Clearly you’re not a fan of the Wakaliwood Ugandan movie Who Killed Captain Alex and its video joker

I strongly believe that the yellow should have all been Canadian. It’s dumb having to drive over Maine when heading to the east coast if you don’t want to go through the US

Wow in Canada you’ll maybe get a letter from your ISP telling you that they got a complaint and that they’re legally obligated to tell you to stop but that’s as far as it’ll go. If you keep torrenting without a VPN, you’ll just receive the same letter again but they don’t actually care

I frequently think about owning and working a small farm a short walk away from a quaint medieval village where everyone knows each other. I’m not really sure what country or even specific time period that’d be in and I know I’m probably romanticising it significantly but life would have been so much simpler

I hated everything about this monument as someone who lives in the city but now I’m proud of it

I’ve never actually lived alone. I started dating my now wife just out of High School and we both moved in together after a few years since we were going to the same post secondary school. We’ve been living together since.

I feel very lucky for a bunch of reasons but one of those is that neither of us has had to have roommates since it’s impossible to live alone in my city unless you’re making well above minimum wage

Edit: I guess if the question is when did I start living independently, it’d be when I was 19 or 20 depending on what you’d consider living independently. I lived with my partner in my grandparents’ basement for a year cooking our own food, getting groceries, etc but then moved into our own apartment the next year

Lol I’ve never heard that term but it actually does kind of work. Auth is something that is very standardised with it’s communication between the FE and BE so the login flow could be compared to a ceremony. Kind of a silly way to describe it though

I’ve never used Synology stuff but it could be future proofing or a default feature of the authentication service/provider they’re using (if they are using one).

For a NAS, it actually seems like something corporate customers would very much want to have SSO support for so I’d actually be surprised if there wasn’t some way to set it up already

I’m guessing a step in where they have to step over the side of the bath tub

Ah, yeah that’s fair. I’m on a few but primarily use TorrentLeech which is more relaxed about things. To be honest though, torrents are my fallback anyway and most of my downloads are done via Usenet

Yeah I see the same thing and I self host a seedbox that has hundreds of seeding torrents. Some torrents do get some seeding action but most never upload anything. Never figured out why but some private trackers give you points towards your up/down ratio the longer you seed so I just roll with that ¯\(ツ)/¯

I didn’t even realise phone locking was still a thing

Yeah, I totally get you. Things aren’t great right now 🥲

I want the Epstein files released too but idk how I feel about this being posted on things like this since its setting up for an invasion of a sovereign country, likely to cause uncountable innocent deaths. Not to mention the fact that this also sets a pretext for our country being invaded as well (I see you’re also a .ca’er)

They’re also a nazi bar

There won’t be an explicit decision to up and leave to create a new city, don’t get me wrong. What I expect is that these cities will continue to make the cheapest, politically convenient attempts at solving the issue which will only lead to it being more and more expensive to live there comfortably. People will naturally leave to other neighbouring cities or towns that are in less of a dire situation

Water is not that expensive even shipped

Not right now but as it becomes scarce in the area, that cost will go up exponentially. As the cost rises, people who can’t afford it will start leaving - lowering the incentive to ship water out that way (a smaller market). That further pushes up the cost forcing more people to leave until it snowballs into a ghost city

The problem repeatedly seems to come down to a decision of “cost now, money saved later” versus “money saved now, much bigger cost later”.

The choice always seems to be the latter
