When the US was just helping them (even though they could have done much more), it showed the world that the US and it's allies were unified and willing to defend. That was way more terrifying for any opposing power... Now any opposing power are laughing at what they see about the US. They are now even less afraid than they have ever been since the end of the 2nd world war.

Even the US miraculously elect a acompetent leader for the next president, everyone know they can just wait for the next dumb guy to come in and wreck things up. They've had multiple now, each one dumber than the last, I don't believe Trump is the worst, we can't see the future.

Yes I agree, Carney is just the latest one. We've been electing people that are dismantling everything for decades. The worst part isn't the federal, it's the provincial governments as they are the one who are in charge of most of our social programs. Here in Québec, they've been dismantling health care, social assistance program, infrastructures, education, child care and even one of the thing we're most proud of Hydro-Quebec. Everything so slowly that most of the people thinks its because of the unions or shit like that.

It's maddening to see people complaining about the decay of everything then turn around and elect the same type of people again that brought us there, but in another branding. And the only thing they will say is that they can't elect the alternative as they wear a hoodie... So stupid.

Like my parents, like everyone they were complaining of the last liberal government (which is akin to a conservative party that likes immigrants), so they wanted change. What did they do? They voted for the CAQ which is filled with conservatives and old boomers. The exact same type of people. Now they act surprised as they are not satisfied with them anymore, for the exact same reasons again. Next time they will probably vote for the PQ which has made a turn towards fascistic rethoric. The only alternative is QS, but a few members are anti-capitalists so they are now intelligible in their eyes. Oh and a member one time used to wear hoodies in parliament, that was such news worthy...

We're a bit luckier than in the US as we do have alternatives that are possible to elect, but most people are too dumb to give them a chance. Doesn't help that the whole media apparatus are for the statu quo and demonize the alternatives every chance they can.

Yes it's what's happening here in Canada and it's sickening. But it looks like it's better to blame the left for no reason, so why vote for them? Better keep slowly dismantling everything we collectively built instead!

I work per stack. Each stack can have multiple services/containers. So one db per stack. I usually work with the compose file provided by the app I want to run and they usually provide their database container in those. My persistent data for a stack is in a single folder for every services. For backup, I only have to backup the compose and environment files and also the persistent folder and that's it. Every stack is independent from each other so it's easier to move them from a server to another if I want to use more than one server.

I used to use only one db container for all db. It worked well, until I had a data corruption issue. I had to rollback from a backup for all services that used this db. Then I moved to 1 db per stack and it happened again, but this time, only that stack was impacted, so no big deal. Just did a rollback and everything was fine.

Any government related communication like related to healthcare, driving licence, passport, etc. Insurances still send the physical contract by mail. Financial institutions also send by mail important documents. Most of these could be done electronically, but they are not.

The main issue is that our mail is polluted by all sorts of garbage publicity from different companies. Those should cost way way more to do. That way, we can reduce the need for evey mail delivery person to go to each door like they do now.

Looks like my address will be converted and having known both systems, I much prefer having a mail delivery person come to my home. It's a more personalized relation and he cares about us. It's just not the same with a community mailbox.

I wouldn't say they are for everyone. Personally, I love them. Once I've learned about them, I just saw a better/faster way to use my computer. I use a dynamic tiling window manager, that way I just don't have to think about placing windows, they are placed automatically in a pattern I want. They also can be quite lightweight.

There are many types of window managers, manual tiling, dynamic tiling, scrolling. I even saw a mouse focused WM at some point. In the dynamic tiling there are even more subdivision with the different layouts offered or the different way workspaces are.

I tried a few on X11 before chosing qtile, then moved to Wayland, tried sway, but was more into hyprland which is arguably the most popular one on Wayland. Now I have Niri on my laptop and Mangowm on my desktop. Mango is by far my favourite now. It combines dynamic tiling and scrolling. There are even plans to add manual tiling too. A jack of all trade.

Yeggi, their search is also way better.

This is especially French. In Quebec we have very different insults. Here we could for example say : Ostie de calisse de tabarnak de crisse d'épais de viarge. We can use some of those words as verbs too, like : M'en va t'en crisser une! Or m'en va t'en calisser une. It can also be positive like : ça c'est une calisse de bonne toune! Shouting a "Tabarnak!" Is very satisfying.

The main difference is that French insults are mainly centered around sex. In Quebec it's mainly around religion.

There is a whole article on Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec_French_profanity

I have a surface go 3 and a surface pro 7. I installed Arch on both and also enabled secure boot. Installing Arch works, but wifi on the installation drive doesn't work. I plug in a usb hub with Ethernet and I'm fine after. Enabling secure boot is harder, but it can work.

La qualité est variable chez Canadian Tire. Les prix aussi. Il y a une règle, attendre les spéciaux. Tout revient en spécial assez vite. Après, pour la qualité, ça dépend toujours. J'achète des outils et il y a une bonne différence entre Maximum et Mastercraft. Maximum est souvent garantie à vie aussi. Par exemple, j'ai une paire de pinces qui sont une réplique de knipex, mais à une fraction du prix. Elles sont excellentes et garanties à vie.

Ils ont aussi beaucoup de produits cheap chinois. J'ai un souffleur pour mon compresseur qui ne donne pas la bonne pression, un autre bout qui leak de l'air, peu importe ce que je fais. Bref, pas excellent. Mais ça venait avec un kit pas cher et d'autres bons outils, donc je reste satisfait overall.

While I agree, it surly is not how the CPC sees it. The CPC had an historic participation and only a circonscription had to vote for Pierre. In a way, he was rejected by his constituents, but not by Canada. If it wasn't for the NDP partisans that voted liberals, we probably would have a conservative government. So yeah... I'm not hopeful for the future, next elections might be deceiving.

 

I'm looking for a new light for EUC riding. I currently have a SP36 which I find too big and heavy and also a thrunite TC15 that lacks throw and uses a micro USB that I dislike. A buddy of mine uses a Fenix TK16 v2 and it seems to be a good balance of flood and throw, but I dislike the buttons. I really like the features of my SP36 and the single button.

I need good flood and medium throw in order to see further ahead. I looked at hank lights and I'm quite interrested, but I'm new to all this. Through my research, I think a D1K might be a good format. I saw a few people riding EUC that said the D4Sv2 with XPL-HI is best, but this emitter isn't offered anymore.

What do you suggest?
