There is an S3-compatible object storage https://stormdevelopments.ca/

They're still in their alpha phase. I've used it in my personal projects. So far so good.

If you trade lots of options or international stocks, then IBKR is amazing. However, as you're just leaving your ETFs in your account, Questrade is more than sufficient.

Questrade may have transfer-in bonus. You may consider to wait for it

Wow great opening in the second half for Riders

[–] zhenbo_endle@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

This 1-yard run was quite clean. The best path was selected

As a newbie of CFL: What happened to Roughriders, giving them 1:0 lead at the very beginning?

I'm curious to Animal Crossing's upgrade. The loading time when entering rooms was too long on Switch 1.

Is Ottawa in a thunderstorm now? (Friday night)

Well, it looks like a snow in TSN's broadcasting

Well, who is responsible for the skyrocket rise?

As a long time linux user, I'm happy to see that linux news are being posted in non-tech communities more frequently.

Windows might be the most famous (notorious) vendor-lock in, but migrating from Windows to Linux is more smooth than the stereotype

I’ve been using Linux for more than a decade. Modern Linux is quite easy to start, compared to the old stereotype.

I highly recommend an easy way: for the daily softwares you use, you try to replace them with cross-platform ones, like libreoffice, thunderbird… when you want to try Linux someday, the migration path could be more smooth than you expected

I'm in favour in this change. It provides more flexibility to the commuters. Ar the beginning of December, one doesn't need to calculate if a monthly pass can break even. Just tap and go, and the commute cost is always capped

 

I'm a Toronto resident planning my first trip to NB/NS. I tried to lookup for car rental services in early August, but the rental companies are either sold out, or providing rocket-high price (200+ cad pre tax)

I'm curious that, if this is common in previous years? Any suggests if I'd have a road trip in Atlantic provinces?

Thank you!

I had been using Dawn dishwash spray. Is there Canadian choices, or at least non-US brands?

Thanks

I had been using Clorox's Liquid-Plumr Pro Strength Hair Clog Remover for years.

I had stockpiled it during CT's promotion last year, and it's used up now. Is there any Canadian replacement?

Thank you

Edit: Thank you for all your suggestions. I think I'd change my habit. I'm going to install a drain hair catcher to my bathroom sink, instead of using chemical hair remover twice a year

Canadians using Twitter/X are being bombarded by misleading right-wing posts designed to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish the reputation of Mark Carney.

The FT’s analysis finds a growing volume of that misinformation is coming not from Russia or China, but the United States.

There might be some changes that could improve it further:

  • ~~Remove Brave~~
  • ~~Maybe add Signal; It's easier than Element, but it's also centralized~~
  • Stop suggesting Linux Mint specifically
  • Recommend Hosted Nextcloud
  • ~~Add GrapheneOS~~
  • Maybe add Delta chat
  • ~~Maybe remove Bluesky~~
  • ~~Remove Stremio and add Jellfyin (even though it's selfhosted and not a direct equivalent)~~
  • ~~Add ente because Immich is selfhosted~~
  • ~~Add aurora~~
  • ~~Add SearxNG~~
  • Add SimpleX
  • Add lichess
  • Add pCloud

Any other suggestions?

I have been a Pringles lover for more than a decade, and it's time for me to find an alternative one. I like the saddle-shape and I don't know which brand provides it.

r/BuyFromEU suggests some local brands, but that's not my case:

Any suggestions? Thank you

 

I'm an Ontario resident, and I had been planing a trip to Alaska. For obvious reason, I'm re-routing to BC for glacier.

I have several doubts about this trip:

  1. As a first-time traveller for glacier, which park/route do you suggest?
  2. I'm not a fan of hiking. Can I stay on the driveway?
  3. I'm planning a 5-day trip. Is it too short?

Thank you!
