But again, how is that any different to me, as a Canadian, than an American social media company?

All of that is still true.

All the US companies have kissed the ring and are bowing to facsim.

Western social media still has its own agenda. And it's not human Rights either.

My only thought is there's an Amazon fulfillment centre there for Calgary and area, but like, Calgary is still one hell of a random Canadian place to put you.

As someone from near by to Balzac, that is one hell of an abscure place to put you. I think theres exactly 10 people that live there and there's some giant malls. That's about it.

I just looked on wiki and it says population 1 person.

That's... Not actually a reasonse to what was said?

Sure, that's all fine and dandy. But it doesn't change the point that was being made.

The election happened. Here and now, Russia and China tracking me is no different than the US. They're all authoritarian governments hell bent on stripping rights away.

Now I'm not the same person you replied to. I'm in Canada, so I'm weary of all of them. But if I was in the states, I'd RATHER give my data to an advisory that won't do much with it. As apposed to the current government hellbent on making life for me and my trans siblings as hard and difficult as possible.

Foreign ownership is just a thing. You don't need a residence to own anything. Same here in Canada.

From there, you get 6 months visitors visas every year.

Just admit your not accepting proof.

You took someone's proof, and just stuck your head in the sand without actually addressing anything.

That's what makes this bad faith. It has nothing to do with smarts.

But thata exactly the point. Your not willing to accept any proof. So why should someone bother?

It's bad faith arguing.

I know exactly what proof it'd take to convince me the world is flat. And it's a simple explanation for all current observable effects.

No one has yet.

So asking for proof, AND setting the bar of that I'd accept is part of the burden of proof.

It's also a bad faith question to prove someone's thoughts.

Let me ask you this, what proof would you accept?

Not the person your arguing with.

So instead of going "I should also get these benefits as well, I should fight for them" you go "no it's the other workers who are wrong to have more benefits".

Interesting.

I have yet to hear anyone irl that identifies as left that actually wants to hear what the right has to say.

Right now it's all hate and bigotry. Which has no place in society as far as I'm concerned.

The only people I've seen concerned with people Hering out the right, are people on the right. "Centrists" are just right wing sympathizers.

So yes, I don't think they're actually left leaning.

I agree with the comment your replying to. It's very fellow kids. It's not how most people on the left talk.

Note: not the person you replied to.

Ubisoft isn't the victim here, consumers buying broken games are.

 

Happy new years!

One of my personal goals is to secure the data of me and my community from data scraping as much as I can. I've also learned a ton from blog posts on how to host software, and it's time I contribute back.

So, welcome to my series on how I host my services with as little dependency on US-based services as I can.

I'd love feedback on my writing so I can learn and improve as well!

 

So I'm looking to purchase a house soon, and before I paint I want to set up wiring in the house for a cloud-free smart home.

I currently rent an apartment. I have a home server running unraid with home assistant, and can run whatever server software I want to run. I'm looking at upgrading to a townhouse. Before I have someone come in and paint, I want to wire things for my ideal smart home.

My main focus will be networking and speakers.

I want to set up a server closet for my lab. I plan to get mikrotik switches. I currently plan on using tp-link omada APs for each floor.

I'm less confident in the speaker setup.

System Audio Inputs:

  • TV in living room
  • TV in bedroom
  • Computer in office
  • Computer in bedroom#2
  • Any mobile device

audio out:

  • Living room
  • office
  • bedroom (x2)
  • kitchen
  • primary bathroom

I'm imagining having a receiver for all the TV inputs/outputs and a central one for the bathroom, kitchen. I'm unsure about the office.

Cost is not a problem, I'm okay with 10-15k on the equipment for this.

What kind of amps/receivers would work best?

 

So I’m looking to spend money on a new TV and audio setup.

I have two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, an office, and two bathrooms that I’d like to fit with speakers. I do rent so I do need wireless.

For the TV in the living room and one bedroom I want a sound bar, but am planning for bookshelf style speakers for the rest of the rooms. I live in apartment building so I want to avoid a subwoofer. There’s decent sound proofing though, and I don’t plan on cranking the volume for any of these.

I want to be able to combine any rooms with each other and play music from any tv or Spotify.

Im currently looking at Sonos systems, but want to consider something more self hosted.

I wouldn’t know where to start looking for good systems. I imagine music assistant would handle the logic of what I need, but no clue on speakers and amplifiers.

Any ideas?
