  • This is a reminder for self-hosters to put their apps (and their data) on snapshotting filesystems with automatic, regular snapahots turned on; and fix the app versions to at least the major version, across all containers. This should bring similar disruption to bare minimum and makes recovery always possible, without relying on specific app backup features.

  • You can get it to run at time intervals. E.g. once an hour for 5 minutes. That's not bad on battery for me. I actually have mine once every 24 hours for 30 minutes so it can successfully transfer a few gigs of Signal backups.

  • Poll shows most Canadians support arrival of more Chinese EVs; result reflects broad public support for Canada’s China policy shift: expert

  • 💯 no question.

  • Just like the Murdoch Mysteries episode we watched yesterday, where the local diner's waitress lived in a "vagrant" encampment because the owner refused to pay her more. The early 20th century is back.

  • The poll is by Leger (a well regarded Canadian pollster if unfamiliar) and was cited in numerous Canadian news articles. Like this one. This is just a Chinese outlet reporting on the same poll.

  • US government to fund Maga-aligned think-tanks and charities in Europe

    Jump

  • Yup. The only notable things for me are that it isn't presented as such by the media when the US does it, and what the intended effect of the interference is. In this case bolstering Reform, AfD, etc.

  • What Stops ICE from Snatching People Off Canadian Streets? Very Little

    Jump

  • Aha, so baaically if you get snatched and dragged into the US for suspected violation of US law, the American legal system is okay with it and you have limited avenues to defend yourself. Canada would have to "convince" the US to let you go. In other words, exercise higher caution around ICE than our neighbours do.

  • This is called foreign interference, hybrid warfare.

  • Now this is a real threat that the olirarch class is actually afraid of.

  • United Democracy Project, a super PAC aligned with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, spent almost $2.3 million on television and digital ads, mailers and phone banking to oppose Malinowski, a longtime supporter of Israel and former recipient of money from AIPAC, according to data from the Federal Election Commission.

    It's what you thought it is. Also the razor-thin margin is .7% so not too sharp of a razor.

  • Canada's auto industry plan signals latest pivot away from US

    Jump

  • Keep in mind that the autos optimize for units times profit so they don't necessarily lose money from lower volumes. Ford's net income for example have remained stable since 2023.

  • The numbers don’t lie: The housing crisis is not caused by a supply shortage

    Jump

  • That's a pretty damning argument. I knew most parts of it but never put all of them together like this. Does anyone find anything obviously wrong with it?

    I got tired of overpaying for flights, so I built a free tool for Canadians.

  • Very interesting.

  • Canadians support arrival of more Chinese electric vehicles, poll suggests

    Jump

  • We don't make passenger EVs in Canada. There were plans for starting production by some of the American autos but they all bailed with the arrival of Trump on the scene. After taking Canadian subsidies no less. We also subsidized battery plants that were supposed to feed EV production. Now their future is in question.
