Clearly you already know the difference /s

I have no idea, I just use and remember the one I linked above.

Everyone needs to calm the fuck down. This isn't going to end well for anyone if we have WW3.

22 ish hours and I'll never do it again. Went from Kenora, Ontario to Ottawa, Ontario before I stopped for a hotel.

The one and only time I was put under I said "you know what you're doing, eh?" And he just put me out. I didn't mean to say that, I was just nervous. I did see a nurse laugh though so that's nice.

If you think about it, for a torrent, it can be posted as soon as someone has it for others to download. Usenet it will need to be uploaded to servers and replicated through the network before it can be downloaded.

Also, what's the race for? Watch it a couple minutes/hours/days late, who cares? I usually wake up early and watch a show or two before work.

+1 for nzbgeek.

I also use nzbplanet but they seem to have the same options as geek.

Nzb.su and DrunkenSlug are my "backup" but only because they don't have a lifetime subscription.

In the Usenet subReddit wiki you can find an awesome list of providers and their backbone. Again, I'm cheap so I went with the cheapest one I could find.. it's rare but because I'm not using "the best" I'll need to use torrents to get anything I can't grab from Usenet.

This is kind of my point. I don't feel there's a happy middle right now and unless you go tinfoil hat information is going to get out.

My threat model is basically "do my best to be as private as possible". But there is limits. I can spend $100 cash on gas or I can spend $100 on my credit card and get 2% back. Obviously I'm going to use my credit card. I still email people who use Gmail, People who have the facebook, instagram, X, etc on their phone has me as a contact, likely with my full name, email address, physical mailing address.

So why do I bother keeping my contacts in a selfhosted NextCloud? Why do I avoid the Google Maps app, or anything google when the wife uses all this stuff and I'm with her 90% of the time? I'm starting to think they have my information already anyway so why not welcome google into my life? I have to keep talking myself into the fact that self hosting is worth the extra work I'm causing myself.

I never really understood the "I have nothing to hide" mindset. I've always been for privacy. I self host everything I use, and when I don't (e-mail) I PAY someone to do it for me. No Google services in my life, no apple, etc, etc.

However, more and more I'm wondering if what I'm doing is worth it. Really, the people who "have nothing to hide" seem fine, nothing bad has happened, and it seems far more likely my information was leaked from a hack (credit carma I'm looking at you). Credit cards know where I am, what I buy.... Its endless. Plus now I have stress about my self hosted services going down.

So these guys who share their location and just live in blissful ignorance, are they on to something? I think life would be 'easier' for me on their side...

I'm from B.C. and only grade 7 is mandatory so that's all I took. Outside of that class, French was nonexistent and was a huge reason I didn't care about it. I regret not sticking it out, especially now that I live in a French community in Ontario.

I'm on a pixel 3 also. The size is important but the front facing speakers are amazing. I can't find anything else like it.

What in the actual fuck did I just watch.... Your entire channel is amazing. Please make more.

Canadian here. I signed a contract with 4weeks of vacation that was changed to 'unlimited' this year. So far I've taken 5 weeks and have a 6th week approved in November.

I haven't used any sick days but they're unlimited. If you take more than 3 in a row, you need a doctors note.

15 weeks parental leave that can be split between partners (father can use none/some/all to look after child while mother goes back to work)

I THINK the idea is you don't need a VPN with a private tracker. Other then that, the selection is usually better, and the seeders have faster uploads.

Ah yes, a polite adult conversation between two countries who have a dispute over land requires it to be empty. Couldn't possibility do that when lives are on the line. /s

There was a Whisky war over an island.

This is how shit should be settled, not whatever the fuck the rest of the world is doing.

Personally, I'd never use one of these scripts.

Most PCs have a windows key burned in to the BIOS.

I'd start there and see if it can be used for 11 or upgraded through the versions. Then I'd take a "clean" backup and use that to re-install in the future, instead of a new ISO.

I've been trying to reach you about your car insurance.

Same, just login page.
