Depends on what you're using it for. Fedora's release ver upgrades are fairly seamless. Just a big dnf update really.

Meanwhile I have a bunch of servers stuck on CentOS 7 that are going to need to be completely rebuilt by next summer. I'm also limited by them because the pdf generator I use requires a version of libpango that was released in 2019 and EL7 is stuck on the 2018 version.

I switched from Rocky to Fedora Server because I was sick of running into compatibility issues with dependencies that exist in the Fedora repo and not EL.

Specifically postgres. One of the projects requires postgis and gdal, which are in the Fedora community repo, but I have to use the official postgres repo on Rocky and the people that maintain those repos are literally incompetent. They have an automated script that generates all of the packages and they can't even be bothered to double check that the packages are built against the correct version of postgres, so your install will fail because a PG14 package is looking for a dependency that only exists in the PG11, PG12, and PG15 repo.

I pay $10/month for copilot because it saves me a lot more than $10 in time not spent typing out boilerplate or searching through garbage documentation.

It frees up my mind to focus on the actual software architecture instead of the quirks of the language.

My Reddit usage is highly correlated with whether or not I'm at my desk.

I feel like I need to wash my hands after opening the official Reddit app on my phone.

At least it's only the off site resources. As someone who works with credit card processing online and has to deal with BIN attacks those proxy IPs would get banned pretty quickly both by us and the credit card processor. We already have issues with people using free proxies.

I find it fascinating. You could play bingo with those people's profiles.

The squares would be something like:

  • fuck Trudeau
  • Jordan Peterson
  • WEF conspiracies
  • fuck Danielle Smith
  • retweets Pollievere
  • lines in AB (free space)

Protest laws generally revolve around the right to peacefully assemble. If the stated intention of your 'protest' is to block traffic and cause gridlock then that falls to meet the definition of 'peaceful', as it puts public safety at risk.

One of the linked articles quotes the Essex police who mention that one of the people impacted was a pregnant woman in medical distress, unable to receive medical care due to the actions of these 'protestors'. I would imagine there were dozens of similar incidents over the 37 hours they held the city hostage.

Remember when Google said that if the result you wanted wasn't on the first page that they had failed?

The problem is the first page is now 2 sponsored links, a widget suggesting 10 YouTube videos, 5 search results for a related search, and two actual search results for the thing you are looking for.

We almost need a browser widget that appends &page=2 to any google search result.

My mortgage payment plus property taxes is less than the going rental rate for an equivalent 3br suite, and I bought last year.

The thing that convinced me is that my mortgage payment stays the same every year while everything else goes up with inflation, including my salary.

We'll see where we're at when it's time to renew in 4 years but the way things are going even if it costs me an extra $1000/month I'm still probably coming out ahead.

Could be an RCE exploit. Doesn't matter if it's privilege escalation at that point because it can be used to execute a payload that can.

A good chunk of both my TikTok and YouTube feed is already Canadian content creators.

It's in their best interest to promote local results because they tend to be more engaging.

I doubt any of the social media platforms will have to change anything, and the streaming services already have CanCon sections.

Because all of the other retailers do the same shit only with higher prices. Here in Canada they don't pay their employees any less than the competition, yet their prices are 30-40% cheaper on average.

That extra 40% doesn't result in better working conditions for the employees, it goes directly to the shareholders and bonuses for the C-suite.

I respect the hell out of Walmart because they actually keep their price increases tied to inflation and aren't out there trying to sell a loaf of poverty white bread for $5 or a pack of 4 chicken breasts for $37.

They should release virus trading cards. Get vaccinated to receive a booster pack with the various variants and a chance to get limited edition numbered runs.
