They’ve now had nomad-native services without consul for a while, including health checks!

While I sympathize with the issue and have experienced similar problems with classical music, I found the listing of composers and the holier-than-thou attitude (because “pop is bad”) grating and soured the rest of the post.

In the Canadian university lingo, co-op refers to a (usually paid) internship that you complete as part of your degree. You usually have a couple co-op terms/semesters along with your traditional terms. For example, you may start your degree with two semesters of classes, then a semester of co-op, then one of classes, then another two co-ops, more classes, etc. until you complete the degree requirements. Degrees with a co-op requirement usually will make mention of it (e.g. Software Engineering with co-op).

If not using something like bind, but willing to run a dedicated dns server for acme challenges, acmedns offers something similar. When you generate a new account, it gets given a unique subdomain. You then cname the challenge domain to the acmedns subdomain and the account can only affect the associated subdomain.

Curl always requires -L to follow redirects.

I’ve seen them in stores in Canada, but they’re usually more expensive than the 454g blocks. Expensive enough that it’s usually better to buy the block and portion it as needed.

Some people I know are building a similar system, watching for the printers that parking attendants carry to issue tickets. When they see one of those nearby, it starts the clock so that they move their car before the time expires.

Anything that ends in .gov is related to a government entity in the US. Other countries don’t get access to that TLD.

Where it’s the law for the lodging provides to have a copy of ID, you either consent to have them make a copy of your ID or you don’t get a place to stay. You don’t get to not consent and also get a place to stay.

Canadian numbers too (and potentially anything in the NANP).

Parcels are not mail. Parcels are the boxes of stuff that people order.

While spam funds a lot of the postal service, it allows it to price mail lower than the true cost of delivering mail across the country.

Wasn’t there a study that identified that college educated individuals are more likely to be Democrats? Most US government jobs require a college degree (or higher), so it wouldn’t be surprising to see that population match the findings in the general population?

Additionally, the republican image typically espouses the idea of private industry and private capital more so than the democrats, where public service takes a bigger role. If people already identified with a given ideology, it’s likely that their career choice would reflect that.

Finally, one’s political leanings aren’t being used to determine if they should be hired.

But naming your kids to positions of power because they’re your kids is nepotism.

They also partner with transit agencies where the transit agencies pays them to upgrade everyone in the region/system to the premium offering, and the transit app becomes the official app for that transit agency.

Likely the second one, things like “take that container and drop it off on that truck, but don’t log it”

I’ve experienced the situation where my partner gets lower rates than I do on nearly all ride sharing apps. We’ll open the app at the same time, from the same place, heading to the same destination, and mine will be at least 10% higher. We have very similar ratings.

There’s a burger chain called The Works that accepts (or at least used to) Canadian Tire money for one of their burgers. The burger is called the Crappy Tire, which is a nickname for Canadian Tire.

Proxmox puts the VM configuration information in a SQLite database and exposes it through a FUSE file system. It even gets replicated across the cluster using their replication algorithm. It’s a bespoke implementation, but it’s a SQLite-backed filesystem.

There’s actually a ton of interference in the 2.4 GHz space, especially at venues like outdoor festivals. However your solution does work. I work at a festival that provides a WiFi network and an Ethernet drop for the ticket scanners. We have to use multiple APs to cover the main entrance area, but it’s feasible.

I switched my home lab to nomad, which I find much easier to wrangle, but we’ll see what happens with the IBM acquisition.

Another hypothetical: your isp zero rates the news sites with a given political leaning, but not yours. Reading the news that they want you to costs nothing, whereas reading the news that you want, or getting an alternative perspective on a story costs you something.

Mostly to have a hazmat route around the city (HAZMAT trucks aren’t allowed in the tunnels) and because bridges are cheaper than tunnels. They needed a third crossing because the traffic warranted it.

Many Logitech peripherals have Turing-complete chips (ARM processors), but no one is claiming that my mouse is a general purpose computing devices.

Apple is selling a system made of a combination of hardware they make and the software running on top of it.

It has a live migration feature so I’m going to go with yes.

Some things like car insurance are a legally mandated purchase from a private business.

Heinz US also does a “simply” ketchup with sugar instead of HGCS and no artificial dyes, and when you compare ingredient lists, that same “specialty” ketchup is the one that’s sold as regular ketchup in Canada.

I wonder what additives are currently in good that we’ll discover to be harmful in the future.

Also interesting that Heinz’s ketchup (in be the US) is now full of high fructose corn syrup and artificial food dyes, when (from the article) it started as the better/safer/more natural option.

My office switched to a cloud-hosted network proxy appliance for our internet access. We now get "access blocked" from dozens of websites, including from reddit, simply because the "edge" ip address is technically from a netblock assigned to a data centre.

I think that all employers are now required to input the T4/remuneration information in a way that CRA can machine-process it, which allows them to make it available to third-party systems like TurboTax or SimpleTax.

But yeah, for the large majority of us, having the option to skip TurboTax and just use a pre-filled, government generated tax return would be great.

The whole point of the equalization payments is to level the playing field regarding the budget of provinces. The formula has to do with the amount of provincial taxation that a province charges its residents versus the rest of Canada. Given that the Quebec income taxes are higher, the province receives transfer payments. Some of the Federal income tax that Quebec residents pay ends up going to the province, so it's not just coming out of the income tax of non-quebec residents.
