I self-host my own Forgejo and it's great for me and I feel way more comfortable with my own code self-hosted (especially the private repos), but I do miss the community aspect of places like Github. Federation like drspod suggested would be a great feature to add to Forgejo and I'm looking forward to it.

The United States of Canada has a better sound to it than the 51st state if you ask me.

I guess they ran out of Public Integrity to report on, there's none left.

I appreciate your attempt to engage in good faith, but no, my question was very rhetorical. I am not really interested in discussing any answers to that question that neither you nor I would support. If you do have an argument to make, feel free to do so. I may or may not respond. But in case my own point's not clear, I think most of the opposition to solar panels comes from disingenuous efforts by companies with a financial interest in fossil-fuel, and I think they try to cast it in as negative a light as they possibly can, and I don't think their perspective is even worth considering as they continue their ghastly sprint to destroy the future of life on this planet so they can earn money.

Why is this always worded in such a shitty way that makes it sound like a bad thing. "swamps the grid" "overwhelming the region" "prices slumping". Fuck all the "energy companies" and their bought politicians and journalists who think or at least talk this way.

Here let me fix it for you: "France now has abundant solar energy, providing free electricity to all homes and businesses that want it, while plenty of solar capacity remains in reserve, available for meeting increased demands or storing for later or night-time use by refilling hydroelectric reservoirs"

Yes please. Happy to see the Green Party putting out some solid ideas.

Savage, but well-deserved. Nice work!

Yeah Carney's pretty unequivocal support of this guy was a big blunder and significantly eroded my confidence in him. Fortunately for Carney, he's still the leader I'm most confident in, but that's only because he had such a strong start and because he's up against such uninspiring and unpleasant alternatives. It's not because he's playing his cards particularly well. If this election is going to continue to devolve into picking the least worst candidates, I may yet change my mind.

Who would've ever thought we would've ever needed something like this. I am glad my veteran father never lived to see this happen, it would've broken him. This is what he fought against.

Reminds me of Peter Kormos. Like Peter Kormos, was also shunned by the established NDP. I can't help but think if he had won the leadership instead of Jagmeet Singh it would've been a really interesting time.

Celebrity culture is gross, but if you're going to watch that nonsense I agree Canadian is better (and somewhat less gross) than American.

I've got plenty, if the Americans invade, I'll share.

 

I don't like the weight or fragility of huge tempered glass side panels which seems to be the default for any case that is over $100... plexiglass/acrylic and some RGB are acceptable although honestly the aesthetics are pretty much irrelevant and I don't need them. I don't want a "cheap" case either. I've cut enough fingers on poorly finished steel rattle-trap boxes and I really can't stand them.

Enough about what I don't want though. What I DO want is a case that's focused on practical features, good airflow, quiet, well-made, easy to build in, roomy without being absurdly enormous, not too unconventionally laid out so that wires will reach while allowing good cable management -- basically, something that was designed thoughtfully.

My current case is a Corsair 900D and other than the fact that it's way bigger than I'd like, I'm generally pretty happy with it, but I'm not sure what else is out there that would even be comparable, Corsair seems to have gone to tempered glass in all their larger cases and I'm not very familiar with all the other manufacturers out there nowadays.
