No particular reason but for that sort of thing I just do su -

I like to actually log in as root on a terminal to do admin stuff, never got into sudo really. Old habits, you know.

Wow, extremely not a good time to bring up that particular bullshit. I had to double-check that the date on it wasn’t April 1.

The labels are there in the current version on the page. The lines are at intervals pf 10% starting at 0.

You can tell I’m not very good at thinking like Danielle Smith because I called it the “fossil fuel industry.” In fact I am known to hold extremist views, such as that we should stop using oil and gas.

Garbage poll, including people who don’t even live in Alberta. “The Prairies” sure. What do they know about oil and gas in Manitoba? Ideally you’d want to poll only people with at least 5 years experience in the fossil fuels industry.

Clicking the link got me no closer to finding out what she’s supposed to have done to anger the idiots. I had to go to some random crazy-right substack to find out: “misleading reporting that tied an unrelated arson attempt to Freedom Convoy protests in 2022.”

In that case I don’t see why they’d object to it, their president seems to be all in favour of illegal trade barriers.

I think you’ll find it’s mostly about Canada.

Stupid woke scientists, denying that Jesus made the dinosaurs so that we’d have affordable gasoline.

Well f…

und the CBC. That would be interesting.

Port forwarding lets you connect with other hosts peer-to-peer which a VPN would otherwise block if both sides are behind one. For torrents you’d get more peers (which doesn’t matter if you’re just downloading the latest and most popular stuff) and be able to seed more effectively.

The requirement for port forwarding narrows that down to AirVPN and Windscribe, which is an unfortunately small set of choices.

Anyone have some free time over the next couple of weekends? Somebody needs to take over and rebuild the Green Party of Canada.

I’m sort of tired of articles describing some catastrophe that happened ten years ago and saying “it’s worrying.”

The demands:

• give Alberta full access to export oil to the north, east, west, south, up, and down

• stop saying mean things about oil and gas

• acknowledge that carbon dioxide is what plants crave

• double pollution in other provinces so Alberta doesn’t stand out so much

• put a tariff on the sun to stop solar power being so underpriced

• end the prohibition on littering

• dig a canal through B.C. so oil tankers can get to Edmonton

• halt the federal censorship of energy companies

Canada Proud appears to be Poilievre’s brand name for spreading lies he can’t get away with repeating himself.

Antagonizing the journalists, what a strategy — it worked so well for Maxime Bernier.

Un-modded Skyrim has health regen (even during combat) unless you turn on “survival mode” but overall it’s a much better game if you spend the first 30 hours installing mods. In particular the melee combat can be much improved with MCO and related things. Or just pick a wabbajack, I hear Tempus Maledictum is one that people like.

I felt like I was reading educational material from a high school textbook illustrating the way in which journalists usually fail to understand anything involving numbers. It’s not so much cherry picking, more like just randomly grabbing a few data points in the vicinity of a cherry tree which might include fruit, squirrels, wingnuts, and ball bearings and then instead of doing any meaningful analysis just throwing them into an AI-powered blender. And then to top it off, it ends with:
