It shows how effective the whole "Albertan independence" campaign by US interlocuters is - it's a lose-lose for Canada either way because the reputational damage it will do to Alberta's economy. And all you need to do this kind of shit is some analysts, a Facebook troll farm, and some weak politicians.
I saw this last night and it was pretty good! Great performances by great actors, interesting themes, good sets, good pacing. Just a great horror film all around. A24 staffed the team with veteran horror producers and gave Kane Parsons everything he needed to succeed with this film, and he sure did. Really pleased to see the success this movie is getting.
I've gotta go see this. The only thing I saw from Curry Barker before was his Milk and Serial 1 hr movie he released for free on YouTube, which is awesome, so I was stoked when I saw he directed Obsession!
I used pfSense for years and switched to OpenWRT. I highly recommend OpenWRT. pfSense is kinda trash IMHO. I tried to set up traffic shaping, so I could play games while my roommate was watching Netflix, and it just doesn't work as advertised. I tried like 20 different configurations for the traffic shaping, following all the documentation, guides, countless forum threads, etc, and none of it worked properly when you actually test it. At the end of the day, I concluded that nobody understands how to configure traffic shaping on it and even the developers didn't realize it was broken.
OpenWRT, on the other hand, just works better out of the box, and has the right level of customizability for home use. It has a way better ecosystem around it where you can download extra packages with GUIs... it's just much nicer to use, and doesn't have the QA problems I had with pfSense.
The situation kinda sucks but it is what it is. Basically, we've got private delivery firms with non-unionized employees and gig workers taking up the more lucrative package delivery business, with the crappy money-losing mail business going to Canada Post. Uniuni, Dragonfly, and Intelcom are replacing Canada Post. But Canada Post's union shot themselves in the foot by going on strike multiple times, for long enough that businesses switched away from using them because they're seen as unreliable now.
The gig worker model seems to be more efficient and clearly the investors of these companies agree, so I don't see any economic force that's going to stop things from continue in the direction that they are. There is still competition here though between these companies for small parcel delivery, so it's keeping shipping prices down.
P.S. this is also the model for private healthcare in Ontario that they're attempting - farm out the lucrative procedures to private clinics, with the expensive and risky treatments being done in public hospitals. So watch for that...
I'm confident that ICE and other US law enforcement agencies already have access to it. There is no presumption of privacy on anything you enter into any cloud-based LLM like ChatGPT, or even any search engine.
The consequences are already there and have been for like 15 years.
I think this should piss off a lot of people. Instead of doing something, they opted to do nothing, and now they're exploiting the tragedy as a PR opportunity. They're trying to shape their public image as an all-powerful arbiter. Worship the AI, or they will allow death to come to you and your family.
Or perhaps this is all just rage bait, to get us talking about this piece of shit company, to postpone the inevitable bursting of the AI bubble.
Edit: This is a sales pitch from OpenAI to the RCMP, with them saying they'll sell police forces an intelligence feed. It just comes across as horribly tone deaf and is problematic for so many reasons.
DirectX 5, that brings back some memories lol. That's when 3D started to get serious and it felt like there was a lot of innovation happening quickly (competition with 3dfx's Glide?).
I'm confident someone has done a price model comparing doing these "fake sales" vs. "real sales" vs. "no sales", ergo it is possible to quantify the damages. Smart/big businesses don't make decisions without doing the math first and then testing the price strategy, and that diligence could have been used against them to determine damages.
I'm late to the party here, but did you consider just paying for Mattermost? If it meets your needs, and your organization has 250 people, the cost for licensing is going to be relatively small compared to your IT budget (right?). They have "contact us" pricing, which means you can negotiate it.
As others said, spin down the drives when they're not in use. Make sure power saving is enabled on the drives and tune them to spin down after some appropriate amount of time. (hdparm lets you customize it on Linux)
Consider also sleeping the NAS when not in use. You can try using Wake-on-LAN to remotely wake it up when you need to use it. Saves on electricity and heat! You could also sleep it on a schedule, in case you need to be online for backups to run at particular times.
It doesn't, because they're the copyright owners. Think of their software as dual licensed: They run it themselves under a proprietary license, under which they reserve all rights. That has nothing to do with the AGPL version that they license to you. The AGPL doesn't take away the rights they have as copyright owners, nor does it preclude dual licensing.
(Are you a bot? Your reply is written like ChatGPT, and it has that self-defeating logic that ChatGPT has sometimes.... eg. you wrote that you disagree with me, but then parroted the exact thing that I said.)
This is flat out wrong. If you're the copyright owner, you're not licensing the code to yourself. The AGPL is the license under which they're making the open source version available to YOU. The version they run themselves is proprietary.
I don't have any thoughtful, critical analysis to add here, just wanted to say I too found V/H/S Halloween to be super boring and formulaic. I was really looking forward to it and it was disappointed, as I enjoyed most of the other movies in the series.
make it so

I have some bad news for you. Like 90% of stories are planted and fed to journalists as part of PR campaigns.

I like that this looks like OG Steam.

42 minute long video on dishwashers is a hard sell, life is too short to spend that much time on this
edit: a friend sent it to me after posting this and sure enough, I ended up watching nearly the whole thing lmao
