  • Public safety minister defends gun buyback program after pilot sees low uptake

    Jump

  • I'm really starting to doubt Canada's gun laws and their impact on gun elated crimes.

    Regulations work, there is no doubt about that otherwise we would be looking a whole lot like the US right now.

    I'm thinking maybe Canadians with guns might not be such a bad idea.

    There are 2.3 Million of us! if you’re Canadian and never seen, heard, held or shot a firearm I highly suggest trying it once at a local firing range where you can be shown safe handling.

  • Public safety minister defends gun buyback program after pilot sees low uptake

    Jump

  • Something worth noting -

    Since 2020 Ottawa has banned some 2,500 types of firearms. The government has argued the makes and models on its list are for warfare — not hunters and sport shooters.

    If these are weapons of warfare then why aren’t we sending the CAF into battle with .22Lr semiautomatic rifles with magazines pinned to 10 rounds?

    For those not familiar with the different types of firearm calibers see the image below, essentially a .22Lr is for plinking pop cans and teaching beginners on how firearms operate safely, no sane person will say a .22Lr is meant for warfare.

    Anandasangaree maintained the pilot wasn't about "quantitative" results.

    Isn’t this the whole point of the program? To get “guns off our streets”?

  • Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app

    Jump

  • Installed Dolphin on my work desktop which runs Win11, definitely not meant for Windows as certain functions like searching or dragging and dropping don’t work, at least it’s 1 step close to making windows slightly more bearable.

  • Federal government confirms 25 guns collected in 'buyback' pilot, as Quebec pledges support

    Jump

  • Apologies, I am going to assume this is a topic you’re not very well familiar with. This whole entire program is for Quebec, more specifically pushed by PolySeSouvient claiming all licensed firearm owners are the problem for the rise in gun related crime, not the firearms that are illegally sourced, yet 9 times out of 10 crime involving firearms involved illegal firearms.

    Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, Ontario (essentially) and the Yukon have all rejected the program knowing there is no public safety benefit.

  • The streets? They’re in people’s safes and gun cabinets until this situation is sorted. It’s been 5 years now, hundreds of thousands of legally purchased guns they intend to confiscate with little support from the provinces.

  • Anybody out there self hosting Searxing?

    Jump

  • Yup, it works 90% of the time. Happens on all devices so I suspect Searx is just running into an error of some sort. Too lazy to investigate.

  • Anybody out there self hosting Searxing?

    Jump

  • I host my own SearXNG via docker compose, reverse proxied it via Traefik, added a few security headers, restricted access to my country to help prevent abuse.

    Use it daily, the only complaint I really have is it occasionally doesn’t search when you type in the address bar of a browser. What I mean is I’ll type a search query and instead of redirecting to the query (searx.yourdomain.tld/search?q=test) it’ll just redirect to the homepage of my SearXNG instance (searx.yourdomain.tld) forcing me to retype my query. Annoying but not the end of the world.

  • A company that handles pgp for you can be legally compelled to give up the keys.

    Depends on the jurisdiction.

  • Canada hired an ex-Goldman Sachs banker to revive its military. Investors are excited

    Jump

  • Chances are Colt Canada is involved given they’re the “secret” contractor/partner in the governments firearm “buyback” program.

    Wouldn’t shock anyone if they worked up a defence deal at the same time.

  • Installing Debian for the first time. Wish me luck!

    Jump

  • Some specific drivers are a little fiddly if you have nvidia graphics

    Nit-picking here but Nvidia drivers for Debian are ridiculously easy to install? Doc page

    • Prerequisites

     
        
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ trixie main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ trixie-security contrib non-free main non-free-firmware
sudo apt update

    • Install the driver (Trixie)

     
        
sudo apt install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-driver

    • Have an RTX capable GPU?

     
        
sudo apt install libnvoptix1

    Edit: For an Nvidia Optimus Laptop just install envycontrol and set your Nvidia GPU as your primary GPU.

     
        
sudo envycontrol -s nvidia --force-comp --coolbits 24

    Done, easy peasy.

  • Any RPGs that take into account when you reload a save? Or that break the 4th wall like this?

    Jump

  • You ”resurrect” at a spawn tower I guess would be the best way to put it.

    the game has a hierarchy system where you go against different types of warlords, each with their own abilities and weaknesses, if you bring a warlord down to a certain health you can ”infect/command” them and utilize them to go into combat, breach castles or fight other warlords, gather enough warlords and you’ll see them roaming the map and help you if they see you in combat.

    It’s quite a unique mechanic and I’m pretty sure Warner Bro’s copywriten/trademarked it or something along those lines.

    • SH - Bourne Shell,
    • BASH - Bourne Again Shell

    Once you figure those two out Linux becomes ridiculously easy afterwards as those will be your standard shells to use which provide a set list of basic commands like cd, nano, cat, ls, rm and so on, then you want to figure out which package manager your distro uses like Apt, Dpkg, Yum, Pacman so you can install software from their respective repositories.

    Then you figure out which software is Cli (command line) based and which have actual user interfaces, Cli based software will likely introduce new commands to your shells.

  • Home Assistant vs. HomeKit Questions

    Jump

  • I don’t use Home Assistant personally as I also use Apple products, if you read into Homebridge it’s a piece of software that turns smart devices that are not HomeKit enabled devices into HomeKit enabled devices, and enables new functionality to devices that are already HomeKit enabled. Definitely worth considering.

    This was significantly cheaper than converting all my Apple products into android products.

    To quickly spin it up I would suggest reading into Docker and Docker compose, docker takes applications and containerizes them and lets them run over your network.
