  • Bear spray is very effective, probably more so than a gun

    No doubt bear spray is effective but there is always a chance the predator does not give a shit and is hungry enough to fight through it.

    As a European that just shakes his head about Muricas love for kill tools, you don't need a gun as average person.

    I’m not too sure on Europe’s hunting history however, a lot Canadians still hunt for meat and resources, it’s tradition to a lot of people and has been rooted into our history.

    And certain people ultimately have no choice, they live or work so deep in Canada that getting a grocery store can be hours away.

    I sometimes think you're stuck in the middle age or wild western or something like that...

    Everyone has different lives man, I’m sure there are things in your life that others could not relate to.

  • Are you going to gamble your life with just a shotgun?

    If it were a life or death situation and I had to pick between bear spray, bear bangers or a 3” slug traveling at 1000 feet per second I will take the slug every time.

    because you didn't actually need your firearms, since you didn't use them, at least not as firearms.

    I fail to understand how you came to this conclusion, firearms serve multiple purpose and in our situation they were to ward off predators which they worked beautifully for such task.

  • Deterrence is not a replacement for defence.

    If you’re facing a predator that is larger than you are you going to gamble with your life with just bear spray and bear bangers?

  • I never said that, not that it matters as it would have been self defence even if we had, but to satisfy your need we had shot away from the bears solely to make noise as a show of force and presence.

    Not an uncommon practice hence why bear bangers exist.

  • No, but I certainly camp in such regions frequent enough where such a threat is serious. Hell last time I camped 40ish kilometres up a trail (crown land) with some friends and heard bears most of our night.

    And yes, we got the fuck outta there quite quick but if we didn’t have our firearms things could’ve gone ugly.

  • Varmint hunting involves firearms.

    Varmint hunting or varminting is the practice of hunting vermin — generally small/medium-sized wild mammals or birds — as a means of pest control, rather than as games for food or trophy.

    The term "varminter" may refer to a varmint hunter, or describe the hunting equipments (such as a varmint rifle) either specifically designed or coincidentally suitable for the practice of varmint hunting.

    Edit: Just going to add that if our Wildlife Conservation Officers believe the use of these now prohibited rifles is the best defence against a grizzly bear than shouldn’t we have access to these same tools?

  • Cars should be much more heavily regulated, IMO.

    We can agree to disagree on this sentiment here, licensed firearms owners receive a daily background check by the RCMP whereas those who have a drivers license do not, the only time a person with drivers license gets a background check is when they’re pulled over and checked by a cop.

    they have escaped outright bans because they serve a clearly important purpose that's beneficial to society. A gun doesn't.

    So you’re saying farmers who defend their property from varmints don’t serve a purpose to society? How about folks up north in research stations typically in polar bear territory? How about people who simply enjoy forest camping and want a means of defence against a predator?

    Firearms certainly serve a purpose to society.

  • Cars are just as deadly as firearms however, we aren’t going and saying Red Honda Civics cause a larger percentage of fatality rates so we’re just going to ban them.

    It makes no sense just like how our current government has decided to ban hundreds of thousands of firearms based on appearance and not function.

    And while people bicker about licensed firearm owners statistically speaking majority of firearm related crime in Canada is caused by illegal firearms that are typically smuggled in, shouldn’t our resources not focus on the root cause of the issues we face?

  • Meanwhile, Canada has slowly been tightening already fairly restrictive gun laws.

    Tightening them for no good reason, the whole kick-off for the “buyback” program was the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting which wasn’t caused by someone who had a possession and acquisition license or had legally obtained their firearms.

    It’s been 6 years on now and firearms owners are on the edge of their seats because the government intends to criminalize hundreds of thousands of people by the end of October.

    Everyone knows licensed firearm owners are not to blame for what happened in 2020 hence the major pushback from provinces, police organizations and firearm owners.

  • Geo-distributed Jellyfin

    Jump

  • You don’t necessarily have to host another Jellyfin instance, I would find a server somewhere in-between the middle of your current Europe server and your Asian homies and setup a reverse proxy there and point it to your current Jellyfin instance.

    The only hassle with this is you’re going to need a way to expose your Eu Jellyfin to the new server, a VPN would prevent port forwarding 443, perhaps split tunneling?

    Not the most elegant solution but at least this way you can make an attempt at optimizing the connection.

    Edit - (if you wanted to go the second Jellyfin instance route): Could also copy your current database to the second server, host a second Jellyfin instance and have something like sshfs or sftp sharing the directory to your media library, reverse proxy it as something like asia-jellyfin.your.domain and keep it separated from your Eu server.

  • This software is more meant to be ran in a server environment, it’s suppose to be a replacement to subscription based photo/video cloud storage. I would not recommend you run this on a desktop you use daily as it’ll consume resources in the background slowing your desktop down, this is kinda why NAS storage systems exist.

    Once you get a grasp on the BASH shell I would suggest playing around with docker and docker compose in a headless environment (headless = no desktop environment, shell only) as there are loads of applications you can self-host over your network.
