To be fair, the farmer bailout is a drop in the bucket of what they're down over lost sales to China and higher fertilizer prices. Like, have the day you voted for and all that, but 12B is 1% of this years military budget.

Fruity boomerang.

These anti-dumping duties have been in since 2014 with no appreciable result in jumpstarting a home-grown PV panel industry. So I think we can safely say that the only effect of them has been to cripple PV use in Canada over the past decade. The large users will just do an end run on a container of panels from China via Vietnam, anyway. So it's the small user that gets screwed. Maybe that's by design, I guess we need to follow the money to see where this regulatory lockin is benefitting someone. But it isn't consumers.

I'd have been fine with it if there was a domestic industry to protect, but it doesn't exist in NA. And before some smart guy says "but Canadian Solar!!!1!", you'll want to look into that brand a bit closer.

Hopefully he forgets the bulletproof glass one day.

I thought Colt Canada had gone tits up, I didn't realize CZ bought them. Good on them, CZ makes excellent products.

Does NixOS apply kernel updates live? I can't recall from when I used it.

The thing is the concepts were nothing new, the "science" was handwaving bullshit that didn't pass the sniff test, and the character development was so incredibly bad it beggars the imagination that it was written by a literature prof. Everything was a slap in the face that kept you from engaging in what little there was to recommend the story. And the deus ex machina plot device at the end that obviated everything else that proceeded it was the icing on the cake.

I wanted my money back at the end.

Maybe don't take away every firearm that isn't a single shot bolt action rimfire from people that have passed a more stringent background check than getting hired as a RCMP.

If it had been written in the last 3 years, I'd have been utterly convinced it was written by a bad AI.

I lost my last shred of respect for the Hugos when that won for its year. Execrable trash.

IDK how Frigate handles alerts, but Blue Iris will write an alert to MQTT topic if it matches object recog, and I have an app MQTT Alert that watches that and goes nuts if it comes up. The BI android app is underwhelming in its alerts.

I'd have to figure Frigate has some sort of MQTT capability. I tried using Frigate but it was pretty basic for my needs, so I moved on.

 

Now to invite my insurance agent over and watch her faint.

 

Keep in mind if you've pinned your docker-compose.yml as they suggest in the installation guide, you'll want to increment that.

 

It's becoming easy to see why Linus didn't merge anything from bcachefs for 6.17. And Kent isn't gaining himself any supporters by tearing down other filesystems in his tantrum.

 

There are parts 2-4 posted as well.

 

Picked up a new stock but dented Daikin furnace for $1200 a while back, and finally got around to installing it today. I had measured up and commissioned a plenum but fucked up a little bit, so it took longer to get the S-cleats properly installed and the plenum airtight than removing the old one, cutting in the cold air return, wiring the electrical and running the intake/exhaust pipes took put together. Approved ducting methods seem so fucking archaic, everything has to be tight but you can't just put things together without taking half a dozen things apart to get it to fit. Of course, I had to fix one transition because I lost my temper and punched the shit out of it.

On the plus side, it only took 2 trips to Home Despot, the second one because the old switch had been drywalled in and was completely inaccessible. I cut the wires off it and put a new box and switch where I could reach it.

I need to get a condensate pump yet, and call for an inspection, but winter is still a few months off so I have time.
