I run it, summer gets crazy busy in the trucking industry and now I'm on my 3 weeks of holidays in Europe to recover 😅

It was only set up to work for 40 days between incidents because we hadn't made it over that in forever, then we did, and I was too busy to make more images. The situation has got better so I guess that's why I felt kind of ok with not keeping up with it.

Would be interested in knowing what kind of future projects we’re thinking about?

Other than a potential matrix server, I do not currently have anything in mind. The future is unpredictable.

An example of a non-profit effort that I took on in the past is COVID PPE 3D printing with volunteer community printers. If something like that was needed for pandemic or disaster relief again would be nice to not have to go through the trouble of spinning up a new non-profit.

I think we can definitely work with Canadian Open Source Communication Association. Maybe swap out Communication for Community.

Lemmy.ca is hosted on OVHcloud as they have a Canadian data center. If you're not specifically looking for a Canadian server, there's many other options that are priced more attractively.

It’s not a massive complaint, but I’d hope “m.lemmy.ca” would be reserved for something more OS agnostic.

Yup. I get what you're saying now. It doesn't fit indeed. And yes m.lemmy.ca will be reserved for something more OS agnostic.

Average amount of on the job training a driver gets when hired is probably half a shift. You're expected to know and be able to do it without any additional training.

I think that's totally wrong and bullshit but that's what's going on out there. Where I work it's 4-6 weeks full time for a driver with experience, 6 weeks to 10 weeks or so usually for a new driver, we've had at least one do 6 months+. We're a definite outlier tho and probably do the most on the job training out of any trucking company in BC.

There was no need to capitalize the word ‘grammar’

I'm going to blame that on using swipe/gesture typing. I definitely do know it shouldn't have been capitalized. Honestly though I'm surprised that's the only thing you found considering English is my third language.

I'll keep that in mind, and I've just had a realization, we can set up all the donation options and just not "cash out" until we're determined non-profit status and how we're going to set up the financial side of it.
