On top of that, you have somebody else cutting in to add highly specific details about certain rule exceptions, and somebody else who can't stop talking about the last time they played.

Maybe that's what we all need right now in our journalling

For remote management, I just enable SSH, configure it to run on some non-standard port and enable Fail2ban... Make sure I use certificates or secure passwords and also check if fail2ban is actually doing its job. Never had any issues with that setup.

This is what I've done for years, but I sometimes feel like it's not a great solution from a security standpoint.
Though I have switched from fail2ban to Crowdsec, which did end up banning my own connection attempts when I forgot to whitelist myself, so that seems secure enough.

I live right on the corner of a 50km/h collector street and the noise is terribly distracting. Not counting any of the souped up racing bikes or modded straight piped track cars that zip past, from my back yard you can hear the road noise from the traffic coming well before it actually arrives.

OK but it's up to the owner to decide on what tires they want on their car. These same quiet tires can be put onto an ICE car, and the same cheap and loud all seasons you get at the corner tire shop can go on an EV. I live in a winter city and you better believe if I owned an EV it would be wearing studded tires which are obnoxiously loud regardless of the engine.

Can't we agree that cars are loud and it would be better to get them out of our cities so we can walk and bike in peace?

The dishwasher never fills up as quickly as when you've finally worked up the motivation to properly empty it.

It's worse. Parking stalls take up extremely valuable land area that could be used to build on instead. The developers believe that they can fill a 44 unit apartment building with only 12 parking spaces, which is only 1 space for nearly every 4 units. Most parking bylaws I've seen require 1.5 parking spaces per unit, which means this building would need at least 66 spaces by law; so many that they would occupy the same land needed for the actual building that the spaces are serving. This is urban infill, but the arguments against the parking variance sound as though we're talking about a property on the edge of the city. Minimum parking requirements set an arbitrary upper limit on how many units you can build on a given parcel as they fight for every square meter.

I'm confused, are we on the same side or not? Cars are cars, just because they have a battery doesn't make them any better for us. A Toyota RAV4 makes the same amount of road noise as a Hyundai Ioniq 9

This is the truth. It isn't the fake scifi noises you should be annoyed with, any car going faster than 30-50km/h will sound exactly the same due to road noise from the tires.

Well it's below 50,000 now so it must be time to panic

A good budget won't tell you how not to spend your money, it should tell you how you can spend your money.

People hear the word budget and think it means tightening the belt and cutting back but that doesn't have to be the case. Your income doesn't change when you go on a budget so all you're gaining is clarity as to where your money is going.

I remember when 2015 was going to be the last election under FPTP 🤦
