U.S. wine exports to Canada have fallen off a cliff in c/buycanadian@lemmy.ca
[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 21 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

BC here. We’ve stopped buying American wine though that wasn’t a common occurrence anyway. Now we’re buying primarily BC wines, with some imported from countries that aren’t America.

I wonder which members of the GOP personally profited from these being built.

Amazon deploys its one millionth robot, releases generative AI model in c/technology@lemmy.world

I wonder if Amazon delivered it. Was the box five times too big and mostly empty; was the box dented and crushed; was it half sealed; was it stolen by porch pirates….

I’m also using SFTPGo at home and it works well.

Are we sure his first name isn’t Richard?

I’m surprised he isn’t already using “Supreme Leader” at the end of his posts.

I guess some trucks need to idle their engine to keep the refrigerator running so food doesn’t spoil?

The NRA are probably preparing a statement “see, we told you arming churches works. Now we should arm schools”.

Post this on Nostr and wait for the backlash.

I must have missed the previous announcement about where the tower will be installed in Nanoose Bay.

Hybrid or small turbo 4 cylinder for hilly neighbourhoods? (lemmy.ca)
 

While touring a bunch of hilly neighbourhoods, driving up and down tiny, steep hills with sharp corners, this question popped into my mind. Which is better for this kind of driving, a hybrid or a smallish (e.g. 1.5L) turbo 4 cylinder?

They both have low end torque, though the hybrid's torque may come on sooner. The hybrid also has regen braking that can reduce heat buildup in the brakes. The hybrid may be a bit heavier due to the battery and additional hardware.

Would steep inclines put a strain on the turbo and reduce its life span? I know nothing about car mechanicals, so I really don't know if that's possible or not.

The hybrid seems to make more sense. 🤷

Any thoughts?

Anyone familiar with SFTPGo? (lemmy.ca)
 

I’m trying to set up a group so multiple users can share a folder. I created the group and a folder for it but I’m not what paths I should use for both. The result is that the user can see the group folder in the web UI but an error occurs after clicking on it:

“Failed to get directory listing: Unable to get directory contents"

Thanks

Bit of a long shot, but are there any in person ASL (sign language) courses in #barrhaven or perhaps south west #ottawa?

Best chipset for Linux laptop, Intel or AMD? (lemmy.ca)
 

I’m considering picking up a cheapish laptop for development, with the intent of installing Linux on it. Typically it’ll be Java development or other stuff in docket containers. Is there a best chipset to pick for Linux or are they pretty much identical these days?

Ghostery browser and android? (lemmy.ca)
 

I was looking at browsers in the Play store and saw the Ghostery browser. It's now apparently based on Firefox, and I assume the Ghostery (plugin/extension) functionality is built in. Does it protect privacy better than other browsers and is it worth trying out? I currently use Firefox on android but I detest it's UI decisions. I've no idea if Ghostery has a different UI or not.

Self hosted video chat (lemmy.ca)
 

If I self host some kind of private video chat service, is the video data transferred direct from connected peer to peer? Does it go through the self hosted service instance? Or does that depend on which video server is used?
