted myself in knots trying to decide what outdoor unit to deploy at the main cabin. We already have a pole that currently has an old antenna, with coax coming off, doing nothing. I don't think it ever did anything down at the bottom of the valley it's in. I think that was a wishful thinking deployment by someone back in the day.

My thought, as a noob here, was something like a Ubiquiti U6 mesh with indoor APs in the indoor spaces. I'm running a Firewalla as a router, and would like to set up some VLANs.

Am I way off here thinking that a residential-type solution will work for me here? I just don't have the real world experience here to know if I'm researching the right path or not.

@BE the pole will definitely help squeeze out every last bit of range. I tend to overspec range, too, though it doesn't seem they've got a wifi 6 version of their max range outdoor AP.

Could also get the kids building cantennas 👌

Ok, so back to these new bare trust rules.

Something just feels wrong about how this is rolling out. It’s convoluted and unclear, and having asked the CRA and been told to seek the advice of a tax attorney it all seems wrong.

Journalists thankfully have written a few peices that in combination with the CRA docs can make some sense for the average person.

With these there pages you’d be well on your way in understanding the new requirements.

You can survive a metal pole being blown through your frontal lobe, giving you severe Aphasia.

You can even nearly completely recover from it. (Sort of; plasticity)

Still, I'd recommend not having a metal pole blown through your head, and if you gotta do it, do it only 1x.💀

Wife called CRA this morning wanting to clarify new rules and use a couple accounts as an example.

Went about as well as you would think.

  1. using this example do we need to report. Ans: I cannot comment
  2. is there someone at CRA that can answer this question. Ans: No

You need to hire a tax lawyer or accountant.

🤬🤬

The information out there is even the most innocent joint accounts, say birthday money for kids might need to be reported.

You can’t tell me you won’t answer the question and that I need to spend several hundred dollars to find out and non-compliance can be fines of thousands.

@maleve Someone suggested this is perhaps prelude to an estate tax? Like you said, govt should already have all the details of all the bank accounts and who has access, but maybe it's easier for them to have taxpayers collect and submit all this data to CRA -- save em a bunch of work.

Why has the messaging changed to "it's fine to be infectious in public"? With the disparate variant soup out there and the immune evasiveness SARS-CoV-2's gaining, the time between reinfections continues to drop and the bosses know full well what that means for TheEconomy™

> Among 1900 recruited, a total of 995 participants completed the trial. No participants had clinical deterioration by day 9, 14, or 28 days among those treated with fluvoxamine plus bromhexine (0%), fluvoxamine plus cyproheptadine (0%), or niclosamide plus bromhexine (0%). Nine participants (5.6%) in the fluvoxamine arm had clinical deterioration by day 28, requiring low-flow oxygen. In contrast, most standard care arm participants had clinical deterioration by 9, 14, and 28 days.

> No deaths occurred in any study group. Compared to standard care, participants treated with the combination agents had significantly decreased viral loads as early as day 3 of treatment (p < 0.0001), decreased levels of serum cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) as early as day 5 of treatment, and interleukin-8 (IL-8) by day 7 of treatment (p < 0.0001) and lower incidence of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) symptoms (p < 0.0001).

> Early treatment with these combinations among outpatients diagnosed with COVID-19 was associated with lower likelihood of clinical deterioration, and with significant and rapid reduction in the viral load and serum cytokines, and with lower burden of PASC symptoms. When started very soon after symptom onset, these repurposed drugs have high potential to prevent clinical deterioration and death in vaccinated and unvaccinated COVID-19 patients.

@mcnado I suggest reading threads by the various authors, several of whom I've got years of history with and have come to trust over the course of the pandemic thus far. If there turn out to be issues with the study that peer review didn't catch, I've no doubt they'll address it.

I’m really enjoying the new justification developing for “meh, you’ll all die anyway”

old version: precautions are imperfect, so no covid precautions, most infections don’t result in death or disability, therefore mild, and long covid might be serious but there’s no fix, so best just not to determine whether symptoms are related, and not everyone gets it anyway, like 1/20 to 1/5 each infection, at least the first time they get covid, and since no one else is treating this seriously, it must not be serious and you can’t avoid it forever so why try to avoid it at all, sure it’s cumulative damage but if i really thought about this maybe i’d have to wear a mask and that’s uncomfortable, so clearly i shouldn’t, and since i shouldn’t, it must be over, and everyone must be having all these clots due to learning loss, amen.

new version: other viruses have post-viral syndromes associated, and since we didn’t do anything about that before we understood it, even though lots of people did and said avoid infection and everything is airborne, that doesn’t count because i didn’t learn that as a kid, and my doctor doesn’t know it because if they did they’d be embarrassed to wear a mask, so therefore it must be wrong, and maybe some pointy headed nerd knows how to avoid this but i don’t, except with the simple cheap interventions being suggested, that would reduce viral spread overall and therefore post viral syndromes, but the people suggesting all this sound crazy because they’re wearing masks and the cdc doesn’t say it’s an issue, and surely they’d say something if there was something, and so the crazy mask people must not know what they’re talking about, so maybe this IS just the flu and even if the flu also disables people, it would be super depressing to think of all the infections i could’ve avoided in the past, so post viral syndromes are just part of life, and it’s all the same and see we told you it was just something to live with and get used to, and life is risk and what are you gonna do, just never leave the house?, so probably best to go ahead and get it because covid isn’t unique
